Time-division multiplexing for cellular dual connectivity
A cellular communication device is configured to use Non-Standalone Architecture (NSA) for communicating with a cellular communication network using 4.sup.th-Generation (4G) Long-Term Evolution (LTE) and 5.sup.th-Generation (5G) New Radio (NR) radio access technologies. In NSA mode, the device may receive separate transmit power control commands for LTE and NR transmissions, respectively. In some situations, the cellular communication device may be commanded to use LTE and NR transmit powers that when combined would exceed regulatory limits or performance limits. In these situations, LTE and NR uplink transmissions are scheduled to implement time-division multiplexing, so that the LTE and NR uplink transmissions occur during different time intervals rather than concurrently.

MULTI-USER MULTIPLEXING OF ORTHOGONAL TIME FREQUENCY SPACE SIGNALS
A method for performing downlink transmissions from a transmitting device to multiple user devices using transmission resources from a multi-dimensional grid of resources is described. The method includes logically partitioning the transmission resources into multiple segments, assigning, to a given user device of the multiple user devices, transmission resources of one or more of the multiple segments, and performing, using at least some of the assigned transmission resources for the given user device, a downlink transmission using an orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) transformation on data or signals to be transmitted to the given user device.

Systems and methods for adaptive averaging in frequency domain equalization systems
An example system comprises a first antenna and a modem. The first antenna is configured to receive a signal from a transmitting radio frequency unit. The signal includes data and a known sequence. The modem is configured to retrieve the known sequence from the signal, transform the known sequence and the data into a frequency domain, calculate averages of groups of neighboring frequency points in the frequency domain to reduce the effect of nonlinear noise in the signal, the neighboring frequency points corresponding to the preamble in the frequency domain, compare the calculated averages to an expected frequency response in the frequency domain, determine a correction filter to apply to the data based on the comparison, apply the correction filter on the data in the frequency domain to create corrected data, transform the corrected data from the frequency domain to the time domain, and provide the data.
Mechanisms to handle DL (downlink) control and data channels with different numerologies in NR (new radio)
Techniques discussed herein can facilitate handling of DL (Downlink) control and data channels having different numerologies in NR (New Radio). One example embodiment comprises an apparatus employable by a UE (User Equipment) configured to generate a report comprising capability information associated with the UE, wherein the capability information indicates whether the UE supports multiplexing of multiple numerologies within a common symbol in a FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing)-based manner; process first higher layer signaling that configures one or more control resource sets of a NR (New Radio) PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel), wherein the one or more control resource sets are associated with one or more numerologies in accordance with the UE capability information; and demodulate a NR PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel) from a resource distinct from resources of the NR PDCCH.

Use of vectoring and time- and/or frequency—division multiple access in a multi-user connection
A multi-line digital transceiver configured to use digital signal vectoring in a manner that causes effects of crosstalk between distinct groups of subscriber lines to be effectively mitigated, without directly attempting to mitigate effects of crosstalk within any one of those distinct groups. In an example embodiment, effects of crosstalk within each of the distinct groups can be mitigated indirectly using an appropriate T/FDMA schedule, according to which, during a given symbol period, a given resource block of any of the distinct groups can carry data corresponding to a single respective subscriber. A precoder (postcoder) matrix for the digital signal vectoring can be generated using block-diagonalization techniques appropriately constrained, e.g., using the groups' definitions, aggregate-transmit-power restrictions, etc. In various embodiments, the disclosed digital signal vectoring can be used on the downlink or on the uplink, or both.
