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.

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 appliqué that can be implemented without coordination with a network transceiver.

A method may include receiving, by a user device from a network node, information indicating a set of frequency resources assigned to the user device for uplink transmission and a spectrum shaping configuration indicating at least spectrum shaping with spectrum extension for transmission of reference signals via the set of frequency resources; performing, by the user device, spectrum shaping with spectrum extension for a reference signal; and transmitting the spectrum shaped and extended reference signal via at least a portion of the set of frequency resources.

A selectable bandwidth filter has an analysis filter bank and a synthesis filter bank having M paths. A masking vector is disposed between the analysis filter bank and the synthesis filter bank. The masking vector enables select ones and disables unselected ones of the M paths, so as to define an output signal bandwidth.
