Disclosed is a transmission scheme for transmitting a first modulated signal and a second modulated signal over the same frequency at the same time. According to the transmission scheme, a precoding weight multiplying unit multiplies a baseband signal after a first mapping and a baseband signal after a second mapping by a precoding weight and outputs the first modulated signal and the second modulated signal. In the precoding weight multiplying unit, precoding weights are regularly hopped.

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe devices, methods, computer-readable media and systems configurations for management and/or support of multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) service in a wireless communications network. An evolved Node B (eNB) may transmit MBMS assistance information to a user equipment (UE). The MBMS assistance information may identify a carrier by which one or more upcoming MBMS services are to be provided and an indicator of a carrier selection mode to be used by the UE. The UE may transmit an MBMS interest indication message including information related to one or more targeted MBMS services which the UE wants to receive.

An electronic device includes a housing; a first antenna located at a first part of the housing; a second antenna located at a second part separated from the first part of the housing; a transceiver configured to generate a first signal and a second signal; a first coupler electrically connected between the first antenna and the transceiver and configured to receive the first signal from the transceiver and provide the received first signal to the first antenna; a second coupler electrically connected to the second antenna and the transceiver and configured to receive the second signal from the transceiver and provide the received second signal to the second antenna; and a control circuit operationally connected to the transceiver, wherein the control circuit is configured to determine at least one value related to gains of the first signal and the second signal based at least partially on the signals provided from the first coupler and the second coupler, determine whether the first signal has a higher gain than that of the second signal, and allow the first signal to have increased transmission power and the second signal to have reduced transmission power based at least partially on the at least one value related to the gains.

Provided is a transmitter which improves the flexibility of SRS resource allocation without increasing the amount of signaling for notifying the cyclic shift amount. In the transmitter, with regard to each basic shift amount candidate group having a basic shift amount from 0 to N−1, a transmission control unit (206) specifies the actual shift amount imparted to a cyclic shift sequence used in scrambling a reference signal transmitted from each antenna port, said specification being performed based on a table in which cyclic shift amount candidates correspond to each antenna port, and based on setting information transmitted from a base station (100). With regard to basic shift amount candidates for shift amount X, the table differentiates between an offset pattern comprising offset values for cyclic shift amount candidates corresponding to each antenna port and an offset pattern corresponding to basic shift amount candidates of X+N/2.

A precoding process is performed on a first baseband signal and a second baseband signal to generate a first precoding signal and a second precoding signal. A pilot signal is inserted into the first precoding signal and phase change is performed on the second precoding signal. A pilot signal is inserted into the phase changed second precoding signal, and phase change is further performed on the phase-changed second precoding signal with the pilot signal inserted.

A base station, which is a transmission device according to the present invention, includes a space-time block coding unit that performs space-time block coding on a transmission symbol to generate a transmission block, a differential unit that performs a differential operation on the transmission block, a code multiplication unit that multiplies the transmission block by a code, a selection unit that selects one of the transmission block after the differential operation and the transmission block after the code multiplication, and wireless transmission units that transmit the transmission block selected.

An electronic device may include a baseband processor and P antenna elements. The antenna elements may concurrently convey signals within M signal beams. The baseband processor may have a demultiplexer that receives a stream of M symbols. The processor may have M parallel data paths coupled between the demultiplexer and a beam former. The beam former may be coupled to amplifier circuitry over P parallel data paths. Inverse fast Fourier transformers (IFFTs) may be interposed on the M parallel data paths. A feedback path may be coupled between the M parallel data paths and the P parallel data paths. Crest factor reduction (CFR) circuitry may be interposed on the feedback path. The CFR circuitry may perform CFR operations on signals from the P parallel data paths iteratively and concurrently. This may minimize PAR in the system while supporting concurrent transmission of radio-frequency signals in multiple signal beams.

Wireless communication is established between a first station and a second station in a wireless communication system, the first station having a beamforming network configured to form a succession of beams using antenna weight vectors selected from a pre-determined plurality of antenna weight vectors. The orientations of the beams are arranged in a grid comprising a plurality of rows. The beams of each row are spaced in angular position such that at least one beam in a respective row is positioned mid-way between the positions of two beams on an adjacent row. A succession of beams is formed to send first messages using a selected first sub-set of the antenna weight vectors. If a first message in a first beam is received at the second station, a further succession of beams is formed using a second sub-set of the antenna weight vectors selected to form beams adjacent to the first beam.

A wireless audio system including a transmitter using multiple antenna diversity techniques for different signal types is provided. Multipath performance may be optimized, along with improved spectral efficiency of the system.

A transmission method includes generating a first precoded signal and a second precoded signal by performing a precoding process on a first baseband signal and a second baseband signal, outputting a third signal by inserting a pilot signal into the first precoded signal, outputting a fourth signal by applying a first phase change to the second precoded signal, outputting a fifth signal by inserting a pilot signal into the fourth signal, and outputting a sixth signal by applying a second phase change to the fifth signal.
