A method for receiving a signal by a terminal in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention can comprise a step for determining REGs, which are to be assumed that the same precoding is used, among REGs comprised in a control resource set on the basis of information relating to precoder granularity, and thus monitoring a control channel candidate. Particularly, if a part of resource blocks overlaps another resource region and particular resource blocks in the resource blocks are no longer contiguous due to the overlapping, the terminal can comprise an assumption that the same precoding is used with respect to the REGs comprised in the particular resource blocks even if the information relating to the precoder granularity corresponds to first configuration.

A system and method for detecting a scrambling seed in communication between a drone and a controller are described. The system comprises a radio-frequency (RF) receiver configured to receive an RF signal transmitted between the drone and a controller. The RF signal includes scrambled data that contain repetitions of unscrambled data based on known scramblers with an unknown scrambling seed. The system further comprises a memory device in communication with a hardware processor and having stored computer-executable instructions to cause the hardware processor to identify the smallest number of bits required in each segment of scrambled data for data combining by finding an invertible predetermined matrix. The hardware processor is configured to determine the unknown scrambling seed based on a function combining the predetermined matrix, transition matrices of scramblers, and segments of received scrambled data.

Wireless communication transmission and reception techniques are described. At transmitter, source data bits are modulated into a number Nd of constellation symbols. An invertible transform is applied to the constellation symbols, thereby resulting in mapping the transformed symbols into Nd elements in the time-frequency grid. A signal resulting from the invertible transform is transmitted over a communication channel.

Novel channel estimation techniques that can be performed solely in the analog domain are provided. The techniques use continuous analog channel estimation (CACE), periodic analog channel estimation (PACE), and multiantenna frequency shift reference (MAFSR). These techniques provide sufficient channel knowledge to enable analog beamforming at the receiver while significantly reducing the estimation overhead. These schemes involve transmission of a reference tone of a known frequency, either continuously along with the data (CACE, MAFSR) or in a separate phase from data (PACE). Analysis of the methods show that sufficient receiver beamforming gain can be achieved in sparse channels by building the beamformer using just the amplitude and phase estimates of the reference tone from each receiver antenna.

A method includes using a first trained artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) model to identify occupied frequency channels associated with one or more incoming signals during multiple time periods, where the one or more incoming signals include a frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) signal. The method also includes generating one or more baseband signals using portions of the one or more incoming signals associated with the occupied frequency channels. The method further includes using a second trained AI/ML model to recover data from the one or more baseband signals, where the recovered data represents at least a portion of data that is encoded in the FHSS signal.
