Methods, systems and device for achieving synchronization in an orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) signal receiver are described. An exemplary signal reception technique includes receiving an OTFS modulated wireless signal comprising pilot signal transmissions interspersed with data transmissions, calculating autocorrelation of the wireless signal using the wireless signal and a delayed version of the wireless signal that is delayed by a pre-determined delay, thereby generating an autocorrelation output, processing the autocorrelation filter through a moving average filter to produce a fine timing signal. Another exemplary signal reception technique includes receiving an OTFS modulated wireless signal comprising pilot signal transmissions interspersed with data transmissions, performing an initial automatic gain correction of the received OTFS wireless signal by peak detection and using clipping information, performing coarse automatic gain correction on results of a received and initial automatic gain control (AGC)-corrected signal.

A method and apparatus for allocating and processing sequences in a communication system is disclosed. The method includes: dividing sequences in a sequence group into multiple sub-groups, each sub-group corresponding to its own mode of occupying time frequency resources; selecting sequences from a candidate sequence collection corresponding to each sub-group to form the sequences in the sub-group by: the sequences in a sub-group i in a sequence group k being composed of n sequences in the candidate sequence collection, the n sequences making a |r.sub.i/N.sub.i−c.sub.k/N.sub.p.sub.1| or |(r.sub.i/N.sub.i−c.sub.k/N.sub.p.sub.1) modu m.sub.k,i| function value the smallest, second smallest, till the n.sup.th smallest respectively; allocating the sequence group to cells, users or channels. It prevents the sequences highly correlated with the sequences of a specific length from appearing in other sequence groups, thus reducing interference, avoiding the trouble of storing the lists of massive sequence groups.

A receiving device includes an equalization processor including multiple delay equalizers. The equalization processor is configured to: obtain a first error between an output of one specific tap in the multiple delay equalizers and a predetermined reference value, and calculate a first weight with which the first error is minimized; cause a calculation result of the first weight to be reflected in all taps in the multiple delay equalizers except the specific tap, obtain a second error between outputs of all taps in the multiple delay equalizers and the predetermined reference value, and calculate a second weight with which the second error is minimized; and update coefficients of all taps in the multiple delay equalizers at the same timing using the calculation result of the first weight and a calculation result of the second weight, and calculate an output of the equalization processor.

Channel state information (CSI) operations are disclosed with regard to elevation beamforming (EB)/full dimension (FD) multiple input, multiple output (ED/FD-MIMO) operations. With CSI processing associated with multiple CSI-reference signal (CSI-RS) resources, ambiguities may arise in determining the CSI reporting type and rank. CSI reporting type may be determined using a last reported beam selection indicator (BI) or, in the absence of a BI, may be determined according to a predefined rule. When rank and BI are reported separately and rank is absent, user equipment may determine a default reference rank for CSI reporting based on either or both of previously reported rank or BI. When rank and BI are jointly reported, encoding schemes with fixed bitwidths determined based on either CSI-RS processes or resources may be used to enhance decoding. CSI-RS antenna ports, processes, or resources may also be used in determining application of CSI processing relaxation.
