The disclosed apparatus and methods may include determining a channel impulse response based on an estimated channel frequency response. The estimated channel frequency response, the channel impulse response, or both may include noise. An impulse response mask may be determined based on the channel impulse response, and further applied to the channel impulse response to obtain a noise-reduced channel impulse response, which may be Fourier transformed to obtain a noise-reduced channel frequency response.

Methods and systems to resolve cyclic ambiguity of a scattered-pilot based channel impulse response as a function of transmission parameter signalling (TPS), such as in a single frequency network, including to zero-pad a first orientation of the channel impulse response to an interval of an effective symbol duration of the multi-carrier signal, compute a channel frequency response from the zero-padded first orientation of the channel impulse response, and correlate components of the channel frequency response corresponding to frequencies of TPS carriers with raw channel frequency response data of obtained from the TPS carriers. Frequency response components of multiple zero-padded orientations of the channel impulse response may be correlated with the raw TPS carrier data to identify an optimum orientation of the channel impulse response. Frequency response components of subsequent zero-padded orientations may be iteratively computed from components of preceding orientations.

According to various embodiments, apparatus and methods disclosed herein include computing phase error of a received signal based on an estimate of a first component (e.g., in-phase component) of a transmitted signal and an analytic representation of the estimate of the first component of the transmitted signal. The analytic representation of the estimate of the first component of the transmitted signal may represent an estimate of a second component (e.g., quadrature phase component) of the transmitted signal. The analytic representation of the estimated first component may be computed using at least one of a Hilbert transform or Fourier transform on the estimated first component of the transmitted signal.

According to various embodiments, devices and methods disclosed herein include performing, using a processor, a linear operation on a first plurality of channel frequency responses and a plurality of corresponding predictor coefficients to estimate a new channel frequency response. Each of the plurality of corresponding predictor coefficients may be updated based on an error value and a second plurality of channel frequency responses to obtain an updated predictor coefficient. The error value may be computed based on an estimated current channel frequency response and a predicted current channel frequency response. The new channel frequency response may be used to equalize a received modulated signal including a single-carrier modulated signal, e.g., a signal modulated using a vestigial sideband modulation scheme, or a quadrature amplitude modulation scheme.

Mixed mode constellation mapping to map a data block to a block of sub-carriers based on a configurable set of one or more constellation mapping schemes, and corresponding mixed mode least likelihood ratio (LLR) de-mapping based on the configurable set of one or more modulation schemes. The set may be configurable to include multiple modulation schemes to provide to a SEvSNR measure that is a non-weighted or weighted average of SEvSNR measures of the multiple modulation schemes. Mixed mode constellation mapping may be useful be configurable to control spectral efficiency versus SNR (SEvSNR) over a range of SNR with relatively fine SNR granularity, and may be configurable to control SEvSNR over a range of SNR at a fixed FEC code rate, which may include a highest available or highest permitted code rate.
