Block segmentation procedure for reduction of peak-to-average power ratio effecs in orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing modulation

摘要

A method of transmitting user data blocks is disclosed. The method comprises comparing the peak output of a transmission data block to a constant based on the dynamic range of a power amplifier. For any transmission data block that has a peak output greater than the chosen constant the data block is divided into two or more segments. The segments are transmitted individually to a receiver.
