Example implementations relate to a method for synchronizing a specific node connected to a plurality of other nodes. The method comprises receiving a respective synchronization quality value for a transmitting other node. The method also comprises measuring a respective propagation medium quality value with the transmitting other node. The method further comprises updating a specific synchronization reference of the specific node, whereby the updating comprises assigning to a respective contribution of the transmitting other node a respective weight of the transmitting other node, the respective weight being a function of the respective synchronization quality value of the transmitting other node and of the respective propagation medium quality value with the transmitting other node. The method also comprises revising a specific synchronization quality value and emitting to a receiving other node the revised specific synchronization quality value.

Embodiments include devices and methods for generating a preamble symbol and also transmitting and receiving a signal comprising the preamble symbol. It is proposed a preamble symbol which achieves a robust and simple frame detection and synchronization, quick and reliable detection of embedded signaling data at low complexity and with a low Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR). The proposed preamble symbol has three parts, denoted front part, central part and back part. The front part and the back parts comprise a similar correlation sequence which is used for preamble detection, coarse time synchronization and fractional frequency error estimation. While the central part comprises consecutive blocks of samples comprising a predetermined reference information and signaling data which are used for coarse frequency synchronization and conveying data.

Embodiments include digital signal processing units, a transmitting device for a wireless communication system and methods of processing a composite time domain signal having a plurality of parallel and independent signals that collectively form a parallel communication. It is proposed a new waveform configuration suitable for 5G and that is able to reduce out-of-band (OOB) emissions which are received on a first time domain signal associated to a first sub-band where the OOB emissions originate from an OFDM time domain signal associated with a second sub-band adjacent to the first sub-band. The proposed solution is partly based on filtered-OFDM with the exception that sub-band filtering is not performed on all the samples of the stream of OFDM symbols. Instead, filtering is performed only, for each OFDM time domain signal, where transition occurs between consecutive OFDM symbols.

Method and device for forming DFT-spread OFDM symbol including data and pilots

The invention concerns multi-carrier based digital telecommunication systems where the channel is used to transport several data streams according to the frequency division multiple access scheme. The proposed method concerns a mapping of data on physical resource in a transmission system where data of elementary streams is distributed over several physical resource blocks, and within each resource block in order to get data from a plurality of elementary streams on at least one sub-carrier and at least a symbol time of each physical resource block. This allows to achieve a good diversity of the allocation of the different streams, leading to the advantage, among others, that poor transmission conditions affecting a particular sub-carrier or a particular time duration, will not concentrate its effects on a particular stream.
