A radio transmission apparatus determines information indicative of an estimated communications channel condition and generates a single modulation signal or a plurality of modulation signals based on the estimated communications channel condition information. The single modulation signal is transmitted from a first antenna of a plurality of antenna or the plurality of modulation signals are transmitted from the first antenna and at least a second antenna of the plurality of antenna. The plurality of modulation signals include different information from each other and are transmitted over an identical frequency band and at an identical temporal point. The single modulation signal and the plurality of modulation signals contain parameter information indicating a number of modulation signals transmitted at the same time.

Provided is a wireless communication terminal that wirelessly communicates with a base wireless communication terminal. The wireless communication terminal includes a transceiver, and a processor. The processor is configured to set an integer selected from a range of 0 to a value equal to or smaller than an OFDMA Contention Window (OCW) as a counter for random access, receive a trigger frame for triggering random access using one or more resource units (RUs) allocated for the random access from the base wireless communication terminal using the transceiver, decrement a value of the counter based on the one or more RUs allocated for the random access, randomly select one RU based on the one or more RUs allocated for the random access when the value of the counter is 0 or reaches 0, and attempt transmission to the base wireless communication terminal using the selected RU.

A bit interleaving method applying a bit permutation process to a QC LDPC codeword made up of N cyclic blocks of Q bits each, dividing the processed codeword into constellation words of M bits each, and applying an intra-cyclic-block permutation process to the cyclic blocks, where the codeword is divided into F×N/M folding sections of M/F cyclic blocks each and the constellation words are each associated with one of the folding sections, and the bit permutation process is applied such that the constellation words are each made up of F bits from each of M/F different cyclic blocks in the associated section, after the permutation process.

Physical layer structures and access schemes for use in such networks are described and in particular initial access channel (IACH) structures are proposed. A spectrum efficient downlink (DL) IACH design supports different types of User Equipment (UE) capabilities and different system bandwidths. An IACH includes the synchronization channel (SCH) and broadcast-control channel (BCH). A non-uniform SCH for all system bandwidths is provided, as well as scalable bandwidth BCH depending on system bandwidth. An initial access procedure is provided, as well as an access procedure.

Systems, devices, and methods of the present invention facilitate secure communication by altering the set of symbol waveforms that may be in use in particular symbol times defined herein as Symbol Waveform Hopping. SWH may be enabled by selecting two or more modulation formats that have sufficiently comparable communication performance (e.g., occupied bandwidth and signal power efficiency), but characterized by symbol waveform alphabet that include different symbol waveform, so that the overall transmission/communication performance of data stream in a signal transmission channel of the system is not significantly affected by switching between modulation formats. Some or all of the symbol waveforms in each alphabet may not be present in other alphabets.

For example, an Enhanced Directional Multi-Gigabit (DMG) (EDMG) wireless communication station (STA) may be configured to scramble, according to a first scrambling sequence, a plurality of EDMG Header B bits of an EDMG Header B field of an EDMG Multi-User (MU) Physical Layer (PHY) Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) into a plurality of scrambled header bits; generate a Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codeword based on the plurality of scrambled header bits; determine a data block based on the LDPC codeword; generate one or more scrambled data blocks based on the data block by scrambling the data block according to a second scrambling sequence; and transmit a wireless transmission of the EDMG Header B based on the one or more scrambled data blocks.

Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are provided to implement a method of communicating a feedback in a wireless local area network (WLAN). A WLAN device may receive a data frame with a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) data indicator in a frame header. The WLAN device may send an acknowledgement frame when the data frame is correctly received and decoded. The WLAN device may send a negative acknowledgement frame when the data frame is not correctly received and decoded.

A coded bit transmission method and apparatus, to improve spectrum resource utilization and a data rate of a Wi-Fi system, where the method includes: A sender performing channel coding on information bits according to a used MCS, to generate coded bits; and the sender distributing the coded bits to a plurality of channel sets or a plurality of resource units according to a distribution rule.
