Coding techniques for power controlled OFDM

We present previous results making a connection between generalised Reed-Muller codes and Golay (1949) complementary pairs and sets of sequences. We apply this work to obtain a flexible range of OFDM coding schemes enjoying efficient encoding and decoding and tightly controlled peak-to-mean envelope power ratio. We give an outline of previous work on decoding algorithms for these codes.
