Systems and techniques are described that are directed to filter frequency response shift compensation, including compensating for shifting in the rejection band of the filter. Compensation for the shifting in the rejection band can include applying a pre-distortion to attenuate edge resource units (RUs), and applying PHY Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) scheduling schemes. For example, a PPDU scheduling scheme reduce bandwidth in the channel, thereby dropping the out of band RUs. Front ends provide feedback to a respective radio, which allows that radio to apply the appropriate pre-distortion. The front ends can include one or more filters enabling frequency domain coexistence between collocated radios operating in the differing Wi-Fi bands, and a coupler that provides the feedback indicating the frequency response shift to a radio. The radio can then apply a digital pre-distortion to compensate for the shifting in the rejection band.

A transmitter may comprise a symbol mapper circuit and operate in at least two modes. In a first mode, the number of symbols output by the mapper circuit per orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol transmitted by said transmitter may be greater than the number of data-carrying subcarriers used to transmit the OFDM symbol. In a second mode, the number of symbols output by said mapper circuit per orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol transmitted by said transmitter is less than or equal to the number of data-carrying subcarriers used to transmit said OFDM symbol. The symbols output by the symbol mapper circuit may be N-QAM symbols. While the circuitry operates in the first mode, the symbols output by the mapper may be converted to physical subcarrier values via filtering and decimation prior to being input to an IFFT circuit.

A Faster-Than-Nyquist (FTN) signal transmission apparatus and method thereof. The signal transmission apparatus includes a pilot interference estimator and compensator configured to estimate interference on pilot symbols by a Faster-Than-Nyquist (FTN) signal generated by FTN modulating a sequence of data symbols, and generate a compensated pilot symbol sequence to cancel the estimated interference; a pilot FTN modulator configured to generate an FTN pilot signal in which inter-pilot symbol interference does not occur, by performing FTN pulse-shaping on the compensated pilot symbol sequence; and a transmitter configured to transmit an FTN data signal and the FTN pilot signal.

A transmitter for transmitting an output signal includes first and second filter structures. The first filter structure includes a first combiner to extend a first data signal by a first reference signal to obtain a first extended data signal, and a first IIR filter for filtering the first extended data signal to obtain a first filtered data signal. The second filter structure includes a second combiner to extend a second data signal by a second reference signal, and a second IIR filter for filtering the second extended data signal. The transmitter includes a multiplexer for combining the first and second filtered data signals to obtain the output signal. A system response of the first IIR filter based on the first reference signal corresponds to a system response of the second IIR filter based on the second reference signal.

Methods and systems for transmitting a signal. A first signal from a first device operating in spatial multiplexing transmission is concatenated with a second signal from a second device operating without spatial multiplexing transmission to generate a concatenated signal in a non-linearly superpositioned constellation, in which a portion of the constellation corresponding to the first signal is symmetrical about each of the real and imaginary axes. The concatenated signal is processed according to transmission processing of the second device, to generate a processed signal. The processed signal is transmitted.
