Abstract

A method and system for communication of information in OFDM format are disclosed. The method employs multi-symbol encapsulation (MSE), wherein multiple OFDM symbols are grouped together in cyclic frames having a single cyclic guard portion, for example a cyclic prefix, with multiple OFDM symbols sandwiched between each two consecutive cyclic guard portions. All OFDM symbols of one frame are equalized together at the receiver in a frequency domain using a single DFT/IDFT operation sequence. Embodiments of the MSE OFDM system are disclosed enabling high bandwidth efficiency, high tolerance to carrier frequency offset and low peak-to-average power ratio.
