The present disclosure relates to a method carried out by a terminal in a wireless communication system, and a device supporting same, and more specifically relates to a method comprising a step of obtaining a message A comprising a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and a physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble, and a step of transmitting the message A, wherein the PUSCH is transmitted on the basis of information related to a PUSCH configuration for the message A that is being received, and, on the basis of the information relating to the PUSCH configuration comprising information relating to the instruction of a code division multiplexing (CDM) group for a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) for the PUSCH, the CDM group is set to be a group indicated by information relating to the indication of the CDM group among two pre-set groups. The present disclosure also relates to a device supporting same.

A transport block size (TBS) of a first uplink message (RACH Msg3) transmitted on a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) during a random access procedure in a User Equipment (UE) accessing a radio access network may be determined by receiving a pathloss threshold parameter. A downlink pathloss value indicative of radio link conditions between the UE and a base station (eNB) serving the UE is then determined. A smaller value of TBS is selected from a set of TBS values if the determined pathloss value is greater than an operating power level of the UE minus the pathloss threshold parameter. A larger value of TBS is selected if the pathloss value is less than the operating power level of the UE minus the pathloss threshold parameter and the TBS required to transmit the RACH Msg3 exceeds the smaller TBS value.

A method and an apparatus for transmitting a physical layer protocol data unit that can provide a short training field sequence for a larger channel bandwidth. The short training field sequence has a smaller peak-to-average power ratio PAPR and better performance. The method includes: generating a physical layer protocol data unit PPDU, where the PPDU includes a short training field, a length of a frequency domain sequence of the short training field is greater than a first length, and the first length is a length of a frequency domain sequence of a short training field of a PPDU transmitted on a channel with a bandwidth of 160 MHz; and sending the PPDU on a target channel, where a bandwidth of the target channel is greater than 160 MHz.

A communication apparatus includes a receiver and a decoder. The receiver includes a plurality of antenna elements and, in operation, receives from a base station apparatus a modulated signal mapped to one of a plurality of subframes defined in a frame corresponding to a communicable range to which the communication apparatus belongs. The plurality of subframes are defined by time-division, frequency-division, or time-and-frequency division of the frame. A maximum number of modulated signals that can be simultaneously transmitted in a subframe from the base station apparatus varies depending on the communicable range. The decoder, in operation, decodes the received modulated signal.

An access point manages a first wireless local area network (WLAN) in a 6 GHz radio frequency (RF) band and ii) a second WLAN operating in another RF band. The access point generates a physical layer (PHY) data unit to include a management frame having i) first information indicating first network parameters of the first WLAN, and ii) second information indicating second network parameters of the second WLAN. The AP transmits the PHY data unit in the other RF band to provide, to any client stations that are operating in the other RF band and that are also capable of operating in the 6 GHz band: the first information indicating the first network parameters of the first WLAN operating in the 6 GHz RF band to assist the any client stations that are operating in the other RF band with joining the first WLAN operating in the 6 GHz RF band.

Devices and methods of using xSS are generally disclosed. A UE receives an xPSS with (N.sub.rep) symbols each with a subcarrier spacing of K×a PSS subcarrier spacing and a duration of a PSS symbol/K. PSD subcarriers surround the xPSS and the ZC sequence is punctured to avoid transmission on a DC subcarrier. Guard subcarriers separate the xPSS and PSD when the ZC sequence is less than the occupied BW of the xPSS and at least one element in the ZC sequence is punctured for xPSS symbol generation otherwise. One or more xSSSs and xS-SCHs may follow the xPSS. The xSS may be omnidirectional, each having a same xPSS and different xSSS or xS-SCH or a different xPSS and same xSSS or xS-SCH or beamformed, each having different xPSSs and xSSSs or xS-SCHs or a same xPSS and different xSSS or xS-SCH.

Uplink messages in 5G and 6G are expected to arrive at the base station in alignment with the base station's resource grid, at the proper time and frequency. Disclosed are lean procedures and compact timing signals that can enable user devices to maintain synchronization with a base station's resource grid. Shaped timing signals are disclosed that, when measured by a receiver, can indicate whether the receiver's clock is synchronized with the transmitter's clock, or is in disagreement, and in which direction, and by how much. The receiver thereby determines the clock error by amplitude measurements only, since the timing signal is configured to convert the timing error into a readily determined amplitude value, which the receiver can quantify using normal amplitude-demodulation procedures. The receiver's amplitude resolution corresponds to the time resolution achievable. No special time-measurement signal processing is required. No synchronization messages or other legacy overhead are required.

In one embodiment, an apparatus includes: a baseband processor having a preamble generation circuit to generate a preamble for an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission, the preamble generation circuit to generate the preamble having a first portion comprising a first plurality of symbols, each of the first plurality of symbols having a plurality of carriers, where a subset of the plurality of carriers have non-zero values, the preamble generation circuit to generate the non-zero values using a sequence of complex values selected to optimize a peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR); a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) coupled to the baseband processor to convert the first plurality of symbols to analog signals; a mixer coupled to the DAC to upconvert the analog signals to radio frequency (RF) signals; and a power amplifier coupled to the mixer to amplify the RF signals.

Technology for a Next Generation NodeB (gNB) operable to encode a primary synchronization signal for transmission to a user equipment (UE) is disclosed. The gNB can identify a sequence d(n) for a primary synchronization signal. The sequence d(n) can be defined by: d(n)=1−2s(n), where s(n) is a maximum run length sequence (m-sequence) and s(n) is provided as s(n+7)=(s(n+4)+s(n))mod 2, where 0≤n≤127. The gNB can generate the primary synchronization signal based on the sequence d(n). The gNB can encode the primary synchronization signal for transmission to the UE.

Provided is a method and apparatus for using an offset between a synchronization signal block and a resource block grid. The method may include receiving, by a user device, a synchronization signal (SS) block comprising a synchronization signal and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH), determining, from the PBCH, a value of a subcarrier offset between the SS block and an RB grid, determining, based on the value of the subcarrier offset and a frequency location of the SS block, the RB grid, and decoding, based on the determined RB grid, one or more of a reference signal, a control channel, or a data channel.
