Generating an FSK signal comprised in an OFDM signal
Abstract:
A method is disclosed of generating a frequency shift keying (FSK) signal comprised in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signal comprising a plurality of sub-carriers. The FSK signal comprises FSK symbols wherein each FSK symbol has a corresponding FSK symbol frequency. The method comprises assigning a set of adjacent sub-carriers to transmission of the FSK signal (wherein the set is a sub-set of the plurality of sub-carriers), and associating each FSK symbol frequency with a corresponding sub-carrier in the set of adjacent sub-carriers. The method also comprises selecting, for each FSK symbol to be transmitted, an FSK symbol phase such that an FSK signal phase at a start of the FSK symbol to be transmitted meets a phase difference criterion in relation to the FSK signal phase at an end of an immediately previous FSK symbol. The method further comprises generating the FSK signal comprising the FSK symbol to be transmitted by modulating the sub-carrier corresponding to the FSK symbol frequency based on the selected FSK symbol phase and muting the remaining sub-carriers of the set. Corresponding arrangement, access point and computer program product are also disclosed.
