The present technology relates to a reception device, a reception method, a transmission device, and a transmission method, which are capable of implementing a high transmission rate by effectively utilizing a frequency band in channel bonding. A reception device receives a plurality of divisional streams obtained by distributing baseband (BB) frames of a BB stream which is as a stream of BB frames to a plurality of data slices and reconstructs an original BB stream on the basis of reconfiguration information which is in included in transmission control information and used for reconstructing the original BB stream from the plurality of divisional streams transmitted through the non-neighboring frequency bands when the plurality of divisional streams are transmitted through non-neighboring frequency bands. The present technology can be applied to, for example, channel bonding such as PLP bundling.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for reference signal sequence determination. One apparatus includes a processor that determines an RS sequence for transmission.

Accordingly, embodiments herein disclose a method for signal synchronization in orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) based Narrow Band-Internet of Thing (NB-IoT) system. The method includes generating a New Radio-Narrowband Primary Synchronization Signal (NR-NPSS). Further, the method includes mapping each Zadoff-chu sequence of 14 Zadoff-chu sequences of the NR-NPSS to resource elements of each OFDM symbol of 14 OFDM symbols in an NR-NPSS subframe. Further, the method includes transmitting the NR-NPSS subframe comprising the mapped NR-NPSS to at least one User Equipment (UE) (200), receiving the NR-NPSS subframe comprising the transmitted NR-NPSS by a base station (100), generating a reference NR-NPSS, mapping each of the 14 Zadoff-chu sequences of the NR-NPSS to resource elements of each OFDM symbol of 14 OFDM symbols in an NR-NPSS subframe, and detecting the NR-NPSS from the received NR-NPSS subframe using the reference NR-NPSS to obtain the time and frequency synchronization in the NB-IoT system.

A modulation apparatus capable of performing highly efficient multiplexing of pilot signals used for equalization and estimation of phase noises for LOS-MIMO (Line Of Sight-Multiple Input Multiple Output) using a single-carrier signal is provided. The modulation apparatus (10) includes means (11) for transforming a time-domain pilot signal sequence into a first number of frequency-domain signals corresponding to a sequence length of the pilot signal sequence, means (12) for mapping the first number of frequency-domain signals at the same number of subcarrier intervals as a number of transmitting antennas of the modulation apparatus by shifting mapping positions of heads of the frequency-domain signals one after another by an amount equivalent to one subcarrier so that the frequency-domain signals do not overlap each other, and means (13) for transforming the mapped frequency-domain signals into time-domain signals.

A signal sending method, a signal receiving method, and a device are provided. A part that is of a first signal and that is carried on the k.sup.th subcarrier in the i.sup.th subcarrier group in N subcarrier groups is x.sub.i,n.sub.id(k), and a sequence {s.sub.i,n.sub.id(k)} related to x.sub.i,n.sub.id(k) is one of enumerated sequences. The enumerated sequences are sequences with relatively good cross-correlation. Therefore, for two subcarrier groups, provided that selected {s.sub.i,n.sub.id(k)} is two of the enumerated sequences, cross-correlation between signals carried in the two subcarrier groups can be ensured to be relatively good, thereby reducing interference between the signals and improving channel estimation performance.

Systems and methods are described herein for communications bandwidth enhancement using Orthogonal Spatial Division Multiplexing (OSDM). For example, large sparse antenna arrays may be able to distinguish between signals emitted by multiple nearly collocated antennas, even if the signals have the same frequency, polarization, and coverage. Thus, the use of a large sparse antenna array may be able to resolve/isolate individual antennas on a single platform, allowing for OSDM, analogous to Orthogonal Frequency Divisional Multiplexing (OFDM). Using OSDM, multiple antennas on the same vehicle are able to reuse the same frequencies/polarizations without interference, thereby increasing spectrum availability while still providing the same transmitter power spectral density and total RF power emission.

A communication system includes a repetitive orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (“ROFDM”)transmitter communicating with an ROFDM receiver. The ROFDM transmitter includes an ROFDM modulator, which includes a K-point Fast Fourier Transform receiving a block of time-domain data symbols and generating an initial orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing symbol. The initial orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing symbol is based on a block of frequency-domain data symbols corresponding to the block of time-domain data symbols. The initial orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing symbol includes an ending part. The ROFDM modulator includes an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing symbol repeater generating a repetitive orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing symbol by repeatedly reproducing the initial orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing symbol. The modulator includes a cyclic prefix adder pretending a cyclic prefix to the repetitive orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing symbol to generate a baseband transmitted signal. The cyclic prefix includes the ending part of the initial orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing symbol. The ROFDM receiver includes an ROFDM demodulator.

The enumerated sequences are sequences with relatively good cross-correlation. Therefore, for two subcarrier groups, provided that selected {s.sub.i,n.sub.id(k)} is two of the enumerated sequences, cross-correlation between signals carried in the two subcarrier groups can be ensured to be relatively good, thereby reducing interference between the signals and improving channel estimation performance.

A user terminal is disclosed that includes a transmitter that transmits uplink control information (UCI) using an uplink control channel and a processor that controls at least one of generation and transmission of the UCI based on a spreading factor of the uplink control channel.
