Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a transmitter may determine a first modulation order for a first layer of a communication and a second modulation order for a second layer of the communication, wherein the first modulation order and the second modulation order are different; interleave bits for one or more of the first layer or the second layer based at least in part on the first modulation order and the second modulation order; and transmit the interleaved bits via the one or more of the first layer or the second layer. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a communication method and a communication device. There is provided a communication method implemented at a first device. The method comprises: determining quantities of information of units in control information; mapping, based on the quantities of information of the units and reliabilities of subchannels for carrying the control information, the units to a subchannels; and transmitting the control information to a second device via the subchannel. There is also provided a communication method implemented at a second device, as well as corresponding first device and second device.

Techniques are described for wireless communication. One method includes determining, based at least in part on a number of downlink component carriers (CCs) scheduled for a user equipment (UE) during a reporting interval, a number of bits to be included in a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) acknowledgement/non-acknowledgement (ACK/NAK) payload for the reporting interval; and selecting, based at least in part on the determined number of bits, a format of the PUCCH ACK/NAK payload.

An apparatus and method for multiplexing signals using layered division multiplexing are disclosed. A signal multiplexing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a combiner configured to combine a core layer signal and an enhanced layer signal at different power levels, and a time interleaver configured to perform interleaving applied to both the core layer signal and the enhanced layer signal.

Techniques for signaling varied modulation and coding schemes for wireless communication are discussed. A method of wireless communication may comprise receiving, by a user equipment (UE), an indication to apply a modulation order cap to determine a first modulation and coding scheme for transmission of uplink control information different from a second modulation and coding scheme for transmission of data. The method may further comprise transmitting the uplink control information using the first modulation and coding scheme, wherein the first modulation and coding scheme is determined based, at least in part, on the received indication to apply the modulation order cap.

A base station may make more efficient use of resources by transmitting data in a control region of a slot in addition to a data region. In order to avoid performance loss, the base station may adjust the data transmission in the control region in comparison to a data transmission in a data region and may signal an indication to a UE to assist the UE in receiving the data transmission in the control region. An apparatus for wireless communication at the UE receives the indication from the base station regarding the data transmission in the control region and uses the indication to perform rate matching or demodulation of the data transmission in the control region. The indication may indicate any of a different MCS/rank/TPR, a reduced MCS/rank/TPR, an MCS/rank/TPR delta, a control span for a group of UEs, and a starting symbol for the data transmission. The indication may also indicate that there is no data transmitted on resources in the control region.

A transmitting node can puncture bundles of data for a first service in a transmission for a second service. The first service has lower latency requirements than the second service. The transmitting node determines data for a first service will be transmitted during a time period when data for a second service will be transmitted, and determines transmission or reception conditions. Based on the determined transmission or reception conditions, the transmitting node determines to adjust the transmission of the first service. The transmitting node then transmits during the time period the data for the first service while data for the second service is transmitted during the time period, wherein the transmission includes an original set of data for the first service and at least one repetition of the original set of data for the first service.

A wireless network is provided that includes a base station and subscriber stations that communicate with the base station using radio frequency (RF) time division duplex (TDD) signaling. The base station may establish medium access control (MAC) connections with each station. The base station monitors communications with the stations and, in accordance, assigns stations or MAC connections to modulation groups. The base station transmits signals on MAC connections or to stations in a modulation group in adjacent TDD slots within a TDD frame. The base station may receive access requests from the stations, evaluate traffic requirements for the stations, and determine a longest downlink portion for the stations. The base station then allocates downlink and uplink portions of a TDD frame according to the length of the longest downlink portion.

Provided are a data transmitting or receiving method and device for dual Transport Blocks (TBs), a transmitter and a receiver. Data to be transmitted is divided into two portions, where transport blocks TB1 and TB2 are generated respectively according to a corresponding predetermined Modulation Coding Scheme (MCS) for each portion. The TB1 is modulated into an amplitude weighted complex symbol sequence S1, and the TB2 is modulated into an amplitude weighted complex symbol sequence S2. The S1 and the S2 are superposed to generate a complex symbol sequence S3 corresponding to a new TB, where the complex symbol sequence S3 corresponding to the new TB possesses Gray properties. The new TB is transmitted to a receiver.
