The peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR) of the frequency domain multiplexed wake-up signals (WUSs) specified in IEEE P802.11ba can be very large and difficult to manage since it depends on the number and allocation of the active channels, and the data rate on each channel. To address this issue, we propose a transmission scheme based on complementary sequences (CSs) for multiple WUSs multiplexed in the frequency domain. We discuss how to construct CSs compatible with the framework of IEEE P802.11ba by exploiting a recursive Golay complementary pair (GCP) construction to reduce the instantaneous power fluctuations in time. We compare the proposed scheme with the other options under a non-linear power amplifier (PA) distortion. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme can lower the PAPR of the transmitted signal in frequency division multiple access (FDMA) scenarios more than 3 dB and yields a superior error rate performance under severe PA distortion.
