Method and device for handling base sequences in a communications network
The embodiments herein related to a method in a network node, a network node, a method in a user equipment and a user equipment for handling base sequences in a communications network. The network node is configured to communicate with a first user equipment. The network node comprises information about a default base sequence and an alternative base sequence. The network node determines, for the first user equipment, that the alternative base sequence should replace the default base sequence. The network node sends information about the determined alternative base sequence to the first user equipment.
Transmission device and transmission method
A transmission device that improves data reception quality includes: a weighting synthesizer that generates a first precoded signal and a second precoded signal from a first baseband signal and a second baseband signal, respectively; a phase changer that applies a phase change of i×Δλ to the second precoded signal; an inserter that inserts a pilot signal into the second precoded signal applied with the phase change; and a phase changer that applies a phase change to the second precoded signal applied with the phase change and inserted with the pilot signal. Δλ satisfies π/2 radians<Δλ<π radians or π radians<Δλ<3π/2 radians. Each of the first baseband signal and the second baseband signal is modulated via a modulation scheme of quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) using non-uniform mapping.
On PDCCH DMRS mapping and coreset resource allocation
A UE determines a first DCCH resource candidate in a first CORESET on a carrier, the first DCCH resource candidate including a first set of RBs. The UE also determines a first sequence of DMRSs that are mapped, starting at a reference point, to RBs in a predetermined range within the carrier in a frequency domain, the predetermined range containing the first DCCH resource candidate in the frequency domain. The UE further determines a first reference location of the first set of RBs. The UE determines, based on the first reference location, a first set of DMRSs from the first sequence of DMRSs, the first set of DMRSs being mapped to the first set of RBs. The UE obtains a channel estimation based on the first set of DMRSs; and The UE performs blind decoding of the first DCCH resource candidate based on the channel estimation.
WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND OPERATING METHOD SUPPORTING CARRIER AGGREGATION
A user terminal supporting carrier aggregation (CA) and an operating method thereof are provided. The operating method includes receiving indication information regarding a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) component carrier (CC) group from a base station; determining whether a phase noise characteristic of the user terminal is the same with respect to CCs included in the PTRS CC group, based at least in part on the indication information; requesting the base station to transmit at least one PTRS using at least one CC included in the PTRS CC group; and receiving the at least one PTRS from the base station using the at least one CC.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, a configuration for a time domain (TD) control channel element (CCE) bundle that includes at least one TD CCE for single carrier waveforms, wherein a phase continuity is assumed for a duration of the TD CCE bundle. The UE may perform a channel estimation using the TD CCE bundle based at least in part on the phase continuity for the duration of the TD CCE bundle. Numerous other aspects are described.
SWITCHING BETWEEN CHANNEL ESTIMATION MODES AT A USER EQUIPMENT
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine an actual power delay profile (PDP) associated with a channel between the UE and a base station, wherein the actual PDP indicates an averaged power level of the channel over a period of time. The UE may determine whether a channel estimation mode switching event is satisfied. The UE may switch, based at least in part on the channel estimation mode switching event being satisfied, between a first channel estimation mode based at least in part on the actual PDP and a second channel estimation mode based at least in part on a template PDP.
