A method of wirelessly communicating is disclosed. The method comprises
generating a plurality of tones for a wideband orthogonal frequency
division multiplex symbol (310), the tones including a plurality of
contiguous zero-valued tones, inverse Fourier transforming the tones to a
plurality of time-domain samples (312), copying a plurality of the
time-domain samples as a portion of a cyclic block (314), the cyclic
block (314) contiguous with the time-domain samples (312), time-domain
window filtering the time-domain samples (312) and the cyclic block (314)
to form a portion of the wideband orthogonal frequency division multiplex
symbol (310), wherein the time-domain window filter (350) is a function
.PHI.(k) having the property that .PHI.(k)+.PHI.(k+N.sub.fft) is about
equal to a constant .theta. where N.sub.fft is the number of tones, and
transmitting the wideband orthogonal frequency division multiplex symbol
(310).
