Abstract
A device and method for communicating frequency-coded symbols that include data elements and reference symbols are disclosed. In one aspect, a carrier frequency band includes a plurality of subcarrier frequency bands. Data elements are transmitted and received on respective pairs of adjacent subcarrier frequency bands to provide diversity. Reference symbols are transmitted and received on predetermined subcarrier frequency bands. Muting is applied to selected subcarrier frequency bands based on the number and frequency configuration of the reference symbols.

A method for transmitting data on a predetermined carrier frequency band having a plurality of subcarrier frequency bands, comprising:
- determining available subcarrier frequency bands for transmitting data symbols based on identifying one or more subcarrier frequency bands for transmitting one or more corresponding reference symbols;
- determining a set of pairs of subcarrier frequency bands from said determined available subcarrier frequency bands, each pair including a first subcarrier frequency band and a second subcarrier frequency band adjacent to the first subcarrier frequency band, wherein each subcarrier frequency band is associated with no more than one pair;
- determining a set of unpaired subcarrier frequency bands that are not associated with any pair within the determined set of pairs;
- and
- transmitting the data symbols based on a predetermined rule, wherein the predetermined rule includes simultaneously transmitting each of the data symbols on both of the first and second subcarrier frequency bands in a corresponding pair within the determined set of pairs.
