The present disclosure discloses a method and a system for providing a code cover to Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols in a multiple user system. A data sequence is received from each of a plurality of users. Further, a reference sequence is generated for the data sequence of each of the plurality of users. Each of the reference sequence is multiplied with a code cover which are orthogonal to each other. Each of the reference sequence is time-multiplexed with corresponding data sequence, to generate a corresponding multiplexed sequence. Further, a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) is performed on each of the multiplexed sequence to generate a corresponding DFT-spread-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM) symbol. Lastly, the corresponding DFT-s-OFDM symbol is processed for transmitting over corresponding one or more channels.

There is provided mechanisms for beamformed reception of downlink reference signals. A. method is performed by a terminal device. The method comprises obtaining direction-wise measurements of interference experienced by the terminal device. The method comprises generating, based on the direction-wise measurements of interference, a beam having a beam gain that is lower in those directions where a first interference level is experienced than in those directions where a second interference level is experienced, where the first interference level is higher than the second interference level. The method comprises receiving, using the generated beam, downlink reference signals from a network node.

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. In one configuration, the apparatus may be a UE. The UE determines an MCS that would facilitate interference suppression of an interfering first cell transmission from a first cell when decoding a second cell transmission from a second cell at the UE. The interfering first cell transmission is a transmission unintended for the UE. The second cell transmission is a transmission intended for the UE. The UE transmits information indicating the determined MCS for the first cell. The UE receives a transmission including the second cell transmission from the second cell and the interfering first cell transmission from the first cell. The UE demodulates and/or decodes the second cell transmission from the received transmission based on the determined MCS.

The present invention relates to a base station apparatus, a terminal apparatus, and a communication method. In a case that Multi-User Superposition Transmission (MUST) is applied, the transmit power for applying 256 QAM is insufficient. MUST is efficiently applied in an environment in which an MCS table including 256 QAM is configured for use. The base station includes an MCS configuration unit configured to hold a first table including MCS indices that include 256 QAM, and a second table not including 256 QAM, and in a case of performing MUST, configure an MCS not including 256QAM for downlink data of the second terminal, and a PDSCH generating unit configured to generate, by use of MUST, downlink data of the first terminal and downlink data of the second terminal that are generated based on the MCS indices configured.

A method of providing over-the-air assistance information for interference cancellation or suppression to the receiver is proposed. Under a first solution, a two-stage DCI (downlink control information) or SCI (sidelink control information) scheduling method is proposed. The set of first-stage DCI or SCI provides a part of scheduling information which is beneficial for interference cancellation or suppression and is broadcasted by a transmitter or scheduler to all receivers. The set of second-stage DCI or SCI includes the remaining scheduling information and is unicasted by a transmitter or scheduler to each receiver. Under a second solution, assistance information DCI for interference cancellation or suppression is broadcasted by a transmitter or scheduler to all receivers.

An advanced wireless communication system supporting Multi-User Superposition Transmission (MUST) includes a plurality of UEs and an advanced base station. A method of using the advanced wireless communication system includes receiving, from a MUST-UE, a MUST receiver scheme; determining a baseline size of second downlink control information according to the received MUST receiver scheme and a MUST transmission technique; configuring the MUST-UE to operate according to a MUST configuration, the MUST configuration including the MUST transmission technique; and transmitting, to the MUST-UE: first downlink control information, including an indication that MUST is used; second downlink control information including assistant information according to the determined baseline size; and a MUST composite data signal on an associated DL shared channel, according to the MUST transmission technique.

[Solution] There is provided a device including: an acquisition unit configured to acquire a parameter for a user relating to interference cancellation; and a control unit configured to perform measurement or measurement reporting with respect to a cell in accordance with the parameter.

A device that selects a transmission weight by which each of a plurality of signal points is to be multiplied; multiplies a signal corresponding to each of the plurality of signal points by the selected transmission weight; multiplexes the multiplied signals corresponding to each of the plurality of signal points on a same frequency and time resource; and modifies a selection rule corresponding to the transmission weight by which each of the plurality of signal points is to be multiplied.

A multiple access slotted wireless communication system comprising a plurality of terminals and a multi-access receiver is described. The multi-access receiver can decode multiple transmissions in each slot of a frame from terminals in its field of view. Each terminal has an active state for transmitting and an inactive state. After receiving acknowledgement of a successful transmission by the terminal, the terminal enters the inactive state for at least a transmission delay time. This may be the remaining time that the terminal is in the field of view of the multi-access receiver. This may be achieved by the terminal using a probability of transmission to determine whether or not to transmit in the next frame. The terminal may also be configured to select the slot in a frame, and this may be based upon information such as which slots were acknowledged. The receiver may use compression to transmit acknowledgement messages.
