A method and a receiving node for determining Time Of Arrival (TOA) for a radio signal received from a transmitting node in a wireless network. The receiving node detects the received radio signal by cross-correlating the received radio signal with a predefined reference signal transmitted by the transmitting node, to obtain a Cross-Correlated Function (CCF). The receiving node then estimates a set of candidate TOAs for respective signal components of the cross-correlated signal, and determines a final TOA for the received radio signal based on the set of candidate TOAs.

Various aspects described herein relate to cancelling interference in wireless communications. Energy level detection of a received signal can be performed to determine an allocation size and position corresponding to an interfering device in the received signal. An interference demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) and cyclic shift of the interfering device in the received signal can be determined. It can be determined whether to apply successive interference cancellation on the received signal, based at least in part on the allocation size and position and the DM-RS and cyclic shift, to cancel interference from the interfering device.

A radio base station that communicates with a user terminal, and has a control section that executes control so that signals are time-division-multiplexed over a first radio resource region where symbols are multiplexed at a rate equal to or below a Nyquist rate and a second radio resource region where symbols are multiplexed at a faster rate than the Nyquist rate. The radio base station also includes a transmission section that transmits the signals that are time-division-multiplexed in the first radio resource region and the second radio resource region, to the user terminal to reduce the interference against predetermined signals in a radio communication system in which Faster-Than-Nyquist (FTN) is used.

Methods, devices and systems for encoding and transmitting data in a wireless communications system and, in particular, for unscheduled data transmissions including low data rate transmissions. The method for transmitting data in a wireless network includes mapping data according to a predefined sequence pattern from a group of sequence patterns to provide a spreading sequence that includes multiple non-zero elements and that is enabled to partially collide in the wireless network with other spreading sequences that have been mapped according to other sequence patterns from the group; and transmitting the spreading sequence. Multiple sequences may be received by a network node and decoded using successive interference cancellation (SIC) techniques.

An uplink channel response matrix is obtained for each terminal and decomposed to obtain a steering vector used by the terminal to transmit on the uplink. An effective uplink channel response vector is formed for each terminal based on its steering vector and its channel response matrix. Multiple sets of terminals are evaluated based on their effective channel response vectors to determine the best set (e.g., with highest overall throughput) for uplink transmission. Each selected terminal performs spatial processing on its data symbol stream with its steering vector and transmits its spatially processed data symbol stream to an access point. The multiple selected terminals simultaneously transmit their data symbol streams via their respective MIMO channels to the access point. The access point performs receiver spatial processing on its received symbol streams in accordance with a receiver spatial processing technique to recover the data symbol streams transmitted by the selected terminals.

Methods and devices are disclosed for decoding multiple sparsely encoded data sequences in a wireless communications network. A received signal carrying multiple sparsely encoded data sequences is decoded by selecting a first plurality of the data sequences and performing multi-user decoding on the received signal to decode the first plurality of data sequences. Other data sequences are treated as noise. The plurality of data sequences is selected to meet a collision threshold for the multi-user decoding. Data sequences may be selected based on a collision contribution and signal quality metrics. A modified received signal is generated to remove signals associated with the multiple sparsely encoded data sequences which have been successfully decoded. The method may be performed for additional iterations to select a new plurality of data sequences, and perform the multi-user decoding on the modified received signal to decode additional data sequences, until a stopping condition is met.

Various aspects of the present disclosure provide for methods, apparatus, and computer software for multiple access to a channel carrying a common uplink burst transmitted by users that utilize two different modes. Specifically, a coupled mode provides for range extension for users at a cell edge, while a decoupled mode provides for user data transmissions within the common uplink burst. Multiple access between these different modes may be provided in a non-orthogonal scheme by moderating the amount of interference between the respective modes. Further, multiple access between these different modes may be provided in an orthogonal scheme by utilizing interleaved frequency division multiple access (IFDMA).
