Abstract

Methods and apparatus provide increased symbol length with more subcarriers in a fixed-bandwidth system. The subcarriers spacing may be reduced to provide increased symbol length and enable higher throughput. In one implementation, a system compatible with the IEEE P802.11n proposal can use 128 subcarriers in 20 MHz operation to provide increased throughput in lower-bandwidth channel operation.
