Method for combating impulsive interference/noise in multicarrier underwater acoustic communications
A communication system includes a repetitive orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (ROFDM) transmitter communicating with an ROFDM receiver. The ROFDM transmitter includes an ROFDM modulator, which includes a K-point Fast Fourier Transform receiving a block of time-domain data symbols and generating an initial orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing symbol. The initial orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing symbol is based on a block of frequency-domain data symbols corresponding to the block of time-domain data symbols. The initial orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing symbol includes an ending part. The ROFDM modulator includes an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing symbol repeater generating a repetitive orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing symbol by repeatedly reproducing the initial orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing symbol. The modulator includes a cyclic prefix adder prepending a cyclic prefix to the repetitive orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing symbol to generate a baseband transmitted signal. The cyclic prefix includes the ending part of the initial orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing symbol. The ROFDM receiver includes an ROFDM demodulator.
RESOURCE CONSERVING WEIGHTED OVERLAP-ADD CHANNELIZER
Systems and methods are provided for channelizing. A first stage can provide a WOLA filter bank that can apply a single multiplier resource to perform window weighting for multiple WOLA filter banks. The first stage can remove mixer-based post FFT adjustment and provide equal functionality with a particular modification of tuning mixers at inputs of second stage FIR paths. The first stage can include a variable decimation, using a particular implementation of variable sample block size.

SINGLE RADIO SWITCHING BETWEEN MULTIPLE WIRELESS LINKS
A computing device (such as a computer gaming console) uses only a single radio to concurrently communicate with a wireless network access point and wireless client devices such as game controllers or peripherals. To establish and maintain both a high-throughput link with the access point, and a low-latency link with the client device(s), the single Wi-Fi radio of the computing device is configured to periodically switch between a channel used for the high-throughput link and a different channel that is used for the low-latency linkthus implementing a combination of frequency division multiplexing (FDM) and time division multiplexing (TDM). The console may use aspects of the Wi-Fi protocol standard to ensure that periodically switching its single radio between the two channels is accomplished while maintaining reliable communication on both channels.

Satellite system having terminals in hopping beams communicating with more than one gateway
A satellite communication system includes a satellite configured to provide a first plurality of spot beams adapted for communication with subscriber terminals using time domain beam hopping and a second plurality of spot beams adapted for communication with gateways. The satellite includes a spectrum routing network that is configured to time multiplex spot beams of the second plurality of spot beams with spot beams of the first plurality of spot beams so that a spot beam that is implementing beam hopping for communication to subscriber terminals communicates with different feeder beams (and, therefore, different gateways) at different times during a hopping period.
