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 M×N 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 M×N 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.

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 the multiple short sequence based SRS, multiple items of sequence data having a short sequence length corresponding to a partial band are used for transmitting SRS in discontinuous bands. In the multiple short sequence based SRS, a terminal specifies a frequency domain to be used for transmitting a reference signal using predetermined sequence data, applies a phase shift index associated with the specified frequency domain to the reference signal, and transmits the reference signal to which the phase shift index is applied by using the specified frequency domain.

An apparatus of a cellular data communication device includes one or more memory devices configured to store data corresponding to a plurality of service data units (SDUs) from a protocol layer higher than a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer of a cellular data network, and one or more processors operably coupled to the one or more memory devices and configured to concatenate the plurality of SDUs into a single protocol data unit (PDU) above the PDCP layer.

A data receiver is configured to receive a signal including a plurality of partial data packets, wherein the plurality of partial data packets each include part of a data packet, wherein the data receiver includes a multi-stage correlator that is configured to perform multi-stage correlation to detect the partial data packets in the received signal, wherein a second correlation stage of the multi-stage correlator operates based on correlation results of a first correlation stage of the multi-stage correlator.

A spread spectrum system is used for transmitting data to devices in a distributed system. Each device has a respective spread spectrum code, and has a corresponding encoder in a central control system operating the same spread spectrum codes, the encoded data relating to the devices being aggregated over a shared channel. An additional broadcast spread spectrum coding sequence is allocated to a broadcast channel readable by a plurality of the devices using a command extraction function and used to transmit general commands for operation by the plurality of devices. Individual actuators may be arranged to respond in different ways to such a broadcast command, for example switching some on and switching others off. The broadcast may also be used to change the coding sequences allocated to individual devices, allowing flexible use of the available spread-spectrum coding sequences.

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.

Narrowband Internet of Things synchronization signals are described that carry offset information. In one example an evolved NodeB (eNB) to performs operations to transmit synchronization signals for time and frequency synchronization between the eNB and user equipments (UEs) for narrowband Internet of things (NB-Iot). The operations include concatenating a plurality of short ZadoffChu (ZC) sequences each having a different root index, the ZC sequences being ordered to indicate an offset for use by a UE, generating an NB-Iot Primary Synchronization Signal (NB-PSS) using the concatenation of short ZadoffChu (ZC) sequences, and transmitting the resulting NB-PSS by the eNB in a periodic manner to the UE, wherein, the offset is identified by the order of the ZC sequences.
