Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may apply one or more spreading sequences to a set of modulation symbols of a data set to generate spread modulation symbols; apply a scrambling sequence to the spread modulation symbols to generate a set of scrambled symbols; and transmit a waveform based at least in part on the set of scrambled symbols. Numerous other aspects are provided.
