In one embodiment, a method includes receiving SRS received from a plurality of UEs associated with the base station from an RU associated with the base station, estimating strengths or signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) for pre-determined beams for each of the plurality of UEs based on the received SRS, selecting a subset of the plurality of UEs to which downlink data is to be transmitted for a RBG in a TTI based on the estimated strengths or SNRs of the pre-determined beams for the plurality of UEs, computing a precoding matrix for the RBG based on the selected subset, preparing multi-layered UE data for the RBG based on the selected subset and the computed precoding matrix, sending the multi-layered UE data and the precoding matrix for the RBG to the RU, where the RU transmits pre-coded multi-layered UE data to the UEs in the subset using MIMO technologies.

Aspects relate to techniques for MCS selection of a packet to be network coded for sidelink communication. A transmitting UE may encode a packet using an MCS that is greater than a normal MCS that may be used for encoding the packet without network coding. The transmitting UE may then transmit the encoded packet to one or more receiving UEs and a network coding device over a sidelink data channel. The transmitting UE may further transmit a network coding request flag associated with the packet to initiate one or more retransmissions of the packet by the network coding device.

The present disclosure provides a method implemented in an Access Node (AN) for performing Link Adaptation (LA) for a radio link to which different types of resources are allocated. The method comprises operating separate LA instances for the different types of resources to separately adapt Modulation and Coding Schemes (MCS's) for the different types of resources. The method further comprises performing transmissions on the different types of resources according to the separately adapted MCS's. Also, the present disclosure provides an AN for performing the LA.

In one example embodiment, a network control node includes a memory having computer-readable instruction stored therein, and a processor. The processor is configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to determine an uplink correction parameter based on at least one of network loading conditions and a modulation coding scheme used for transmission of data packets on an uplink channel from a user equipment to the network control node, determine a target signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) for the user equipment based on the uplink correction parameter, and adjust the modulation coding scheme based on the determined target SINR.

This invention discloses a multimode interconnection interface controller for a converged network, which comprises a SERDES element responsible for serial/parallel conversion, a LANE_TXCLK element responsible for generating a transmit clock, a SERDES initialization element responsible for link training and rate negotiation, and a PCS_EB coding element and an PCS_AF coding element responsible for physical layer coding of messages. The link training and rate negotiation are completed automatically via the shared SERDES initialization element. More universality and flexibility are provided for interconnection chip design by the PCS_EB coding element. The PCS_AF coding element is provided to reduce message penetration delay. The multimode interconnection interface controller is integrated in a single chip. Through flexible configuration, the single chip can meet transmission requirements of dedicated high speed networks and Ethernet networks. The multimode interconnection interface controller also supports interconnection of data center Ethernet and high performance computing high speed network.

With increasingly dense wireless traffic in 5G and 6G networks, the incidence of message faults due to interference is increasing, leading to wasted time and energy on multiple re-transmissions. Disclosed are procedures for assembling a fault-free copy of a message from two corrupted copies. First, measure the modulation quality of each message element. A faulted message element usually has poor modulation quality. Then, select the best message elements from each of the two corrupted copies, and test the merged version against an embedded error-detection code. If the merged copy still fails the test, select each of the message elements that are different in the two faulted copies since they are all suspicious, and test each version with the error-detection code. By recovering a message despite reception errors, another transmission is avoided, saving time and energy, and avoiding contributing yet further to the background noise. Many additional aspects are disclosed.

Disclosed are an encoding ratio setting method and a radio communication device which can avoid encoding of control information at an encoding ratio lower than necessary and suppress lowering of the transmission efficiency of the control information. In the device, an encoding ratio setting unit (122) sets the encoding ratio R′.sub.control of the control information which is time-multiplexed with user data, according to the encoding ratio R.sub.data of the user data, ΔPUSCHoffset as the PUSCH offset of each control information, and ΔRANKoffset as the rank offset based on the rank value of the data channel using Expression (1).

A method for link adaptation in a wireless communication system, the method performed by a user equipment (UE) and including measuring a channel state at a first time instance, reporting a measurement value of the channel state, and receiving scheduling based on the reported measurement value of the channel state from a serving base station at a second time instance. Traffic generation of a neighboring base station is restricted at least between the first time instance and the second time instance to accord the reported measurement value of the channel state with a channel state at the second time instance.

A method and apparatus for transmitting cell-broadcast data in a wireless communication system is provided. A base station determines a transport block size (TBS) based on an aggregation level, and transmits the cell-broadcast data to a machine-type communication (MTC) user equipment (UE) by using the TBS. That is, different TBSs may be determined based on different aggregation levels.
