A non-coherent communication system in which a transmitting device does not transmit a pilot/DMRS, such that the receiving device may be configured to determine or decode the information received from the transmitting device without performing any channel estimation. An apparatus for wireless communication at a receiving device receives, from a transmitting device, a non-coherent signal having data. The apparatus may determine data from the received signal without performing a channel estimation. In another aspect, an apparatus at a transmitting device divides an information payload including a set of bits into multiple subsets of bits, maps each of the multiple subsets of bits into a respective sequence of complex symbols, generates a non-coherent transmission signal based on the respective sequences, and transmits the non-coherent transmission signal to a receiving device.

Certain disclosed methods, apparatus, and systems enable improved communication on a multiphase communication link through improved encoding techniques and protocol. A data communication apparatus has a plurality of line drivers configured to couple the apparatus to a 3-wire link, and a data encoder configured to encode at least 3 bits of binary data in each transition between two symbols that are consecutively transmitted by the plurality of line drivers over the 3-wire link such that each pair of consecutively-transmitted symbols comprises two different symbols. Each symbol defines signaling states of the 3-wire link during an associated symbol transmission interval such that each wire of the 3-wire link is in a different signaling state from the other wires of the 3-wire link during the associated symbol transmission interval. Data may be encoded using a combination of 3-phase and pulse amplitude modulation.
