1. A wireless communication device, comprising:
one or more memories that store processor-executable code; and
one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and configured to, in association with executing the code, cause the wireless communication device to:
map, to a plurality of subcarriers, a physical layer (PHY) convergence protocol (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) conforming to a PPDU format associated with wireless communication on a carrier frequency below 7 gigahertz (GHz), the plurality of subcarriers spanning a bandwidth associated with the PPDU format;
transform the plurality of subcarriers into a time-varying signal at a sampling rate higher than the bandwidth, the sampling rate being associated with a subcarrier spacing (SCS) greater than 1.2 megahertz (MHz); and
transmit the time-varying signal, over a wireless channel, on a carrier frequency above 7 GHz.
