The present invention relates to a method for assigning transmission resources (101) to communications between an access node (11) and a plurality of subscriber devices (41 to 46) coupled to a shared transmission medium.

In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, the method comprises characterizing interference between respective ones of the plurality of subscriber devices over the shared transmission medium, grouping highly-interfering subscriber devices into respective interfering groups (G1, G2, G3, G4) based on the so-characterized interference, and assigning disjoint transmission time intervals to upstream communication from any one subscriber device of any one interfering group and to downstream communication towards any other subscriber device of the same interfering group.

The present invention also relates to a resource controller.

A symbol boundary detection method includes: calculating desired signal power according to a receiving signal by a receiver device; calculating interference power according to the receiving signal by the receiver device; calculating a signal-to-interference power ratio according to the desired signal power and the interference power by the receiver device; finding a best signal-to-interference power ratio to determine a reference symbol boundary time by the receiver device; and processing the receiving signal according to the reference symbol boundary time by the receiver device for a subsequent demodulation process performed by a demodulator circuit.

Methods and apparatuses disclosed herein enable the use of Demodulation Reference Signal, DMRS, sequences that are numbered relative to an overall system bandwidth, while simultaneously enabling wireless communication devices to determine the DRMS sequence elements mapped to their scheduled bandwidths within the system bandwidth. Advantageously, the wireless communication devices need not know the system bandwidth, or even be aware of where their scheduled bandwidths reside within the system bandwidth.

To appropriately select a beam used in communication in an environment in which massive-MIMO beamforming is performed, there is provided a base station including: a communication unit configured to form multiple beams and perform communication with a terminal apparatus; and a control unit configured to transmit, to the terminal apparatus, first identification information of a group that is used in communication with the terminal apparatus among the first identification information allocated to groups each of which includes multiple beams to be formed.

Various embodiments provide a data communication method. Under the method, a transmit end maps each code block group CBG in N CBGs to each layer in a corresponding layer group based on a correspondence between the N CBGs and N layer groups. Each layer group includes at least one layer, and N is a positive integer. The transmit end then sends data to a receive end. T transport block corresponding to the data includes the N CBGs. In this way, a mapping relationship between a CBG and a layer group is established by grouping layers, so as to improve data reception quality, through interference cancellation, for transmission among different layer groups, and ensure adaptivity to a CBG-based retransmission feedback, thereby optimizing transmission performance of an entire communications system.

A radio transmission apparatus determines information indicative of an estimated communications channel condition and generates a single modulation signal or a plurality of modulation signals based on the estimated communications channel condition information. The single modulation signal is transmitted from a first antenna of a plurality of antenna or the plurality of modulation signals are transmitted from the first antenna and at least a second antenna of the plurality of antenna. The plurality of modulation signals include different information from each other and are transmitted over an identical frequency band and at an identical temporal point. The single modulation signal and the plurality of modulation signals contain parameter information indicating a number of modulation signals transmitted at the same time.

A transmission method of a physical signal, a terminal, and a base station are provided. The transmission method may include receiving first configuration information, determining a measurement time-frequency resource for a residual self-interference measurement based on the first configuration information, performing the residual self-interference measurement on the measurement time-frequency resource to obtain a measurement result, transmitting feedback information determined according to the measurement result, receiving second configuration information determined according to the feedback information and determining a duplex mode of a terminal based on the second configuration information. According to the present disclosure, interference during a signal transmission procedure may be reduced.

A communication method and an apparatus are provided, to implement inter-cell interference randomization. The method includes: generating a demodulation reference signal based on a first parameter, where the first parameter includes a radio frame number of a radio frame for sending the demodulation reference signal; and sending the demodulation reference signal and a first channel, where the first channel is for carrying uplink control information, and the demodulation reference signal is a reference signal for demodulating the first channel.

Artificial intelligence procedures are disclosed for localizing faults in corrupted messages in 5G and 6G, and for correcting those faults based on measured parameters such as backgrounds and message signals according to pulse-amplitude modulation. An AI model with multiple adjustable variables may be “trained” using a large number of message events, including faulted messages, to determine which message elements are likely faulted, based on input parameters such as modulation quality, SNR, and other signal properties. The receiving entity can then attempt a grid search to correct the faulted message elements, or request a retransmission. For field use by base stations and user devices, an algorithm may be developed based on the AI model, and configured to predict which message elements are likely faulted. By detecting and correcting message faults, networks may increase reliability and reduce latency while avoiding most retransmission costs and delays, according to some embodiments.

A packet detecting method includes receiving the wireless signal, generating a local characteristic sequence, acquiring a first cross-correlation result between the wireless signal and the local characteristic sequence, determining if a packet format of the wireless signal is a target packet format according to the first correlation result, generating at least one interference characteristic sequence according to the local characteristic sequence, a signal sampling frequency, and at least one working frequency difference, acquiring a second cross-correlation result between the wireless signal and the at least one interference characteristic sequence, and detecting a center frequency of the wireless signal for determining if a packet of the wireless signal is transmitted through a target channel according to the first correlation result and the second correlation result. The at least one interference characteristic sequence corresponds to at least one interference frequency.
