A signal processing method, a device and a communication device are provided. A signal processing method, applied to a first communication device and including: a first communication device sending a first reference signal to a second communication device; where the first reference signal is used for an automatic gain control measurement of at least two ports of the first reference signal and at least one of: a frequency offset estimation; a channel state information measurement; or a channel estimation.

A millimeter-wave communication system includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter is configured to be connected to a waveguide that is transmissive at millimeter-wave frequencies, the waveguide having a propagation parameter that varies with frequency at the millimeter-wave frequencies. The transmitter is configured to generate a millimeter-wave signal comprising multiple sub-carriers that are modulated with data, wherein each sub-carrier is modulated with a respective portion of the data and is subjected to only a respective fraction of a variation in the propagation parameter, and to transmit the millimeter-wave signal into a first end of the waveguide. The receiver is configured to receive the millimeter-wave signal from a second end of the waveguide, and to extract the data from the multiple sub-carriers.

A method and system for providing sub-band whitening are herein provided. According to one embodiment, a method includes deriving an estimated noise plus interference variance (NIVar) based on at least one legacy-long training field (LLTF) symbol from an LLTF signal; and updating an interference whitening (IW) factor by using a sub-band NIVar.

Provided are a time domain channel prediction method and a time domain channel prediction system for an OFDM wireless communication system, which relate to the technical field of adaptive transmission in wireless communication. Frequency domain channel information is converted into time domain tap information by inverse Fourier transform. With respect to each time domain tap information, tap information prediction based on an extreme learning machine is realized, and finally predicted tap information is converted into frequency domain channel information by Fourier transform. To improve a generalization ability of a channel predictor, an output weight of the extreme learning machine is punished by a combination of l.sub.2 regularization and l.sub.1/2 regularization. The disclosure may provide satisfactory prediction performance and may output a sparse output weight, which reduces the requirement for memory storage. The disclosure ensures adaptive transmission and adaptive coding of wireless communication.

A communication device and method include a reconfigurable receiver that is reconfigurable between communication, ranging and radar modes. The reconfigurable receiver includes a mixer configured to mix digital samples with a carrier phase estimate signal and configured to generate in-phase digital samples based on the carrier phase estimate. The reconfigurable receiver further includes a symbol correlator configured to correlate against the in-phase digital samples and generate correlated data, and a symbol binning unit configured to bin the correlated data and generate a first order channel impulse response estimate. The reconfigurable receiver yet further includes a multiplexer configured to switch the digital samples to the symbol binning unit when the reconfigurable receiver is configured in radar mode and to switch the correlated data to the symbol binning unit when the reconfigurable receiver is configured in a ranging mode.

Aspects presented herein may enable a receiving device to receive high frequency signals with a simpler receiver to reduce the overall complexity and cost associated with the receiver. In one aspect, an apparatus receives a reference signal from a second wireless device. The apparatus measures amplitude and phase of the reference signal relative to a set point. The apparatus transmits channel flattening information in a precoding feedback to the second wireless device, the precoding feedback including at least a difference between the amplitude of the reference signal and the set point for a sub-band.

An apparatus for wireless communication transmits a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for at least eight orthogonal DMRS ports in a single symbol of at least one slot. The apparatus also transmits data in the at least one slot. The apparatus may correspond to a base station transmitting DMRS and downlink data. The apparatus may correspond to a user equipment (UE) transmitting DMRS and uplink data. The apparatus may bundle the DMRS across multiple slots with a bundled DMRS including a first set of the DMRS ports in a first single symbol of a first slot and a second set of the DMRS ports in a second single symbol of a second slot. The apparatus may transmit the DMRS in only a single slot in a physical resource block group (PRG) including two or more resource blocks using four frequency domain orthogonal cover codes (FD-OCC) and a frequency offset pattern.

Improved solutions for reliable physical channel, e.g. Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) reception during wireless communications, for example during 3GPP New Radio (NR) communications include continuous channel repetitions that cross slot boundaries, channel repetitions with multiple frequency hops, and joint-repetition channel estimation that uses demodulation reference signals from at least two channel repetitions for the channel estimation. In one aspect, reliable PDSCH reception may have the benefit of aiding target UEs and serving base stations in implementing reliable Multicast and Broadcast Services (MBS).
