A system for providing a residential IP network includes a plurality of transceiver circuitries, each associated with a building, for transmitting signals to/from the associated building. An optical network unit transmits and receives signals at a first frequency with an optical network. A remote unit integrated with the optical network unit converts the received signals at the first frequency into a first format that overcome losses caused by penetrating into the interior of the building over a wireless communications link and transmits the signals in the first format using beam forming and beam steering to provide the wireless signals to at least one of the plurality of transceiver circuitries. Each of the plurality of transceiver circuitries further includes first circuitry, located on an exterior of the building, for transmitting and receiving the signals in the first format. A first antenna associated with the first circuitry for transmits the signals in the first format into the interior of the building via a wireless communications link and receives signals from the interior of the building in the first format via the wireless communications link. Second circuitry, located on the interior of the building and communicatively linked with the first circuitry via the wireless communications link, receives and transmits the converted received signals in the first format that counteracts the losses caused by penetrating into the interior of the building from/to the first circuitry. A second antenna associated with the second circuitry transmits the signals in the first format to the exterior of the building via the wireless communications link and receives signals from the exterior of the building in the first format via the wireless communications link.

A data communication method in which input digital data is received and encoded into an encoded waveform having zero crossings representative of the input digital data. The encoding includes generating the encoded waveform based upon a continuous piecewise function having sinusoidal components. The continuous piecewise function may be used in generating a plurality of symbol waveforms, each of which occupies a period of the encoded waveform and represents bits of the input digital data. The plurality of symbol waveforms are defined so that a value of a phase offset used in the continuous piecewise function is different for each of the plurality of symbol waveforms, thereby resulting in each symbol waveform having a different zero crossing. An encoded analog waveform is generated from a representation of the encoded waveform and transmitted to a receiver.

A system includes a modulator, a repetition module, and a phase rotation module. The modulator is configured to (i) modulate data using a first modulation scheme and dual sub-carrier modulation, and (ii) generate modulated symbols for transmission on a plurality of subcarriers. The dual sub-carrier modulation modulates the same information on a pair of subcarriers. The repetition module is configured to repeat the modulated symbols from a first half of the plurality of subcarriers to a second half of the plurality of subcarriers. The phase rotation module is configured to rotate phase of the modulated symbols on selected subcarriers of the second half of the plurality of subcarriers. The selected subcarriers of the second half of the plurality of subcarriers include at least one half of the second half of the plurality of subcarriers.

Embodiments have a master eNB with a control plane and optional data plane to user equipment and a secondary eNB with a data plane to the user equipment. The user equipment thus uses both the master eNB and the secondary eNB for data communications while receiving control information from only the master eNB. The master eNB and secondary eNB are connected with an X2 interface. When the secondary eNB desires to refresh its security key, it informs the master eNB using the X2 interface. The master eNB then uses its control plane with the user equipment to initiate a security key refresh for the secondary eNB.

Phase noise is a limiting factor in high-frequency 5G and 6G communications. Disclosed is a multiplexed amplitude-phase modulation scheme that can provide extremely wide phase noise margins at high frequencies. The transmitter can transmit a wave modulated in amplitude and phase, configured to provide a wide separation of phase states. The receiver, on the other hand, demodulates the message using quadrature amplitude modulation QAM, since that is generally more economical and technically preferred for signal processing. The demodulated message, however, still retains the large phase margins. As a further benefit, the examples illustrate non-square and asymmetric modulation schemes, which can extend the noise margins even further. By modulating with amplitude and phase, but demodulating with orthogonal branch signals, wireless networks can expand into high-frequency bandwidths while retaining high reliability and high throughput, as required for wireless applications of tomorrow.

According to an aspect, there is provided an apparatus for performing the following. The apparatus is configured to, first, allocate one or more of a plurality of available physical resource blocks to a plurality of terminal devices, wherein the allocating is performed so that a power spectral density for the plurality of terminal devices matches or exceeds a pre-defined limit or a plurality of respective pre-defined limits for power spectral density. In response to one or more physical resource blocks being still available following said allocating, the apparatus is configured to further allocate at least one of the one or more physical resource blocks still available to at least one of the plurality of terminal devices, wherein the further allocating is performed so that at least a pre-defined value for a modulation and coding scheme index is sustainable for said at least one of the plurality of terminal devices.

Embodiments include devices and methods that improves quality in radio transmission/reception using a single-carrier scheme and/or a multi-carrier scheme.

An FEC coder in a transmission device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure performs BCH coding and LDPC coding based on whether a code length of the LDPC coding is a 16k mode or a 64k mode. A mapper performs mapping in an I-Q coordinate to perform conversion into an FEC block, and outputs pieces of mapping data (cells). The mapper defines different non-uniform mapping patterns with respect to different code lengths even an identical coding rate is used by the FEC coder. This configuration improves a shaping gain for different error correction code lengths in a transmission technology in which modulation of the non-uniform mapping pattern is used.

Some aspects of the present disclosure relate to detection of a Phase Hit and, upon detecting the Phase Hit, determining the magnitude and location of the Phase Hit. Detecting the Phase Hit may involve comparing a phase offset difference for successive pilot symbol to a detection threshold. Determination of the detection threshold may involve a Neyman-Pearson binary hypothesis testing (NP-BHT) approach. Once the magnitude and location of the Phase Hit are known, data symbols received after the location may be processed to remove the magnitude of the Phase Hit.

A transmitting apparatus and a receiving apparatus are provided. The transmitting apparatus includes: an encoder configured to generate a low density parity check (LDPC) codeword by performing LDPC encoding; an interleaver configured to interleave the LDPC codeword; and a modulator configured to modulate the interleaved LDPC codeword according to a modulation method to generate a modulation symbol. The interleaver includes a block interleaver formed of a plurality of columns each comprising a plurality of rows, and the block interleaver is configured to divide the plurality of columns into at least two parts and interleave the LDPC codeword.
