Techniques for minimum-mean-square-error (MMSE) channel estimator using channel-dependent composite subcarriers and combined pilots reduce computational complexity and memory usage while still achieving near optimum performance. A set of interpolation filters, that are pre-calculated for different radio propagation environments, e.g., channel state information, are stored in look up tables at the receiver and used to interpolate channel estimates for combined pilots to obtain channel estimates for individual subcarriers.

The present disclosure discloses a signal sending method and device. The method includes: receiving, by a base station, an uplink pilot signal sent by authorized user equipment, and determining a direction vector parameter and a first channel fading parameter of a channel calculating, according to the direction vector parameter and the first channel fading parameter, a first signal beamformer parameter, determining a transmission area of an artificial noise signal according to the direction vector parameter, and calculating a second signal beamformer parameter; and processing a to-be-transmitted signal by using the first signal beamformer parameter and the second signal beamformer parameter, and transmitting the processed signal. In this way, in a non-target direction, energy leakage of the secrecy signal to the authorized user equipment is relatively small, and transmitted artificial noise signals are concentrated in an area with a relatively high secrecy signal leakage risk.

The method comprises: a terminal device determining, in a first time-domain resource unit, a plurality of second time-domain resource units for sending a sounding reference signal (SRS) of the terminal device; the terminal device determining, according to a frequency hopping pattern of the terminal device, a target resource for sending the SRS on the plurality of second time-domain resource units; and the terminal device sending, according to the target resource, the SRS to a network device. The present invention reduces the interference of SRS signals between different terminal devices, and also avoids the occurrence of a continuous strong interference situation between terminal devices.

A wireless device receives a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message triggering a first active bandwidth part (BWP) switching of a first cell. Based on the triggering the first active BWP switching during a second active BWP switching of a second cell, the first active BWP switching is delayed until the second active BWP switching is completed.

A WLAN AP includes an array of antennas, a transceiver and a processor. The transceiver is configured to transmit via the array of antennas downlink packets to WLAN STAs, and to receive uplink packets from the STAs. The processor is coupled to the transceiver and is configured to send a request to a plurality of the STAs to transmit a respective plurality of channel-sounding packets corresponding to the plurality of STAs, to receive the plurality of channel-sounding packets from the plurality of STAs in response to the request, to compute, based on the received plurality of channel-sounding packets, a beamforming matrix that defines subsequent transmission beams aimed toward at least a subset of the plurality of STAs, and to transmit one or more downlink data packets to one or more of the STAs via the array of antennas, in accordance with the beamforming matrix.

An integrated circuit includes first and second bus terminals, a pass-gate transistor, first and rising time accelerator (RTA) control circuits, and first and second falling time accelerator (FTA) control circuits. The pass-gate transistor couples between the first and second bus terminals. The first RTA control circuit couples to the first bus terminal, detects a rising edge on the first bus terminal, and accelerates the rising edge on the first bus terminal. The first FTA control circuit couples to the first bus terminal, detects a falling edge on the first bus terminal having a slope below a threshold, and accelerates the falling edge on the first bus terminal. The second RTA and FTA control circuits function similar to the first RTA and FTA control circuits but with respect to the second bus terminal.

An EVM measurement value is appropriately determined while CPE/ICI correction is taken into account. In a measurement apparatus (300), an EVM measurer (305) measures a modulation quality of a signal transmitted from a transmission apparatus. An EVM determiner (306) determines whether or not the measurement value of the modulation quality is equal to or less than a first requirement value, in a case where correction relating to a phase noise of the transmission apparatus is necessary in a reception apparatus. The first requirement value herein is higher than a second requirement value used in the determination of the measurement value in a case where the correction relating to the phase noise of the transmission apparatus is unnecessary in the reception apparatus.
