Numerous other aspects are described.

It is described a method of UWB-based communication between a mobile device (101, 401) and at least one peer device (102, 402a,b,c), the method comprising while the mobile device (101, 401) is in an idle mode: a synchronizing step (410) including that the mobile device (401) sends at least one synchronization message (418) without performing full Ranging cylce; the peer device (402) receiving the synchronization message (418); and the peer device (402) synchronizing with the mobile device (410) based on the received synchronization message (418); the method comprising while the mobile device (401) is in a non-idle mode: the mobile device starting a UWB-based DS-TWR session (425, 525, 526) with the synchronized peer device, in order to control the smart-device (402c, 502c) via the mobile device.

A reception-side apparatus includes: M receive antennas; and a processor configured to execute a first process of acquiring a first signal received from a first transmission-side apparatus from among signals simultaneously received from the N transmission-side apparatuses by receive diversity processing, and acquiring first data by demodulating and decoding the first signal. In the case of N>M, the processor acquires, for each of all patterns of a combination of a first signal, second signals from M-1 transmission-side apparatuses which are to be cancelled by receive diversity processing and third signals from N-M transmission-side apparatuses which are not to be cancelled by the receive diversity processing, a power ratio of power of the first signal relative to total power of the second and third signals based on a predetermined weight and a channel estimate of each signal, and selects a combination with the largest power ratio from among all the patterns.

A demodulation method and apparatus is disclosed that is for use on a modulated communication signal. The method includes receiving the modulated signal including a first set of complex symbols and at least one further set of complex symbols; applying a Forward Error Correction (FEC) decoding technique; applying a first phase estimation technique to the first set of symbols; applying a second phase estimation technique to the further set of symbols to determine phase information for the modulation signal using a first phase estimation means; and repeating in part using at least one further phase estimation means to identify the presence of phase rotation.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for adaptive modulo base selection for non-linear precoding. Aspects provide a method for wireless communications that can be performed by a base station (BS). The BS adaptively selects a modulo base for a data stream for at least one user equipment (UE) in a transmission to one or more UEs. The BS selects the modulo base based on one or more parameters. The BS transmits a signal for at least one UE of the one or more UEs to identify the selected modulo base. The BS performs the transmission to the one or more UEs. The UE receives the transmission from the BS and the signal for the identification of the selected modulo base. Based on the signal, the UE determines the modulo base for at least one data stream in the transmission and decodes the data stream using the modulo base.
