Abstract

Systems, methods and devices for communicating comprise one or more of a computer-readable media, a computer, a satellite communication device and a mobile device, wherein the at least one of a computer-readable media, a computer, a satellite communication device and a mobile device to perform at least one of supplying data as input communication symbols to an encoder, which converts the input communication symbols into transmittable waveforms having a head function and a tail function, which are different. A transmitter transmits transmittable waveforms over a communication channel, which is received by a receiver, then demodulated and output communication symbols carrying the data to at least one of a user, a secondary computer-readable media, a secondary computer, a secondary satellite communication device and a secondary mobile device.
