A packet detection method of a receiver estimates noise power based on received samples and an orthogonal sequence that is orthogonal to a preamble sequence of a transmitter. The method verifies whether a packet is present in a radio channel based on the noise power. Also provided is a transmitter that selects a preamble sequence, modulates a transmission packet, and transmits the modulated transmission packet for reception by such a receiver.

Disclosed are a method for transmitting and receiving an uplink demodulation reference signal (DMRS) in a wireless communication system, and an apparatus therefore. Particularly, a method by which a terminal transmits a DMRS in a wireless communication system comprises the steps of: receiving, from a base station, downlink control information (DCI) for physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) scheduling; generating a DMRS sequence for the PUSCH; and mapping the DMRS sequence to a physical resource, wherein the DMRS sequence can be mapped with the spacing of a predetermined resource element (RE) within the symbol to which the DMRS sequence is mapped.

A PTRS processing method includes: receiving, by a terminal, first indication information and second indication information from a network device, where the first indication information is used to indicate a time-domain location at which a PTRS is to be sent by the terminal, and the second indication information is used to indicate an offset of an initial time-domain location to which the PTRS is mapped by the terminal; mapping, by the terminal, the PTRS to one or more DFT-s-OFDM symbols based on the first indication information and the second indication information; and sending, by the terminal, the one or more DFT-s-OFDM symbols. In this way, the PTRS mapped to the DFT-s-OFDM symbol is offset at a DFT-s-OFDM symbol level.

A method for receiving an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) signal transmitted by a user device in a wireless network comprises determining which subcarrier frequencies are allocated to the user device; converting the OFDM signal to a frequency-domain values corresponding to the subcarrier frequencies; and decoding the frequency-domain values to recover data symbols encoded by the user device on the subcarrier frequencies. The decoding employs codes that are inverse to, complex-conjugate of, or complementary to a set of complex-valued codes employed by the user device to shape the OFDM signal into a superposition of cyclic-shifted pulse waveforms, wherein each of the pulse waveforms has one of the data symbols modulated thereon.

The present invention provides a terminal device that allows constraints on user allocation to be prevented and spread codes to be allocated in a scheduler when non-adaptive HARQ is employed using a PHICH. A codeword generator (103) generates code words (CW) by encoding data, a layer mapping unit (108) places each CW in one or a plurality of layers, a DMRS generator (110) generates a reference signal for each layer in which a CW is placed by using any resource among a plurality of resources defined by a mutually orthogonal plurality of OCCs, and an ACK/NACK demodulator (102) receives a response signal indicating a retransmission request. When a response signal requesting retransmission of only a CW placed in a plurality of layers is received, the DMRS generator (110) uses each resource having the same OCC among the plurality of resources for the reference signals generated in the corresponding layers.

A terminal that communicates with a base station monitors a physical downlink control channel allocated in a physical downlink control channel region and an enhanced physical downlink control channel allocated in a physical downlink shared channel region different from the physical downlink control channel region. If the physical downlink control channel is detected, the terminal reports response information via a physical uplink control channel resource corresponding to the resource in which the physical downlink control channel was detected. If the enhanced physical downlink control channel is detected, the terminal reports via a prescribed physical uplink control channel resource.

A source node selects a plurality of original data components to transfer to at least one destination node. A plurality of transmitting nodes cooperatively encodes the original data components to generate a plurality of subspace coded components and a corresponding code matrix. Each of the transmitting nodes transmits a subset of the plurality of subspace coded components and corresponding code matrix, wherein at least one of the transmitting nodes has a rank that is insufficient for decoding the plurality of subspace coded components. A destination node may employ a plurality of receiving nodes to cooperatively receive a plurality of subspace coded components and their corresponding code vectors, wherein the rank of at least one of the receiving nodes is insufficient for decoding the subspace coded components. The destination node builds up the dimension of the subspace spanned by code vectors it collects from the receiving nodes and then decodes the subspace coded components.

An OFDM transmitter spreads original data symbols with a complex-valued spreading matrix derived from a discrete Fourier transform. Spread data symbols are mapped to OFDM subcarriers. Spreading and mapping are configured to produce a transmitted spread-OFDM signal with a low peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) and orthogonal code spaces. In MIMO systems, the complex-valued spreading matrix can comprise a MIMO precoding matrix, and the code spaces can comprise MIMO subspaces. In Cooperative-MIMO, a combination of low code-space cross correlation and low PAPR can be achieved.

A cooperative multi-user multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) antenna array comprises a MIMO subspace processing system communicatively coupled by a fronthaul network to a set of antennas residing on multiple ones of a plurality of geographically distributed wireless terminals in a Radio Access Network. The MIMO subspace processing system can comprise a distributed computing system. The MIMO antenna array is adapted by updating the set of antennas to produce a second set of antennas; reconfiguring the fronthaul network; selecting an updated set of distributed computing resources to perform MIMO subspace processing; and reconfiguring the MIMO subspace processing to employ channel state information of the second set to enable multiple non-interfering subspace channels occupying a common frequency.
