Abstract:
1. A method for facilitating communication in a communication system operable pursuant to a Multi Carrier Modulation communication scheme, said method comprising the steps of: (a) multiplying an input data block with a scrambling sequence selected from a plurality of scrambling sequences; (b) generating an altered data block by at least inverse Fourier transforming said product of said input data block and said selected scrambling sequence; (c) determining a transmitted power indicium value for said altered data block; (d) determining whether said determined transmit power indicium value is less than a power indicium threshold; (e) when said determined power indicium value is less than said power indicium threshold, accepting said altered data block without repeating steps (a)-(d); and (f) adding an identification sequence directly to said accepted altered data block to form a summed sequence, said identification sequence identifying said selected scrambling sequence and being of a length equal to said selected scrambling sequence.
