A data transmission method includes: A slave node transmits first data to a master node on a first time domain resource in a first time domain resource unit by using a first frequency domain resource. The slave node transmits second data in the target service to the master node on a third time domain resource in a second time domain resource unit using a second frequency domain resource. The first time domain resource unit is adjacent to the second time domain resource unit in a time domain. The first time domain resource unit sequentially includes, in the time domain, the first time domain resource, a first guard period, a second time domain resource, and a second guard period. The second time domain resource unit sequentially includes, in the time domain, the third time domain resource, a third guard period, a fourth time domain resource, and a fourth guard period.

This application provides a method and an apparatus for determining a frequency-domain offset, a communication device, and a readable storage medium. The method includes: detecting a synchronization signal block SSB; and determining, based on a first indicator field and/or a second indicator field in the SSB, a frequency-domain offset of the SSB with respect to a common resource block raster, where the first indicator field is an SSB frequency-domain offset indicator field, and the second indicator field is part or all of at least one indicator field different from the first indicator field.

A terminal according to one embodiment of the present invention determines and reports a specific codebook-based HARQ-ACK on the basis of the result of receiving a plurality of PDSCHs, and, on the basis of a first-type codebook-based HARQ-ACK having been set for scheduling of the plurality of PDSCHs, the terminal can perform first start symbol and length indicator value (SLIV) pruning on the basis of a set of the SLIVs of PDSCHs, which can be potentially scheduled on each slot of a bundling window determined on the basis of a plurality of candidate PDSCH-to-HARQ feedback timing values, and perform second SLIV pruning on the basis of a set of the SLIVs of PDSCHs, which can be potentially scheduled even on at least one slot that does not belong to the bundling window.

A method related to physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) cell switching and a user equipment (UE) are provided. The method includes: receiving a radio resource control (RRC) message from a base station; determining a PUCCH cell from the first cell and the second cell according to at least one PUCCH cell pattern; and transmitting the PUCCH transmission on the PUCCH cell during the time resource units. The RRC message includes at least one PUCCH cell pattern associated with multiple cell indexes and a first subcarrier spacing (SCS) associated with a first cell and a second SCS associated with a second cell. Each cell index corresponds to a cell, and the PUCCH cell pattern indicates which cell corresponds to one time resource unit used for PUCCH transmission.

A (repeater) node may identify a first indication of a waveform switch associated with a first link between a base station and the node or a second link between the node and a UE. A waveform switch associated with the first link may be triggered by the base station or the node. A waveform switch associated with the second link may be triggered by the node or the UE. The waveform switch may correspond to a first switch from an OFDM waveform to an SC waveform or a second switch from the SC waveform to the OFDM waveform. The base station may transmit, to the node, an indication of a post-waveform switch resource mapping between a first waveform associated with the first link and a second waveform associated with the second link. The node may execute the waveform switch associated with the first link or the second link.

The guard-space reference disclosed herein is a signal transmitted in the guard spaces separating message data intervals, and configured to reveal amplitude noise or phase noise or both, using 5G or 6G technology. For example, the transmitter can transmit an I-branch with a predetermined amplitude level, and an orthogonal Q branch with zero amplitude, in the guard space. The receiver can measure the received amplitude and phase of the guard-space reference, subtract the initial amplitude and phase, and thereby measure both phase noise and amplitude noise. The receiver can then subtract the measured amplitude and phase effects from the message data, thereby negating both phase noise and amplitude noise. Guard-space references disclosed herein can preserve the inter-subcarrier orthogonality, inter-symbol separation, and signal circularity advantages of prior art, while additionally providing both amplitude noise and phase noise mitigation. Examples are suitable for wireless standards.

The present disclosure relates to a communication technique for fusing, with an IoT technology, a 5G communication system for supporting a higher data transfer rate than a 4G system, and a system therefor.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first device may receive a first reference signal from a second device and may generate a channel status feedback message based on the first reference signal. The first device may bundle the second reference signal and the channel status feedback message and may transmit the second reference signal and the channel status feedback to the second device. The first device may initiate a data transfer with the second device based on transmitting the second reference signal and the channel status feedback message.

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for feeder link data transport are provided. For example, baseband in-phase and quadrature (IQ) data may be processed at the transmitter and receiver of the feeder link. The orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) waveform used in a beam may be modified for transmission over the feeder link. For example, the waveform may have a wider subcarrier spacing (SCS) and may fill an enlarged bandwidth than otherwise with a feeder link.

According to certain embodiments, a method in a network node (100A) for determining spectrum utilization for a plurality of numerologies transmitted within an allocated bandwidth includes selecting one or more of the plurality of numerologies. For each of the one or more selected numerologies, a spectrum utilization is determined. The spectrum utilization is based on the spectrum utilization that would be achieved if the selected numerology was transmitted across the allocated bandwidth. A physical resource block (PRB) allocation is calculated based on the allocated bandwidth and the spectrum utilization.
