A method for receiving a WLAN data transmission includes receiving, at a first WLAN device from a remote WLAN device, a WLAN transmission including first bits that are modulated and encoded using a first MCS associated with a first modulation scheme and a first FEC coding rate. First soft-decoding metrics are computed for the first bits. A WLAN retransmission corresponding to the WLAN transmission is received. The WLAN retransmission includes second bits that are modulated and encoded using a second MCS associated with a second modulation scheme and a second FEC coding rate, the second MCS having better error performance than the first MCS. Second soft-decoding metrics are computed for the second bits. The first soft-decoding metrics and the second soft-decoding metrics are combined, to produce combined soft-decoding metrics. Data carried by the WLAN transmission is reconstructed by applying FEC decoding to the combined soft-decoding metrics.

A communication interface receives data points including link quality and link usage measurements related to a mobile computing device associated with the wireless network during a sampling interval. A processing device weights each data point based on at least one metric included in the link quality measurement and associated with a link usage measurement. Each weighted data point is evaluated against one or more thresholds. A weighted data point is discarded based on a result of the threshold comparison or assigned to one of a plurality of link quality bins based on a consolidated measure of the link quality measurements. A coverage quality score is computed based on a ratio of a total count of weighted link quality measurements in at least one of the plurality of link quality bins to a total count of weighted link quality measurements in all of the link quality bins.

A method and an apparatus for uplink transmission control are disclosed. According to an embodiment, a base station determines a channel metric for indicating uplink channel condition between the base station and a terminal device. The base station determines an uplink transmission format that is to be used for an initial transmission from the terminal device, based on the channel metric such that a spectrum efficiency for the initial transmission can be maximized.

Systems and methods are disclosed for modulating wireless signals in 5G (and future 6G) networks, to mitigate faults from noise or interference, optimize reliability, and enhance message throughput, according to some embodiments. Versions may include modulation tables for phase and amplitude modulation of message symbols in which the number of amplitude levels is different from the number of phase levels. Alternatively, the number of amplitude levels and/or phase levels may be other than a power of two. Other versions may provide a non-uniform spacing of amplitude levels or phase levels for optimal SNR throughout. Specific modulation states of the modulation table may be excluded, or declared invalid for signaling, thereby increasing the noise immunity of the remaining valid states. Embodiments of the disclosed modulation tables can provide improved signal clarity, fewer dropped messages, fewer retransmit requests, higher throughput, faster uploads and downloads, and more satisfied wireless customers overall.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify combinations of modulation and coding schemes and resource block allocations that are associated with non-self-decodable codes. The UE may select a combination of a modulation and coding scheme and a resource block allocation based at least in part on the combinations of modulation and coding schemes and resource block allocations that are associated with non-self-decodable codes. The UE may transmit data over the physical channel in a communication generated using the selected combination of the modulation and coding scheme and the resource block allocation.

The first STA may transmit, based on the first configuration, a plurality of copies of the frame simultaneously over the available channels.

Various arrangements for performing transmodulation of a forward feeder link are presented. A first data stream and a second data stream can be modulated into a higher-order modulation forward feeder link having a higher-order digital modulation scheme. A satellite can receive the higher-order modulation forward feeder link. The satellite can demodulate the higher-order modulator forward feeder link into a bit stream. This bit stream may then be remodulated and retransmitted as multiple forward user links.
