Abstract: Aspects of the present application provide methods and devices for time domain implementation of a single carrier waveform such as single carrier quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) DFT-s-OFDM and single carrier Offset QAM (OQAM).

An OQAM implementation utilizes a pre-processing step to convert a K complex QAM symbol sequence into a 2K OQAM symbol sequence and generates a sequence for transmission in the time domain as opposed to the frequency domain.

Abstract: A system and method of DFT-S-OFDM modulation is provided that uses a set of frequency domain patterns. For a given transmitter, for a set of DFT-S-OFDM symbols, the frequency domain pattern changes according to a time domain hopping pattern. Advantageously, the time domain hopping patterns are defined to allow only a certain amount of overlap, for example for only one DFT-S-OFDM symbol, between any two time domain hopping patterns. This functions to reduce the effect of a collision, when two transmitters use the same frequency pattern, they will do so only for part of the overall transmission. Optionally, frequency domain spectral spreading is used in the transmitter. This can further reduce the PAPR. In the receiver, successive interference cancellation may be employed to reduce the effect of colliding transmissions.

Abstract: 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.
