An apparatus for communication in a wireless communication network comprises a coder that encodes a set of data symbols to produce a set of coded symbols; a modulator that modulates the coded symbols onto a set of subcarrier frequencies to generate a time-domain signal comprising a sum of a set of modulated pulse waveforms; and a transmitter configured for transmitting the time-domain signal in the wireless communication network. The coder employs a matrix of spreading codes, wherein each column of the matrix multiplies a different one of the data symbols, which causes the modulator to produce a corresponding one of the set of modulated pulse waveforms. Each column of the matrix of spreading codes comprises a set of linearly increasing phases, which provides a time offset to the corresponding modulated pulse waveforms.

The present disclosure discloses a method and a system for transmitting DFT-s-OFDM symbols. A data sequence for transmitting as an OFDM symbol is received as input from a data source. A reference sequence for transmitting along with the data sequence as the OFDM symbol is generated and time-multiplexed with the data sequence, to generate a multiplexed sequence. Thereafter, a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) operation is performed on the multiplexed sequence to generate a DFT-spread-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM) symbol that is further processed for transmitting over a channel. The transmission of the reference sequence and the data sequence in a single OFDM symbol provides better bandwidth utilization and flexibility in modulation of the reference sequence and the data sequence.
