Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the power characteristics of the transmitted signal by using modulation symbols with specific power levels and phase relationships. The two groups of modulation symbols have different power characteristics that when combined through the prescribed modulation method, result in lower peak average power ratio while maintaining sufficient transmission power for long-range communication.
