A method and system of communicating between a plurality of nodes are provided. The plurality of nodes are part of a cooperative broadcast multi-hop network that employs broadcast flood routing and multi-hop transmission using a direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) waveform.

Embodiments of this application provide a downlink control information transmission method, an apparatus, and a system, so that after receiving one piece of DCI, the terminal device learns whether blind detection of DCI needs to be continued. The method includes: A terminal device receives first DCI, where the first DCI includes first indication information, and the first indication information is used to indicate a first antenna port. The terminal device assumes, based on the first antenna port and antenna port configuration information, whether second DCI exists. The configuration information may include an index of a CDM group to which each of a plurality of antenna ports belongs and a maximum quantity of CDM groups that is supported by the terminal device; or the configuration information may include one or more antenna port groups, and each of the one or more antenna port groups includes one or more antenna ports.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive an indication of a search space configuration that identifies one or more parameters associated with demodulation reference signals (DMRSs) for a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) communication. The UE may decode a PDCCH candidate associated with the PDCCH communication, based at least in part on the one or more parameters associated with the DMRSs, wherein the PDCCH candidate is aggregated over one or more PDCCH monitoring occasions. Numerous other aspects are described.

The disclosure relates in some aspects to providing a flexible channel bandwidth in a mobile radio communications network. For example, wherein a consecutive series of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) subcarriers may be provisioned for uplink or downlink communications, a flexible frame structure may be provided by provisioning different subcarrier spacings for the consecutive series of OFDM subcarriers. The different subcarrier spacings may be used for transmitting and/or receiving OFDM signals.

Provided is a transmitter which improves the flexibility of SRS resource allocation without increasing the amount of signaling for notifying the cyclic shift amount. In the transmitter, with regard to each basic shift amount candidate group having a basic shift amount from 0 to N−1, a transmission control unit (206) specifies the actual shift amount imparted to a cyclic shift sequence used in scrambling a reference signal transmitted from each antenna port, said specification being performed based on a table in which cyclic shift amount candidates correspond to each antenna port, and based on setting information transmitted from a base station (100). With regard to basic shift amount candidates for shift amount X, the table differentiates between an offset pattern comprising offset values for cyclic shift amount candidates corresponding to each antenna port and an offset pattern corresponding to basic shift amount candidates of X+N/2.

A receiving device in a communication system is provided. The communication system includes at least one processor configured to estimate noise power on a frequency channel by despreading a reception on the frequency channel using at least one non-assigned despreading code. The at least one non-assigned despreading code corresponds to at least one spreading code that is unused by transmitting devices in the communication system on the frequency channel.

The examples set forth herein describe methods, devices, and systems in which a wireless communication device that is a node of a vehicle ad-hoc network (VANET) spreads a reservation channel message with a spreading code, according to a codedivision multiple access (CDMA) scheme. The wireless communication device transmits a reservation channel transmission to at least one other wireless communication device, which is another node of the VANET, via time-frequency resources selected from a reservation channel resource pool. The reservation channel transmission contains the spread reservation channel message. In some examples, multiple reservation channel messages may be included in a single reservation channel transmission. In these examples, each reservation channel message is spread with a different orthogonal code before combining the reservation channel messages and spreading the combined reservation channel messages with a spreading code, according to a CDMA scheme.

A downlink interference is dynamically suppressed in a multi-feeder link of a same frequency between an aerial-floating type communication relay apparatus and plural gateway (GW) stations with a simple configuration. A plurality of pilot signals, which are spectrally spread using a plurality of spread codes orthogonal to each other, are transmitted and received between the relay communication station of the aerial-staying type communication relay apparatus and plural GW stations, a propagation path response between plural GW stations and an antenna for feeder link of the communication relay apparatus in a transmission signal band of the feeder link is estimated based on reception results in which the plural pilot signals are spectrally inverse-spread, plural weights respectively corresponding to the plural of GW stations are calculated based on the plural propagation path responses, and with respect to each of the plural GW stations, a signal to be transmitted and received via a directional beam corresponding to another GW station is multiplied by the weight corresponding to the other GW station and subtracted from a signal to be transmitted and received via the directional beam corresponding to the GW station.

The present invention relates generally to video or other media transmission, and more particularly, to encoding and decoding of video media that has been transmitted between a video source and a video sink using spread spectrum direct sequence (SSDS) modulation.

An apparatus for communication in a wireless communication network comprises a coder that encodes a set of data symbols to produce a set of coded symbols; a modulator that modulates the coded symbols onto a set of subcarrier frequencies to generate a time-domain signal comprising a sum of a set of modulated pulse waveforms; and a transmitter configured for transmitting the time-domain signal in the wireless communication network. The coder employs a matrix of spreading codes, wherein each column of the matrix multiplies a different one of the data symbols, which causes the modulator to produce a corresponding one of the set of modulated pulse waveforms. Each column of the matrix of spreading codes comprises a set of linearly increasing phases, which provides a time offset to the corresponding modulated pulse waveforms.
