In this example, a first matrix (K) 605 may be based on a product of an IFFT matrix (FN?1) and a subcarrier mapping matrix (B) (e.g., K=FN?1B). The number of columns of the first matrix (K) 605 may correspond to Nsc 615 (e.g., where Nsc=Nd+Nr). A total number of columns 610 may correspond to Nfft, and include guard tones. A total number of rows 620 may also correspond to Nfft, and include GI rows Nu 625, and data rows Nx 630. In this example, a sub-matrix of interest (Z) may correspond to the GI rows Nu 625 and the columns Nsc 615. When selecting columns 635 of the sub-matrix of interest (Z) to determine the permutation matrix, in this example, a quasi-equidistant selection may be performed based on Nsc 615. It is noted that equidistant columns of a row sub-matrix of a DFT matrix are orthogonal, in cases where the number of columns needed (Nr) is a factor of the DFT size (e.g., Nfft=16, Nr=4, as illustrated in
