Abstract
Methods and corresponding systems for reducing a peak-to-average signal ratio include determining peak and null samples of a symbol. Thereafter, an error signal is calculated that is responsive to the peak and null samples. In one embodiment the error signal has values corresponding to differences between the peak samples and a high threshold and the null samples and a low threshold. In response to the error signal, a reserved tone set of time-domain samples are produced and added to a user data set of time-domain samples. The error signal can also be used to adapt a filter for filtering samples of a symbol.
