Disclosed is a method that is performed by a network node of a Radio Access Network, RAN, for allocating resources for an APeriodic Sounding Reference Signal, AP-SRS, the method including: creating a multiple dimension resource map for SRS resources, wherein each SRS resource index having a corresponding count, indicating the allocated amount of corresponding SRS resource index; counting the number of the allocated SRS resources for each downlink slot; selecting the downlink slot which has the minimum number of allocated SRS resources; counting the number of the allocated resources for each SRS slot; selecting the SRS slot which has the minimum allocated SRS resources; determining a valid SRS resource index or indexes with minimum allocated amount, for the selected downlink slot and SRS slot, based on 1-symbol or multi-symbol SRS user; allocating SRS resource having the valid SRS resource index or indexes.

Scalable space-time quadrature spatial modulation for multidimensional wireless systems is performed by configuring a plurality of transmit antennas to each represent an in-phase spatial constellation symbol within an in-phase spatial constellation, and a quadrature spatial constellation symbol within a quadrature spatial constellation, mapping source data to the in-phase spatial constellation symbols and the quadrature spatial constellation symbols represented by the plurality of transmit antennas, wherein the method constructs the set which has equal multiplicities of the transmit antenna activation, which ensures maximum possible transmit diversity and reduces the required complexity, making this feasible for larger number of antennas.

A distributed antenna system is provided that frequency shifts the output of one or more microcells to a 60 GHz or higher frequency range for transmission to a set of distributed antennas. The cellular band outputs of these microcell base station devices are used to modulate a 60 GHz (or higher) carrier wave, yielding a group of subcarriers on the 60 GHz carrier wave. This group will then be transmitted in the air via analog microwave RF unit, after which it can be repeated or radiated to the surrounding area. The repeaters amplify the signal and resend it on the air again toward the next repeater. In places where a microcell is required, the 60 GHz signal is shifted in frequency back to its original frequency (e.g., the 1.9 GHz cellular band) and radiated locally to nearby mobile devices.

A method for operating a transmitting device using semi-orthogonal multiple access (SOMA) includes determining power allocations and sub-quadrature amplitude modulation (sub-QAM) allocations for a first receiving device and a second receiving device in accordance with channel information associated with the first receiving device and the second receiving device, and transmitting information about a first power allocation for the first receiving device, and a first sub-QAM allocation for the first receiving device to the first receiving device.

In a power line communication (PLC) method, a primary routing device may obtain a device access status of a first secondary routing device. When a device access status of a first secondary routing device is a first state, it indicates that no user equipment accesses a first secondary routing device. In this case, a primary routing device may allocate a transmission opportunity in a second time segment subsequent to a first time segment of a transmission management cycle to the first secondary routing device.

A method by which a terminal transmits an uplink signal in a wireless communication system, according to one embodiment of the present specification, comprises the steps of: receiving configuration information related to the transmission of the uplink signal; and transmitting the uplink signal on the basis of the configuration information. The configuration information includes a transmission configuration indicator state (TCI state).

The invention relates to a control channel signal for use in a mobile communication system providing at least two different scheduling modes. Further the invention relates to a scheduling unit for generating the control channel signal and a base station comprising the scheduling unit. The invention also relates to the operation of a mobile station and a base station for implementing a scheduling mode using the control channel signal. In order to facilitate the use of different scheduling schemes for user data transmission while avoiding an additional flag for indicating the scheduling mode in the control signaling, the invention proposes the use of code points in existing control channel signal fields. Further, the invention proposes a specific scheduling mode for use in combination with the proposed control channel signal. According to this scheduling mode control channel information is only provided for retransmissions, while initial transmissions are decoded using blind detection.
