An input signal has a desired signal component and an interfering signal component superimposed thereon. Interfering component estimation processing is applied to the input signal, obtaining as a result a filtered signal comprising a sequence of filtered data samples. The filtered signal is subtracted from the input signal obtaining as a result an output signal comprising a sequence of output data samples. The interfering component estimation processing applies conjugating processing to the input signal, providing a conjugated version of the input signal. An adaptive signal processing coefficient is computed and adaptive signal processing is applied to the conjugated version of the input signal using the adaptive processing coefficient.

A system and method are provided for processing symbols for transmission. The method involves producing a single carrier offset quadrature amplitude modulation (OQAM) waveform signal from a set of K complex symbols. The method further involves pulse shaping 2K frequency domain samples of the OQAM waveform signal with J non-zero coefficients, where the J non-zero coefficients represent a frequency response of a conjugate symmetrical pulse shape, and K≤J≤2K−1. The approach has the advantage of avoiding self-interference, with the result that better BLER performance may be possible. The approach is applicable to any modulation order and also avoids bandwidth expansion. Flexibility is provided through a trade-off between PAPR vs. spectrum efficiency.

A system and method are provided for processing symbols for transmission. A set of 2K outputs is produced that includes K real components and K imaginary components from K complex symbols. A Fourier transform operation on the 2K outputs produces 2K Fourier transform outputs. Transmit pulse shaping is applied to the 2K Fourier transform outputs. The transmit pulse shape may be Nyquist or non-Nyquist. An inverse Fourier transform operation on the J pulse shaped outputs produces an inverse Fourier transform output. In the receiver, equalization is performed to remove the effect of both the channel and the transmit pulse shape. Nyquist pulse shaping is performed by applying a Nyquist pulse shape prior to converting back to time domain. The approach avoids self-interference, even in situations where the transmit pulse shape is non-Nyquist. The transmitter is free to select a pulse shape to optimize PAPR without being concerned with interference.
