  • Encoding or decoding communication data
    Patent number: 12664880
    Abstract: A method of decoding a received communication signal is provided. The method may comprising converting the received communication signal to the frequency domain to provide frequency domain data. The method may further comprise combining amplitudes of one or more selected frequency components of the frequency domain data, the one or more frequency components being selected according to a predefined communication symbol comprising one or more selected frequency tones corresponding to the one or more selected frequency components. The method may further comprise detecting the predefined communication symbol in the received communication signal depending on the combined amplitudes of the one or more selected frequency components of the frequency domain data.

  • ENCODING OR DECODING COMMUNICATION DATA
    Publication number: 20250317236
    Abstract: A method of encoding communication data is provided. The method comprises encoding first communication data in units of individual communication symbols of one or more predefined first communication symbols, the first communication symbols each comprising one or more selected frequency tones. The method further comprises encoding second communication data in units of individual communication symbols of one or more predefined second communication symbols, the second communication symbols each comprising one or more selected frequency tones, the one or more predefined second symbols being different from the one or more predefined first symbols. Each of the first communication symbols, each of the second communication symbols, or each of the first and each of the second communication symbols comprise a plurality of selected frequency tones.
