An apparatus for receiving signals includes a receiver for receiving a time domain signal from a transmitter, wherein at least one first information bit is mapped, resulting in at least one first mapped symbol; at least one second information bit is mapped, resulting in at least one second mapped symbol; the at least one second mapped symbol is multiplied by at least one third information bit; and the time domain signal is generated from the at least one first mapped symbol and the at least one second mapped symbol.

A reception apparatus includes reception circuitry and decoding circuitry. The reception receives a signal including a legacy header field, an enhanced directional multi-gigabit (EDMG) header field, and a data field. The decoding circuitry decodes data included in the data field of the received signal. The legacy header field includes a Length field comprising multiple bits. The reception apparatus is an EDMG terminal, and a subset of the multiple bits of the Length field included in the legacy header field is used to indicate bandwidth over which the signal is transmitted. Remaining bits of the Length field included in the legacy header field are used to indicate data length of the received signal.

Implementations described herein are directed to satellite transmitters and receivers for applying OFDM-like signaling in broadband satellite transmissions. In such systems, one or more data signals may be shaped and composited into a composite data signal at an OFDM-like transmitter for transmission over a satellite channel. The data signals that are carried over the satellite channel by the composited signal may have their own carrier, and each signal may carry multiple OFDM subcarriers. Further implementations are directed to correcting for distortion in satellite communications systems that utilize OFDM-like signaling. This distortion correction may account for the linear and nonlinear distortion introduced by the high power amplifier of a satellite receiving a composite signal, the linear and nonlinear distortion caused by the interaction of the signals in the composite, the linear and nonlinear distortion caused by the interaction between OFDM subcarriers, and/or the linear and nonlinear distortion caused by inter-carrier interference.

A mixed numerology OFDM system is presented herein relative to a first OFDM numerology having a first subcarrier spacing and associated with a first signal having a first length. A second signal having a second length and associated with a second OFDM numerology having a second subcarrier spacing greater than the first subcarrier spacing is generated by generating a sub-frame comprising redundant data appended to each of a plurality of OFDM symbols and generating the second signal by appending group redundant data to the sub-frame such that the second length equals the first length. The number of OFDM symbols in the sub-frame is selected such that a length of the sub-frame is as large as possible without exceeding the length of the first OFDM symbol in the first signal. The receiver may extract the first the first and second signals from a received composite signal using a single FFT.

A method of operating a user equipment comprises addressing multi-subcarrier system resources using multiple different numerologies available within a single carrier, the multiple different numerologies comprising a first numerology having resource blocks (RBs) with a first bandwidth and a first subcarrier spacing, f1, and a second numerology having RBs with a second bandwidth and a second subcarrier spacing, f2, which is different from f1, wherein the first numerology is aligned in the frequency domain relative to a frequency reference, Fref, according to m*f1+Fref and the second numerology is aligned in the frequency domain relative to the frequency reference, Fref, according to n*f2+Fref, where m and n are integers. The method further comprises transmitting and/or receiving information within the single carrier according to the at least one of the multiple different numerologies.
