The present disclosure discloses a random access transmission method and a terminal. The method includes: obtaining a data scrambling parameter of a physical uplink shared channel PUSCH; and sending a random access message based on the data scrambling parameter, where the random access message corresponds to the PUSCH and a physical random access channel PRACH. In a random access process of a terminal in embodiments of the present disclosure, a random access message is sent on a random access resource based on a data scrambling parameter of a PUSCH. Correspondingly, a network device decodes the PUSCH on the random access resource based on the data scrambling parameter, to obtain the corresponding random access message.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may perform an operation to obtain one or more channel state information (CSI) resources (e.g., new resources) from a set of resources indicated by a CSI report configuration. For example, the UE may aggregate or separate respective resources of the set of resources to obtain one or more CSI resources. The operation may be performed based on a first number of antenna ports associated with each resource of the set of resources and a second number of antenna ports associated with a codebook configuration. Thus, performing the operation may result in the UE forming one or more CSI resources for measuring CSI on the one or more CSI resources. The UE may transmit a CSI report based on measuring the CSI for a set of reference signals received on the one or more CSI resources.

The gains with non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) for uplink data transmissions can be high when chosen codes are orthogonal. However, when codes are non-orthogonal, the gains can be low. NOMA can be used when there is more than one mobile device using the same resources. Since orthogonal codes cannot be possible for every length, codes which have low cross-correlation properties can be used. However, when there are a large number of mobile devices using the same resources, the cross-correlation between the codes can cause interference to the mobile devices. Reducing the gains of a NOMA system can reduce the overall throughput. Thus, transmitting data on the same resources in a NOMA can occur in spite of the interference to the UEs transmitting data on the same resources. Therefore, a non-orthogonal multiple access design for a 5G network can mitigate interference.

New sequences have been proposed and/or adopted for short Physical Uplink Control Channel communications between base stations and UEs. In an exemplary embodiment, a UE communicates with a base station based on sequence groups that include the new sequences, where the new sequences are allocated to different sequence groups based, at least in part, on correlations with other existing sequences included in individual sequence groups.

A method may include sending a contention resolution message for a random access procedure from a user equipment (UE) through a physical uplink channel in a wireless communication network, and sending a repetition of the contention resolution message from the UE through the physical uplink channel. The physical uplink channel may include a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). The method may further include selecting a preamble from a first preamble group corresponding to a capability of the UE to send the repetition of the contention resolution message, and sending the preamble from the UE. Selecting the preamble from the first preamble group may include selecting a preamble from a first preamble sub-group corresponding to the capability of the UE to send the repetition of the contention resolution message.

Methods are described allowing a vector signaling code to encode multi-level data without the significant alphabet size increase known to cause symbol dynamic range compression and thus increased noise susceptibility. By intentionally restricting the number of codewords used, good pin efficiency may be maintained along with improved system signal-to-noise ratio.
