The redundancy is formed through repeating data symbols across OFDM symbols in both time and frequency. A novel frequency shift (FRESH) filter is applied to exploit the time-varying cyclostationary properties, enabling the communication while under interference. The ability to design an interference mitigating property into the communication signal creates a new degree of freedom when optimizing and adapting a waveform’s parameters. Simulation results demonstrate the performance gains in both signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) and bit error rate (BER) as compared to traditional time-invariant optimal filtering techniques and error correcting codes (ECC).application/pdfenCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 InternationalArticle - Refereed2018-01-07The Author(s)https://doi.org/10.1186/s13634-017-0523-7
