A terminal according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a control section that assumes that, in a case where time domain orthogonal cover code (TD-OCC) is configured for consecutive symbols of a sounding reference signal (SRS), the same sequence is configured to the consecutive symbols of the SRS, and a transmitting and/or receiving section that performs at least one of transmission processing and reception processing of the SRS, based on the TD-OCC. According to one aspect of the present disclosure, reduction in SRS capacity can be suppressed.

An Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) transmitter generates OFDM multiple-access signals with low Peak-to-Average-Power Ratio (PAPR). A code-division multiplexer arranges original data symbols from different data streams inside each length-N symbol block, which is spread by a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) spreader. The arrangement of the original data symbols configures the DFT spreader to spread each original data symbol into a predetermined spread-DFT code division multiple access channel. The resulting DFT-spread data symbols are mapped to OFDM subcarriers, and an inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT) operates on the DFT-spread data symbols to generate an OFDM transmission signal having low PAPR.

Systems and methods for wireless communications are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a wireless communication method includes applying, by a base station, code sequences or scrambling codes to repetitions of broadcast information of a plurality of resources of a cell of the base station. Each of the code sequence or the scrambling codes being specific to a corresponding one of the plurality of resources. Each of the plurality of resources is a beam of the cell. In addition, the base station transmits, to a wireless communication device, the repetitions of the broadcast information with the code sequences or the scrambling codes applied.

A method of transmitting a discovery reference signal (DRS) by a base station in a wireless access system supporting an unlicensed band, includes transmitting the DRS in a DRS occasion via the unlicensed band, wherein the DRS includes a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), wherein the DRS is transmitted in a subframe (SF) among SF #1, SF #2, SF #3, SF #4, SF #6, SF #7, SF #8, and SF #9, and wherein the SSS is generated based on a SSS sequence related to a SF number where the DRS occasion occurs.

Apparatus and methods for sounding reference signal (SRS) switching are provided. In certain embodiments, a controller internal to the power amplifier module initiates a sequence of instructions, in response to a single command, that cause the antenna switch to actuate for transmission of the sounding reference signal symbol to a second antenna. The user equipment notifies the base station associated with the mobile device to withhold blanking symbols before and after a sounding reference signal symbol.

In a wireless local area network (LAN) system, a station (STA) can generate a plurality of long training field (LTF) symbols used for a plurality of streams including first to fourth streams. The first to fourth streams use different LTF sequences, and the LTF sequences used by the first to fourth streams may be multiplied by the same element of a P matrix. The STA may include a step for transmitting a PHY protocol data unit (PPDU) including the plurality of LTF symbols.

Methods, systems, and devices for mapping schemes for uplink control signals in mobile communication technology are described. An exemplary method for wireless communication includes transmitting, by a wireless device over a control channel, an M-bit payload on N symbols over a plurality of subcarriers, wherein Mand N are positive integers, wherein each of the N symbols is represented using a base sequence (u(n, m)) and a cyclic shift (n.sub.cs (n, m)) of the base sequence, wherein n=0, 1, . . . (N−1) is a non-negative integer that indexes a symbol in the N symbols, and wherein m=0, 1, . . . (2.sup.M−1) is a non-negative integer that indexes a combination set in 2.sup.M combination sets.

Mechanisms may be used for aggregating acknowledgement (ACK), block ACK (BA) and/or short packets transmissions for multi-user (MU) wireless communication systems. Aggregation mechanisms may be used for uplink (UL) and/or downlink (DL) orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), and/or UL/DL multiple-user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) transmissions, for example. Multi-user short packets may be aggregated and/or simultaneously transmitted for DL, UL, or peer-to-peer (P2P) transmissions.

A system and method are provided for processing symbols for transmission. The method involves producing a single carrier offset quadrature amplitude modulation (OQAM) waveform signal from a set of K complex symbols. The method further involves pulse shaping 2K frequency domain samples of the OQAM waveform signal with J non-zero coefficients, where the J non-zero coefficients represent a frequency response of a conjugate symmetrical pulse shape, and K≤J≤2K−1. The approach has the advantage of avoiding self-interference, with the result that better BLER performance may be possible. The approach is applicable to any modulation order and also avoids bandwidth expansion. Flexibility is provided through a trade-off between PAPR vs. spectrum efficiency.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) or a base station, or both, may generate a set of orthogonal sequences that the UE may use to convey a payload of a number of bits based on a product of an orthogonal matrix and a cell-specific sequence. The UE or the base station, or both, may select a subset of the set of orthogonal sequences based on the number of bits in the payload, and the UE may construct a codebook including the subset of orthogonal sequences. The UE may select an orthogonal sequence from the constructed codebook based on the bits in the payload. The UE may transmit the payload including the number of bits to the base station using the selected orthogonal sequence.
