Time-Frequency Warped Waveforms
The forthcoming communication systems are advancing towards improved
flexibility in various aspects. Improved flexibility is crucial to cater
diverse service requirements. This letter proposes a novel waveform design
scheme that exploits axis warping to enable peaceful coexistence of different
pulse shapes. A warping transform manipulates the lattice samples non-uniformly
and provides flexibility to handle the time-frequency occupancy of a signal.
The proposed approach enables the utilization of flexible pulse shapes in a
quasi-orthogonal manner and increases the spectral efficiency. In addition, the
rectangular resource block structure, which assists an efficient resource
allocation, is preserved with the warped waveform design as well.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures; accepted version (The URL for the final version:

Time-frequency warped waveforms for well-contained massive machine type communications
This paper proposes a novel time-frequency warped waveform for short symbols, massive machine-type communication (mMTC), and internet of things (IoT) applications. The waveform is composed of asymmetric raised cosine (RC) pulses to increase the signal containment in time and frequency domains. The waveform has low power tails in the time domain, hence better performance in the presence of delay spread and time offsets. The time-axis warping unitary transform is applied to control the waveform occupancy in time-frequency space and to compensate for the usage of high roll-off factor pulses at the symbol edges. The paper explains a step-by-step analysis for determining the roll-off factors profile and the warping functions. Gains are presented over the conventional Zero-tail Discrete Fourier Transform-spread-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (ZT-DFT-s-OFDM), and Cyclic prefix (CP) DFT-s-OFDM schemes in the simulations section.United States Department of Energy (DOE) ; Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research ; National Science Foundation (NSF

Velocity estimation via registration-guided least-squares inversion
This paper introduces an iterative scheme for acoustic model inversion where
the notion of proximity of two traces is not the usual least-squares distance,
but instead involves registration as in image processing. Observed data are
matched to predicted waveforms via piecewise-polynomial warpings, obtained by
solving a nonconvex optimization problem in a multiscale fashion from low to
high frequencies. This multiscale process requires defining low-frequency
augmented signals in order to seed the frequency sweep at zero frequency.
Custom adjoint sources are then defined from the warped waveforms. The proposed
velocity updates are obtained as the migration of these adjoint sources, and
cannot be interpreted as the negative gradient of any given objective function.
The new method, referred to as RGLS, is successfully applied to a few scenarios
of model velocity estimation in the transmission setting. We show that the new
method can converge to the correct model in situations where conventional
least-squares inversion suffers from cycle-skipping and converges to a spurious
model.Comment: 20 pages, 13 figures, 1 tabl
A new method for the determination of the locking range of oscillators
A time-domain method for the determination of the injection-locking range of oscillators is presented. The method involves three time dimensions: the first and the second are warped time scales used for the free-running frequency and the external excitation, respectively and the third is to account for slow transients to reach a steady-state regime. The locking range is determined by tuning the frequency of the external excitation until the oscillator locks. The locking condition is determined by analyzing the Jacobian matrix of the system. The method is advantageous in that the computational effort is independent of the presence of widely separated time constants in the oscillator. Numerical results for a Van Der Pol oscillator are presented
