The communication method includes: determining N MCS indexes in an MCS table, where a value that is obtained by multiplying a code rate by 1024 and that corresponds to an MCS index X in the N MCS indexes is less than or equal to a first threshold, where X is an integer greater than or equal to 0, N is a positive integer, and N is greater than or equal to X; and sending at least one of the N MCS indexes.

Infrastructure equipment forming part of a wireless communications network configured to receive data from a communications device via a communications channel between the infrastructure equipment and the communications device. The infrastructure equipment comprises circuitry configured to receive, from the communications device, a request for a resource allocation, to receive one or more reference symbols from the communications device, to estimate based on the received reference symbols, for each of a plurality of resource units, RUs, of the communications channel, a signal to interference and noise ratio, SINR, sequence of the communications channel, and to perform a first transform followed by a second transform on the SINR sequence to produce a cepstrum of the SINR sequence, the second transform being an inverse of the first transform, and to encode and to transmit the cepstrum to the communications device.

The apparatus may be a device at a UE or a base station. The UE (or base station) may be configured to measure a phase noise of a first local oscillator associated with a first port. The UE (or base station) may further be configured to configure, based on the measured phase noise, an allocation of a first set of one or more REs of a PUSCH (or PDSCH) for at least one PT-RS associated with the first port. The first set of one or more REs may include multiple layers associated with a multiple-layer single-carrier waveform transmission. The UE (or base station) may also be configured to transmit, to a base station (or a UE), the PUSCH (or PDSCH) including the at least one PT-RS, the at least one PT-RS being transmitted via the configured allocation of the first set of one.

A system that incorporates aspects of the subject disclosure may perform operations including, for example, monitoring performance parameters in a communications network, identifying a degradation in performance of one or more nodes of the communications network according the monitored performance parameters, and initiating corrective action to mitigate the degradation in performance of the one or more nodes of the communications network. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A method for transmitting acknowledgement/negative-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) information of a user equipment (UE) configured with two serving cells including a first serving cell and a second serving cell, the method including receiving two transport blocks (TBs) through a downlink subframe of the first serving cell, receiving one TB through a downlink subframe of the second serving cell and transmitting ACK/NACK information informing ACK/NACKs for the two TBs and the one TB through an uplink subframe of the first serving cell, wherein the ACK/NACK information informs the ACK/NACKs for the two TBs and the one TB by a combination of one resource selected from a plurality of candidate resources and two bits transmitted through the one resource.

A telecommunication network associated with a wireless telecommunication provider can be configured to dynamically switch the primary cell (PCell) used by user equipment (UE) for carrier aggregation (CA) in 5G cellular networks. Instead of remaining anchored to an initially selected PCell, a different PCell may be dynamically selected based on different network conditions. The network conditions may include network congestion, network capacity, uplink speed, location of the UE, an activity of the UE (e.g., is the UE uploading or planning to upload data), and the like. As an example, the PCell may be selected from an n41 (2.5 GHz) cell and an n71 (600 MHz) cell. When the UE is close to the n41 cell, the n41 cell may be selected. When the UE is moving away from the cell center and toward the cell edge, the PCell may be switched from the n41 cell to the n71 cell.

The described technology is generally directed towards reducing latency in a wireless communications network. Radio access network latency data corresponding to a measured latency impact criterion is obtained by a network device of a wireless network. Based on the radio access network latency data, latency guidance data usable by the radio network device to achieve a reduction in communication latency that is experienced by a user equipment is predicted, e.g., by a learned model. The latency guidance data can be used to facilitate a reduction in the communication latency that is experienced by a user equipment.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a wireless device may select random access channel occasions (ROs) based jointly on synchronization signal block (SSB) measurements and cross-link interference (CLI) measurements. The base station may configure the wireless device with a set of SSB occasions during which to measure SSBs and a set of interference measurement occasions on which to measure CLI caused by other wireless devices. The wireless device may perform measurements on the received SSBs to determine channel quality for communications with the base station, and CLI measurements during the interference measurement occasions to determine whether CLI exceeds a threshold. The wireless device may then select a beam and an associated RO (e.g., a full duplex RO or a half duplex RO) on which to transmit the random access message using the selected beam.

Provided is a radio communication device which can make Acknowledgement (ACK) reception quality and Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) reception quality to be equal to each other. The device includes: a scrambling unit (214) which multiplies a response signal after modulated, by a scrambling code “1” or “e.sup.−j(π/2)”, so as to rotate a constellation for each of response signals on a cyclic shift axis; a spread unit (215) which performs a primary spread of the response signal by using a Zero Auto Correlation (ZAC) sequence set by a control unit (209); and a spread unit (218) which performs a secondary spread of the response signal after subjected to the primary spread, by using a block-wise spread code sequence set by the control unit (209).

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods and devices for channel state information (CSI) transmission. In example embodiments, a method implemented in a terminal device includes performing a channel estimate between the terminal device and a network device across a predetermined frequency range for a set of beams having different spatial directions; determining, based on the channel estimate, first indication information indicating at least one beam selected from the set of beams and second indication information indicating frequency-related information for the at least one selected beam at a plurality of frequency locations in the predetermined frequency range; and transmitting to the network device the first indication information in a first part of a channel state information (CSI) report and the second indication information in a second part of the CSI report.
