Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and devices for enabling transmission of a pattern of pilots in a reference signal in which some of the pilot symbols are transmitted on established pilot sub-carriers and other pilot symbols are transmitted offset from the established pilot sub-carriers. This transmission pattern of pilots allows beneficial results such as 1) maintaining a low peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in the pilot symbols and 2) reducing resource usage for the pilot symbols as the pilot symbols have a shorter symbol length.

Methods and apparatus for using short reference symbols with a frequency domain offset

A method and system are provided for scheduling data transmission in a Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) system. The MIMO system may comprise at least one MIMO transmitter and at least one MIMO receiver. Feedback from one or more receivers may be used by a transmitter to improve quality, capacity, and scheduling in MIMO communication systems. The method may include generating or receiving information pertaining to a MIMO channel metric and information pertaining to a Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) in respect of a transmitted signal; and sending a next transmission to a receiver using a MIMO mode selected in accordance with the information pertaining to the MIMO channel metric, and an adaptive coding and modulation selected in accordance with the information pertaining to the CQI.

Multi-user MIMO systems and methods

Methods and systems for physical layer network coding based on two-dimensional (2D) joint coding are described. In some methods, first and second packets are obtained. A set of one or more cross-packet check blocks is generated, where each cross-packet check block is generated based on a set of cross-packet bits including at least one bit from each of the first and second packets. At least one cross-packet check block is transmitted to a first communication node.

Methods and systems for network coding using cross-packet check blocks

Systems and methods are disclosed for providing H-ARQ transmissions in respect of a set of horizontal code blocks are combined in a code. Retransmissions contain vertical parity check blocks which are determined from verticals from the set of horizontal code blocks. Once all the vertical parity check blocks have been transmitted, a new set may be determined after performing interleaving upon either the content of the horizontal code blocks, in the case of non-systematic horizontal code blocks, or over the content of encoder input bits in the place of systematic horizontal code blocks. The interleaving may be bitwise or bit subset-wise. The retransmissions do not contain any of the original bits. In the decoder, soft decisions are produced, and nothing needs to be discarded; decoding will typically improve with each retransmission.

System and method for hybrid-ARQ

A reference signaling scheme is provided that is based on the use of a Zadoff Chu sequence with cyclic repetition, optionally code division multiplexing precoding, together with frequency domain spectral shaping (FDSS). A specific pulse shape design for the FDSS part of the reference signal scheme in some embodiments involves the use of a raised cosine pulse raised to the power of β. The new solution for generating reference signals has a Low peak average power ratio that matches the PAPR of SC-OQAM, good channel estimation performance, and the ability to implement CDM in the frequency domain to increase multiplexing gain.

System and method for generating reference signal with low peak average power ratio

Methods and systems for two-dimensional (2D) coding are described for broadcast, multicast or groupcast applications. Two or more information code blocks (CBs) are transmitted to a plurality of intended receiving nodes. One or more cross-CB check blocks are generated, each cross-CB check block being generated based on a set of cross-CB bits, the set of cross-CB bits including at least one bit selected from each of at least two of the information CBs. At least one cross-CB check block is transmitted to at least one of the intended receiving nodes.

Methods and devices utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML) for customization of a device specific air interface configuration in a wireless communication network are provided. An over the air information exchange to facilitate the training of one or more AI/ML modules involves the exchange of AI/ML capability information identifying whether a device supports AI/ML for optimization of the air interface.

Current frame structures in Long-Term Evolution (LTE) and New Radio (NR) place some restrictions on the symbols transmitted in the frame, e.g. restrictions related to the duration of each symbol. Embodiments are disclosed in which multi-carrier symbols and/or single-carrier symbol blocks have configurable parameters, such as configurable length and/or configurable location, thereby allowing for more flexibility in the scheduling and transmission of the symbols and/or symbol blocks. Some embodiments aim to implement the configurable parameters in a way that tries to reduce signaling overhead.

Systems and methods for configuring symbol and symbol block parameters in wireless communication

The present disclosure relates, in part, to non-terrestrial communication systems, and in some embodiments to the integration of terrestrial and non-terrestrial communication systems. Non-terrestrial communication systems can provide a more flexible communication system with extended wireless coverage range and enhanced service quality compared to conventional communication systems. A method representative of aspects of the present application includes receiving, by an apparatus connected in a first sub-system, from a radio access network, configuration information for performing a channel condition measurement on a second sub-system, reporting, by the apparatus to the radio access network, channel condition measurement of a downlink reference signal received from the second sub-system, transmitting, by the apparatus, a wireless transmission to the second sub-system responsive to the channel condition measurement meeting a predefined condition.

Terrestrial and non-terrestrial communication systems, apparatuses, and methods

In accordance with an embodiment, a method of operating a base station configured to communicate with at least one user device includes transmitting a reference signal to the at least one user device, receiving channel quality information from the at least one user device, and forming a beam based on the channel quality information received from the at least one user device.

Embodiments of the flexible frame structure include different parameters that are flexible, i.e. that are configurable. A non-exhaustive list of parameters that may be configurable include: length of the frame; length of a subframe (if a subframe is even defined); length of a slot and/or number of symbol blocks in a slot (if a slot is even defined); length of the CP and/or data portion in a symbol block, or ratio of CP to data portion, which may vary between symbol blocks; downlink/uplink switching gap length, etc.

In the systems and methods, a network node of the communication network is operative to transmit a learning schedule to a plurality of network nodes interconnected by a set of network links of the communication network. The network node receives from each of the plurality of network nodes a communication node record including network performance observations observed by that network node based on the learning schedule transmitted to that network node. Based on the received communication node records, the network node identifies a set of available network links from the set of network links and the set of available network nodes corresponding to the set of available network links.

An IACH includes the synchronization channel (SCH) and broadcast-control channel (BCH). A non-uniform SCH for all system bandwidths is provided, as well as scalable bandwidth BCH depending on system bandwidth. An initial access procedure is provided, as well as an access procedure.
