Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for performing communications using a bonded channel across multiple channels.

Embodiments of a device and method are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method of wireless communications involves at a receiver, receiving a first packet, subsequently, at the receiver, receiving a second packet, and determining whether the second packet is a repetition of the first packet based on wireless communications channel estimation information associated with the first and second packets.

Methods and apparatus for decoding received uplink transmissions. In an embodiment, a method includes receiving a stream having data LLRs and second channel state information (CSI2) LLRs, and separating the data LLRs into a data stream and the CSI2 LLRs into a CSI2 stream based on configuration parameters. The method also includes decoding the data stream to generate decoded data, and decoding the CSI2 stream to generate decoded CSI2 information. An apparatus includes a first LLR preprocessor that receives a stream having data LLRs and second channel state information (CSI2) LLRs and separates the data LLRs into a data stream, and a second LLR preprocessor that receives the stream and separates the CSI2 LLRs into a CSI2 stream. The apparatus also includes a data decoder that decodes the data stream to generate decoded data, and a CSI2 decoder that decodes the CSI2 stream to generate decoded CSI2 information.

A receiver may include a first filter configured to generate a first estimation of a symbol of a received signal and a second filter configured to generate a second estimation of the symbol of the received signal. The receiver may also include a decoder configured to decode the symbol using one of the first estimation and the second estimation and a decision circuitconfigured to select one of the first estimation and the second estimation to provide to the decoder for decoding of the symbol based on a comparison of the first estimation to an estimation threshold.

Provided is an optical transmission device including: a symbol demapping unit; a likelihood generation circuit configured to generate likelihoods relating to the reception signal; and an error correction decoding unit configured to execute soft decision decoding. The likelihood generation circuit includes: a first one-dimensional-modulation lookup table configured to input the signal of the I-axis component as an argument to output a first likelihood; a second one-dimensional-modulation lookup table configured to input the signal of the Q-axis component as an argument to output a second likelihood; and a two-dimensional-modulation lookup table configured to input, as an argument, the signal being the concatenation of the signal of the I-axis component and the signal of the Q-axis component, to generate a third likelihood. The error correction decoding unit is configured to execute the soft decision decoding based on the first likelihood, the second likelihood, and the third likelihood.

Bayesian Inference based communication receiver employs Markov-Chain Monte-Carlo (MCMC) sampling for performing several of the main receiver functionalities. The channel estimator estimates the multipath channel coefficients corresponding to a signal received with fading. The symbol demodulator demodulates the received signal according to a QAM constellation, so as to generate a demodulated signal, and estimate the transmitted symbols. The decoder reliably decodes the demodulated signals to generate an output bit sequence, factoring in redundancy induced at a certain code rate. A universal sampler may be configured to use MCMC sampling for generating estimates of channel coefficients, transmitted symbols or decoder bits, for aforementioned functionalities, respectively. The samples may then be used in one or more of the receiver tasks: channel estimation, signal demodulation, and decoding, which leads to a more scalable, reusable, power/area efficient receiver.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for wireless communication. In one aspect, a method may be performed by a wireless device such as a user equipment (UE) and generally includes: receiving at least one downlink (DL) signal from one or more base stations or transmitting at least one uplink (UL) positioning reference signal (PRS), the received at least one DL signal comprising: at least one DL PRS, at least one synchronization signal block (SSB), at least one system information block (SIB), at least one other reference signal comprising a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), or a combination thereof, wherein at least one measurement is performed based, at least in part, on the received at least one DL signal or the transmitted at least one UL PRS; and performing at least one adjustment for random access based, at least in part, on the at least one measurement.

In one aspect, an apparatus includes: a fast Fourier transform (FFT) engine to receive and convert a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) samples into a plurality of frequency carriers; a detector coupled to the FFT engine to determine a channel estimate for a first frequency carrier using a first channel estimate for the first frequency carrier and a plurality of other channel estimates, each of the plurality of other channel estimates for one of a plurality of neighboring frequency carriers within an evaluation window, and determine a log likelihood ratio (LLR) for the first frequency carrier using the channel estimate for the first frequency carrier; and a decoder coupled to the detector to decode a first OFDM symbol comprising the first frequency carrier using the LLR for the first frequency carrier.

Transmission quality is improved in an environment in which direct waves dominate in a transmission method for transmitting a plurality of modulated signals from a plurality of antennas at the same time. All data symbols used in data transmission of a modulated signal are precoded by hopping between precoding matrices so that the precoding matrix used to precode each data symbol and the precoding matrices used to precode data symbols that are adjacent to the data symbol in the frequency domain and the time domain all differ. A modulated signal with such data symbols arranged therein is transmitted.

To provide demapping at a receiving side, a trained model for a demapper is used to output log-likelihood ratios of received signals representing data in a multi-user transmission. Inputs for the trained model for the demapper comprise a resource grid of equalized received signals.
