<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method, apparatus, and system for increasing data rates and improving reliability in a wireless communication system. <P>SOLUTION: The method comprises the steps of: identifying a set of guard tones for wireless orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals; encoding data for OFDM transmission; identifying a preferred puncture pattern to puncture the encoded data; puncturing the encoded data with the preferred puncture pattern; and transmitting the punctured encoded data, where a portion of the punctured encoded data is transmitted on a portion of the set of guard tones. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
