| AS A RESULT OF REEXAMINATION, IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT: |
| The patentability of claims 1-7 and 9-29 is confirmed. |
| Claim 8 was not reexamined. |
|
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer-readable program code stored thereon, the computer-readable program code configured to be executed by at least one processor to implement a method for generating an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) transmission signal, the method comprising:
employing an invertible transform to spread a plurality of data symbols with complex-valued coefficients to generate a plurality of spread data symbols;
mapping the spread data symbols to a plurality of OFDM subcarriers; and
responsive to the mapping, modulating the spread data symbols onto the plurality of OFDM subcarriers to produce the OFDM transmission signal comprising a superposition of the OFDM subcarriers, wherein employing the invertible transform is configured to provide the superposition with a reduced peak-to-average power ratio.
