In some examples of the method, apparatuses, and non-transitory computer-readable medium described herein, the first number of columns of the sub-matrix may be selected as quasi-equidistant columns from a total number of columns of the first matrix. In some examples of the method, apparatuses, and non-transitory computer-readable medium described herein, the first matrix may be a product of the IFFT matrix and a sub-carrier mapping matrix, and the sub-matrix includes columns of the first matrix that correspond to a subset of active subcarriers for the OFDM symbol that do not include guard subcarriers associated with a guard band of the OFDM symbol. In some examples of the method, apparatuses, and non-transitory computer-readable medium described herein, the first matrix corresponds to the IFFT matrix, and the sub-matrix includes columns of the first matrix that correspond to all subcarriers for the OFDM symbol including guard subcarriers associated with a guard band of the OFDM symbol, and one or more columns of the sub-matrix that are associated with the guard subcarriers may be discarded.
