abstract = "Time-frequency warped waveform is a novel type of well-contained waveform composed of raised cosine (RC) pulses with roll-off factors profile customized for spectrally efficient signal containment. The waveform is suited for massive machine-type communication (mMTC), and Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications. The paper is a follow-up to the original work of time-frequency warped waveforms; here, we are proposing a warping function suited for length-independent symbols, which is missing from the previous work. The paper proposes the design steps starting from a piecewise warping function with parts of straight segments and other curved parts. A maximum Out-of-band leakage is used as a criterion to determine the warping function parameters. The roll-off factors profile determined in the previous study is used as a minimum bound for the leakage limits. Gains are presented over Windowed Zero-tail Discrete Fourier Transform-spread-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (ZT-DFT-s-OFDM) in the simulations section.",
