Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine a set of resources, in a set of physical multicast channel symbols, for receiving a first type of reference signal and a second type of reference signal. The UE may receive one or more reference signal transmissions in accordance with the set of resources. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Embodiments provide a receiver having a receiving unit and a synchronization unit. The receiving unit is configured to receive a data packet having a pilot sequence. The synchronization unit is configured to separately correlate the pilot sequence with at least two partial reference sequences corresponding to a reference sequence for the pilot sequence of the data packet, in order to obtain a partial correlation result for each of the at least two partial reference sequences, wherein the synchronization unit is configured to non-coherently add the partial correlation results in order to obtain a coarse correlation result for the data packet.

This disclosure relates to techniques for performing presence discovery in a wireless communication. A wireless device may monitor a wireless medium for discovery signals. A candidate discovery signal may be detected. A frequency offset estimation consistency check may be performed on the candidate discovery signal. A peak to sidelobe ratio check may be performed on the candidate discovery signal. The wireless device may determine whether the candidate discovery signal is a false positive based at least in part on the frequency offset estimation consistency check and the peak to sidelobe ratio check.

A method and apparatus for decomposition of signals with varying envelope into offset components are disclosed here, that sample the time variant envelope of a single carrier (SC) or a multi-carrier (MC) band limited signal, quantizes the sampled value using N.sub.b quantization bits and decomposes the sample into N.sub.b in-phase and quadrature components that are combined in pairs and modulated to generate a set of N.sub.b offset signals. The pulse shape applied in each offset signal is selected according to the spectral mask needed for the signal and to minimize envelope fluctuations in each offset signal from the set of N.sub.b components.

Provided are a preamble symbol generation method and receiving method, and a relevant frequency-domain symbol generation method and relevant device. The generated preamble symbol contains: a time-domain symbol with a first three-segment structure; or a time-domain symbol with a second three-segment structure; or a free combination of several time-domain symbols with the first three-segment structure and/or several time-domain symbols with the second three-segment structure arranged in any order. Using the entirety or a portion of a certain length of a time-domain main body signal as a prefix, it is possible to perform coherent detection, which solves the issues of performance degradation with non-coherent detection and differential decoding failure under complex frequency selective fading channels, and generating a postfix or hyper prefix based on the truncation of the entirety or a portion of the time-domain main body signal would enable the generated preamble symbol to have sound fractional frequency offset estimation performance and timing synchronization performance.
