Abstract:
1. A transmitter stage adapted to transmit modulation symbols on multiple frequency resources, comprising: a first Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) coder operable to receive modulation symbols to be transmitted; a first Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulator associated with said first DFT coder, said first OFDM modulator coupled to said first DFT coder to receive output from said first DFT coder; a first power amplifier coupled to receive output of said first OFDM modulator and operable to amplify said output for transmission on at least one frequency resource; a second DFT coder operable to receive modulation symbols to be transmitted on a set of frequency resources, wherein the frequency resources of the set of frequency resources are distinct from the at least one frequency resource a second OFDM modulator associated with said second DFT coder, said second OFDM modulator coupled to said second DFT coder to receive output from said second DFT coder; and a second power amplifier coupled to receive output of said second OFDM modulator and operable to amplify said output for transmission on said set of frequency resources.
