1. A User Equipment (UE) operable to communicate with a base station on a wireless network, comprising:
one or more processors configured to:
process a configuration transmission carrying a half-tone shifting indicator, wherein the configuration transmission is by a higher layer signaling;
select one or more subcarrier frequencies for Uplink (UL) transmission based on the half-tone shifting indicator; and
generate a UL transmission for the one or more subcarrier frequencies, wherein the half-tone shifting indicator indicates whether to apply a half-subcarrier offset or not; and
an interface for sending the UL transmission to a transmission circuitry and for receiving downlink (DL) transmissions from a receiving circuitry.
