Techniques and examples of channel multiplexing within interlace for New Radio (NR) unlicensed spectrum (NR-U) operation are described. An apparatus (e.g., user equipment (UE)) determines which sub-interlace of multiple sub-interlaces in each of a plurality of interlaces is assigned to the apparatus. The apparatus then performs an uplink (UL) transmission to a wireless network in an NR-U using the assigned sub-interlace in each of the plurality of interlaces. Each of the plurality of interlaces may be divided into respective multiple sub-interlaces with channel multiplexing.

Methods, devices, and systems for the transmission of information in a wireless communication system are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for the transmission of information in a wireless communication system comprises receiving a downlink message, wherein the downlink message includes a first control channel element; determining a first index using the location of the first control channel element; determining a second index; determining a first orthogonal resource using the first index; determining a second orthogonal resource using the second index; spreading an uplink message using the first orthogonal resource to form a first spread signal; spreading the uplink message using a second orthogonal resource to form a second spread signal; transmitting the first spread signal using a first antenna; and transmitting the second spread signal using a second antenna.

The present invention employs a pilot scheme for frequency division multiple access (FDM) communication systems, such as single carrier FDM communication systems. A given transmit time interval will include numerous traffic symbols and two or more short pilot symbols, which are spaced apart from one another by at least one traffic symbol and will have a Fourier transform length that is less than the Fourier transform length of any given traffic symbol. Multiple transmitters will generate pilot information and modulate the pilot information onto sub-carriers of the short pilot symbols in an orthogonal manner. Each transmitter may use different sub-carriers within the time and frequency domain, which is encompassed by the short pilot symbols within the transmit time interval. Alternatively, each transmitter may uniquely encode the pilot information using a unique code division multiplexed code and modulate the encoded pilot information onto common sub-carriers of the short pilot symbols.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide design that allows for assigning code sequences for UEs for use in RSMA.

To enable low latency uplink to be used in a more preferable mode can be provided. A device includes: a communication unit configured to perform radio communication; and a control unit configured to perform control such that control information is transmitted from the communication unit to a terminal, the control information indicating that a communication scheme in which data non-orthogonally multiplexed for a plurality of layers is demodulated through cancellation of interference between the layers and in which the data is transmitted from the terminal to a base station through a predetermined uplink resource, is available.

A method and a device for performing communication by using a non-orthogonal code multiple access scheme in a wireless communication system are provided. Particularly, a terminal receives control information from a base station. The terminal modulates or demodulates a terminal-specific NCC on the basis of the control information. The terminal performs the non-orthogonal code multiple access scheme by using the terminal-specific NCC. The control information includes information on a codeword composed of a Grassmannian sequence. The codeword is included in a codebook predefined for the non-orthogonal code multiple access scheme. Each coefficient of the Grassmannian sequence is quantized on the basis of an M-quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM) constellation.

A method and apparatus for multiplexing demodulation reference signals and a communication system. The method for multiplexing includes: transmitting data and DM-RSs by using one or more time-frequency resource blocks; the DM-RSs of each UE or each data stream occupy a part of frequency-domain resources of the time-frequency resource blocks, the DM-RSs of a part of UEs or data streams are superimposed on identical time-domain resources in a manner of frequency-division multiplexing, and the DM-RSs of a part of the UEs or data streams are superimposed on identical time-frequency resources in a manner of code-division multiplexing. Hence, even if in a case of massive UEs access, the DM-RSs may be multiplexed within given time-frequency resources, while performance of transmission may still be ensured.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may perform an operation to obtain one or more channel state information (CSI) resources (e.g., new resources) from a set of resources indicated by a CSI report configuration. For example, the UE may aggregate or separate respective resources of the set of resources to obtain one or more CSI resources. The operation may be performed based on a first number of antenna ports associated with each resource of the set of resources and a second number of antenna ports associated with a codebook configuration. Thus, performing the operation may result in the UE forming one or more CSI resources for measuring CSI on the one or more CSI resources. The UE may transmit a CSI report based on measuring the CSI for a set of reference signals received on the one or more CSI resources.

Communication is performed by using an uplink control channel of a configuration matching each shortened TTI. A user terminal according to the present invention includes: a transmission section that transmits uplink control information via an uplink control channel by using a shortened TTI configured by a smaller number of symbols than symbols of a normal TTI; and a control section that controls the transmission of the uplink control information, and the control section transmits the uplink control information by using a resource block subjected to frequency hopping between slots in the second TTI, and maps a demodulation reference signal on at least one symbol that configures the slots.
