A terminal is disclosed including a receiver configured to receive a physical control channel (PUCCH) resource configuration; and a processor configured to use different base sequences for a PUCCH between a first hop and a second hop if the PUCCH resource configuration indicates that intra-slot frequency hopping is enabled, a starting physical resource block (PRB) that is a first PRB in the first hop, and a second hop PRB that is a first PRB in the second hop, even when the second hop PRB is equal to the starting PRB. In other aspects, a radio communication method for a terminal and a base station are also disclosed.

An interference canceller comprises a composite interference vector (CIV) generator configured to produce a CIV by combining soft and/or hard estimates of interference, an interference-cancelling operator configured for generating a soft projection operator, and a soft-projection canceller configured for performing a soft projection of the received baseband signal to output an interference-cancelled signal. Weights used in the soft-projection operator are selected to maximize a post-processing SINR.

A wireless communication unit may receive a composite signal that includes data, a code division multiplexing (CDM) pilot sequence that is spread with a first channelization code, and a time division multiplexing (TDM) pilot sequence including a cyclic prefix. The TDM pilot sequence may be spread with a second channelization code. The composite signal may have a pre-defined portion of a time slot where the CDM pilot sequence is non-cyclic. The TDM pilot sequence may have a cyclic structure within the pre-defined portion of the time slot.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for variable spreading factor codes for non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA). In an exemplary method, a base station assigns, from a first codebook of N short code sequences of length K, a subset of the short code sequences to a number of user equipments (UEs); receives a signal including uplink data or control signals from two or more of the UEs, wherein a first uplink data or control signal is sent using a first subsequence of one of the assigned short code sequences, and a second uplink data or control signal is sent using a second subsequence of one of the assigned short code sequences or using one of the assigned short code sequences; and decodes each uplink data or control signal in the signal based on the assigned short code sequences and subsequences of the assigned the short code sequences.

In future radio communication systems, uplink control channels will be transmitted properly. A user terminal has a receiving section that receives frequency hopping information, which indicates whether frequency hopping for an uplink control channel in one slot is enabled or not, and receives information that indicates the number of slots for the uplink control channel, and a control section that, when the number of slots is greater than one, controls repetition transmission of the uplink control channel, over a plurality of slots, by applying at least one of a spreading factor of a time-domain orthogonal cover code, a configuration of a demodulation reference code, and a base sequence, to the uplink control channel, based on the frequency hopping information.

A system is disclosed for providing low data rate broadcast services. Different types of broadcast packets are detected among data packets received an external network. The different types broadcast packets contain different a different broadcast content. When a particular type of broadcast packet is detected, a transmit data rate is selected and Walsh codes are assigned for achieving the transmit data rate. Data packets corresponding to the broadcast packets are compressed, and at least one RLC block containing the compressed data packets is created. The RLC blocks are transmitted from a satellite using the assigned Walsh codes.
