1. A method comprising:
- detecting a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) subchannels comprising symbol-modulated subcarriers to generate a channelization vector indicating which of the subchannels are active and which of the subchannels are inactive;
performing data-symbol processing on the active subchannels in response to the channelization vector to generate a bit stream from the active subchannels; and
refraining from performing data-symbol processing on the inactive of the subchannels in response to the channelization vector,wherein each inactive sub-channel comprises a group of adjacent inactive OFDM sub-carriers.

Abstract
The channelization of a WB OFDM channel may be determined by detecting a plurality of subchannels and generate a channelization vector indicating which of the subchannels are active and which of the subchannels are inactive. In response to the channelization vector, data-symbol processing may be performed on the active subchannels and may be refrained from being performed on the inactive subchannels. In some embodiments, a decoded bit stream may be generated from the combined contributions of the active channels. In some embodiments, the subchannels may be detected with a parallel set of matched filters. The matched filters may have a coefficient spectrum matched to a corresponding one of the subchannels.
