Transmission of random access preamble structures within a cellular wireless network is based on the use of cyclic shifted constant amplitude zero autocorrelation (CAZAC) sequences to generate the random access preamble signal. A pre-defined set of sequences is arranged in a specific order. Within the predefined set of sequences is an ordered group of sequences that is a proper subset of the pre-defined set of sequences. Within a given cell, up to 64 sequences may need to be signaled. In order to minimize the associated overhead due to signaling multiple sequences, only one logical index is transmitted by a base station serving the cell and a user equipment within the cell derives the subsequent indexes according to the pre-defined ordering. Each sequence has a unique logical index. The ordering of sequences is identified by the logical indexes of the sequences, with each logical index uniquely mapped to a generating index. When a UE needs to transmit, it produces a second sequence using the received indication of the logical index of the first sequence and an auxiliary parameter and then produces a transmission signal by modulating the second sequence.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide example uplink control information transmission methods, terminal devices, base stations, and systems. An example transmission method includes the following steps: First, the terminal device determines an information bit sequence of to-be-transmitted uplink control information. Then, the terminal device determines a first sequence according to the information bit sequence, where the first sequence is a linear-phase complex exponential sequence. Finally, the terminal device sends the to-be-transmitted uplink control information to the base station by using an uplink control channel, where the uplink control channel occupies N symbols, N is a positive integer, a signal carried on a symbol l of the N symbols is directly proportional to a product of the first sequence and a second sequence, and the second sequence is a cyclic shift sequence.

Flexible waveform synthesis is disclosed for new radio (NR) shared spectrum (NR-SS) networks. In order to accommodate variable transmission resources, a transmitter may construct an MN grid to model a resource element (RE) map of transmission resources available to the transmitter within a shared communication channel, where M corresponds to a number of symbols for a scheduled physical signal and N corresponds to a number of tones of a transmission bandwidth for the transmitter. The transmitter may then map the MN grid to the RE map and puncture one or more REs associated with the subbands unavailable for transmission in the transmission resources. The transmitter may then transmit a transmission according to the unpunctured REs of the RE map.

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and more particularly, to a method including receiving indication information related to a PUCCH resource set of a specific PUCCH format through system information, the PUCCH resource set comprising a first RB offset, receiving a PDCCH including a resource indicator RI through CCE, and transmitting the control information on the PUCCH, wherein an RB index of the PUCCH is determined based on the first RB offset and a second RB offset related to a first bit value of the RI, and wherein a CS index of the PUCCH is determined based on a combination of [a second bit value of the RI, a 1-bit value based on a starting CCE index of the PDCCH (hereinafter, a CCE-based 1-bit value)] in a CS index set, and an apparatus therefor.

Various aspects and features provide waveform design and signaling support that provide and facilitate high accuracy positioning determination by low powered devices (e.g. UEs) in NR and IoT by allowing UEs to request on demand positioning operation support from a base station and the base station to dynamically configure parameters associated with a positioning reference signal (PRS) for transmission to the UEs. A UE may transmit an indication of its positioning requirement and/or capability information to a base station. The base station may configure parameters associated with a positioning reference signal (PRS), for example, a waveform type of the PRS, based on the indication and transmit the PRS to the UE. The UE may receive the PRS having the configured parameters and may perform at least one of UE positioning, ranging, or a UE velocity determination based on the received PRS.

A wireless communication terminal apparatus wherein even when a SC-FDMA signal is divided into a plurality of clusters and the plurality of clusters are then mapped to respective discontinuous frequency bands (when C-SC-FDMA is used), the improvement effect of system throughput can be maintained, while the user throughput can be improved. In the apparatus, a DFT unit (210) subjects a symbol sequence of time domain to a DFT process, thereby generating signals of frequency domain. A setting unit (211) divides the signals input from the DFT unit (210) into a plurality of clusters according to a cluster pattern that is in accordance with an MCS set, an encoding size, or the number of Ranks occurring during MIMO transmissions, which is indicated in those signals input, and then maps the plurality of clusters to the respective ones of a plurality of discontinuous frequency resources, thereby setting a constellation of the plurality of clusters in the frequency domain.

A method and apparatus for allocating and processing sequences in a communication system is disclosed. The method includes: dividing sequences in a sequence group into multiple sub-groups, each sub-group corresponding to its own mode of occupying time frequency resources; selecting sequences from a candidate sequence collection corresponding to each sub-group to form the sequences in the sub-group by: the sequences in a sub-group i in a sequence group k being composed of n sequences in the candidate sequence collection, the n sequences making a |r.sub.i/N.sub.ic.sub.k/N.sub.p.sub.1| or |(r.sub.i/N.sub.ic.sub.k/N.sub.p.sub.1) modu m.sub.k,i| function value the smallest, second smallest, till the n.sup.th smallest respectively; allocating the sequence group to cells, users or channels. It prevents the sequences highly correlated with the sequences of a specific length from appearing in other sequence groups, thus reducing interference, avoiding the trouble of storing the lists of massive sequence groups.

A radio communication device capable of randomizing both inter-cell interference and intra-cell interference. In this device, a spreading section primarily spreads a response signal in a ZAC sequence set by a control unit. A spreading section secondarily spreads the primarily spread response signal in a block-wise spreading code sequence set by the control unit. The control unit controls the cyclic shift amount of the ZAC sequence used for the primary spreading in the spreading section and the block-wise spreading code sequence used for the secondary spreading in the spreading section according to a set hopping pattern. The hopping pattern set by the control unit is made up of two hierarchies. An LB-based hopping pattern different for each cell is defined in the first hierarchy in order to randomize the inter-cell interference. A hopping pattern different for each mobile station is defined in the second hierarchy to randomize the intra-cell interference.

Methods and apparatuses are provided for transmitting and receiving a signal using a sequence in a wireless communication system. The method includes receiving, from a base station, information indicating whether group hopping or sequence hopping for the reference signal is applied or not; transmitting, to the base station, the signal using a first sequence based on a plurality of sequence groups if the group hopping is applied; and transmitting, to the base station, the signal using a second sequence to which the sequence hopping is applied if the sequence hopping is applied and a number of resource blocks allocated for the second sequence is greater than or equal to a predetermined value.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for concurrent reference signal transmissions using common resources, such as demodulation reference signal (DMRS) transmissions, from a number of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) transmitters. Different transmitters may use different sequences for reference signal transmissions, which may allow a receiver, such as a wireless base station, to decode the reference signal transmissions for each NOMA transmitter and perform channel estimation for each NOMA transmitter. The reference signal transmissions may be asynchronous with a bounded timing offset or quasi-synchronous, and the reference signal sequence selection may provide for relatively reliable channel estimation and coherent demodulation.
