A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) is configured to determine a frequency location of a reduced frequency bandwidth within a full system frequency bandwidth for an uplink transmission. The reduced frequency bandwidth is based on a received MTC physical downlink control channel. The WTRU is configured to determine a frequency location of an uplink resource in a first subframe based on at least one of a subframe number of the first subframe, a transmission repetition number associated with the first subframe, or a coverage enhancement level of the WTRU. The WTRU is configured to send a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission in the uplink resource in the first subframe in a same frequency location in both slots of the first subframe. A format of the PUCCH transmission is limited to a subset of PUCCH formats available for a WTRU operating in the full system frequency bandwidth.

A method for the OTFS coded transmission of data. To improve the bit error rate for transmission of OTFS-coded signals that are processed based on integer Doppler shifts, the guard interval is expanded over the complete Doppler dimension or, alternatively, the guard interval extends over the complete delay dimension of the OTFS-coded frame in situations of either large Doppler shifts or large delays, especially as the quadruple of the Doppler shifts approaches or exceeds the extension of the Doppler domain in the OTFS frame or twice the delay delays approach or exceeds the extension of the delay domain in the OTFS frame.

The present specification discloses an invention relating to a method for transmitting an MTC physical downlink control channel (MPDCCH) by a base station in a wireless communication system supporting machine type communication (MTC). According to the present invention, a base station transmits, to a terminal, configuration information related to the transmission of an MPDCCH and maps the MPDCCH onto multiple resource elements (REs) of at least one first symbol constituting a first slot of a special subframe. The special subframe is a subframe in which, among symbols constituting the subframe, the number of symbols for data transmission is smaller than or equal to a predetermined number. The base station transmits the MPDCCH to the terminal over the multiple resource elements, wherein the mapping step is performed by copying at least one second symbol of a second slot adjacent to the first slot onto the at least one first symbol.

Disclosed are a method and system for acquiring massive MIMO beam domain statistical channel information. A refined beam domain channel model involved in the disclosed method is based on a refined sampling steering vector matrix. Compared with a traditional DFT matrix-based beam domain channel model, when antenna size is limited, said model is closer to a physical channel model, and provides a model basis for solving the problem of the universality of massive MIMO for various typical mobile scenarios under a constraint on antenna size. The present invention provides a method for acquiring massive MIMO refined beam domain a priori statistical channel information and a posteriori statistical channel information, the a posteriori statistical channel information comprising mean and variance information of the a posteriori channel. The method of the present invention has low complexity, can be applied to an actual massive MIMO system, provides support for a robust precoding transmission method, and has large application value.
