To appropriately select a beam used in communication in an environment in which massive-MIMO beamforming is performed, there is provided a base station including: a communication unit configured to form multiple beams and perform communication with a terminal apparatus; and a control unit configured to transmit, to the terminal apparatus, first identification information of a group that is used in communication with the terminal apparatus among the first identification information allocated to groups each of which includes multiple beams to be formed.

There is disclosed a method of operating a transmitting radio node for a wireless communication network. The method includes transmitting synchronisation signaling in a synchronisation time interval, the synchronisation signaling comprising secondary synchronisation signaling, the secondary synchronisation signaling spanning two or more allocation units of the synchronisation time interval. The disclosure also pertains to related devices and methods.

Provided are methods and apparatuses for performing a random access of a terminal in a wireless communication system. A method, performed by a terminal, of performing a random access, according to an embodiment, includes receiving preamble configuration information from a base station, obtaining a RACH (random access channel) preamble scaled in length in proportion to a difference between an expected minimum distance and an expected maximum distance to the base station from opposed edges of a cell served by the base station, based on the preamble configuration information and transmitting the obtained RACH preamble to the base station to access a NTN (non-terrestrial network).

In order to address the needs of narrow band communication, eNB-based processing and/or UE-based processing is provided to achieve robust detection of cell ID and SFN timing location using NB-SSS. A base station constructs a NB-SSS signal using a root index of a Zadoff-Chu (ZC) sequence, a scrambling code, a cyclic shift or phase ramping sequence, and an interleaving sequence, wherein a combination of the ZC root index, the scrambling code index, the cyclic shift or phase ramping sequence index, and the interleaving sequence index signals information for a cell identifier (e.g., PCID) and frame timing. The ZC sequence used may be a long ZC sequence constructed to span a total number of tones allocated to an SSS sequence or may be a concatenation of multiple ZC sequences, wherein the concatenated ZC sequences span a total number of tones allocated to an SSS sequence.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method and system to generate a waveform in a communication network. The transmitter receives an input data and transmit a generated waveform to another communication system. The input data is spread with a spread code to generate a spread data and rotated using a constellation rotation operation to produce a rotated data. The rotated data is then precoded using precoding filter to produce a precoded data, and transformed into DFT output data using DFT operation. The DFT output data is then mapped with subcarriers to generate the sub-carrier mapped DFT data and modulated using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation to generate the waveform with low PAPR.

Communication in a wireless network using a phase-tracking reference signal (PT-RS) for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) includes determining one or more PT-RS groups of adjacent subcarriers in a resource allocation for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) or a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), encoding data to be transmitted by the PUSCH or the PDSCH in data subcarriers within the resource allocation for the PUSCH or the PDSCH, and encoding phase-tracking reference signals within the one or more PT-RS groups of adjacent subcarriers.

It is an object to provide a sequence allocating method that, while maintaining the number of Zadoff-Chu sequences to compose a sequence group, is configured to make it possible to reduce correlations between different sequential groups. This method comprises the steps of setting a standard sequence with a standard sequence length and a standard sequence number in a step, setting a threshold value in accordance with an RB number in a step, setting a sequence length corresponding to RB number in a step, judging whether ¦r/N-rb/Nb¦=Xth(m) is satisfied in a step, including a plurality of Zadoff-Chu sequences with a sequence number and a sequence length in a sequence group in a step if the judgment is positive, and allocating the sequence group to the same cell in a step.

When a plurality of the subcarrier spacing values are applied, a reference signal is generated by using a sequence having a sequence length corresponding to a first ratio of a first subcarrier spacing set for transmission data to the maximum settable subcarrier spacing. The sequence of the reference signal is mapped to a frequency resource at mapping intervals in accordance with a second ratio which is the reciprocal of the first ratio, and the transmission data and the reference signal are transmitted.

A method and an apparatus for generating a synchronization signal in the Internet of things. In the method for generating a synchronization signal, subcarrier mapping may be performed by exchanging a signal allocated to an upper subcarrier group and a signal allocated to a lower subcarrier group among all subcarriers allocated for the synchronization signal with each other, in an in-band operation mode or a guard band operation mode of the Internet of things.

A device and method in which plurality of Zadoff-Chu sequences is allocated to a frame, a value of a parameter in the Zadoff-Chu sequence is different among the plurality of Zadoff-Chu sequences, and the Zadoff-Chu sequence allocated to the frame is different among a plurality of cells.
