Methods and apparatuses in a wireless communication system. A method of operating a base station (BS) includes receiving a set of uplink signals; estimating, based on a subset of the set of uplink signals, uplink channels; estimating a timing offset (TO) and a frequency offset (FO) for a subset of the estimated uplink channels; compensating, based on the estimated TO and FO, the subset of the estimated uplink channels to generate TO and FO compensated uplink channel estimates; and generating channel prediction information based on the compensated subset of the estimated uplink channels.

The present disclosure provides a terminal capable of efficiently transmitting data of different services. In this terminal (200), a controller (209) determines a transmission operation of a first transmission, corresponding to a first service, and a second transmission, corresponding to a second service, based on the first transmission and a setting of a reference signal included in the second transmission. A transmitter (216) transmits an uplink signal including at least a signal of the first transmission based on the determined transmission operation.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for sounding reference signal (SRS) resource configuration enhancements. A method generally receiving pre-configuration information for one or more reference signal transmissions, performing, at a first time during an ON duration of a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle, measurements on one or more reference signals based, at least in part, on the pre-configuration information, determining if, at a second time during the ON duration after the first time, a trigger frame associated with the one or more reference signal transmissions has been received, and transmitting a measurement report corresponding to the measurements if a trigger frame has been received.

The present disclosure provides techniques for bandwidth constrained communication systems with frequency domain information processing. A bandwidth constrained equalized transport (BCET) communication system can include a transmitter, a communication channel, and a receiver. The transmitter can include a pulse-shaping filter that intentionally introduces memory into a signal in the form of inter-symbol interference, an error control code (ECC) encoder, a multidimensional fast Fourier transform (FFT) processing block that processes the signal in the frequency domain, and a first interleaver. The receiver can include an information-retrieving equalizer, a deinterleaver with an ECC decoder, and a second interleaver joined in an iterative ECC decoding loop. The communication system can be bandwidth constrained, and the signal can comprise an information rate that is higher than that of a communication system without intentional introduction of the memory at the transmitter.

Aspects presented herein may enable a wireless device to use periodic reserved resources to serve aperiodic traffic over sidelink. In one aspect, a wireless device reserves a set of periodic resources for sidelink transmission, where the reserved set of periodic resources include reserved resources for SCI and reserved resources for data. The wireless device transmits SCI without a data transmission in a periodic resource for the period. In another aspect, a first wireless device receives a reservation from a second wireless device for a set of periodic resources for sidelink transmission. The first wireless device receives, from the second wireless device, SCI in a period of the periodic resources, the SCI including an indication that the SCI is not associated with a data transmission.

A method for first path acceptance for secure ranging includes determining a Channel Impulse Response (CIR) of a communication channel for a plurality of channel taps. Each channel tap corresponds to a respective one of a plurality of time slots of the CIR, wherein the CIR includes a plurality of estimated CIR values. A statistical characteristic is extracted from the estimated CIR values within a temporal range of the channel taps. The statistical characteristic is compared to a reference value to detect a distance decreasing attack.

An access node, user equipment, apparatuses, methods, and computer programs for a communication system. An apparatus for a wireless transmitter device includes a transmitter module for transmitting wireless transmissions and a processing module, which controls the transmitter module. The processing module generates one or more transmit symbols in a Delay-Doppler domain to obtain a Delay-Doppler representation; transforms the Delay-Doppler representation into a Time-Frequency domain to obtain a Time-Frequency representation, the Time-Frequency representation having a first bandwidth and a first duration; adds pilot symbols to the Time-Frequency representation to obtain a Time-Frequency representation with an extended second bandwidth or an extended second duration; transforms the Time-Frequency representation with the extended second bandwidth or the extended second duration to the time domain to obtain a time domain representation; and transmits the time domain representation to a wireless receiver device.

This application provides a channel sounding method and apparatus. The method includes: A first communication device sends a first frame to a second communication device, where the first frame is used to indicate the second communication device to perform channel sounding on a part of antennas of the first communication device. The first communication device sends a second frame to the second communication device, where the second frame is used by the second communication device to perform channel sounding on the part of antennas. The first communication device receives a third frame from the second communication device, where the third frame is used to indicate a result of performing channel sounding on the part of antennas.

Systems and methods for dynamic use of remote units in a wireless communications system (WCS) include a digital routing unit (DRU) that sums incoming (uplink) signals from the remote units that have active user equipment, while suppressing signals from the remote units that do not have active user equipment. Similarly, the DRU only sends outgoing (downlink) signals to the remote units that have active user equipment. The selective summing of uplink signals improves the gain at the DRU, which allows optimization of the dynamic range of the DRU. Likewise, by selectively sending streams to the remote units, power consumption at the remote units may be reduced, which may allow for smaller, less expensive remote units to be deployed.

The present invention provides a method of reporting, by a UE, CSI in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving, from a base station, a RRC signaling that comprises a plurality of reporting settings, wherein each reporting setting comprises a corresponding list of first values representing time offsets for transmitting a CSI report, forming a plurality of lists of first values; receiving, from the base station, DCI triggering the CSI report, wherein the DCI comprises an index value related to a time at which to transmit the CSI report on a PUSCH; determining, based on the DCI, a plurality of list entries; determining a second value that is largest among the plurality of list entries; and transmitting, to the base station, the CSI report on the PUSCH based on the second value.
