In the present invention, disclosed is a method for uplink multi-user transmission in a wireless communication system and an apparatus therefor. Specifically, a method for performing, by a station (STA), uplink (UL) multi-user (MU) transmission in a wireless communication system comprises the steps of: receiving, from an access point (AP), a trigger frame including information for UL MU transmission; and transmitting an UL MU PPDU on the basis of the information for UL MU transmission, wherein the trigger frame is a medium access control (MAC) frame, a MAC header of the trigger frame includes a type field and a subtype field, and the type of the trigger frame may be indicated by the type field and the subtype field.

A method and a device for transmitting and receiving PPDU on the basis of FDR in a wireless LAN system are presented. More particularly, an AP transmits a trigger frame to an STA. The AP transmits downlink (DL) PPDU to the STA on the basis of the AP trigger frame. The AP receives uplink (UL) PPDU from the STA on the basis of the trigger frame. The trigger frame includes a first common information field. The first common information field includes a trigger type field, a length field, and a bandwidth field. The length field comprises information on the length of the longest PPDU of the DL PPDU and the UL PPDU. The bandwidth field comprises information on the total bandwidth over which the DL PPDU and the UL PPDU are transmitted. The DL PPDU and the UL PPDU are transmitted and received on the basis of FDR.

The present disclosure relates to a communication technique for fusing, with an IoT technology, a 5G communication system for supporting a higher data transfer rate than a 4G system, and a system therefor. The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services, such as smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, health care, digital education, retail businesses, security and safety-related services, on the basis of 5G communication technologies and IoT-related technologies. Disclosed is a setting method for an efficient uplink signal transmission of a terminal in a case where a plurality of waveforms are supported to efficiently operate an uplink in a next generation mobile communication.

Provided are a method and apparatus for supporting beam-based cooperative communication for smoothly providing a service in a wireless communication system. The method, performed by a terminal, of supporting beam-based cooperative communication includes: receiving, from a base station, configuration information for measuring quality of a beam; receiving first reference signals regarding desired channels respectively corresponding to a plurality of transmission beams received from the base station, and second reference signals regarding interference channels respectively corresponding to a plurality of transmission beams that interfere with the plurality of transmission beams received from the base station; and measuring quality of a beam regarding the plurality of transmission beams received from the base station, based on the configuration information, the first reference signals, and the second reference signals.

Systems and/or methods for supporting communications at a reduced bandwidth with a full bandwidth network such as a long-term evolution (LTE) network may be disclosed. For example, inband assignments such as downlink assignments and/or uplink grants may be provided and/or received and transmissions may be monitored and/or decoded based on the inband assignment. Additionally, information (e.g. a definition or configuration) associated with an ePDCCH may be provided and/or received and ePDCCH resources may be monitored and/or decoded based on such information. An indication for support of a reduced bandwidth by the full bandwidth network may also be provided and/or received and control channels in the reduced or narrow bandwidth may be monitored and/or decoded based on the indication. A PRACH preamble and/or a multi-type subframe definition may also be provided and/or used for support of such a reduced bandwidth.

According to one or more embodiments of the disclosure, a particular networking device joins a ring network of networking devices that has a ring topology. The particular networking device monitors the ring network for a multicast frame used within the ring network to detect link failures. The particular networking device determines that a link in the ring network has failed, based on the particular networking device not receiving the multicast frame within a threshold amount of time. The particular networking device initiates repair of the ring network, when the particular networking device determines that the link in the ring network has failed.

Accordingly, there are disclosed herein active cables and methods that enable direct connection between different generations of network interface ports or ports supporting different standards. One illustrative embodiment is an active 1:N breakout cable that includes a unary end connector connected by electrical conductors to each of multiple split end connectors. The unary end connector is adapted to fit into a network interface port of a primary host device to provide output PAM4 electrical signals that convey a multi-lane outbound data stream to the primary host device and to accept input PAM4 electrical signals that convey multi-lane inbound data stream from the primary host device. Each of the split end connectors is adapted to fit into a network interface port of a secondary host device to provide output NRZ electrical signals that convey a split portion of the inbound data stream to that secondary host device and to accept input NRZ electrical signals that convey a split portion of the outbound data stream from that secondary host device.

Disclosed are a transmission device and a transmission method with which it is possible to prevent delays in data transmission and to minimize the increase in the number of bits necessary for the notification of a CC to be used, in cases where a CC to be used is added during communication employing carrier aggregation. When a component carrier is to be added to a component carrier set, a setting section provided in a base station: modifies a CIF table that defines the correspondence between code points, which are used as labels for the respective component carriers contained in the component carrier set, and the identification information of the respective component carriers; and assigns a vacant code point to the component carrier to be added, while keeping the correspondence between the code points and the component carrier identification information defined in the CIF table before modification.

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method and device for performing communication. The method comprises: determining a target transmission pattern from a set of candidate transmission patterns, wherein each of the candidate transmission patterns contains a DL transmission part and/or a UL transmission part, and the candidate transmission patterns differ from one another in terms of time durations of the respective DL transmission parts and/or the UL transmission parts; and performing communication between a network device and a terminal device by using the target transmission pattern.

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for a retransmission protocol that utilizes compressed feedback. Various implementations relate generally to a compressed feedback technique for hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ). Upon receiving a compressed feedback value, a sending device may generate a retransmission codeblock. The retransmission codeblock may be derived from multiple codeblocks in a set of codeblocks. A receiving device can use the retransmission codeblock to obtain any failed codeblock in the set of codeblocks based on all other previously decoded codeblocks in the set of codeblocks. Thus, the receiving device does not need to indicate which codeblock in the set failed, but only needs to send a compressed feedback value that indicates which sets of codeblocks have had a single codeblock failure.
