Abstract

The claimed subject matter relates to enforcing a threshold peak to average power while reducing affects associated with saturation. This can be accomplished, for instance, by assessing piecewise linear approximation of an ideal saturation region, wherein the ideal saturation region is based at least in part upon the threshold peak to average ratio. Thereafter, a desirably transmitted signal can be saturated if power associated with the signal lies outside a region encompassed by the piecewise linear approximation.
