A communication terminal for communicating with a base device by frequency and/or time division multiplexing is described. The communication terminal may be configured to transmit and/or receive signals to and/or from the base device using any of a plurality of numerology types. Furthermore, the communication terminal may be configured to communicate with the base device using a default one of the numerology types and receive a configuration word from the base device. The communication device may further be configured to determine in dependence on the default one of the numerology types and the configuration word a secondary numerology type. The communication device may additionally be configured to communicate with the base device using the secondary numerology type when the secondary numerology type is activated.

The techniques described herein relate to methods, apparatus, and computer readable media configured to decode modulated data. A modulated signal is received. A format of the modulated signal is determined, wherein the format can include a first format comprising a first type of modulated signal, or a second format comprising the first type of modulated signal and a second type of modulated signal that is different than the first type. The modulated signal is decoded by determining a frequency shift amount based on the format of the modulated signal, shifting a frequency band of the first type of modulated signal from an original position to a shifted position, thereby shifting a center frequency of the first type of modulated signal by the frequency shift amount, and filtering, based on the format of the modulated signal, signals outside of the frequency band of the shifted first type of modulated signal.

The present invention discloses a modulation method and a modulation apparatus applicable to an OvXDM system, and an OvXDM system. On the one hand, an initial envelope waveform is virtually cut off, and a modulation-domain shift interval is calculated by using a virtual cutoff width of the initial envelope waveform, such that a symbol width obtained after modulation becomes smaller, and a transmission rate is improved; on the other hand, because the initial envelope waveform is virtually cut off but not really cut off, shifting and superimposition are still performed on an initial envelope waveform with tailing, such that the waveform still retains a good performance, such as a relatively narrow width and relatively fast side lobe attenuation, in a corresponding domain. Therefore, in the present invention, the good performance of the waveform is retained in the corresponding domain while the transmission rate is increased.

A wireless communication device that includes an antenna module, a first communication circuit and a second communication circuit is provided. The first communication circuit performs communication by using a first communication protocol and transmits a test signal via the antenna module. The second communication circuit performs communication by using a second communication protocol and receives the test signal to calculate an isolation index based on an actual received power thereof. The second communication circuit determines that the antenna module includes two antennas when the isolation index is smaller than a threshold value to operate the first and the second communication circuits under a dual-antenna operation mode. The second communication circuit determines that the antenna module includes one antenna when the isolation index is not smaller than the threshold value to operate the first and the second communication circuits under a shared-antenna operation mode.
