FIG. 19 shows a flowchart illustrating a method 1900 that supports subcarrier mapping techniques for GI-based OFDM communications in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. The operations of the method 1900 may be implemented by a base station or its components as described herein. For example, the operations of the method 1900 may be performed by a base station 105 as described with reference to FIGS. 1 through 8 and 13 through 16. In some examples, a base station may execute a set of instructions to control the functional elements of the base station to perform the described functions. Additionally or alternatively, the base station may perform aspects of the described functions using special-purpose hardware.
At 1905, the method may include determining configuration information for a first transmitter for OFDM communication, where the configuration information indicates that OFDM symbols within the OFDM communication include a first set of time-domain GI samples and a second set of time-domain data samples, and a permutation matrix is to be used to map a first set of GI inputs to a subset of a set of subcarriers for the OFDM communication. The operations of 1905 may be performed in accordance with examples as disclosed herein. In some examples, aspects of the operations of 1905 may be performed by a GI sequence manager 1525 as described with reference to FIG. 15.
