Systems and methods employing a Radio Frequency (RF) communication link that transmits three or more RF signals in one direction, with each signal carrying its own data stream. The signals share time, frequency and space resources and define polarities separated by a pre-determined, substantially non-orthogonal angle. A Multi-Polarity Interference Cancellation (MPIC) feature removes the multi-channel interference for each distinct channel.

A signal receiving method, a signal transmission method, UE, and a network device are provided. The signal receiving method includes: determining a frequency domain position and/or spatial domain position for receiving a signal, wherein the frequency domain position includes one or more of a plurality of frequency domain positions, and the spatial domain position includes one or more of a plurality of spatial domain positions; and receiving the signal at the determined frequency domain position and/or spatial domain position. The signal is one or more of a pre-indication signal, information carried in a PDCCH, and a paging message.

A network system includes access points and wireless devices. Each wireless device can exchange data with at least one access point that includes a diversity matrix defining at least two data exchange connections between a first wireless device and at least one access point for exchanging data between the first wireless device and the at least one access point. The diversity matrix indicates a space domain with at least one access point, a frequency domain with at least one data transmission frequency value, and a time domain with at least one data transmission time. Each data exchange connection is defined by an access point, a data transmission frequency, and a data transmission time, selected from the diversity matrix. The at least two data exchange connections between the first wireless device and the at least one access point are configured to transmit the same information.

When transmitting signals from a plurality of base stations (broadcasting stations), the base stations include at least a first base station having a first antenna with a first polarization and a second base station having a second antenna with a second polarization that is different from the first polarization. Then, when the first base station transmits a signal from the first antenna having the first polarization, the second base station transmits the same signal as the first antenna of the first base station from a second antenna having the second polarization, at the same time.

Systems and methods for performing efficient blind decoding. A first plurality of decision metrics corresponding to a first repetition of periodic decoding information is stored. The first plurality of decision metrics is grouped into sequential portions. A plurality of combined versions of the sequential portions is stored into combining buffers arranged in sequence. Each combined version is associated with a different sequence of timing information. A first of the plurality of combined versions stored in a first of the combining buffers is combined with a second version of a second plurality of decision metrics that corresponds to a second repetition of the periodic decoding information. The second version is associated with timing information adjacent in the timing information sequence to the timing information associated with the first combined version. The data is decoded based on information in the combining buffers.

A method and apparatus for implementing spatial processing with unequal modulation and coding schemes (MCSs) or stream-dependent MCSs are disclosed. Input data may be parsed into a plurality of data streams, and spatial processing is performed on the data streams to generate a plurality of spatial streams. An MCS for each data stream is selected independently. The spatial streams are transmitted via multiple transmit antennas. At least one of the techniques of space time block coding (STBC), space frequency block coding (SFBC), quasi-orthogonal Alamouti coding, time reversed space time block coding, linear spatial processing and cyclic delay diversity (CDD) may be performed on the data/spatial streams. An antennal mapping matrix may then be applied to the spatial streams. The spatial streams are transmitted via multiple transmit antennas. The MCS for each data stream may be determined based on a signal-to-noise ratio of each spatial stream associated with the data stream.

Improved methods, systems, devices, or apparatus that support prioritization for potential shared data transmissions are described. In some cases, a receiving device may identify transmission parameters for shared transmissions including a scheduled shared transmission and determine resources for a potential shared transmission. The receiving device may monitor for the shared transmission(s) based on priority rules for a shared transmission and the potential shared transmission. For instance, the receiving device may be configured to receive only one of the scheduled or potential shared transmission. In some cases, the transmitting device may consider the priority rules and determine whether to transmit or drop one or more shared transmissions.

The disclosure provides for interference mitigation for wireless signals in unlicensed spectrum. A wireless device may receive a combined signal including a first radio access technology (RAT) signal and a second RAT signal. The wireless device may generate, using a first RAT receiver in a first processing path, a channel estimate for the first RAT signal based on a previously decoded signal of the first RAT. The wireless device may reduce interference to the second RAT signal caused by the first RAT signal, in a second processing path, using the channel estimate. The wireless device may further decode the second RAT signal. The wireless device may remodulate the decoded signal using a transmitter to generate a remodulated second RAT signal. The remodulated second RAT signal may be canceled from the combined signal. The wireless device may decode a remaining portion of the combined signal including the first RAT signal.

A method and apparatus for increasing the data rate and providing antenna diversity using multiple transmit antennas utilize a set of bits of a digital signal to generate a codeword. Delay elements may be provided in antenna output channels, or, with suitable code construction, delay may be omitted. n signals represent n symbols of a codeword are transmitted with n different transmit antennas. At the receiver, the noisy received sequence is decoded. The parallel transmission and channel coding enables an increase the data rate over previous techniques, and recovery even under fading conditions. The channel coding may be concatenated with error correction codes under appropriate conditions.
