Patent ID: 7817731

Claim:
A method for matching the signal amplitudes of a received signal's N subcarriers in a multicarrier radio transmission system, the method comprising: determining, with the multicarrier radio transmission system, channel estimates for each one of the N subcarriers, determining, with the multicarrier radio transmission system, from the N subcarrier's channel estimates, a signal strength distribution as a cumulative histogram, determining, based on the signal strength distribution of the channel estimates, a signal strength threshold value E as a maximum signal strength, whose magnitude is less than or equal to the signal strength of a predetermined number L of subcarriers, multiplying or weighting, with the multicarrier radio transmission system, subcarrier data signals by/with a multiplication factor M, and setting, with the multicarrier radio transmission system, data signal values whose signal strength is above the signal strength threshold value E to a fixed value.
