1. A method comprising:
- receiving a signal comprising N first sub-carriers;
wherein N≧
2;
generating 2N′
samples of the signal;
wherein N′
≧
N;
performing a first transformation on a first sub-set of the 2N′
samples;
performing a second transformation on a second sub-set of the 2N′
samples; and
combining an element of the first transformation with an element of the second transformation.

Abstract
Communications architectures, systems, devices and/or methods are disclosed that can increase capacity of conventional OFDM/OFDMA systems, devices, methods and/or protocols by as much as 100%. Conventional OFDM/OFDMA transmitter/receiver architectures, methods, systems and/or devices are improved upon via additional signal processing to provide the increased capacity and reduce non-linear distortion effects on higher-order modulation alphabets such as, for example, 256-QAM.
