The present invention provides a method for mitigating inter-cell interference. To this end, the present invention includes a second signal transmission step in which, when a transmission symbol to be transmitted to a first receiver is S and a transmission symbol to be transmitted to a second receiver is Z, a symbol S.sub.2k (k is an integer) is transmitted to the first receiver through a first transmission antenna according to a first pattern, a symbol S.sub.2k* is transmitted to the first receiver through a second transmission antenna, a symbol S.sub.2k+1 is transmitted to the first receiver through a third transmission antenna, a symbol S.sub.2k+1* is transmitted to the first receiver through a fourth transmission antenna, and symbols Z.sub.4k to Z.sub.4k+3 and symbols Z.sub.4k* to Z.sub.4k+3* are transmitted to the second receiver through fifth to eighth transmission antennas according to a second pattern different from the first pattern.

A method for multiuser superposition transmission (MUST) in a wireless communication system, and a device therefor are disclosed. Particularly, a method by which a first base station (eNodeB (eNB)) performs MUST involving joint transmission in a wireless communication system can comprise the steps of: receiving, from a MUST-paired near user equipment (UE), first channel state information (CSI) for the first eNB participating in the joint transmission; setting a parameter required to perform the MUST involving the joint transmission for the MUST-paired UE, on the basis of the first CSI and the second CSI for a second eNB participating in the joint transmission; and transmitting the parameter to the MUST-paired UE and the second eNB.

Pilots suitable for use in MIMO systems and capable of supporting various functions are described. The various types of pilot includea beacon pilot, a MIMO pilot, a steered reference or steered pilot, and a carrier pilot. The beacon pilot is transmitted from all transmit antennas and may be used for timing and frequency acquisition. The MIMO pilot is transmitted from all transmit antennas but is covered with different orthogonal codes assigned to the transmit antennas. The MIMO pilot may be used for channel estimation. The steered reference is transmitted on specific eigenmodes of a MIMO channel and is user terminal specific. The steered reference may be used for channel estimation. The carrier pilot may be transmitted on designated subbands/antennas and may be used for phase tracking of a carrier signal. Various pilot transmission schemes may be devised based on different combinations of these various types of pilot.

Embodiments herein describe wireless transmission techniques for mitigating interference between wirelessly controlled machines in a shared space. To mitigate interference, the machines may be assigned different channels within the same frequency band. However, if machines using the same channel in a frequency band receive each other's wireless signals, the wireless signals can interfere. To free up additional bandwidth, in one embodiment, the command signals are transmitted using a different frequency band than a heartbeat signal used to stop the machines in case of emergencies. In another embodiment, time multiplexing or directional antennas can be used to mitigate interference. In another example, antenna diversity and multiple-input-multiple output (MIMO) can be used to further focus the radiation pattern onto the desired machine while avoiding transmitting wireless signals to neighboring machines. In one embodiment, the machines may use dual-channels to transmit and receive duplicate data.

A transmission method simultaneously transmitting a first modulated signal and a second modulated signal at a common frequency performs precoding on both signals using a fixed precoding matrix and regularly changes the phase of at least one of the signals, thereby improving received data signal quality for a reception device.

A method for transmitting a message, including an array of signal radiating elements for broadcasting signals that are unique one from another. One each of the unique signals is associated with one each of the radiating elements. One each of a set of transmitters is in electronic communication with one each of the radiating elements, and provides the associated unique signal to each of the radiating elements. A signal generating device receives the message from a message source and transforms the message into the unique signals. The unique signals, when broadcast, spatially interfere one with another such that the message is intelligibly receivable at only one location that is predetermined by the signal generating device, and is garbled at all other locations.

In a transmission method according to one aspect of the present disclosure, a encoder performs error correction coding on an information bit string to generate a code word. A mapper modulates a first bit string in which the number of bits is the predetermined integral multiple of (X+Y) in the code word using a first scheme, the first scheme being a set of a modulation scheme in which an X-bit bit string is mapped to generate a first complex signal and a modulation scheme in which a Y-bit bit string is mapped to generate a second complex signal, and modulates a second bit string in which the first bit string is removed from the code word using a second scheme different from the first scheme.

This application provides a method for configuring a channel state information reporting band, a reporting method, and a corresponding apparatus. The method includes: determining a channel state information subband size based on a bandwidth part BWP; and determining, a quantity of channel state information subbands included in a channel state information reporting band, based on a carrier bandwidth CC bandwidth or the bandwidth part BWP bandwidth or a channel state information reference signal CSI-RS bandwidth, and the channel state information subband size. The method further includes: determining an actual quantity of resource blocks included in a starting subband and an actual quantity of resource blocks included in an ending subband in the channel state information subband. Implementation of this application makes configuration of a quantity and size of subbands in a CSI reporting band more flexible, and reduces complexity of terminal addressing.

The present invention provides a WLAN system resource indication method and apparatus. The method includes: generating, by an access point, a frame that carries resource indication information; and sending, to multiple stations, the frame that carries the resource indication information. The resource indication information includes multiple pieces of sub resource indication information. Correspondingly, each piece of the sub resource indication information uniquely corresponds to one of the multiple stations. Therefore, a station side does not need read the entire resource indication information, so as to reduce resource overheads and improve efficiency.
