Abstract

Methods and systems for communicating are disclosed. A method includes obtaining input communication symbols selected from a set of communication symbols, converting input communication symbols into transmittable waveforms using non-periodic functions, and transmitting transmittable waveforms over a communication channel. Another method includes receiving transmittable waveforms constructed using non-periodic functions and transmitted over a communication channel, and demodulating transmittable waveforms. A system includes a modulator adapted to obtain input communication symbols selected from a set of communication symbols and adapted to convert input communication symbols into transmittable waveforms using non-periodic functions, and a transmitter or transceiver adapted to transmit transmittable waveforms over a communication channel. Another system includes a receiver or transceiver adapted to receive transmittable waveforms transmitted over a communication channel and constructed using non-periodic functions, and a demodulator adapted to demodulate transmittable waveforms.

Claims (28)

1 . A method for communicating comprising:

obtaining one or a plurality of input communication symbols selected from a set of communication symbols;

converting the one or a plurality of input communication symbols into one or a plurality of transmittable waveforms using one or a plurality of non-periodic functions selected from a set of non-periodic functions; and

transmitting the one or a plurality of transmittable waveforms over a communication channel.

2 . The method for communicating of claim 1 , wherein each non-periodic function in the set of non-periodic functions differs from other non-periodic functions in the set of non-periodic functions by at least one of an amplitude, a phase, a frequency, a time direction, a time shift, a rotational direction, and a growth.

3 . The method for communicating of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the one or a plurality of input communication symbols and the set of non-periodic functions is obtained from at least one of a modulator, a computer-readable media, a computer, a satellite communication device and a mobile device.

4 . The method for communicating of claim 1 , wherein one or a plurality of portions of at least one of the one or a plurality of transmittable waveforms corresponds to at least one of the one or a plurality of input communication symbols.

5 . The method for communicating of claim 1 , wherein the one or a plurality of transmittable waveforms is at least one of generated and transmitted over the communication channel using two-component transmission.

6 . The method for communicating of claim 5 , wherein the one or a plurality of transmittable waveforms is at least one of generated and transmitted over the communication channel further using intra-symbol time multiplexing.

7 . A method for communicating comprising:

receiving one or a plurality of transmittable waveforms transmitted over a communication channel; and

demodulating the one or a plurality of transmittable waveforms,

wherein the one or a plurality of transmittable waveforms are constructed using one or a plurality of non-periodic functions selected from a set of non-periodic functions.

8 . The method for communicating of claim 7 , further comprising communicating one or a plurality of output communication symbols to at least one of a user, a computer-readable media, a computer, a satellite communication device and a mobile device.

9 . The method for communicating of claim 7 , wherein each non-periodic function in the set of non-periodic functions differs from other non-periodic functions in the set of non-periodic functions by at least one of an amplitude, a phase, a frequency, a time direction, a time shift, a rotational direction, and a growth.

10 . The method for communicating of claim 7 , wherein one or a plurality of portions of at least one of the one or a plurality of transmittable waveforms corresponds to at least one of one or a plurality of input communication symbols.

11 . The method for communicating of claim 7 , wherein the one or a plurality of transmittable waveforms is at least one of generated and transmitted over the communication channel using two-component transmission.

12 . The method for communicating of claim 11 , wherein the one or a plurality of transmittable waveforms is at least one of generated and transmitted over the communication channel further using intra-symbol time multiplexing.

13 . The method for communicating of claim 7 , wherein at least one of the one or a plurality of transmittable waveforms comprises a head portion and a tail portion, such that the tail portion returns the communication channel to initial conditions.

14 . The method for communicating of claim 7 , wherein the one or a plurality of transmittable waveforms is received using at least one of a receiver and a transceiver.

15 . A system for communicating comprising:

a modulator adapted to obtain one or a plurality of input communication symbols selected from a set of communication symbols, and to convert the one or a plurality of input communication symbols into one or a plurality of transmittable waveforms using one or a plurality of non-periodic functions selected from a set of non-periodic functions; and

at least one of a transmitter and a first transceiver adapted to transmit the one or a plurality of transmittable waveforms over a communication channel.

16 .
