Provided is a base station, comprising: a configuration unit, configured to configure a transmission waveform of a User Equipment (UE) for uplink transmission; and a transmission unit, configured to transmit information related to the configuration to the UE. The configuration unit is configured by using any of the following modes: physical layer signaling, a Random Access Response (RAR) message of Media Access Control (MAC), and Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling. The present application also provides a user equipment (UE) and a corresponding method.

A method and device in a UE and a base station used for wireless communications. The UE first receives a first signaling, and then transmits a first radio signal; the first signaling is used for determining K REs, and K first-type complex numbers are used for generating a baseband signal of the first radio signal through a baseband signal generation for generating an SC-FDMA baseband signal, a modulation scheme employed by the first radio signal is π/2-BPSK, K first-type parameters respectively correspond to the K first-type complex numbers, the K REs occupy contiguous subcarriers in frequency domain. The K first-type parameters are related to a center frequency of the contiguous subcarriers occupied by the K REs, each of the K first-type parameters is related to a length of cyclic prefix of an RE onto which a corresponding first-type complex number is mapped. The present disclosure improves uplink coverage performance.

Half tone offset may be utilized to mitigate signal distortion caused by DC bias within OFDM-based systems. In addition a cyclic prefix may be utilized within an OFDM-based system to mitigate inter-symbol-interference. Presented herein are techniques and methods to efficiently apply a cyclic prefix to an OFDM symbol with a half tone offset.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Some systems may support wireless communications in high frequency millimeter wave (mmW) bands, such as frequency range 4 (FR4) or other frequency ranges. To support such communications, a base station may dynamically configure a cyclic prefix (CP) length for single carrier waveform communications. The base station may determine the CP length to handle a beam switching delay, a delay spread of a physical propagation channel, or both. In some examples, a user equipment (UE) may provide feedback to the base station, and the base station may configure the UE with a CP length based on the feedback. The base station may transmit a configuration message to a UE indicating the configured CP length. A single carrier waveform with the configured CP length may maintain a symbol-level alignment with other supported waveforms, such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) waveforms.

Method and apparatus to use different GI sequences for different FDM UEs. The apparatus calculates a GI of each UE from a set of UEs based at least on a delay spread associated with each UE from the set of UEs. The apparatus multiplexes data and the GI of each respective UE from the set of UEs to generate a waveform. The apparatus transmits the waveform to the set of UEs. The apparatus may receive, from each UE from the set of UEs, the delay spread associated with each UE from the set of UEs. The apparatus may multiplex the GI of each respective UE from the set of UEs prior to performing a DFT operation on the GI and the data. The apparatus may multiplex the GI of each respective UE from the set of UEs after performing an IDFT operation to generate the waveform.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless device such as a user equipment (UE) may receive control signaling from a scheduling device such as a base station which indicates a configuration for decoding control channel information at the UE using a single discrete transform process. In such cases, the configuration may be for decoding control channel information such as downlink control information (DCI) that is time multiplexed with data channel information in one or more symbols of a single carrier waveform. Using the configuration, the UE may decode the control channel information and the data channel information using the discrete transform process.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node may receive, from a first wireless device, an uplink communication using a first guard interval. The IAB may receive, from a second wireless device, a downlink communication using a second guard interval, a second length of the second guard interval being different from a first length of the first guard interval. The IAB may process the uplink communication and the downlink communication in a same fast Fourier transform window. Numerous other aspects are described.

The present disclosure provides a communication device and an operating method. The communication device includes an antenna, a transmission processor, a radio frequency chain, and a reception processor. The transmission processor is configured to output a second transmission input signal with the same average power as the average power of a first transmission input signal and a second amplitude greater than a first amplitude of the first transmission input signal. The RF chain is configured to output an RF output signal to be transmitted through the antenna, based on a transmission input signal, and to output a reception input signal based on a signal received through the antenna. The reception processor is configured to check an out-of-band blocker by detecting a peaked frequency spectrum based on the reception input signal and to adjust a reception characteristic parameter of the RF chain based on an amplitude of the peaked frequency spectrum.

A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE). The UE encodes a first uplink control information (UCI) payload of a first priority level to generate a first codeword. The UE modifies the first codeword based on a second UCI payload, wherein information about the second UCI payload is conveyed via a modification of the first codeword. The UE transmits an uplink channel comprising the first codeword and carrying information for the second UCI payload. A base station receives an uplink channel from the UE, comprising a first codeword for a first UCI payload having a first priority level and having a modification that conveys information for a second UCI payload having a second priority level. The base station decodes the second UCI payload based at least in part on the information conveyed based on the modification.

A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may receive a unique word-error check (UW-EC) encoded signal. A pre-decoder data check entity may check for errors based on EC bits and systematic and parity bits from the UW-EC encoded signal. If an error is not detected at the pre-decoder data check entity, data without an error may be signaled to a source decoder without channel decoding.
