Embodiments relate to the field of wireless communication technologies and provide a method for performing channel sounding, a network-side device, and a terminal. A first terminal sends a resource scheduling request to a network-side device when the first terminal starts a communication connection with a second terminal. The resource scheduling request carrying information about the second terminal requests the network-side device to allocate a transmission resource for channel sounding between the first terminal and the second terminal. The first terminal receives a sounding reference signal sent by the second terminal, and obtains information of a channel for communication between the first terminal and the second terminal. The method enables quick and effective channel sounding between terminals, thereby increasing communication efficiency between the terminals.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first communication circuit, a second communication circuit, and at least one processor. The first communication circuit is configured to receive, in a first band, a first reflective signal reflected by an object, and obtain, based on the received first reflective signal, a first channel impulse response corresponding to the first reflective signal. The second communication circuit is configured to receive, in a second band, a second reflective signal reflected by the object, obtain, based on the received second reflective signal, a second channel impulse response corresponding to the second reflective signal, and obtain a third channel impulse response based on a first calculation using the second channel impulse response, a first central frequency of the first band and a second central frequency of the second band.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a user equipment (UE) may be configured to transmit two or more consecutive transmissions that may be used for demodulation reference signal (DMRS) bundling. If criteria for DMRS bundling are not satisfied, the UE may generate dummy data to transmit during the skipped configured grant occasion, and may maintain phase continuity across the skipped configured grant occasion and any other PUSCHs in a set of uplink transmissions. In some examples, the UE may deprioritize DMRS bundling for sets of PUSCHs during which a PUSCH is to be skipped. If criteria for DMRS bundling are not satisfied, the UE may not maintain phase continuity across the set of PUSCHs, and may refrain from transmitting any data during the CG-PUSCH occasion.

A method for channel estimation includes: performing channel estimation using all DM-RSs in N continuous repeated CORESETs, where N is a positive integer greater than 1; in which the N continuous repeated CORESETs correspond to the same frequency domain resource and/or the same precoding matrix.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for enhanced DM-RS configuration. One apparatus in a mobile communication network includes a processor and a transceiver that receives a first indication of a configuration for Demodulation Reference Signal (“DM-RS”), where the DM-RS configuration includes a plurality of DM-RS configuration types. The transceiver also receives a second indication to autonomously switch among the plurality of DM-RS configuration types based on a configured subcarrier spacing value for a channel. The processor performs single channel estimation from multiple indicated antenna ports using the DM-RS configuration.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method of receiving DCI by a UE includes receiving bundling information regarding REGs via higher layer signaling, performing blind detection for a PDCCH in a CORESET configured on a plurality of OFDM symbols, and acquiring DCI from the PDCCH. When the bundling information indicates a first value, the UE may perform bundling such that only REGs locating on a same RB and corresponding to different OFDM symbols in the CORESET, are bundled as 1 REG bundle, and when the bundling information indicates a second value, the UE may perform bundling such that the REGs locating on the same RB and corresponding to the different OFDM symbols are bundled as 1 REG bundle along with REGs locating on different RBs in the CORESET, and the UE may perform the blind detection of the PDCCH by assuming same precoding for REGs belonging to a same REG bundle as a result of REG bundling.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A transmitting device (e.g., a user equipment (UE) or base station) may reduce a peak to average power ratio (PAPR) by clipping signals transmitted to a receiving device according to a clipping level. The receiving device may receive, from the transmitting device, an indication of the clipping level associated with a reference signal. The receiving device may receive the reference signal and identify distortions based on the clipping level. The receiving device may iteratively reconstruct peaks of the clipped reference signal until the receiving device is able to obtain accurate pilot symbols for use in channel estimation. The techniques described herein may enable receiving devices to improve efficiency and reliability of communications by improving channel estimation, which may increase the probability of successfully decoding transmitted information.

Methods and systems for adjusting reference signal reporting based on path loss and fading and cell edge conditions experienced by wireless devices in 5G EN-DC networks. As the path loss increases, a period between reference signal reports (or a frequency of reference signal reports) can be increased. This ensures continued quality of service for the wireless devices. Reference signals can include SRS, DMRS, PTRS, etc.

A distributed base station system comprises a remote radio unit, RRU, and a base band unit, BBU, connected to the RRU over a fronthaul link, the RRU being connected to N antennas. The method comprising by the RRU: obtaining uplink signals as received at the N antennas from a number of User Equipment, UEs, wirelessly connected to the RRU; obtaining a channel estimation matrix of the wireless communication channels; determining an interference covariance estimation matrix based on the obtained channel estimation matrix and on other channel information different from the channel estimation matrix; sending information on the channel estimation matrix and on the interference covariance estimation matrix to the BBU; determining intermediate signals based on the uplink signals, the channel estimation matrix and the interference covariance estimation matrix, and sending the intermediate signals to the BBU.

A terminal and a method performed by the terminal are provided for use in a wireless communication system. The method includes receiving configuration information associated with a sounding reference signal (SRS) through higher layer signaling; receiving first DL control information (DCI); and transmitting, based on the first DCI, the SRS in an available slot from a reference slot.
