Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A transmitting device may encode a set of bits to transmit to a receiving device based on a repetition factor. The transmitting device may map, based on the repetition factor, the set of encoded bits to a subset of subcarriers such as adjacent subcarriers of a set of subcarriers. The transmitting device may generate a signal including the set of encoded bits based on the mapping, and transmit the generated signal to the receiving device. The receiving device may receive a modulated signal from the transmitting device, and identify, based on a repetition factor, a subset of subcarriers including adjacent subcarriers of a set of subcarriers associated with the modulated signal. The receiving device may average the subset of subcarriers including the adjacent subcarriers, and demodulate the modulated signal in accordance with the averaged subset of subcarriers including the adjacent subcarriers.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A transmitting device may encode a set of data bits on a set of subcarriers based on a boosting factor, and map the set of encoded data bits to a resource block including a first subset of subcarriers corresponding to the set of encoded data bits and a second subset of subcarriers corresponding to a set of null bits. The transmitting device may generate and transmit a signal including the set of encoded data bits. A receiving device may receive a modulated signal on a set of subcarriers, and de-map the modulated signal to a first subset of subcarriers and a second subset of subcarriers based on a boosting factor. The receiving device may decode the first subset of subcarriers to a first set of data bits and the second subset of subcarriers to a second set of data bits.

Aspects of the present application provide methods and devices for time domain implementation of a single carrier waveform such as single carrier quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) DFT-s-OFDM and single carrier Offset QAM (OQAM). A time domain implementation allows flexible symbol lengths, lower implementation complexity as a large IDFT operation is not required in the time domain and support for variable cyclic prefix (CP) length. An OQAM implementation utilizes a pre-processing step to convert a K complex QAM symbol sequence into a 2K OQAM symbol sequence and generates a sequence for transmission in the time domain as opposed to the frequency domain.
