The present technology relates to a wireless communication apparatus and a wireless communication method that make it possible to read necessary information even in a case where a physical header at a top portion of a signal transmitted from a base station of another BSS fails to be received and the signal is received from the middle. The wireless communication apparatus includes a communication section configured to generate and transmit an OFDM signal in which second information is superimposed in a frequency axis direction of the OFDM signal which includes first information destined for one or more subordinate client devices. The present technology can be applied to a wireless communication apparatus and so forth that perform wireless communication, for example, standardized by IEEE 802.11.

A synchronization signal block (SSB) transmitted by a neighbor base station may interfere with a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmitted by a serving base station. A user equipment (UE) that receives both the SSB and PDSCH may mitigate the interference to improve an error rate of decoding the PDSCH. The UE may receive a first SSB including a first broadcast channel (BCH) from a second base station other than a serving base station. The UE may decode the first SSB. The UE may determine, based on the first SSB and the first BCH, that the PDSCH scheduled by the serving base station will overlap with a second SSB from the second base station. The UE may estimate a channel of the second SSB based on the decoded first SSB. The UE may remove a reconstructed second SSB from the PDSCH. The UE may decode the PDSCH.

Provided is a method for generating inter-cell information for inter-cell interference removal in a wireless communication system. A method by which a terminal removes inter-cell interference comprises the steps of: receiving a signal from a serving cell and a neighboring cell adjacent to the serving cell; identifying the priority of the serving cell for feedback of channel information on the basis of an identifier of the cell and a resource block; identifying whether there is feedback of channel information on the signal received on the basis of the priority; and transmitting the channel information to a base station of the serving cell according to the identification of whether there is feedback.

A user equipment (UE) can include processing circuitry configured to decode downlink control information (DCI) from a base station, the DCI including a modulation coding scheme (MCS) index and physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) allocation. A demodulation reference signal (DMRS) is encoded for transmission to the base station within a plurality of DMRS symbols based on the PUSCH allocation. A phase tracking reference signal (PT-RS) time domain density is determined based on the MCS index and a number count of the DM-RS symbols for the DM-RS transmission. The PTRS is encoded for transmission using a plurality of PT-RS symbols based on the determined time domain density. The plurality of symbols includes one or both of front-loaded DM-RS symbols and additional DM-RS symbols.

A radio communication device capable of randomizing both inter-cell interference and intra-cell interference. In this device, a spreading section primarily spreads a response signal in a ZAC sequence set by a control unit. A spreading section secondarily spreads the primarily spread response signal in a block-wise spreading code sequence set by the control unit. The control unit controls the cyclic shift amount of the ZAC sequence used for the primary spreading in the spreading section and the block-wise spreading code sequence used for the secondary spreading in the spreading section according to a set hopping pattern. The hopping pattern set by the control unit is made up of two hierarchies. An LB-based hopping pattern different for each cell is defined in the first hierarchy in order to randomize the inter-cell interference. A hopping pattern different for each mobile station is defined in the second hierarchy to randomize the intra-cell interference.

The transmission of a reference signal, such as a CSI-RS, is enabled while maintaining a power saving effect when performing inter-cell cooperative transmission/reception or the like in a plurality of cells. In order to realize inter-cell cooperative transmission/reception, a CSI-RS which is used for estimating the state of a spatial propagation path of a communication line is generated by a CSI-RS generation unit, and the CSI-RS is disposed in a predetermined subframe by a disposition unit and transmitted. At this time, when a frame has ten subframes #0 to #9, the CSI-RS is disposed in the subframes #4 and #9, which are subframes excluding the subframes #0 and #5 incapable of transmitting a CSI-RS and are subframes other than subframes capable of acting as MBSFN subframes when discontinuous communication (Extended Cell DTX) is performed so as to achieve power saving, and transmitted.

The present invention provides an electronic device for mitigating inter-cell interference in a dynamic TDD environment, the electronic device including: at least one antenna array including antenna elements; and a processor configured to use the antenna array and form a plurality of reception beams having mutually different directions, wherein at least one processor may enable: a first beam pair link to be formed with a first transmission beam emitted from a first base station by using a first reception beam having a first direction; information about a first TDD pattern indicating a TDD sequence set in a serving cell formed by the first base station and information about a second TDD pattern indicating a TDD sequence set in an adjacent cell adjacent to a serving cell formed by a second base station to be acquired; a first portion of the first TDD pattern to be selected on the basis of the information about the first TDD pattern and the information about the second TDD pattern; the detection of whether interference has occurred in the first portion; and a second beam pair link to be formed with one among transmission beams emitted from the second base station by using a second reception beam having a second direction different from the first direction, when the interference is determined to have occurred.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for interference management with adaptive resource block (RB) allocation. In an exemplary method, a user equipment (UE) receives, from a base station (BS), an indication of a first set of resource blocks (RBs) to receive a first downlink (DL) transmission in a time interval, the UE receives, from the BS, an indication of a dynamically allocated second set of RBs to receive a second DL transmission from the BS in the time interval, and the UE alters one or more parameters of a receiver, based on the second set of RBs, when receiving the second DL transmission on the second set of RBs. Altering the one or more parameters may include switching a phase-locked loop (PLL) of the receiver to a center frequency determined based on the second set of RBs.

A system is configured to obtain an estimated degree of interference for each of a plurality of beams. The estimated degrees of interference are determined based on properties of received signals transmitted by a transmitter in the first cell using the plurality of beams. The signals have been received by mobile devices while in the serving area of at least one second cell. The system is further configured to take a decision, based on the estimated degrees of interference, whether to avoid usage of one or more beams and/or whether to adjust one or more beams, which are transmitted in a spectrum shared by the cells, determine a set of beams in accordance with the decision, and cause the transmitter to use the set of beams to transmit wireless signals to mobile devices in the first cell.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for performing wireless communication by a UE in a first cell is provided. The method may include: obtaining first N streams based on precoding of a transmit symbol vector obtained based on N data symbols, and transmitting the first N streams to an AP based on first M antennas, wherein the first N streams are received by the AP included in the first cell based on second M antennas, wherein the precoding is performed based on a cross-channel from the UE to a second cell which is different from the first cell, and wherein the N is equal to half of the M, and the M and the N are positive integers.
