According to an aspect, there is provided a waveform processing device. The waveform processing device includes circuitry for receiving an input signal including one or more subsequent orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, OFDM, symbol blocks each of which includes a cyclic prefix and an OFDM data block and corresponds to one or more subbands. Further, the waveform processing device includes circuitry for segmenting each OFDM symbol block of the input signal into a set of a pre-defined number of partially overlapping signal blocks of equal length so that non-overlapping samples of the pre-defined number of partially overlapping signal blocks in each set include, in combination, an OFDM data block. Moreover, the waveform processing device includes circuitry for filtering each signal block in each set and for combining the filtered signal blocks in each set using overlap-and-save processing to produce one or more filtered OFDM data blocks for each subband.

An apparatus for band-limited frequency division multiplexing for uplink transmission to a base station or access point, particularly from an IoT device, comprises a signal modulator to transmit a signal over a set of contiguous equally spaced frequency sub-carriers ranging from a lowest frequency sub-carrier via intermediate sub-carriers to a highest frequency sub-carrier. The signal modulator contains a filter to apply asymmetric filtering over the range of the frequency sub-carriers, thereby to reduce a peak-to-average power ratio of the transmitted signal.

In one aspect, a transmitter, for a first time interval, allocates first and second portions of a frequency band to first and second multicarrier modulation schemes with first and second subcarrier spacings that differ from one another. The data is transmitted to wireless devices in the first time interval using the first and second multicarrier modulation schemes in the first and second portions of the frequency band. For a second time interval, third and fourth non-overlapping portions of a frequency band are allocated to third and fourth multicarrier modulation schemes that have third and fourth subcarrier spacings that differ from one another. The third and fourth portions and/or schemes differ from the first and second portions and/or schemes. The data is transmitted in the second time interval using the third and fourth multicarrier modulation schemes in the third and fourth portions of the frequency band.

An apparatus and digital signal processing means are disclosed for excision of co-channel interference from signals received in crowded or hostile environments using spatial/polarization diverse arrays, which reliably and rapidly identifies communication signals with transmitted features that are self-coherent over known framing intervals due to known attributes of the communication network, and exploits those features to develop diversity combining weights that substantively excise that co-channel interference from those communication signals, based on differing diversity signature, timing offset, and carrier offset between the network signals and the co-channel interferers. In one embodiment, the co-channel interference excision is performed in an appliqu? that can be implemented without coordination with a network transceiver.

Examples described herein include systems and methods which include wireless devices and systems with examples of mixing input data with coefficient data specific to a processing mode selection. For example, a computing system with processing units may mix the input data for a transmission in a radio frequency (RF) wireless domain with the coefficient data to generate output data that is representative of the transmission being processed according to a specific processing mode selection. The processing mode selection may include a single processing mode, a multi-processing mode, or a full processing mode. The processing mode selection may be associated with an aspect of a wireless protocol. Examples of systems and methods described herein may facilitate the processing of data for 5G wireless communications in a power-efficient and time-efficient manner.

A method for operating a device includes determining adaptation criteria for a waveform to be transmitted by a transmitting device over a communications channel towards a receiving device, and adjusting a generalized multi-carrier multiplexing parameter (GMMP) of the waveform in accordance with the adaptation criteria. The method also includes transmitting an indicator of the adjusted GMMP to at least one of the transmitting device and the receiving device.

A receiver has an antenna to receive a pulse shaped transmit signal transmitted by a transmitter of a multi carrier (MC) pulse shaped transmission system. The pulse shaped transmit signal includes a predefined signal pattern. The predefined signal pattern is not subjected to pulse shaping. The receiver includes a filter to pulse shape filter the pulse shaped transmit signal to obtain data for the receiver. The predefined signal pattern is retrieved from the pulse shaped transmit signal prior to filtering the pulse shaped transmit signal.

The invention concerns a method for conditioning a multicarrier transmit signal using a first or a second set of subgroups of time-frequency resource elements, with a subgroup of the first set of subgroups and a subgroup of the second set of subgroups having common time or frequency resources and being neighbored in time or frequency, wherein a first filter module (FILT1) filters the first set of subgroups using a first filter characteristic by a first set of filter coefficients, and a second filter module (FILT2) filters the second set of subgroups using a second filter characteristic by a second set of filter coefficients, and a base station and a transmitter apparatus (TA) therefor.

An apparatus for processing data symbols in a multi-carrier transmitter, includes a transmit pulse shaper and a transmit sub-band filter. The transmit pulse shaper is adapted to filter a plurality of data pulses with respective transmit pulse shaping filters. Each of the data pulses is associated with a respective carrier of the multi-carrier communication system. The transmit sub-band filter is adapted to perform sub-band filtering of the pulse-shaped data pulses. The sub-band filter and at least one of the transmit pulse shaping filters are correlated. This correlation may be achieved by jointly designing the sub-band filter and the pulse shaping filter(s).
