Wireless device and method for low power and low data rate operation
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions for execution by one or more processors of a wireless device to configure the wireless device for transmission of a packet comprising one or more orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) transmission symbols, the instructions to configure the wireless device to:
- map data to active tones and map zeroes to nulled tones of a set of OFDM tones to generate an OFDM symbol comprising both the active and the nulled tones, the number of active and nulled tones being based on a nulling factor; and
generate a packet comprising one or more OFDM transmission symbol from the generated OFDM symbol for transmission over a transmission bandwidth.

Abstract
Embodiments of a wireless device and method for transmitting a packet comprising one or more orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) transmission symbols are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the wireless device may be configured to map data to active tones and map zeroes to nulled tones of a set of OFDM tones to generate an OFDM symbol comprising both the active and the nulled tones. The number of active and nulled tones may be based on a nulling factor. The OFDM symbol may be down-clocked to generate an OFDM transmission symbol for transmission over a reduced transmission bandwidth. Accordingly, low power may be used for very low data rate transmissions, which may be suitable for sensor devices.
