Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a communication comprising data signaling and superimposed pilots, the superimposed pilots being superimposed on the data signaling transmitted via one or more communication resources of the communication. The UE may decode the data signaling from the communication. The UE may measure one or more channels of one or more beams based at least in part on the superimposed pilots. Numerous other aspects are described.

There is provided a method of receiving a transmitted signal over a time-varying channel. The method includes: obtaining a received symbol signal in frequency domain based on the transmitted signal; performing a first channel estimation based on the received symbol signal to obtain a plurality of first estimated BEM coefficients; performing a first equalization based on the received symbol signal and the plurality of first estimated BEM coefficients to obtain a plurality of first detected source symbols; and performing one or more rounds of a second channel estimation and a second equalization. Each round includes: performing the second channel estimation based on the received symbol signal and a plurality of detected source symbols to obtain a plurality of second estimated BEM coefficients; performing interference removal based on the received symbol signal, the plurality of detected source symbols and the plurality of second estimated BEM coefficients to obtain an interference reduced symbol signal infrequency domain; and performing the second equalization based on the interference reduced symbol signal and the plurality of second estimated BEM coefficients to obtain a plurality of second detected source symbols. There is also provided a corresponding receiver, and a system for wireless communication over a time-varying channel including the receiver.

Systems, methods, and devices reduce and mitigate spurs that may occur in transmit waveforms of wireless communications devices. Methods include receiving a plurality of samples of a baseband transmission and generating, using a processing device, an estimated amplitude and an estimated phase of a spur component of the baseband transmission based on the received plurality of samples, the spur component being a spectral spike in a transmit waveform. Methods further include generating, using the processing device, a canceling signal configured to cancel the estimated amplitude and estimated phase of the spur component, and canceling the spur component of the baseband transmission by combining the canceling signal with a transmission of at least a portion of a data packet.

The gains with non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) for uplink data transmissions can be high when chosen codes are orthogonal. However, when codes are non-orthogonal, the gains can be low. NOMA can be used when there is more than one mobile device using the same resources. Since orthogonal codes can not be possible for every length, codes which have low cross-correlation properties can be used. However, when there are a large number of mobile devices using the same resources, the cross-correlation between the codes can cause interference to the mobile devices. Reducing the gains of a NOMA system can reduce the overall throughput. Thus, transmitting data on the same resources in a NOMA can occur in spite of the interference to the UEs transmitting data on the same resources. Therefore, a non-orthogonal multiple access design for a 5G network can mitigate interference.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, an apparatus and a computer readable storage medium for generating soft-decision information for a receiver. In example embodiments, a method is provided. The method includes receiving, at a first device, a signal from a second device, the signal corresponding to a group of symbols transmitted from the second device; determining, by performing Lattice Reduction linear detection on the signal, a first group of estimated symbols for the group of symbols; determining, by performing iterative interference cancellation on the first group of estimated symbols, a second group of estimated symbols for the group of symbols; and generating, based on the second group of estimated symbols, soft-decision information about the group of symbols for use by a decoder at the first device. Embodiments of the present disclosure can improve the receiver performance with reduced complexity.

Technology to provide quality of experience aware multimedia streaming is disclosed. In an example, a server operable to provide hyper-text transfer protocol (HTTP) adaptive streaming, can include computer circuitry configured to: determine a bandwidth available to the server for transmitting HTTP adaptive streaming content to a plurality of clients; receive HTTP requests from the plurality of clients for representations offered by the server in a manifest file for the HTTP adaptive streaming; and calculate an availability of each representation that is offered in the manifest file for the server. The availability can be calculated, at least in part, based on the determined bandwidth. The availability of each representation can be communicated from the server to the plurality of clients.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless device such as a User Equipment (UE) in communication with a serving cell, may perform interference cancellation from an interfering cell. A UE may determine a rank of an unprecoded channel matrix associated with the interfering cell, estimate a traffic-to-pilot ratio (TPR) for an interfering transmission, based in part on a unit-norm property of a plurality of precoding matrix hypotheses for the interfering transmission, calculate respective log-likelihood functions for joint demodulation of the serving and interfering cell transmissions, select a subset of the plurality of precoding matrix hypotheses, and perform joint demodulation of the transmissions to obtain a set of demapped symbols, by assuming a uniform distribution hypothesis for the serving cell transmission, and a Gaussian distribution hypothesis for the interfering transmission.

Connection management techniques for wireless network mobility procedures are described. In one embodiment, for example, an evolved packet core (EPC) node may comprise a processor circuit to receive a notification of a mobility procedure for a user equipment (UE), determine whether to release a local gateway (L-GW)-provided packet data network (PDN) connection of the UE, and in response to a determination that the L-GW-provided PDN connection is to be released, send either a detach request message or a delete session request message to initiate a process for releasing the L-GW-provided PDN connection. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
