Positioning for user equipments (UEs) in a wireless network is supported by restricting position reference signal (PRS) configuration parameters for a Transmission Reception Point (TRP) based on PRS configuration used by co-located TRPs. The PRS configuration parameters for the TRP may be restricted by restricting orthogonality of the PRS resources with respect to PRS resources from co-located TRPs to only code division multiplexing, and other types of orthogonality such as time division multiplexing and frequency divisional multiplexing are not permitted for co-located TRPs. The PRS configuration parameters for the TRP may be restricted to the same muting sequence type, e.g., inter-instance and/or intra-instance muting, as used by co-located TRPs. The PRS configuration parameters, e.g., related to orthogonality and/or muting, are not restricted with respect to non-co-located TRPs. The restrictions on the PRS configuration parameters for a TRP may be determined by a central authority, such as a location server.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for wireless communication. A method that may be performed by a base station (BS), the method including determining a plurality of root sets, wherein each root set of the plurality of root sets comprise at least a first root and a second root. In some examples, the method includes transmitting signaling that indicates the plurality of root sets.

A transmitting apparatus is disclosed. The transmitting apparatus includes an encoder to perform channel encoding with respect to bits and generate a codeword, an interleaver to interleave the codeword, and a modulator to map the interleaved codeword onto a non-uniform constellation according to a modulation scheme, and the constellation may include constellation points defined based on various tables according to the modulation scheme.

Provided is a radio communication device which can suppress inter-code interference between an ACK/NACK signal and a CQI signal which are code-multiplexed. A diffusion unit (214) diffuses the ACK/NACK signal inputted from a judgment unit (208) by using a ZC sequence. A diffusion unit (219) diffuses the CQI signal by using a cyclic shift ZC sequence. By using a Walsh sequence, a diffusion unit (216) further diffuses the ACK/NACK signal which has been diffused by using the ZC sequence. A control unit (209) controls the diffusion unit (214), the diffusion unit (216), and the diffusion unit (219) so that the minimum value of the difference between the CQI signals from a plurality of mobile stations and a cyclic shift amount of the ACK/NACK signal is not smaller than the minimum value of the difference between the cyclic shift amounts of the ACK/NACK signals from the plurality of mobile stations.

A satellite communications system can use a spread-spectrum waveform and format, a synchronization scheme, and/or a power management algorithm. This approach can provide benefits such as allowing every terminal to communicate with every other terminal, link margin permitting. This gives the network a mesh topology although it can be configured in a star topology for highly asymmetric applications. A further understanding of the nature and the advantages of particular embodiments disclosed herein may be realized by reference of the remaining portions of the specification and the attached drawings.

Methods, systems, and devices are described for orthogonal modulation of signals using maximal length sequences and Hadamard transforms. Modulation symbols to be transmitted are arranged into sequences indexed from 1 to 2.sup.n1 for some integer n. A constant is added to the beginning of each sequence, which is then multiplied by a Hadamard matrix of size 2.sup.n2.sup.n. The resulting sequences will be orthogonal and will have a first value of zero. The first value is discarded, and the sequence are reordered and associated with m-sequences. The signal is then transmitted. A cyclic prefix may also be transmitted. Upon receiving the transmission, a receiver may discard the cyclic prefix or use it for channel equalization. The receiver may then reorder the received signal, insert a zero, apply the 2.sup.n2.sup.n Hadamard transform, discard the zero, and order the sequences again according to the index to retrieve the data.
