This disclosure provides a transmission method and a first communication device. The method includes: transmitting, by a first communication device, a target reference signal that belongs to a first type of reference signal in a case that the first communication device receives indication information from a second communication device and the indication information indicates transmission of the first type of reference signal, where a reference signal sequence of the first type of reference signal is generated based on a first characteristic.

Devices, systems and methods for a fifth generation (5G) or new radio (NR) system comprising multiplexing, by a gNodeB (gNB), a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) and an associated demodulation reference signal (DMRS) in a time division multiplexing (TDM) manner; and transmitting, by the gNB, the PBCH by employing a Discrete Fourier Transform-spread-orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM) waveform and its associated DMRS.

Among other things, a communication system comprising at least one remote unit and controller is described. The at least one remote unit wirelessly exchanges radio frequency (RF) signals with mobile devices. Each RF signal comprises information destined for, or originating from, at least one of the mobile devices. The at least two remote units and the controller communicate baseband data corresponding to the information across an intermediate network. The at least two remote units each implement at least some physical layer processing for an air interface used to wirelessly communicate with the subscriber devices. The controller is configured to perform at least some receive signal processing using combined data resulting from combining at least some of the baseband data communicated from more than one of the at least two remote units.

The present disclosure pertains to a terminal for a Radio Access Network, the terminal being adapted for transmission based on a first frequency division multiple access (FDMA) technology and for transmission based on a second frequency division multiple access technology. The terminal is adapted for transmitting reference signaling having a comb structure for transmission based on either the first FDMA technology or the second FDMA technology. The disclosure also pertains to related devices and methods.

System and methods for shaped single carrier orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with low peak to average power ratio are provided. The system receives an input signal and modulates the input signal to form Dirichlet kernels in a time domain to generate an offset Dirichlet kernel output time array where each Dirichlet kernel has a main lobe and a plurality of side lobes. Modulating the input signal suppresses a peak to average power ratio of the offset Dirichlet kernel output time array by reducing the plurality of side lobes of each Dirichlet kernel and respective amplitudes of the side lobes.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, devices and computer storage media for communication. A method comprises determining, at a network device, a variable for transform pre-coding to be performed by the network device or a terminal device served by the network device; and transmitting, to the terminal device, information about the variable for the transform pre-coding. Embodiments of the present disclosure can achieve high resource efficiency and low PAPR at the same time in downlink transmissions.

A discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal time frequency space modulation method comprises the steps of performing DFT preceding processing and delay-Doppler domain mapping processing on the transmit data symbols, OTFS modulator, and performing delay-Doppler domain demapping processing and IDFT decoding processing on a received signal to realize demodulation; compared with the existing waveforms, including OFDM and DFT-s-OFDM, the proposed DFT-s-OTFS can reduce the bit error rate under high Doppler spread and the peak-to-average power ratio of the transmitted signal at the same time.

The apparatus may be a device at a UE or a base station. The UE (or base station) may be configured to measure a phase noise of a first local oscillator associated with a first port. The UE (or base station) may further be configured to configure, based on the measured phase noise, an allocation of a first set of one or more REs of a PUSCH (or PDSCH) for at least one PT-RS associated with the first port. The first set of one or more REs may include multiple layers associated with a multiple-layer single-carrier waveform transmission. The UE (or base station) may also be configured to transmit, to a base station (or a UE), the PUSCH (or PDSCH) including the at least one PT-RS, the at least one PT-RS being transmitted via the configured allocation of the first set of one.

A method is provided for transmitting Acknowledgement/Negative Acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) information in a wireless communication system. A User Equipment (UE) configures a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) format 3 for transmission of the ACK/NACK information. The UE transmits the ACK/NACK information for downlink transmission in a downlink subframe set including M downlink subframes in one uplink subframe, wherein M>1. A plurality of serving cells are configured for the UE and include one Primary Cell (PCell) and at least one Secondary Cell (SCell). The UE transmits the ACK/NACK information using a PUCCH format 1b when a first condition is met that comprises a condition in case where the ACK/NACK information corresponds to one Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) without a corresponding Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) received only on the PCell in the downlink subframe set and the ACK/NACK information corresponds to an additional PDSCH indicated by detection of one corresponding PDCCH.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a control message from a base station indicating a configuration of an uplink waveform for full-duplex communications at the UE. The UE may receive an additional control message scheduling a set of uplink resources and a set of downlink resources for the full-duplex communications. The set of uplink resources and the set of downlink resources may at least partially overlap in a time-domain. A frequency-domain gap between the set of uplink resources and the set of downlink resources may be based on the first uplink waveform and a first downlink waveform used by the base station. The UE may communicate with the base station on the set of uplink resources and the set of downlink resources in accordance with the frequency-domain gap.
