Claim Text:
1. A method of wireless communication, comprising: selecting a cyclic prefix overhead for orthogonal division multiple access (OFDMA) symbols to be transmitted in a broadcast, wherein the cyclic prefix overhead is determined based on an integer multiple of a standard carriers-to-resource blocks (RBs) definition, wherein the integer multiple comprises a number of carriers selected to result in an integer number of carriers relative to 300 carriers per 25 RBs; selecting a cyclic prefix duration for the OFDMA symbols, wherein the cyclic prefix duration is determined to result in an integer number of carriers per RB based on the integer multiple of the standard carriers-to-RBs definition, and wherein the selected number of carriers allows for the cyclic prefix duration to vary according to the number of carriers selected; and transmitting the OFDMA symbols using the cyclic prefix duration and cyclic prefix overhead.
