A transmitting apparatus is disclosed. The transmitting apparatus includes an encoder to perform channel encoding with respect to bits and generate a codeword, an interleaver to interleave the codeword, and a modulator to map the interleaved codeword onto a non-uniform constellation according to a modulation scheme, and the constellation may include constellation points defined based on various tables according to the modulation scheme.

This application provides a data transmission method and an apparatus. The method includes: obtaining, by user equipment, to-be-sent user data; performing, by the user equipment, channel encoding on the to-be-sent user data to obtain N sets of encoded data; performing, by the user equipment, codebook mapping on each of the N sets of encoded data by using a codebook, to obtain N sets of codebook-mapped data, where different sets of encoded data use codebooks that occupy mutually different non-zero physical REs, the non-zero physical RE means a non-zero waveform obtained after mapped data is mapped to a physical RE, and N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2; and sending, by the user equipment, the N sets of codebook-mapped data to a base station.

A base station transmits a layered data signal to multiple devices that are in close proximity to each other where the layered data signal includes at least first data on a first data layer directed to a first device and second data on a second data layer directed to a second device. The base station also transmits a single control message to both devices where the control message comprises location dependent control information directed to both devices. The control message also comprises data layer control information arranged in multiple fields where data layer control information in a field is associated with a device and allows the associated device to recover the data from a data layer assigned to the device.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and devices for multiple access downlink transmissions from a network side component to one or more User Equipment (UE) or multiple access uplink transmissions from two or more UEs to a network side component. In a downlink direction, a network side device generates, for each sub-carrier of the block of sub-carriers, a single constellation point from one or more bits of a multi-bit symbol, from each of multiple layers. In an uplink direction, each UE maps at least one bit from one or more layers of multi-bit symbols onto a subset of a block of sub-carriers. The two or more UEs collectively transmit on the block of sub-carriers.

In some embodiments of the invention, OFDM symbols are transmitted as a plurality of clusters. A cluster includes a plurality of OFDM sub-carriers in frequency, over a plurality of OFDM symbol durations in time. Each cluster includes data as well as pilot information as a reference signal for channel estimation. In some embodiments, a plurality of clusters collectively occupy the available sub-carrier set in the frequency domain that is used for transmission. In some embodiments of the invention data and/or pilots are spread within each cluster using code division multiplexing (CDM). In some embodiments pilots and data are separated by distributing data on a particular number of the plurality of OFDM symbol durations and pilots on a remainder of the OFDM symbol durations. CDM spreading can be performed in time and/or frequency directions.

Aspects of this disclosure relate to transmitting and/or receiving a frequency-shift keying signal including a packet that includes a preamble and a payload. The preamble has a first modulation index that has a smaller magnitude than a second modulation index of the payload. This can enhance frequency correction in a receive device that receives the packet.

A method for converting a conventional cellular network e.g. having nodes equipped with conventional modems operating in accordance with a cellular communication protocol e.g. LTE and storing first orthogonal sequences, into a private cellular network, including coupling an (e.g. external) device to only nodes sought for the private cellular network, the device storing second orthogonal sequences not hard-coded in the modems, the device storing a one-to-one correspondence enabling translation of each second orthogonal sequence, to one of the first sequences. at least when in a private network supporting mode, a device associated with a transmitting node sought for the private network, uses a processor to determine which first orthogonal sequence is being used, translate that sequence using the one-to-one correspondence into a second orthogonal sequence, and use the translated sequence to transmit a synchronization signal.

The signal transmission method includes: generating a single-wavelength optical carrier; splitting the single-wavelength optical carrier into N subcarriers having a same wavelength; generating a spreading code corresponding to each of the subcarriers to obtain N spreading codes, where a bandwidth of each of the spreading codes is less than or equal to a preset threshold; deserializing a to-be-transmitted data signal into N sub-data signals; modulating the N subcarriers based on the N sub-data signals and the N spreading codes, to obtain N modulation signals; and combining the N modulation signals into one combined signal, and outputting the combined signal.

An embodiment method of resource allocation for sparse code multiple access (SCMA) transmissions includes partitioning a resource block into a plurality of resource regions. The method also includes assigning the plurality of resource regions to respective device groups. The resource region assignments are then signaled to devices of the respective device groups.

The SCMA signals from one group of the respective device groups are asynchronous with respect to the SCMA signals from another group of the respective device groups.
