A wireless communication system includes a first transmitter and a second transmitter. For a transmission or reception of data of a first user equipment and data of a second user equipment on resources shared by the first user equipment and the second user equipment, the first transmitter is configured for a superimposed non-orthogonal multiple access, NOMA, transmission or reception of a first data signal of the first user equipment and a second data signal of the second user equipment, and the second transmitter is configured for a superimposed non-orthogonal multiple access, NOMA, transmission or reception of a third data signal of the first user equipment and a fourth data signal of the second user equipment.

Systems and methods for transmitting uplink control information, for example ACK/NACK, while in RRC_inactive state, are provided. Uplink control information is transmitted while in RRC_INACTIVE state by transmitting a sequence from a set of possible sequences to convey the uplink control information, the transmitted sequence associated with a value of the uplink control information. The sequence is asynchronously transmitted. Signalling may be used to configure a transmission resource within which to transmit the sequence, wherein the transmission resource has a time duration that is longer than a time duration to transmit the sequence. This has the effect of introducing a gap following sequence transmission that can ensure the sequence transmission does not interfere with a data transmission.

All data symbols used in data transmission of a modulated signal are precoded by switching between precoding matrices so that the precoding matrix used to precode each data symbol and the precoding matrices used to precode data symbols that are adjacent to the data symbol along the frequency axis and the time axis all differ. A modulated signal with such data symbols arranged therein is transmitted.
