A method, apparatus, and computer program for controlling allocation of control message fields in uplink transmission in a cellular telecommunication system are presented. Uplink control message fields are allocated to the resources of a physical uplink shared traffic channel according to an uplink transmission scheme selected for a user terminal. The control message fields are allocated so that transmission performance of the control messages is optimized for the selected uplink transmission scheme.

A transceiver device includes a controller arranged to identify a first set of control information within the data packet, and to re-map the data packet such that the first set of control information is mapped on bits known to be more robust. The transceiver device further includes a transmitter arranged to transmit the re-mapped data packet. The first set of control information holds information which enables for identification to combine soft bits from repeated transmissions at a receiver of the packet. The bits known to be more robust have more distinct value distribution in signal space of a used modulation and coding scheme than other bits. The transceiver device is arranged to transmit a data packet. A corresponding method, computer program, access point and station are also disclosed.

Provided are a method and device for sending control information and receiving control information. The method for sending control information comprises repeatedly sending control information within a scheduling period of the control information M times, wherein the scheduling period is the length of N radio frames, N and M are positive integers greater than 1, and N is greater than or equal to M. The disclosure solves the technical problem in the related art that control information cannot be correctly received in a low-coverage environment and thus a terminal cannot normally access a network, achieving the technical effect of accurately receiving the control information so as to ensure that the network can be accessed normally.

Generating a channel state information (CSI) feedback report is provided. A set of reference signals is received. A plurality of entries that are included in the CSI feedback report are computed, where the entries of the CSI feedback report include at least a set of coefficients. Each coefficient is associated with a set of indices including at least one or more of a spatial domain basis index, a frequency domain basis index, and a layer index. The plurality of entries of the CSI feedback report are arranged in an order known to both the user equipment and the network entity. The plurality of entries of the CSI feedback report are prioritized using indices corresponding to the set of indices, where a subset of the set of indices are permuted based on predefined permutations of the subset of the set of indices.

Example systems, methods, and devices for extending range of WiFi networks are discussed. More specifically, methods for extending range of a Wi-Fi network are disclosed. The method may include the operations of appending, by a network device, one or more codebits to one or more original codebits or coded symbols, sending, by the network device, the original codebits or coded symbols and the appended codebits to an interleaver or a constellation mapper for transmission. The original codebits or coded symbols and the appended codebits may be sent over a plurality of subcarriers. Methods, apparatus, and systems described herein can be applied to 802.11ax or any other wireless standard.

A method performed by a first wireless device for transmitting control information in a D2D communication with a second wireless device in a wireless telecommunications network is provided. The first wireless device multiplexes coded modulation symbols of the control information with coded modulation symbols of data information on Resources Elements, REs, in a Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, OFDM, time-frequency grid of a Dedicated Shared CHannel, DSCH, in the D2D communication, wherein the control information comprises Transmission Format Command, TFC, information and Uplink Control Information, UCI. Then, it transmits the coded modulation symbols of the control information multiplexed with the coded modulation symbols of the data information on REs in the OFDM time-frequency grid of the DSCH in the D2D communication to the second wireless device. A first wireless device, a network node and a method performed by the network node are also provided.

An adaptive downlink control channel structure is provided to enable a transmitter to switch between forward error correction codes that use either Chase combining or incremental redundancy hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) techniques. Chase combining HARQ can be more efficient for forward error correction codes that use higher code rates, while incremental redundancy can be more effective for forward error correction codes that use lower code rates. The transmitter will also selectively comprise the redundancy version indicator bits depending on the HARQ method selected, which can reduce the sizes of the transport blocks when not using incremental redundancy. A receiver device can also decode transport blocks and determine whether a redundancy version indicator is present based on the forward error correction code selected.

Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for retransmission in a wireless LAN. The method for retransmission in a wireless LAN may comprise the steps in which: an STA receives an RTS frame from an AP; the STA transmits a CTS frame to the AP in response to the RTS frame; the STA receives an initial data frame from the AP after transmitting the CTS frame; if decoding on the initial data frame is impossible, the STA transmits a retransmission request frame to the AP; and the STA receives a retransmission data frame from the AP in response to the retransmission request frame.
