  • Publication number: 20240113922
    Abstract: A device may obtain an input symbol sequence for transmission. The device may further obtain a set of DPS sequences associated with Ni highest eigenvalues of a Slepian matrix and a set of extended sequences comprising the set of DPS sequences appended with extension symbols derived based on a convolution of respective DPS sequences. The device may modulate the set of extended sequences based on the input symbol sequence to generate a signal comprising Slepian-based waveform symbol(s). Another device may receive the signal, remove the extension symbols, and demodulate Slepian-based waveform symbol(s) of the signal based on the set of DPS sequences.

  • Publication number: 20240097956
    Abstract: A device may obtain a sequence of input samples. The device may further obtain a first set of sequences, which may be based on discrete prolate spheroidal sequences associated with eigenvalues having a value larger than a first threshold. The device may determine a first projected sample sequence comprising a projection of the sequence of input samples to the first set of sequences and generate a signal based on the first projected sample sequence. Another device may determine a window of received samples of the signal and project the window of received samples to the first set of sequences or filter the window of received samples to obtain a first sample sequence. The detection of the received signal may then be performed based on the first sample sequence.

  • Publication number: 20240094336
    Abstract: A signal may be generated by modulating a plurality of chirp signals with a set of input symbols. Chirp signals may be characterized by a second order bivariate polynomial and the coefficients of the quadratic terms of the polynomial may be selected to achieve desired frequency diversity. Furthermore, at least one of the coefficients may be adjusted based on channel state information to mitigate effective Doppler spread in a discrete affine Fourier transform domain virtual channel.
