Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may identify time and frequency resources for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) to be transmitted to a user equipment (UE) in a first transmission time interval (TTI). The base station may transmit configuration information for a control channel search space set in a second TTI. The second TTI may precede the first TTI. The configuration information may include an indication of an absence of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmission to send in the control channel search space set indicating the identified time and frequency resources for the PDSCH, and a set of time and frequency resources for the control channel search space set. The UE may receive the configuration information and identify the time and frequency resources allocated for the PDSCH in the second TTI, and receive the PDSCH transmission in the second TTI.

Disclosed is a method for variably changing a communication speed by a first device when a high-speed communication request within a range supported by the first device is input from a second device during low-speed communication of the first device with a third device in the UART communication and performing data communication with the second device at the varied high speed. A method for switching, by a device, a communication speed in an universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART)-based data communication includes: measuring, by an interrupt detection module of the device, a pulse width of a start bit using an interrupt signal; calculating, by a communication speed calculation module of the device, a communication speed using a time duration for which the measured pulse width is maintained; and switching, by a communication speed switching module of the device, a current communication speed of the device to the calculated communication speed.

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for managing or monitoring of the control channel in new radio (NR) through blind searches are provided. One method may include determining whether a channel estimation limit has been reached for a user equipment. When it is determined that the channel estimation limit has been reached, the method may include selecting blind decoding candidate(s) to be dropped from different control resource set(s) or search space set(s), and removing the selected blind decoding candidate(s) from a set of monitored candidates.

A method for receiving downlink control information by a terminal in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention may comprise the steps of: performing blind detection of a group-common physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a common search space (CSS) having a plurality of PDCCH candidates; and acquiring downlink control information (DCI) indicating a slot format from the group-common PDCCH acquired through the blind detection, wherein, in the blind detection of the group-common PDCCH, the terminal attempts to selectively detect the group-common PDCCH for only a PDCCH candidate at a predetermined position in the CSS having the plurality of PDCCH candidates.

Embodiments of this application provide a blind detection method. A terminal side device receives first indication information from a network side device, where the first indication information is used to determine at least one of N time units, a first time unit in the N time units corresponds to a type of terminal operation, the terminal operation is not performing a first operation, a second operation, and a third operation, the N time units belong to a same transmission time unit, and any one of the N time units includes at least one symbol, where N is an integer greater than 0. The terminal side device determines the N time units based on the first indication information, and performs the corresponding terminal operation in the first time unit in the N time units.

Embodiments described herein include methods and systems for measuring channel impulse responses in a digital communication system. Specifically, statistical properties of the received signals at the receiver of the digital communication system are analyzed to compute, in real time, channel coefficients indicative of the channel state information, which may be time-dependent, without the use of a training signal.

The present disclosures describes a communication method, a CMTS, and a CM. The communication method includes: sending, by a CMTS, a reference signal within a first time period by using a valid subcarrier in a first spectrum, where the first time period is a time period within which none of CMs connected to the CMTS sends a signal in the first spectrum; performing, by the CMTS based on an interfering signal received by the CMTS within the first time period, channel interference estimation on a channel that is used during signal reception of the CMTS and that occupies the first spectrum, where the interfering signal is a signal obtained after the reference signal passes through the channel; and canceling, by the CMTS based on a result of the channel interference estimation, interference from a first signal received by the CMTS to a second signal received by the CMTS.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide for use of a linear chirp signal as a basis for a sensing signal. Modification of the linear chirp signal by a signature function can allow a receiver of the sensing signal to determine an identity for a source of the sensing signal. Accordingly, upon processing the received sensing signal to obtain path parameter estimates, the receiver can direct a transmission of an indication of the path parameter estimates to the source of the sensing signal. Aspects of the present application relate to performing multi-node, multi-path channel estimation on the basis of processing the received sensing signal. Conveniently, the processing is performed with low complexity.

Techniques are described for wireless communication. A first method includes receiving a first orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol including a plurality of reference signals (RSs) over a radio frequency spectrum band. The first method may also include receiving a second OFDM symbol including a first synchronization signal over the radio frequency spectrum band. A second method includes transmitting a first OFDM symbol including a plurality of RSs over an radio frequency spectrum band. The second method may also include transmitting a second OFDM symbol including a first synchronization signal over the radio frequency spectrum band. In each method, a first portion of the first OFDM symbol includes a higher density of the RSs than a remaining portion of the first OFDM symbol, and when included, the second OFDM symbol may be adjacent in time to the first OFDM symbol.

A scheduled entity measures a power level of a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) prior to blind decoding a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidate associated with the DMRS. The scheduled entity performs blind decoding of the PDCCH candidate if the power level is above a predetermined threshold or foregoes blind decoding if the power level is below the predetermined threshold. A scheduling entity transmits a blind decoding configuration setting to the scheduled entity. The scheduling entity enables, via the blind decoding configuration setting, measurement, at the scheduled entity, of power levels of a plurality of DMRSs prior to blind decoding a plurality of respective PDCCH candidates associated with the plurality of DMRSs. Only PDCCH candidates associated with DMRSs having power levels that are above the predetermined threshold are blind decoded. A predetermined number of PDCCH candidates are scheduled for blind decoding. Blind decoding stops when the predetermined number is reached.
