A method for reducing the interference of pulse-shaped interference signals in an OFDM-based data transmission of a multi-carrier frequency signal received by a receiver with modulated data associated with individual carrier frequencies and superimposed pulse-shaped interference signals, whereby: a) the pulse-shaped interference signals in the modulated OFDM-based signal are detected in the receiver, b) for the suppression of a pulse-shaped interference signal in the receive signal, this is multiplied by a window function, c) the window function -considered in the time domain as a continuous function-is differentiable, d) the transmission signal multiplied by the window function is decoded after a transmission channel estimation and signal equalization, e) in a transmission channel estimate of the data associated with the individual carrier frequencies, a reliability value is assigned describing how credibly the received or estimated data are, and f) the reliability value for those data associated with the carrier frequencies affected by a pulse interference signal is set to zero before decoding in the receiver, characterized in that a filter bank pulse blanking method FBPB is provided, whereby: - a sampled receive signal (r) is supplied to a blanking unit for frequency-selective pulse blanking, which comprises an analysis filter bank with M subbands, a module for frequency-selective sub-band pulse blanking connected with the analysis filter bank and a synthesis filter bank connected with the module, which reassembles the signal, - the analysis filter bank, which divides frequency-selectively the receive signal (r) into a plurality of sub-bands is used before an OFDM windowing, which is connected with the exit of the blanking mitigation unit, such that by the subband dividing Pulse Blanking is applied subband-selective and adapted to both the OFDM-demodulation and the channel-decoding, - the detection of a disturbance in a detection unit connected with the analysis filter bank takes place subband-selectively in the subbands, - a blanking mitigation unit, connected with the module for frequency-selective sub-band pulse blanking, for adaptation to introduced interference by pulse blanking and an inter-carrier interference ICI cancellation unit, connected with the blanking mitigation unit, for elimination the introduced interference is provided by pulse blanking. a) the pulse-shaped interference signals in the modulated OFDM-based signal are detected in the receiver, b) for the suppression of a pulse-shaped interference signal in the receive signal, this is multiplied by a window function, c) the window function -considered in the time domain as a continuous function-is differentiable, d) the transmission signal multiplied by the window function is decoded after a transmission channel estimation and signal equalization, e) in a transmission channel estimate of the data associated with the individual carrier frequencies, a reliability value is assigned describing how credibly the received or estimated data are, and f) the reliability value for those data associated with the carrier frequencies affected by a pulse interference signal is set to zero before decoding in the receiver, - a sampled receive signal (r) is supplied to a blanking unit for frequency-selective pulse blanking, which comprises an analysis filter bank with M subbands, a module for frequency-selective sub-band pulse blanking connected with the analysis filter bank and a synthesis filter bank connected with the module, which reassembles the signal, - the analysis filter bank, which divides frequency-selectively the receive signal (r) into a plurality of sub-bands is used before an OFDM windowing, which is connected with the exit of the blanking mitigation unit, such that by the subband dividing Pulse Blanking is applied subband-selective and adapted to both the OFDM-demodulation and the channel-decoding, - the detection of a disturbance in a detection unit connected with the analysis filter bank takes place subband-selectively in the subbands, - a blanking mitigation unit, connected with the module for frequency-selective sub-band pulse blanking, for adaptation to introduced interference by pulse blanking and an inter-carrier interference ICI cancellation unit, connected with the blanking mitigation unit, for elimination the introduced interference is provided by pulse blanking.
