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.

A method for differentiating multiple Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) transmission schemes. In a non-limiting example, the PDSCH transmission schemes include a spatial multiplexing transmission scheme, a frequency multiplexing transmission scheme, a slot-based time multiplexing transmission scheme, and a mini-slot-based time multiplexing transmission scheme. In examples discussed herein, a User Equipment (UE) can be configured to differentiate the PDSCH transmission schemes based on information indicated in Downlink Control Information (DCI) for scheduling a PDSCH transmission, information signaled to the UE via a higher layer configuration, and/or capability signaling indicated from the UE to a network. By differentiating the PDSCH transmission schemes, the UE can efficiently receive a data transmission(s) from multiple Transmission/Reception Points (TRPs).

A transmitter in a wireless communication network comprises a Carrier Interferometry (CI) coder and a multicarrier modulator communicatively coupled to the CI coder. The CI coder encodes a plurality of data symbols with a plurality of CI codes to produce a plurality of CI symbol values, wherein each of the plurality of CI symbol values equals a sum of information-modulated CI code chips. Each information-modulated CI code chip equals a CI code chip multiplied by one of the plurality of data symbols. The modulator modulates each CI symbol value onto a different subcarrier frequency to produce a multicarrier signal.

This application discloses a DMRS indicating method, a DMRS receiving method, and an apparatus. The method includes: determining, by a transmit end from a plurality of groups of demodulation reference signal DMRS configuration information, DMRS configuration information corresponding to a current DMRS transmission scheme, and obtaining DMRS indication information based on the DMRS configuration information, where each group of DMRS configuration information includes a plurality of pieces of DMRS configuration information; and sending, by the transmit end, the DMRS indication information. The method and the apparatus provided in this application are implemented to match a plurality of scenarios in NR. This can satisfy a requirement for transmitting more layers of data, and can further reduce indication overheads.

User equipment (UE) applies a first code division multiplex access (CDMA) code to a baseband signal to generate a first signal, and a second CDMA code to the baseband signal to generate a second signal. The UE then transmits the first signal to a receiving device via a first antenna, and the second signal to the receiving device via a second antenna. The receiving device receives the first and second signals as a combined signal at an antenna, and extracts the first signal from the combined signal using the first CDMA code, and extracts the second signal from the combined signal using the second CDMA code. The CDMA codes may be real-valued or complex-valued. In some embodiments, the UE may separate the baseband signals into first and second portions, and transmit the first portion as part of the first signal and the second portion as part of the second signal.

A PTRS processing method includes: receiving, by a terminal, first indication information and second indication information from a network device, where the first indication information is used to indicate a time-domain location at which a PTRS is to be sent by the terminal, and the second indication information is used to indicate an offset of an initial time-domain location to which the PTRS is mapped by the terminal; mapping, by the terminal, the PTRS to one or more DFT-s-OFDM symbols based on the first indication information and the second indication information; and sending, by the terminal, the one or more DFT-s-OFDM symbols. In this way, the PTRS mapped to the DFT-s-OFDM symbol is offset at a DFT-s-OFDM symbol level.

This application provides example scrambling-based data transmission methods and apparatuses. A scrambling manner is determined based on a sending waveform. The scrambling manner can include frequency domain scrambling, time domain scrambling, or time-frequency domain scrambling. To-be-scrambled data can be scrambled based on the scrambling manner, to obtain scrambled output data. The scrambled output data can be sent. The sending waveform can be a discrete Fourier transform spreading orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM) waveform or a cyclic prefix orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CP-OFDM) waveform.

Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) receives a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource configuration, the SRS resource configuration indicating at least a comb pattern for at least one SRS resource allocated to the UE and a puncturing unit for the comb pattern, wherein the comb pattern is divided into one or more puncturing units, wherein each puncturing unit comprises one or more time units of the comb pattern, and wherein each of the one or more time units comprises two or more symbols, and refrains from transmitting all SRS transmissions of the at least one SRS resource within a first puncturing unit of the one or more puncturing units based on a determination that one or more SRS transmissions of the at least one SRS resource within the first puncturing unit are to be dropped.

When a terminal generates an uplink signal in a communication system, the terminal hops a sequence for differentiating itself from another terminal with time. The terminal generates the uplink signal by multiplying a transmission symbol by a sequence of a transmission time corresponding to the transmission symbol.

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.
