A device of a New Radio (NR) User Equipment (UE), a method and a machine readable medium to implement the method. The device includes a Radio Frequency (RF) interface, and processing circuitry coupled to the RF interface, the processing circuitry to: encode for transmission, to a User Equipment (UE), a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) including a Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) and a channel estimation signal that is time division multiplexed with the PBCH, the channel estimation signal to allow the UE to estimate a channel for the PBCH and including one of a Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS), a Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) or a Phase Tracking Reference Signal (PT-RS); and apply Discrete Fourier Transform-spread-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM) to the PBCH prior to sending the SSB to the RF interface for transmission.

Embodiments herein provide for a Low-Frequency (LF) broadcast system that improves on the LORAN-C system to help optimize the use of available spectrum while modernizing the signal structure of broadcast signals. In particular, embodiments can utilize an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) signal structure to broadcast timing and data signals in successive symbols of an OFDM resource block. Signals can include, for example, comb-1, comb-2, or comb-3 signal structures. Other signal aspects such as muting schemes, modulation, frequency offsets, and the like may vary, depending on desired functionality.

A method for reference signal processing is provided. In this example, the method includes receiving, by a UE, a message from a network device, where the message indicates both that a first reference signal is to be transmitted over a first resource and that a second reference signal is to be transmitted over a second resource. The method also includes receiving, by the UE, at least the first reference signal in accordance with capabilities of the UE and the message received from the network device.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described for managing sounding reference signal (SRS) transmissions in shared radio frequency spectrum. Described techniques provide for increased occasions at which a SRS may be transmitted, enhance likelihood of a successful listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure, or any combinations thereof. Increased occasions for SRS may be provided through multiple transmission times that are available in the event of an earlier LBT failure. Enhanced likelihood of successful LBT may be provided through one or more timing offsets that may be randomly selected from a set of available timing offsets, selection of a cyclic prefix length for a SRS based on whether the SRS transmission is within or outside of a channel occupancy time of a base station, providing an initial SRS transmission time for an initial periodic time interval, triggering of an aperiodic SRS within the channel occupancy time, or any combinations thereof.

A base station may transmit a control channel transmission during a configured discovery reference signal window on a shared spectrum. A user equipment (UE) may detect the control channel transmission from the base station during the configured discovery reference signal window on the shared spectrum. The UE may determine, in response to detecting the control channel transmission, expected synchronization signal block (SSB) positions within a maximum SSB burst length starting from the control channel transmission during the discovery reference signal window. The base station may transmit SSBs at the expected SSB positions within the maximum SSB burst length starting from the control channel transmission during the discovery reference signal window. The UE may measure SSBs at the expected SSB positions. The UE may conserve power by stopping measurements or entering a sleep mode after the expected SSB positions.

The present disclosure relates to a pre-5.sup.th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4.sup.th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). The present disclosure relates to transmission of a reference signal in a wireless communication system, and an operation method of a terminal comprises the steps of: receiving control information for reference signals from a base station, and receiving the reference signals according to the control information. Further, embodiments of the present disclosure also differ from the embodiment described above.

A pilot reception processing method includes: determining a first position of a pilot pattern corresponding to a pilot in a delay-Doppler domain; and determining first indication information according to the first position.

A WLAN baseband chip and an FDMA PPDU generation method are disclosed. The WLAN baseband chip obtains a subcarrier coefficient corresponding to a subcarrier set, m LDR SYNC sequences, and n−m HDR SYNC sequences. The WLAN baseband chip performs duplicating processing on m data streams in n data streams, to obtain m data sequences on which the duplicating processing has been performed and n−m remaining data streams. The WLAN baseband chip obtains m pieces of to-be-modulated data based on the m LDR SYNC sequences and the m data sequences on which the duplicating processing has been performed, and obtains n−m pieces of to-be-modulated data based on the n−m HDR SYNC sequences and the n−m remaining data streams, to obtain n pieces of to-be-modulated data. The WLAN baseband chip performs postprocessing to obtain a frequency-domain symbol sequence, to obtain an FDMA PPDU.

This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for radio frequency (RF) sensing in wireless communication systems. In some implementations, a transmitting device may transmit a sounding dataset, over a wireless channel, to a receiving device. The sounding dataset may include information carried in one or more training fields configured for channel estimation and sounding control information based, at least in part, on a configuration of the transmitting device. The receiving device may acquire channel state information (CSI) for the wireless channel based on the received sounding dataset and selectively generate a channel report for the wireless channel based, at least in part, on the CSI and the sounding control information. The channel report may indicate changes to the wireless channel which, in turn, may be used to sense objects in the vicinity of the transmitting device or the receiving device.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which control information is transmitted using a single carrier (SC) waveform in time domain blocks without a cyclic prefix (CP). A base station may configure a user equipment (UE) for control information transmissions using a SC waveform without CPs in time domain blocks, and may activate the SC waveform without CPs in time domain blocks based on one or more parameters. The control information may be non-uniformly segmented across two or more time domain blocks or two or more portions of a time domain block. A reference signal, such as a demodulation reference signal, may be transmitted in the time domain blocks, where the reference signals may be distributed evenly or unevenly across the time domain blocks.
