Disclosed are techniques related to wireless communication system in which multi-level encoded modulation (MLCM) is applied to non-coherent communication. In the proposed techniques, a small fraction of differential phase rotations or bits participating in differential symbol coding are protected with strong codes while other complementary differential phase rotations or bits are protected with weaker codes. Compared to conventional non-coherent communication techniques in which a uniform protection is applied to any fraction of differential phase rotation or any bit of a differential symbol, the proposed MLCM approach enables more spectrally efficient scheme.

Disclosed are a multi-carrier superposition method and device. First, input carrier signals arc superposed, and gain reduction processing is conducted during the superposition process, and then CFR processing and increase processing are conducted on the superposed carrier signals. Thus, under the circumstance of multi-carrier superposition, it can be effectively ensured that signals cannot overflow, and meanwhile the requirement for precision of a system during processing is met.

Provided are a data transmitting or receiving method and device for dual Transport Blocks (TBs), a transmitter and a receiver. Data to be transmitted is divided into two portions, where transport blocks TB1 and TB2 are generated respectively according to a corresponding predetermined Modulation Coding Scheme (MCS) for each portion. The TB1 is modulated into an amplitude weighted complex symbol sequence S1, and the TB2 is modulated into an amplitude weighted complex symbol sequence S2. The S1 and the S2 are superposed to generate a complex symbol sequence S3 corresponding to a new TB, where the complex symbol sequence S3 corresponding to the new TB possesses Gray properties. The new TB is transmitted to a receiver.

Systems described herein receive, via a physical random access channel, an attach request from a user device; retrieve profile data for the user device; and determine, based on RF conditions estimated from the attach request, an initial downlink repetition level for extended coverage. The systems also receive a reference signal from the user device via a physical uplink shared channel; determine an uplink repetition level for coverage extension based on the uplink RF conditions and requirements from the profile data. The systems detect high resource use within a cell; identify a shared downlink resource channel for the user device, wherein machine-type communication (MTC) data for the user device uses BPSK modulation; identify non-MTC data requiring downlink transmission to a device within the cell; and send the non-MTC data over the shared downlink resource channel, and on a resource pre-allocated for the user device, using a different modulation level.

A method of signal communication is disclosed comprising providing source data having a predetermined signal power; mapping the source data onto a first modulation scheme to obtain a first set of complex symbols; mapping the source data onto at least one further modulation scheme to obtain at least one further set of complex symbols; combining the first set of complex symbols and the at least one further set of complex signals to form a modulated signal to be forwarded along a communications channel. Beneficially, the predetermined signal power of the source data is split between the first modulation scheme and the at least one further modulation scheme.

One embodiment is directed to a method comprising deciding to multiplex the data of at least two users within a super-constellation; determining the power split ratio among the at least two users; selecting a super-constellation; and based on the determined power split ratio, choosing a subset of the super-constellation points forming the superposition of modulation constellations of the at least two users.

This application provides an uplink signal sending method and receiving method, a communications device, and a network device. The method includes: receiving, by a terminal device, downlink control information DCI sent by a network device; determining, by the terminal device based on the DCI, a transport block size TBS used for transmitting an uplink signal; and sending, by the terminal device, the uplink signal on two contiguous uplink subcarriers in a Pi/2 BPSK modulation mode based on the determined transport block size. Therefore, the uplink signal is transmitted in the Pi/2 BPSK modulation mode by using the determined transport block size.
