The present specification relates to a reception apparatus and method for demodulating a signal in a wireless AV system. The reception apparatus estimates a transmission signal on the basis of an MMSE weight matrix. The reception apparatus divides the estimated transmission signal for respective reception antennas and performs an IFFT. The reception apparatus estimates and compensates for phase noise for the respective reception antennas on the basis of the signal for which the IFFT has been performed. The reception apparatus demodulates the estimated and compensated signal for respective streams.

Certain aspects relate to methods and apparatus for wireless communication. The apparatus generally includes a first interface configured to output one first frame for transmission to solicit CSI feedback from each of one or more first wireless nodes associated with a first BSS and from each of one or more second wireless nodes associated with a second BSS, a second interface configured to obtain the CSI feedback solicited from the first and second wireless nodes, and a processing system configured to generate data frames for the first wireless nodes based on the CSI feedback solicited from the first wireless nodes, and one or more nulling frames based on the CSI feedback solicited from the second wireless nodes. The first interface is configured to simultaneously output the data frames for beamformed transmission to the first wireless nodes, and the nulling frames for beamformed transmission to the second wireless nodes.

Based on the receipt of a demodulation reference signal from a user equipment, a determination can be made by the network node that a demodulation reference signal configuration is not suitable for the condition of a transmission link between the network node and the user equipment. In response to this determination, the demodulation reference signal configuration can be modified.

Examples described herein include systems and methods which include wireless devices and systems with examples of full duplex compensation with a self-interference noise calculator. The self-interference noise calculator may be coupled to antennas of a wireless device and configured to generate adjusted signals that compensate self-interference. The self-interference noise calculator may include a network of processing elements configured to combine transmission signals into sets of intermediate results. Each set of intermediate results may be summed in the self-interference noise calculator to generate a corresponding adjusted signal. The adjusted signal is received by a corresponding wireless receiver to compensate for the self-interference noise generated by a wireless transmitter transmitting on the same frequency band as the wireless receiver is receiving.

A wireless power transmitter can receive the results of a characterizing signal transmitted by the wireless power receiver, compute at least two parameters of a model characterizing an in-band communications channel based on the received results of the characterizing signal transmitted by the wireless power receiver, compute a plurality of equalizing filter taps from the at least two parameters, and apply the computed equalizing filter to subsequent signals received by the wireless power transmitter via the in-band communications channel. A first parameter can correspond to a time constant of the channel, and a second parameter can correspond to a damping value of the communications channel. The wireless power transmitter can transmit to a wireless power receiver a request to transmit a characterizing signal through the in-band communication channel, wherein the characterizing signal transmitted by the wireless power receiver is sent in response to the transmitted request.

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.

A first radio signal is received that was transmitted from a first antenna at a transmitter and a second radio signal transmitted from a second antenna at the transmitter different from the first antenna. The first radio signal is converted to a first orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) frame signal, and the second radio signal is converted to a second OFDM frame signal. The first OFDM frame signal includes a grid of multiple frequency subcarriers and time periods, each time period with the frequency carriers corresponding to a first OFDM symbol such that the first OFDM frame includes first OFDM symbols. A first OFDM symbol is carried on frequency subcarriers during a time period, and the first OFDM frame includes first reference OFDM symbols located at corresponding time-frequency resource elements in the grid. Each resource element is defined by a one of the frequency subcarriers and one of the time periods. The second OFDM frame signal is similar and includes second reference OFDM symbols sharing the same grid of frequency subcarriers and time periods as the first OFDM frame. But the second reference OFDM symbols are located at corresponding time-frequency resource elements in the grid different than the corresponding time-frequency resource elements to which the first reference OFDM signals are located their respective OFDM frame signals. The first and second reference OFDM symbols are used to demodulate the first and second OFDM frame signals.

The present disclosure relates to a network node having a processor and a transceiver. The processor is configured to select at least one user device if a Channel Estimation Timer (CET) for a radio channel between the network node and the at least one user device is valid, and to schedule data transmission to the at least one selected user device. The transceiver is configured to perform the scheduled data transmission to the at least one selected user device. The present disclosure also describes a corresponding method, a wireless communication system including such a network node, a computer program, and a computer program product.

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for canceling and/or suppressing inter-cell interference in a wireless communication. The method includes: establishing a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection with a base station through a first serving cell; receiving, at a User Equipment (UE), an RRC message through the first serving cell, the RRC message comprising cell-specific reference signal (CRS) information of a neighbor cell and Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) information of the neighbor cell, and the PDSCH information of the neighbor cell comprising a parameter relating to a power ratio of a CRS of the neighbor cell and a PDSCH of the neighbor cell; receiving the PDSCH through the first serving cell; performing a channel estimation for retrieving data from a PDSCH of the first serving cell; and retrieving the data from the PDSCH of the first serving cell based on the second channel estimation.

Provided are a method and an apparatus for transmitting or receiving a downlink reference signal. A cell-specific downlink reference signal (CRS) is transmitted in a partial frequency band of the entire downlink frequency band. Configuration information of the CRS transmitted in the partial frequency band is provided to user equipment. The CRS transmitted in the partial frequency band may be used in downlink channel measurement alone or together with a legacy CRS.
