Techniques for peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction are described. Wireless devices may use one or more PAPR shaping resources, such as expanded bandwidth and/or pulse-shaping filtering, for shaping a signal to reduce PAPR. For example, expanded bandwidth may be utilized for adding a cyclic affix (CA), such as may comprise a cyclic prefix (CP), cyclic suffix (CS), etc., and combinations thereof, to a frequency domain data signal to provide a CP augmented frequency domain data signal used to generate a reduced PAPR time domain data signal. Additionally or alternatively, pulse-shaping filtering may be applied to a frequency domain signal to provide a pulse-shaped frequency domain data signal used to generate a reduced PAPR time domain data signal. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

A method and apparatus detects and estimates geo-observables of navigation signals employing civil formats with repeating baseband signal components, i.e., “pilot signals,” including true GNSS signals generated by satellite vehicles (SV’s) or ground beacons (pseudolites), and malicious GNSS signals, e.g., spoofers and repeaters. Multi-subband symbol-rate synchronous channelization can exploit the full substantive bandwidth of the GNSS signals with managed complexity in each subband. Spatial/polarization receivers can be provided to remove interference and geolocate non-GNSS jamming sources, as well as targeted GNSS spoofers that emulate GNSS signals. This can provide time-to-first-fix (TTFF) over much smaller time intervals than existing GNSS methods; can operate in the presence of signals with much wider disparity in received power than existing techniques; and can operate in the presence of arbitrary multipath

A method is provided. In some examples, the method includes performing, by processing circuitry, a first transform operation on a first time-domain data set to generate a frequency-domain data set. In addition, the method includes determining, by the processing circuitry, that at least one portion of the frequency-domain data set satisfies a first threshold magnitude. The method also includes performing, by the processing circuitry, an inverse transform operation on the at least one portion of the frequency-domain data set to generate a second time-domain data set. The method further includes identifying, by the processing circuitry and based on the second time-domain data set, a region of interference in the first time-domain data set.

A method and system for providing sub-band whitening are herein provided. According to one embodiment, a method includes deriving an estimated noise plus interference variance (NIVar) based on at least one legacy-long training field (LLTF) symbol from an LLTF signal; and updating an interference whitening (IW) factor by using a sub-band NIVar.

The present disclosure relates to selectively determining whether to attenuate frequencies in a received signal by converting the received signal into frequency-domain data, filtering frequency components that are likely to include an interference component, and calculating signal quality of the signal data before and after filtering.

A wireless signal receiving device is disclosed that includes an RF tuner for receiving a wireless signal over an antenna radiator, a demodulator for demodulating the received signal to output a signal of a first frequency band, and a spread spectrum modulator for spreading a frequency spectrum of the demodulated signal to output a signal of a second frequency band. In addition, various embodiments recognized through the specification are possible.

A method and apparatus is claimed here for reduced-complexity detection and estimation of geo-observables of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) signals employing civil formats with repeating ranging codes, including true GNSS signals generated by satellite vehicles (SV's) or ground beacons (pseudo-lites), and malicious GNSS signals, e.g., spoofers and repeaters, using multi-subband symbol-rate synchronous channelization architectures that can exploit the full substantive bandwidth of the GNSS signals with managed complexity in each subband. Aspects employing spatial/polarization receivers are also claimed that can remove and geolocate non-GNSS jammers received by the system, as well as targeted GNSS spoofers that can otherwise emulate GNSS signals received at victim receivers. Aspects disclosed herein also provide time-to-first-fix (TTFF) over much smaller time intervals than existing GNSS methods; can operate in the presence of signals with much wider disparity in received power than existing techniques; and can operate in the presence of arbitrary multipath.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method for hybrid precoding and a communication device. For example, at a communication device in a wireless communication system, a plurality of signals associated with a pilot are received from a plurality of antennas of a further communication device over a wireless channel. Then, angle-domain characteristics of the wireless channel are determined based on the plurality of signals, and spatial correlation characteristics of the wireless channel is determined based on the determined angle-domain characteristics. Moreover, since complete channel state information is no longer needed in determining the spatial correlation characteristics of the wireless channel, the pilot-related signals shorten in the time are sent from the transmitter end to the receiver end. There is further disclosed a communication device capable of implementing the above method.
