A method and apparatus for generation of orthogonal training signals for transmission in an antenna array are described. In this embodiment, a set of P training signals is generated. The generation of the P training signals includes generating a first set of Zadoff-Chu sequences, where the first set of sequences is based on a first reference Zadoff-Chu sequence and first subsequent Zadoff-Chu sequences, where each one of the first subsequent Zadoff-Chu sequences is a cyclic shift of the first reference Zadoff-Chu sequence. A second set of sequences is generated based on a second reference sequence and second subsequent sequences that are cyclic shift of the second reference sequence. The P training signals are determined based on the first set of sequences and the second set of sequences. The training signals are then transmitted through a plurality of transmit paths of a base station towards a wireless network.

New sequences have been proposed and/or adopted for short Physical Uplink Control Channel communications between base stations and UEs. In an exemplary embodiment, a UE communicates with a base station based on sequence groups that include the new sequences, where the new sequences are allocated to different sequence groups based, at least in part, on correlations with other existing sequences included in individual sequence groups.

Embodiments herein provide techniques for transmission of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) in a wireless cellular network. For example, transmission schemes are provided for sequence-based transmission of a PUCCH and/or to improve PUCCH coverage. User equipment (UE) may: determine uplink control information (DCI) payload information for the PUCCH with a PUCCH format 1; determine a sequence for transmission of the PUCCH based on the UCI payload information; and map the determined sequence to allocated resources for the PUCCH format 1 for transmission.

A method is provided for detecting an access zone configuration of a downlink wireless transmission received from a wireless network by a receiver. The method includes steps of activating the receiver, synchronizing the receiver with the wireless network, detecting, by the receiver after the step of synchronizing, a received access zone of the downlink wireless transmission, determining a base symbol of the detected access zone, ascertaining a first gap and a second gap from repetitive information contained within the determined base symbol, concluding, from the ascertained first and second gaps, that the detected access zone is part of a multiple access zone configuration, and registering, after the step of concluding, the receiver with the wireless network.

Resource selection for communication of uplink control information may include determining cyclic shift ramping for resource block (RB) sets. A user equipment UE) may use one or more RB sets for transmitting uplink control information on a shared radio frequency spectrum such as an unlicensed band. In some examples, the UE may transmit uplink control information to a base station (BS) via consecutive RB sets. To this end, the BS may schedule consecutive RB sets for an uplink transmission by the wireless communication device and monitor each of these RB sets for uplink control information.

It is possible to improve the CQI reception performance even when a delay is caused in a propagation path, a transmission timing error is caused, or a residual interference is generated between cyclic shift amounts of different ZC sequences. For the second symbol and the sixth symbol of the ACK/NACK signal which are multiplexed by RS of CQI, (+, +) or (−, −) is applied to a partial sequence of the Walsh sequence. For RS of CQI transmitted from a mobile station, + is added as an RS phase of the second symbol and − is added as an RS phase of the sixth symbol. A base station (100) receives multiplexed signals of ACK/NACK signals and CQI signals transmitted from a plurality of mobile stations. An RS synthesis unit (119) performs synthesis by aligning the RS phase of CQI.

A random access preamble sequence generation method and user equipment are provided. The method includes the following: when receiving first notification signaling sent by a base station, determining, by UE, to calculate a cyclic shift value by using a first solution; obtaining a first logical root sequence number, and determining a root sequence based on the first logical root sequence number; and generating a random access preamble sequence based on the root sequence and the cyclic shift value, where the first solution is a solution of calculating the cyclic shift value when a Doppler shift of the UE is less than a first preset value and greater than a second preset value, the first preset value is less than twice of a physical random access channel (PRACH) subcarrier spacing, the second preset value is greater than the PRACH subcarrier spacing.

Wireless communications systems and methods related to communicating control information are provided. A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE) may include mapping a power reservation signal of a sub-slot resource pool (RP) to an AGC symbol location of a slot RP and transmitting, to at least one other UE, the power reservation signal, wherein a transmit power level of the power reservation signal is based on an estimated transmit power level associated with at least one sub-slot.
