  The forthcoming communication systems are advancing towards improved
flexibility in various aspects. Improved flexibility is crucial to cater
diverse service requirements. This letter proposes a novel waveform design
scheme that exploits axis warping to enable peaceful coexistence of different
pulse shapes. A warping transform manipulates the lattice samples non-uniformly
and provides flexibility to handle the time-frequency occupancy of a signal.
The proposed approach enables the utilization of flexible pulse shapes in a
quasi-orthogonal manner and increases the spectral efficiency. In addition, the
rectangular resource block structure, which assists an efficient resource
allocation, is preserved with the warped waveform design as well.
