A method for operating a user equipment in a wireless communication is provided as an embodiment of the present invention. The method may include: receiving modulation and coding scheme (MCS) information for each of two or more codewords from a base station (BS); determining a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) antenna port to which a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) antenna port is mapped based on the MCS information; and receiving a PTRS based on the DMRS antenna port, wherein a DMRS antenna port with the lowest index among one or more DMRS antenna ports included in a codeword with the highest MCS among the two or more codewords may be determined as the DMRS antenna port.

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 system and method for transmitting an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexed signal with a group distributed phase tracking reference signal subcarrier structure, and for estimating, and compensating for, both common phase error, and inter-carrier interference.

The present disclosure provides a reference signal transmission method, a transmitter and a receiver. The reference signal transmission method includes: precoding, by a transmitter, a data stream for user data through a second precoding matrix so as to acquire D virtual data streams; precoding, by the transmitter, the D virtual data streams through a first precoding matrix, and transmitting the D precoded virtual data streams to a receiver via T antenna groups, each antenna group including one or more antenna units or antenna ports having a same phase noise; transmitting, by the transmitter, D demodulation reference signals to the receiver; and transmitting, by the transmitter, M phase-tracking reference signals to the receiver, the M phase-tracking reference signals being adopted to track phase changes in the T antenna groups caused by one or more phase noise sources.

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.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for design of synchronization signals for narrowband operation, which can be used for stand-alone/in-band/guard-band deployment. An example method is provided for operations which may be performed by a base station (BS). The example method generally includes generating a primary synchronization signal (PSS) utilizing a first code sequence and a cover code applied to the first code sequence over a first number of symbols within one or more subframes, generating a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) based on a second code sequence over a second number of symbols within one or more subframes, and transmitting the PSS and the SSS in the first and second subframes to a first type of a user equipment (UE) that communicates on one or more narrowband regions of wider system bandwidth.

Configuring control information comprises determining a frequency offset including an RB and RE level frequency offset, where the frequency offset is determined based on a lowest RE of an SS/PBCH block and a lowest RE of CORESET for RMSI, jointly configuring, using a first field of 4 bits, the RB level frequency offset with a multiplexing pattern of the SS/PBCH block and the CORESET, a BW of the CORESET, and a number of symbols for the CORESET for a combination of a SCS of the SS/PBCH block and a SCS of the CORESET, configuring using a second field of the 4 bits generating an MIB including the RB level frequency offset and the RE level frequency offset; and transmitting, to a UE, the MIB over a PBCH.
