Apparatuses for next generation block-wise single carrier waveforms

Abstract:

Disclosed are apparatuses for a communication device. An apparatus for a communication device includes control circuitry configured to use circular convolution for pulse shape filtering of a block of data symbols of a single carrier waveform to generate a block-wise single carrier (BWSC) symbol. The apparatus is also configured to insert one of a data-based cyclic prefix or a data-based cyclic postfix into the BWSC symbol one of before the pulse shape filtering or after the pulse shape filtering. An apparatus for a communication device includes control circuitry configured to remove one or more of a cyclic prefix or a cyclic postfix from a received BWSC symbol, and use circular convolution to demodulate the received BWSC symbol.
