The present disclosure provides self-decodable redundancy versions for a systematic code. An apparatus for wireless communications includes at least one processor coupled with a memory and comprising encoder circuitry configured to encode a set of information bits using a systematic code to generate an encoded bit stream with information bits and parity bits, and bit ordering circuitry configured to re-order bits in the encoded bit stream to distribute the information bits and the parity bits. The apparatus includes a transmitter configured to transmit the re-ordered bits in accordance with a radio technology via one or more antenna elements situated proximate the receiver.

Communication techniques with self-decodable redundancy versions (RVs) using systematic codes

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques generally provide for spatially coupled multiple-in multiple-out (MIMO) signaling for a single codeword across multiple layers. A transmitting device may transmit, via multiple time-frequency resources using multiple spatial layers, a set of code blocks associated with a codeword. At a first time-frequency resource, each code block of a first subset of the set of code blocks may be mapped to a respective transmission layer, and at a second time-frequency resource, each code block of a second subset of the set of code blocks may be mapped to a respective transmission layer, where the second set of code blocks is staggered from the first set of code blocks. By staggering code blocks across multiple time-frequency resources, a receiving wireless device may cancel out interference of one or more previously decoded code blocks.

Techniques for spatially coupled multiple-input multiple-output signaling

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for a transmitter (e.g., a user equipment (UE) or base station) and receiver (e.g., a UE or base station) to transmit and receive data packets that are encoded according to an outer coding technique. The outer coding technique may provide for data bits and parity bits to be included in a single physical layer transmission. In some cases, data packets (e.g., data bits) may be segmented into multiple subpackets, and coding may be performed across different subpackets of different data packets (e.g., in a diagonal coding pattern). In some examples, each transmission in the physical layer may contain both data subpackets and parity subpackets, which may balance an input and an output load of a buffer (e.g., a layer two (L2) decoding buffer at the receiver) during decoding.

Outer coding techniques in wireless communications

A network entity configures a synchronization signal block (SSB) using SSB resources that convey a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) within an SSB resource area of a resource grid bounded in time by a first configured integer number of time units and bounded in frequency by a second configured integer number of physical channels. A product of the first configured integer number and the second configured integer number is a predetermined constant value, each symbol of the SSB has an equal number of resource elements (REs), and all REs in the each symbol of the SSB, except REs within a frequency guard band between any two of the PSS, the SSS, and the PBCH in the each symbol of the SSB, have non-zero values. A user equipment receives the SSB in the SSB resources as a beamformed SSB.

Primary synchronization signal design

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. Some aspects more specifically provide procedures and configurations used to perform, at a transmitter, probabilistic amplitude shaping (PAS) of quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) communications using non-binary polar coding (NBPC). NBPC differs from binary polar coding (BPC) in that BPC uses a binary-input channel whereas NBPC uses a non-binary input channel. For example, while BPC uses a log likelihood ratio (LLR) with a single value corresponding to a given bit to be shaped, NBPC may use a probability mass function (PMF) to define or represent amplitude shaping target values. As another example, aspects use non-binary transformations, which reduce the number of passes to shape q bits from q passes (for BPC) to 1 pass (for NBPC).

Non-binary polar codes for probabilistic amplitude shaping

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) generates multiple systematic bits for a message, where the systematic bits are nonuniformly distributed over a time period such that a first bit value has a first probability of occurrence during the time period and a second bit value has a second probability that is greater than the first probability of the occurrence. The UE modulates the systematic bits according to an asymmetric modulation rule such that the first bit value corresponds to a first constellation point on a constellation graph and the second bit value corresponds to a second constellation point that is relatively closer to a center of the constellation graph than the first constellation point based on the second probability being greater than the first probability. The UE transmits the message including systematic bits modulated according to the asymmetric modulation rule.

Communicating nonuniform sources using systematic codes

Aspects presented herein provide a low PAPR waveform design based on resource spreading, pulse shaping, and/or dynamic MCS configuration, such that a transmitting wireless device may set IBO of its PA closer to the saturation point of the PA to enhance the PA efficiency. In one aspect, a first network node receives waveform information from a second network node, where the waveform information includes at least one of: one or more first parameters associated with a first waveform type or one or more second parameters associated with a second waveform type. The first network node processes data based on the one or more first parameters associated with the first waveform type or the one or more second parameters associated with the second waveform type. The first network node transmits a waveform based on the processed data, where the waveform is the first waveform type or the second waveform type.

Low peak-to-average power ratio waveform generation

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some examples, a transmitting device associated with one or more non-coherent demodulation reference signal ports may transmit data including a phase change estimation reference signal with multiple reference signal groups. In some examples, multiple different phase change estimation reference signal ports may be code-division multiplexed to transmit the phase change estimation reference signal in the same set of reference signal groups using a different orthogonal cover code for each phase change estimation reference signal port. In some other examples, the different phase change estimation reference signal ports may be used for transmitting the phase change estimation reference signal in the different time-division multiplexed sets of reference signal groups. In such cases, by assigning two phase change estimation reference signal ports to two TDM sets, the two phase change estimation reference signal ports may be time-division multiplexed.

Multiple-port phase change estimation reference signals for discrete Fourier transform-spread orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM) transmissions

Dynamic frozen polar codes for probabilistic shaping are described. An apparatus is configured to map transmission bits to an EC-polar code. The transmission bits include first data bits, second data bits, EC bits, and shaping bits. The first data bits correspond to frozen bit locations of the EC-polar code, the shaping bits correspond to information bit locations of the EC-polar code, and the EC bits and the second bits both correspond to remaining locations of the EC-polar code. The apparatus is configured to shape the transmission bits to shaped transmission bits based on the mapping, the EC-polar code, and an addition operation on the transmission bits including the EC bits and the second data bits. The apparatus is configured to transmit, to a receiver network device, the shaped transmission bits.

Dynamic frozen polar codes for probabilistic shaping

In certain scenarios, resource preemption may occur. A user equipment (UE) is configured to monitor for a preemption indication based on a specific downlink configuration. This configuration provides information about whether preemption is identified within a data space in terms of resource blocks. The UE receives data transmissions from a base station at different times and a preemption indication in a group common physical downlink control channel. Based on this preemption indication and the downlink configuration, the UE determines if a portion of the shared downlink resources occupied by the initial data is preempted from use. If the resources are not preempted, the UE proceeds to decode the initial data.

Ultra-reliable low-latency communication indication channelization designs

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) and perform a filtering procedure on frequency-domain symbols of the DMRS to obtain a frequency-domain noise signal associated with the frequency-domain symbols. The UE may perform a spur detection procedure on the frequency-domain noise signal to detect one or more frequency spurs associated with the frequency-domain symbols. In addition, the UE may estimate a frequency of the frequency spurs. In some implementations, the UE may transmit information indicating spur parameters associated with the frequency spurs (e.g., including the estimated frequency) to a network entity. The UE may receive a control message indicating a rate matching pattern for subsequent communications, the rate matching pattern based on the spur parameters. The UE and the network entity may communicate according to the rate matching pattern.

Spur detection, estimation, and mitigation

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for transmissions with non-transparent precoder cycling. A network node generates a precoding matrix including a number of sub-matrices equal to a number of antenna groups. A first sub-matrix for a first antenna group is the same for each frequency domain resource unit of a frequency domain resource group. A phase of each subsequent sub-matrix for each subsequent antenna group is shifted to be orthogonal for each frequency domain resource unit. The network node applies the precoding matrix to both a data signal and a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) of a transmission for each frequency domain resource unit of the frequency domain resource group and transmits the precoded transmission via the antenna groups. A UE receives the transmission having non-transparent precoder cycling, estimates a channel of the transmission based on the precoding matrix, and demodulates the data signal based on the estimated channel.

RB/PRG-level precoder cycling based on virtual DMRS ports

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive an indication of an antenna port mapping from a network entity. The antenna port mapping may be between a tracking reference signal and a corresponding reference signal, the antenna port mapping indicating a mapping of a tracking reference signal port to a plurality of reference signal antenna ports associated with the corresponding reference signal. The UE may receive a tracking reference signal via the tracking reference signal port based on the antenna port mapping. The UE may perform a channel measurement procedure using the tracking reference signal based on the mapping.

Port association with multiple demodulation reference signal (DMRS) ports

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Techniques described herein provide for formulating single carrier waveforms into an orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) framework. To fit into the cyclic prefix OFDM (CP-OFDM) grid, a frequency domain fast Fourier transform (FFT) may be applied to the single carrier waveform, a bandwidth expansion and spectrum shaping may be applied to the output of the FFT and inverse FFT (IFFT) processing may be applied to the output of the bandwidth expansion and spectrum shaping. The output of the IFFT may then be represented in an OFDM compatible manner.

Techniques for cyclic prefix compatible formulation of single carrier waveforms

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be configured with a bundling factor, may first generate a codebook, and may then bundle a quantity of bits into a single bit according to the bundling factor (e.g., may compress the sequence of bits into a smaller, second set of bits, where each bit of the second set of bits represents a quantity of the sequence of bits equal to the bundling factor). The UE may support cross downlink control information (DCI) bundling, in which case each bundle of the sequence of bits may be based on the bundling factor, instead of being based on the DCI (e.g., a given bundle may include feedback bits corresponding to occasions of multiple grants).
