## Abstract

In some implementations, a transmitter may transmit an indication of a frequency interleaver, from a set of frequency interleavers, that provides an interleaved sequence for a communication, the frequency interleaver being selected based on a peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the interleaved sequence. The transmitter may transmit the communication including the interleaved sequence, and an index of the interleaved sequence being associated with an input signal that is interleaved via the frequency interleaver when the input signal is in a frequency domain.
