Abstract
A user equipment, apparatus, and method are provided for wireless communication using an IG-OFDM structure. An apparatus is configured to transmit a known reference signal. The apparatus is configured to receive, in response to the reference signal and from at least one user equipment (UE), capability information that includes at least one of the sub-band bandwidth or number of independently decodable sub-bands that can be dynamically turned on or off by the at least one UE. The apparatus is configured to define an interleaved guard OFDM (IG-OFDM) structure according to the received capability information, the IG-OFDM structure including guard tones distributed within an OFDM symbol where there is no signal transmission on these guard tones. The apparatus is configured to communicate with the at least one UE using a transmitted waveform that is shaped according to the IG-OFDM structure.
