Claim Text:
1. A method by a transmitter component for enabling channel estimation for Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing (GFDM) signals in a network, the method comprising: generating, by a transmitter, GFDM signals including a plurality of pilot symbols and a plurality of data symbols, wherein the GFDM signals are generated using spectral-contained pulse shaping such that the GFDM signals include non-orthogonal subcarriers; allocating the pilot symbols over both frequency and time resources for a plurality of channels; transmitting, by the transmitter, the interference cancelled pilot symbols and the data symbols in the GFDM signals over the frequency and time resources, the interference cancelled pilot symbols and the data symbols of the GFDM signal being transmitted to the receiver.
