A system for includes master and sniffer devices. The master device includes: first antennas with different polarized axes; a transmitter transmitting a challenge signal via the first antennas from the vehicle to a slave device, where the slave device is a portable access device; and a receiver receiving a response signal in response to the challenge signal from the slave device. The sniffer device includes: second antennas with different polarized axes; and a receiver receiving, via the second antennas, the challenge signal from the transmitter and the response signal from the slave device. The sniffer device measures when the challenge signal and the response signal arrive at the sniffer device to provide arrival times. The master or sniffer device estimates at least one of a distance from the vehicle to the slave device or a location of the slave device relative to the vehicle based on the arrival times.

A configurable new radio (NR) uplink (UL) transmission may use transmit diversity. A user equipment (UE) may identify an uplink transmission of at least one stream as using one of cyclic prefix orthogonal frequency division multiplexing or discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing. The UE may apply a precoding matrix to the at least one identified stream. The precoding matrix changes over time. The precoding matrix may change based on closed loop feedback, a precoding cycling pattern, and/or a code division multiplexing group. The UE may transmit the at least one identified stream from multiple antennas according to the applied precoding matrix.

User equipment (UE) can include processing circuitry configured to decode radio resource control (RRC) signaling from a base station, the RRC signaling indicating a transmission coding scheme for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission. PUSCH-to-phase tracking reference signal (PT-RS) energy per resource element (EPRE) ratio is determined using the RRC signaling. A PT-RS power boosting factor is determined based on the transmission coding scheme and the PUSCH-to-PT-RS EPRE ratio. The PT-RS is encoded for transmission using a plurality of PT-RS symbols, the transmission using increased transmission power corresponding to the PT-RS power boosting factor. The RRC signaling further includes a flag enabling the PT-RS transmission. The PUSCH-to-PT-RS EPRE ratio is 00 or 01, and the transmission coding scheme is a codebook-based uplink transmission or non-codebook-based uplink transmission.

A base station, e.g., for massive MIMO, has channel receivers, each connected to a respective antenna among a plurality of antennas to receive an RF transmission signal generated by a communication device (CD). Each channel receiver has a channel front-end module, which has a first bandwidth and converts the RF transmission signal into one or more first analog baseband signals. The channel receivers are collectively operable to define a spatial beam focus at the CD, based on channel state information of the CD. The base station has pilot signal receivers, each connected to a respective antenna among the plurality of antennas to receive an RF pilot signal generated by the CD or another CD. Each pilot signal receiver has a pilot signal front-end module, which has a second bandwidth that is smaller than the first bandwidth and converts the RF pilot signal into one or more second analog baseband signals.

Spatial spreading is performed in a multi-antenna system to randomize an effective channel observed by a receiving entity for each transmitted data symbol block. For a MIMO system, at a transmitting entity, data is processed (e.g., encoded, interleaved, and modulated) to obtain N.sub.D data symbol blocks to be transmitted in N.sub.M transmission spans, where N.sub.D1 and N.sub.M>1. The N.sub.D blocks are partitioned into N.sub.M data symbol subblocks, one subblock for each transmission span. A steering matrix is selected (e.g., in a deterministic or pseudo-random manner from among a set of L steering matrices, where L>1) for each subblock. Each data symbol subblock is spatially processed with the steering matrix selected for that subblock to obtain transmit symbols, which are further processed and transmitted via N.sub.T transmit antennas in one transmission span. The N.sub.D data symbol blocks are thus spatially processed with N.sub.M steering matrices and observe an ensemble of channels.

The present invention relates to a method for transmitting, by a base station, a downlink signal using a plurality of transmission antennas comprises the steps of: applying a precoding matrix indicated by the PMI, received from a terminal, in a codebook to a plurality of layers, and transmitting the precoded signal to the terminal through a plurality of transmission antennas. Among precoding matrices included in the codebook, a precoding matrix for even number transmission layers can be a 22 matrix containing four matrices (W1s), the matrix (W1) having rows of a number of transmission antennas and columns of half the number of transmission layers, the first and second columns of the first row in the 22 matrix being multiplied by 1, the first column of the second row being multiplied by coefficient a of a phase, and the first column of the second row being multiplied by a.

Systems and methods for OFDM channelization are provided that allow for the coexistence of sub-band channels and diversity channels. Methods of defining diversity sub-channels and sub-band sub-channels are provided and systematic channel definition and labeling schemes are provided.

A method and apparatus for implementing spatial processing with unequal modulation and coding schemes (MCSs) or stream-dependent MCSs are disclosed. Input data may be parsed into a plurality of data streams, and spatial processing is performed on the data streams to generate a plurality of spatial streams. An MCS for each data stream is selected independently. The spatial streams are transmitted via multiple transmit antennas. At least one of the techniques of space time block coding (STBC), space frequency block coding (SFBC), quasi-orthogonal Alamouti coding, time reversed space time block coding, linear spatial processing and cyclic delay diversity (CDD) may be performed on the data/spatial streams. An antennal mapping matrix may then be applied to the spatial streams. The spatial streams are transmitted via multiple transmit antennas. The MCS for each data stream may be determined based on a signal-to-noise ratio of each spatial stream associated with the data stream.

This application provides a data transmission method and an apparatus. The method includes: obtaining, by user equipment, to-be-sent user data; performing, by the user equipment, channel encoding on the to-be-sent user data to obtain N sets of encoded data; performing, by the user equipment, codebook mapping on each of the N sets of encoded data by using a codebook, to obtain N sets of codebook-mapped data, where different sets of encoded data use codebooks that occupy mutually different non-zero physical REs, the non-zero physical RE means a non-zero waveform obtained after mapped data is mapped to a physical RE, and N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2; and sending, by the user equipment, the N sets of codebook-mapped data to a base station.
