Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive an indication of an offset value from a first modulation and coding scheme relating to a first code rate for a payload data transmission. The UE may determine, for a transmission of uplink control information, a second modulation and coding scheme, relating to a second code rate, that is different from the first modulation and coding scheme based at least in part on the offset value. The UE may transmit the uplink control information using the second modulation and coding scheme based at least in part on determining the second modulation and coding scheme. In some aspects, a UE may segment uplink control information. Numerous other aspects are provided.

A terminal includes a transmission unit configured to transmit control information including an index indicating an MCS (Modulation and Coding Scheme) to another terminal; and a control unit configured to include the index that is reserved, in the control information, in a case of indicating, to said another terminal, information defined in advance.

The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long-Term Evolution (LTE). Disclosed is a method of configuring a reference signal for a stationary wireless link in a wireless network, wherein the method of configuring comprises the step of: activating a reference signal overhead reduction mode if a predetermined condition is met.

A communication technique and a system thereof for are provided fusing a 5G communication system to support higher data rates, which is subsequent to the 4G system, with IoT technology. The disclosure may be applied to intelligent services (e.g., smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, healthcare, digital education, retail business, security and safe-related services, etc.) based on 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology. A method of operating a base station in a wireless communication system includes transmitting channel feedback configuration information to a terminal; receiving channel feedback information from the terminal; and performing transmission/reception of data, based on the channel feedback information. The channel feedback information may include information indicating a state of an antenna panel of the terminal.

A method for transmitting downlink control information (DCI) and a communication device are provided. The method includes: sending downlink control information (DCI) based on a first mapping relationship, in which the first mapping relationship is a correspondence between a resource quantity and a transport block size (TBS) value configured for a first kind of terminal, and the first mapping relationship includes a first correspondence for a first modulation and coding scheme (MCS) and a second correspondence for a second MCS. The second correspondence includes a correspondence selected from a second mapping relationship between a resource quantity and a TBS value configured for a second kind of terminal and different from the first correspondence.

A method and a device in a node used for wireless communications are disclosed in the present disclosure. A node transmits a first signal, a first reference signal and a second reference signal on a first channel; small-scale fading channel parameters experienced by the second reference signal are used to infer small-scale fading channel parameters experienced by the first signal; the first reference signal is associated with at least one antenna port of the second reference signal, a first MCS is used to determine time-domain density of the first reference signal, and the first MCS is different from an MCS employed by the first signal. The present disclosure associates an MCS to which the resource mapping of PTRS refers with an MCS employed by data, making it easier for the base station to acquire the mapping of PTRS in non-scheduling-based uplink transmission, thus enhancing the overall system performance.

A transmission processing method includes: coding a transmission bit in an available coding scheme; and sending coded information, where the available coding scheme includes at least one of: performing joint source-channel coding at a physical layer; performing channel coding with a code rate greater than one at the physical layer; performing joint source-channel coding with a code rate greater than one at the physical layer; performing channel coding at the physical layer by directly using an input bit as an output bit; performing channel coding at the physical layer, the channel coding including at least the following two parts: a CRC part and a part directly using an input bit as an output bit; and using joint channel-source coding at a non-physical layer.

A communication method and a system for converging a 5th-generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of things (IoT) are provided. The disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as a smart home, a smart building, a smart city, a smart car, a connected car, health care, digital education, a smart retail, security and safety services. The disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for efficient transmission and reception of control information in a sidelink communication.

A user terminal according to the present invention includes: a reception section that receives each of information indicating a code rate for a first uplink control channel, and information indicating a code rate for a second uplink control channel having a longer duration than that of the first uplink control channel; and a control section that controls transmission of Uplink Control Information (UCI) based on a code rate indicated by the information matching an uplink control channel used for the transmission of the uplink control information.

Methods, systems, and devices are described for fountain hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) for reliable low latency communication. A wireless device may transmit a data block based on a low latency operational mode. The device may then transmit a number of redundancy versions of the data block prior to determining whether an acknowledgement (ACK) has been received. In some examples the ACK may be an augmented ACK, which may be based on the number of redundancy versions received prior to successfully decoding the data block, and which may include an additional resource request. In some examples, the device may select an updated modulation and coding scheme (MCS) based on the augmented ACK. In some examples, the device may increase a number of frequency resources (e.g., component carriers) used for transmission based on the augmented ACK.
