Embodiments of this application disclose an information transmission method and an apparatus. The method includes: sending, by a terminal to a base station, capability indication information used to indicate whether the terminal supports non-coherent joint transmission; and receiving downlink control information sent by the base station, where the downlink control information is based on the capability indication information. According to the embodiments of this application, the base station can know whether the terminal supports NCJT, so as to select an appropriate transmission mode.

An apparatus is disclosed, comprising means for identifying a plurality of user equipment (UE), each transmitting one or more uplink packets for decoding at a base station associated with a given cell of a radio network. The apparatus further comprises means for clustering the identified user equipment into joint processing groups, each joint processing group comprising the identities of two or more user equipment as clustered and means for performing, in a first processing stage, joint processing of the uplink data streams for identified user equipment within common joint processing groups using one or more first processing algorithms to produce corresponding first processed uplink data streams. The apparatus further discloses means for performing one or more subsequent processing stages on the first processed uplink data streams, subsequent to the joint processing, to produce decoded uplink data streams, the one or more subsequent processing stages using one or more second processing algorithms, different from the first processing algorithm.

A radio frequency (RF) front end for wireless communications, in particular for use in a half duplex (HD) and/or full duplex (FD) transceiver. The RF front end is based on a quadrature balanced power amplifier (QBPA). The RF front end includes an antenna port for outputting a transmit signal to and receiving a receive signal from an antenna, and a receive port for outputting the receive signal to a signal processing section. Further, the QBPA is configured to receive a transmit input signal at a first port, receive a cancellation input signal at a fourth port, and receive the receive signal at a second port coupled to the antenna port.

The disclosed systems, structures, and methods are directed to a wireless receiver. The configurations presented herein employ a signal encoding module to encode a plurality of received analog signals with an orthogonal code set and combine the encoded analog signals into a single encoded analog composite signal, an analog-to-digital conversion unit to convert the single encoded analog composite signal into a single encoded digital composite signal containing constituent digital signals. The presented configurations also include a bank of multiple successive interference cancellation (SiC) modules to sequentially remove the constituent digital signals from the single encoded digital composite signal until a single constituent digital signal remains and a decoding module configured to decode the remaining constituent digital signal from the single encoded digital composite signal.

A terrestrial network node of a terrestrial mobile communication network is operated to simultaneously serve terrestrial and aerial coverage on a same carrier frequency. Such operation includes directing a first reception beam towards an aerial radio node. A second reception beam is directed towards a user equipment in the terrestrial mobile communication network. The signal received in the first reception beam is filtered to create a replica of a signal transmitted by the aerial radio node as received by the second reception beam. The replica is subtracted from the signal received by the second reception beam.
