Abstract

A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may generate a first signal that utilizes a tail suppression signal generated from data and utilizes a first unique word. Elements of the data and the first signal may be mapped to one or more discrete Fourier transform spread (DFT-S) functions. An inverse DFT on symbols generated by the one or more DFT-S functions may be performed to generate a second signal for transmission.

Claims (32)

1. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising:

a processor configured to generate a first signal that utilizes a tail suppression signal generated from data and utilizes a first unique word;

the processor further configured to map elements of the data and the first signal to one or more discrete Fourier transform spread (DFT-S) functions;

the processor further configured to perform an inverse DFT on symbols generated by the one or more DFT-S functions to generate a second signal; and

a transceiver configured to transmit the second signal.

2. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the symbols generated by the one or more DFT-S functions are shaped prior to the inverse DFT.

3. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein a second unique word is added to the second signal prior to the transmission.

4. The WTRU of claim 3 , wherein the first unique word or the second unique word is based on the data.

5. The WTRU of claim 3 , wherein the first unique word is associated with a length based on an estimated channel impulse response.

7. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the tail suppression signal is based on a previous tail buffered by the WTRU.

8. A method performed by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising:

generating, by the WTRU, a first signal utilizing a tail suppression signal generated at the WTRU from data and utilizing a first unique word;

mapping, by the WTRU, elements of the data and the first signal to one or more discrete Fourier transform spread (DFT-S) functions;

performing, by the WTRU, an inverse DFT on symbols generated by the one or more DFT-S functions to generate a second signal; and

transmitting, by the WTRU, the second signal.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the symbols generated by the one or more DFT-S functions are shaped prior to the inverse DFT.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein a second unique word is added to the second signal prior to the transmitting.
