  • transmitting the same replicated frequency-domain signal in multiple RUs may lead to a repetition in time within an OFDM symbol and possibly an undesirably high peak to average power ratio, PAPR, so a remedy is required.
  • Solution #1 defining different predefined bit sequences, to be used as the payload to be sent over each RU, within each OFDM symbol.
  • Solution #2 defining a single predefined bit sequence, and generating different ones from it per RU by applying different, predefined cyclic shifts, or some other predefined permutations, on it, such as applying a pre-defined interleaving sequence to the predefined bit sequence
  • Solution #3 similar as solution #2, but replacing the applied different cyclic shifts by different scrambling sequences, possibly defined by different seeds of some Linear Feedback Shift Register, LFSR, e.g. the same LFSR which is already defined by the IEEE 802.11 WLAN standard for other purposes.
  • LFSR Linear Feedback Shift Register
  • Solution #4 applying different, predefined cyclic shifts, or some other predefined permutations on the modulated QAMs before or after LDPC tone mapping.
  • Solution #5 changing the order of the combinations of MCS and N ss per Rll; for example, if the order of the MCS values in the first Rll is 0,1 ,2,3 then the order in the second Rll is 1 ,2, 3,0.
  • the originator may choose to use multiple potential codewords to transmit, and may therefore indicate to the responder(s) which codeword is being used in the LA transmission.
