Patent attributes
A transmitter in a wireless communication network includes a bits-to-symbol mapper that produces a plurality of data symbols; and a waveform modulator that receives a first discrete-time waveform and at least a second discrete-time waveform that comprises a cyclic shift of the first discrete-time waveform; modulates a first one of the plurality of data symbols onto the first discrete-time waveform and modulates a second one of the plurality of second data symbol onto the second discrete-time waveform, to produce a plurality of modulated discrete-time waveforms; and sums the plurality of modulated discrete-time waveforms to produce a modulated discrete-time signal to be transmitted in the network. The first discrete-time waveform and at least the second discrete-time waveform are multicarrier signals.
