The present invention, generally speaking, provides for signaling methods in which multiple sub-bands of a transmission band are continuously occupied by an OFDM signal that would otherwise occupy only a single sub-band. In accordance with one embodiment, steps include producing an OFDM symbol; transforming the OFDM symbol to produce an OFDM signal; upsampling the OFDM signal to produce an upsampled OFDM signal; applying a pseudo-random code to the upsampled OFDM signal to produce a coded OFDM signal; and upconverting the coded OFDM signal to produce a radio frequency signal. In accordance with another embodiment, steps include producing an OFDM symbol; transforming the OFDM symbol to produce an OFDM signal; and upconverting the coded OFDM signal to produce a radio frequency signal; wherein the radio frequency signal occupies multiple ones of the following sub-bands: a first sub-band from about 3200 MHz to about 3700 MHz; a second sub-band from about 4000 MHz to about 4200 MHz; and a third sub-band from about 4200 MHz to about 4800 MHz. In accordance with still another embodiment, steps include producing a sequence of N consecutive identical OFDM symbols; transforming the OFDM symbols to produce corresponding OFDM signals; and upconverting the coded OFDM signal to produce a radio frequency signal; wherein the radio frequency signal occupies N sub-bands of a transmission band.
