A device of a New Radio (NR) User Equipment (UE), a method and a machine readable medium to implement the method. The device includes a Radio Frequency (RF) interface, and processing circuitry coupled to the RF interface, the processing circuitry to: encode for transmission, to a User Equipment (UE), a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) including a Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) and a channel estimation signal that is time division multiplexed with the PBCH, the channel estimation signal to allow the UE to estimate a channel for the PBCH and including one of a Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS), a Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) or a Phase Tracking Reference Signal (PT-RS); and apply Discrete Fourier Transform-spread-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM) to the PBCH prior to sending the SSB to the RF interface for transmission.

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 sequence hopping is applied or not; transmitting, to the base station, the signal using a first sequence if a number of resource blocks allocated to the user equipment is less than a predetermined value; and transmitting, to the base station, the signal using a second sequence to which the sequence hopping is applied based on the received information if the number of the resource blocks allocated to the user equipment is greater than or equal to the predetermined value. The sequence hopping is performed using a pseudo-random function, and the sequence hopping is performed in a unit of a slot.

An extensible communication system is described herein. The system includes a first module for receiving a root index value and for generating a constant amplitude zero auto-correlation sequence based on the root value. The system further includes a second module for receiving a seed value and for generating a Pseudo-Noise sequence based on the seed value. The system further includes a third module for modulating the constant amplitude zero auto-correlation sequence by the Pseudo-Noise sequence and for generating a complex sequence. The system further includes a fourth module for translating the complex sequence to a time domain sequence, wherein the fourth module applies a cyclic shift to the time domain sequence to obtain a shifted time domain sequence.

In a radio communication system using an Orthogonal Cover Code (OCC) for a DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS), abase station apparatus correctly receives a Physical Uplink Shared CHannel (PUSCH). If a first mode is set in which a DMRS of a PUSCH is multiplied by an OCC determined in advance or if a temporary Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI) was used for a transmission of Downlink Control Information (DCI), the DMRS of the PUSCH is multiplied by the OCC determined in advance, and if a second mode is set in which the DMRS of the PUSCH is multiplied by an OCC determined based on cyclic shift information in the DCI and if an Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) other than the temporary C-RNTI was used for a transmission of the DCI, the DMRS of the PUSCH is multiplied by the OCC determined based on the cyclic shift information in the DCI.

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.

A wireless communications method synchronously transmits periodically from synchronized base stations of a single frequency network a common downlink synchronization signal (IoT-PSS) that underlays broadcasted signals transmitted in licensed bands of a cellular system, and a system frame number least significant bits signal (IoT-SFN-LSB) indicating timing of transmission of a system information block signal (IoT-SIB) that contains information related to downlink and uplink transmission schedules and allocations. An IoT device receives the common downlink synchronization signal and transmits uplink data only after receiving the synchronization signal and system frame number signal.

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, 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.

In a radio communication system using OCC for DMRS, a base station apparatus correctly receives PUSCH. If a first mode is set in which a demodulation reference signal of a physical uplink shared channel is multiplied by an orthogonal code determined in advance or if a temporary C-RNTI was used for a transmission of downlink control information, the demodulation reference signal of the physical uplink shared channel is multiplied by the orthogonal code determined in advance, and if a second mode is set in which the demodulation reference signal of the physical uplink shared channel is multiplied by an orthogonal code determined on the basis of cyclic shift information in the downlink control information and moreover, if an RNTI other than the temporary C-RNTI was used for the transmission of the downlink control information, the demodulation reference signal of the physical uplink shared channel is multiplied by the orthogonal code determined on the basis of the cyclic shift information in the downlink control information.
