A repetition unit (212) performs a repetition for mapping a data signal and a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) repeatedly at a symbol level over a plurality of subframes. A signal allocation unit (213) maps, in the a plurality of subframes, the repeated DMRS to symbols other than symbols corresponding to an SRS resource candidate, which is a candidate for a resource to which a sounding reference signal (SRS) to be used to measure an uplink received signal quality is to be mapped. A transmission unit (216) transmits an uplink signal (PUSCH) including the DMRS and the data signal over the a plurality of subframes.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive first configuration information indicating a first guard interval associated with sidelink communications. The UE may transmit, to a base station and another UE, a first sidelink communication using the first guard interval. The UE may transmit, to the base station and using a second guard interval having a second length that is different from a first length of the first guard interval, an uplink communication. Numerous other aspects are described.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A device may receive a set of demodulation reference signals (DMRSs) over a multi-path channel on a set of resources in accordance with a reference signal pattern. The reference signal pattern may be associated with a non-uniform frequency spacing that results in a row-sampled Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) matrix associated with the reference signal pattern having a lower coherence than other row-sampled DFT matrices. Additionally or alternatively, the device may receive a set of tracking reference signals (TRSs) over the multi-path channel. The set of TRSs may be specific to wide-area terrestrial broadcast services, single frequency network (SFN)-based broadcast services, multimedia broadcast multicast services (MBMSs), or the reference signal pattern. The device may perform channel estimation based on receiving one or both of the set of DMRSs or the set of TRSs over the multi-path channel.

Disclosed according to various embodiments are a method for transmitting a sidelink signal by a terminal in a wireless communication system supporting a sidelink and an apparatus therefor. The method for transmitting a sidelink signal comprises the steps of: applying scramble codes to data symbols and a DMRS; performing frequency-division multiplexing (FDM) of the data symbols and the DMRS; and transmitting a sidelink signal including the frequency division multiplexed (FDM) data symbols and DMRS, wherein the transmitted sidelink signal is a single sidelink signal selected from a plurality of sidelink signals which are generated by applying the plurality of scramble codes to the data symbols and the DMRS, respectively.

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5.sup.th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4.sup.th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. The present invention relates to a method and device for decoding data by a base station in a wireless communication system, and the method of the present invention comprises the steps of: transmitting, by a base station, phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) allocation information, which includes PTRS port information and orthogonal cover code (OCC) information, to a terminal; receiving, from the terminal, a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) and a PTRS to which an OCC depending on the OCC information has been applied, so as to estimate phase noise; and compensating the phase noise to decode data received from the terminal.

This application provides example data transmission methods and apparatuses, so that a PAPR of time-domain sending data can be reduced. One example method includes a transmit end performing modulation data processing on first modulation data whose length is M.sub.1, to obtain second modulation data whose length is M.sub.2, where M.sub.1<M.sub.2, M.sub.1 and M.sub.2 are positive integers, and each modulation data in the second modulation data is an element in the first modulation data. The transmit end then performs sending preprocessing, such as phase shift, Fourier transform, inverse Fourier transform, or time/frequency domain filtering on the second modulation data to obtain time-domain sending data of one symbol. The transmit end then sends the time-domain sending data on the one symbol.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Autonomous transmissions between a user equipment (UE) and a base station may be configured that include at least one of a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) or resources for the transmissions. In some cases, a trigger may be detected that changes the MCS or resources to be used for the autonomous transmissions. The trigger may include the presence or absence of retransmissions or the value of a channel measurement falling below or exceeding a threshold value. Accordingly, the base station and UE may adjust the MCS or resources to be used for the autonomous transmissions based on detecting the trigger and then communicate using the adjusted MCS or resources. In some cases, the configuration for the autonomous transmissions may be signaled via a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE).

A terminal is disclosed including a receiving unit that receives a signal that is encoded by using transform precoding; and a controlling unit that assumes that size of transform precoding is determined based on a bandwidth of a downlink.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications provide techniques for multiplexing, in a frequency domain, a synchronization signal block (SSB) and a control resource set (CORESET) to form a multiplexed block that is transmitted using a set of symbols. A base station may transmit multiple multiplexed blocks using multiple different beams with a switching gap provided between each multiplexed block that allows for switching of radio frequency (RF) components between different beams. The switching gap is longer than a duration of a cyclic prefix (CP) that is associated with each symbol of the set of symbols of each multiplexed block. Within one or more of the multiplexed blocks, an associated SSB may use a different waveform than the CORESET. The multiplexed blocks may use a common reference signal for both the SSB and CORESET.

This invention is directed to a terminal apparatus capable of preventing the degradation of reception quality of control information even in a case of employing SU-MIMO transmission system. A terminal, which uses a plurality of different layers to transmit two code words in which control information is placed, comprises: a resource amount determining unit that determines, based on a lower one of the encoding rates of the two code words or based on the average value of the reciprocals of the encoding rates of the two code words, resource amounts of control information in the respective ones of the plurality of layers; and a transport signal forming unit that places, in the two code words, the control information modulated by use of the resource amounts, thereby forming a transport signal.
