A terminal is disclosed that includes a receiver that receives downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). The terminal also includes a processor that, when the DCI is cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled by a radio network temporary identifier used to choose a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) table (MCS-RNTI), determines, based on the MCS-RNTI, a downlink phase tracking reference signal (PT-RS) position for the PDSCH. In other aspects, a radio communication method, a base station, and a system are also disclosed.

Systems and methods are described for avoiding redundant data transfers using delta coding techniques when reliably and opportunistically communicating data to multiple user systems. According to embodiments, user systems track received block sequences for locally stored content blocks. An intermediate server intercepts content requests between user systems and target hosts, and deterministically chucks and fingerprints content data received in response to those requests. A fingerprint of a received content block is communicated to the requesting user system, and the user system determines based on the fingerprint whether the corresponding content block matches a content block that is already locally stored. If so, the user system returns a set of fingerprints representing a sequence of next content blocks that were previously stored after the matching content block. The intermediate server can then send only those content data blocks that are not already locally stored at the user system according to the returned set of fingerprints.

Various aspects of the disclosure relate to limits for modulation and coding scheme (MCS) values. For example, a first set of limits (e.g., minimum and maximum limits) may be used for a first MCS table and a second set of limits may be used for a second MCS table. The disclosure also relates in some aspects to inter-device signaling that indicates which minimum and maximum limits for an MCS table are to be used for communication between the devices.

According to various embodiments, an electronic device includes a communication circuit for supporting a Bluetooth™ communication, and at least one processor functionally connected to the communication circuit. The at least one processor is configured to establish, via the communication circuit, a Bluetooth™ low energy (BLE) communication link with an external electronic device, to generate a first data packet from first audio data using a first coding scheme, and generate a second data packet from first audio data using a second coding scheme, and through the BLE communication link, to transmit the first data packet to the external electronic device in a first time interval of a predetermined time interval, and transmit the second data packet to the external electronic device in a second time interval of the predetermined time interval.

Improved techniques for recovering from an error condition without requiring a re-transmittal of data across a high-speed data link and for improved power usage are disclosed herein. A data stream is initiated. This stream includes different types of packets. Error correcting code (ECC) is selectively imposed on a control data type packet. A transmitter node and a receiver node are connected via a hard link that has multiple virtual channels. Each virtual channel is associated with a corresponding power-consuming node. When the receiver node receives the control data type packet, error correction is performed if needed without re-transmittal. When a final data type packet is transmitted for each virtual channel, the transmitter node transmits an end condition type packet. A corresponding power-consuming node that corresponds to the respective virtual channel transitions from an active state to a low power state.

There is provided a method and a device for transmitting and receiving configuration information. The method includes: determining, by a network device, configuration information, where the configuration information is configured to indicate, for a terminal device, a first CQI value range under a first target BLER; and transmitting, by the network device, the configuration information to the terminal device. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the network device indicates the first CQI value range under the first BLER to the terminal device by using the configuration information, which can effectively save the overhead of high-level signaling, compared to by a manner of configuring a CQI table. In addition, since the CQI value range is configurable, not only the reliability of the CQI feedback but also efficiency of the CQI indication is improved.

Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), generation Node-B (gNB) and methods of communication are generally described herein. The UE may receive, from a gNB, a narrowband physical downlink control channel (NPDCCH) that indicates a number of narrowband internet-of-things (NB-IoT) downlink subframes for a downlink scheduling delay of a narrowband physical downlink shared channel (NPDSCH) in one or more radio frames configured for time-division duplexing (TDD) operation. Subframes of the one or more radio frames may include uplink subframes, NB-IoT downlink subframes for downlink NB-IoT transmissions, and downlink subframes for other downlink transmissions. The UE may determine the downlink scheduling delay based on an earliest subframe for which a count of NB-IoT downlink subframes is equal to the number of NB-IoT downlink subframes indicated in the NPDCCH.

A communication device (20 and 40) includes a redundant data generation unit (212a and 412a), a signal generation unit (212b, 412b, 212c, and 412c), and a transmission unit (212d and 412d). The redundant data generation unit (212a and 412a) performs error correction coding processing on combined data obtained by combining first data and second data to generate redundant data used for error correction. The signal generation unit (212b, 412b, 212c, and 412c) generates a transmission signal based on the second data and the redundant data. The transmission unit (212d and 412d) transmits the transmission signal to another communication device (20 and 40).

This document generally relates to transmitting a feedback message from a first node to a second node, where the message indicates both a detection result of receiving at least a portion of a transport block, and addition information that indicates to the second node how to set one or more parameters for a subsequent transmission. In various embodiments, the message includes a value, such as an M-bit binary value that indicates both the detection result and the additional information.

Disclosed is a method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a communication system, including receiving, from a base station, downlink control information including resource assignment information of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), identifying a number of resource elements (REs) for the PDSCH based on the resource assignment information of the PDSCH, identifying a temporary transport block size (TBS) based on the number of REs for the PDSCH, identifying a TBS based on the temporary TBS, and receiving, from the base station, the PDSCH based on the TBS, wherein the number of REs for the PDSCH is identified by excluding a number of REs associated with a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) and a control channel.
