Abstract: A method for compensation of information losses caused by blanking out pulse-shaped interferences in a communication signal, wherein a receiver receives a modulated OFDM-based signal comprising an overlap of a sequence of a predetermined number of subcarrier signals whose frequencies differ by a constant amount and which have substantially no signal portions at the frequencies of the respective other subcarrier signals, and pulse-shaped interference signals. The pulse-shaped interference signals are eliminated by pulse blanking. The obtained signal in the frequency domain is characterized in that the signal portions at each subcarrier frequency consist of an overlap of determinable signal portions respectively of all other subcarrier signals.

Abstract: The invention relates to N subcarriers of an OFDM communication system or OFDM based multi-carrier communication system M subcarriers used as cancellation subcarriers to achieve side lobe suppression of the OFDM transmission signal, where M<N. The M cancellation subcarriers are scaled with a generally complex weighting factor. Determining the weighting factor is performed in accordance with a suitable optimization criterion. Application in OFDM-based wireless and wired communication systems.

Abstract: The subcarriers in an OFDM communication system or OFDM-based multicarrier communication system are multiplied with weighting factors, determined so that in accordance with an optimization criterion the side lobes are minimized in a determined frequency domain. In determining the weighting factors constraints can be taken into account to further boost system power output.
