METHOD FOR SELECTING A DATA SIGNAL FOR GENERATING A MODULATED SIGNAL, SELECTION DEVICE, AND CORRESPONDING COMPUTER PROGRAM

A method of selecting a data signal implementing the following acts: a first act of modulating a first data signal carrying at least one content to be broadcast, called a first candidate signal, the first candidate signal carrying payload data and additional data associated with a communications layer; at least one second act of modulating a second data signal carrying the at least one content to be broadcast, called a second candidate signal, the second candidate signal carrying the payload data and additional data associated with the communications layer, the additional data being distributed differently in the second candidate signal, relative to the additional data of the first candidate signal; and an act of selecting from amongst the candidate signals, the candidate signal for which the modulation delivers a modulated signal having a peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) meeting a predetermined criterion.
