Disclosed are techniques for receiving reference radio frequency (RF) signals for positioning estimation. In an aspect, a receiver device receives, from a transmission point, a reference RF signal on a wireless channel receives, from a positioning entity, an indication that the reference RF signal serves as a source for a quasi-collocation (QCL) type(s) for positioning reference RF signals received by the receiver device from the transmission point on the wireless channel, measures an average delay, a delay spread, or both the average delay and the delay spread of the reference RF signal based on the QCL type(s), receives, from the transmission point, a positioning reference RF signal on the wireless channel, and identifies a time of arrival (ToA) of the positioning reference RF signal based on the measured average delay, the delay spread, or both the average delay and the delay spread of the reference RF signal.

A method and apparatus are provided. The method includes, but is not limited to, receiving a universal synchronization signal (USS) including a universal primary synchronization signal (UPSS) and a universal secondary synchronization signal (USSS), wherein the USS is coded using a mother code which is extended to m resource blocks (RBs) and n orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols and a code cover of m RBs and n symbols is applied to the mother code, determining a cell identity based on the USS, determining a frame timing based on the USS, and connecting a user equipment to a network using the cell identity and the frame timing.

The present disclosure relates to methods, systems and devices for use in a wireless terminal includes transmitting, to a wireless network node, a preamble comprising a plurality of parts, wherein each of the plurality of parts comprises at least one sub-preamble and the sub-preambles in the plurality of parts are generated based on a plurality of roots.

In an example method, a first device determines a first Zadoff-Chu sequence having a first root value, and a second Zadoff-Chu sequence having a second root value, where the first root value is an inverse modulus of the first root value. Further, the first device generates a wireless signal including (i) a first preamble generated based, at least in part, on the first Zadoff-Chu sequence, (ii) a second preamble generated based, at least in part, on the second Zadoff-Chu sequence, and (iii) a payload. Further, the first device transmits the wireless signal from the first device to a second device.

It is an object to provide a sequence allocating method that, while maintaining the number of Zadoff-Chu sequences to compose a sequence group, is configured to make it possible to reduce correlations between different sequential groups. This method comprises the steps of setting a standard sequence with a standard sequence length and a standard sequence number in a step, setting a threshold value in accordance with an RB number in a step, setting a sequence length corresponding to RB number in a step, judging whether ¦r/N−rb/Nb¦=Xth(m) is satisfied in a step, including a plurality of Zadoff-Chu sequences with a sequence number and a sequence length in a sequence group in a step if the judgment is positive, and allocating the sequence group to the same cell in a step.

A terminal and a storage medium are provided. The storage medium stores a program for causing a processor to implement a method performed by the terminal, the method includes: sending, to a network device, first indication information which is used to indicate, to the network device, at least one of: number of first SRS resource sets required by the terminal, number of first SRS resources in a first SRS resource set, maximum layer number of uplink multi-antenna transmission of the terminal, whether uplink transmission channels of the terminal are coherent, and maximum number of PTRS ports supported for uplink transmission by the terminal, and is used by the network device to determine second indication information used to instruct the terminal to send an SRS signal; receiving second indication information sent by the network device; sending an SRS signal according to second indication information.

In the multiple short sequence based SRS, multiple items of sequence data having a short sequence length corresponding to a partial band are used for transmitting SRS in discontinuous bands. In the multiple short sequence based SRS, a terminal specifies a frequency domain to be used for transmitting a reference signal using predetermined sequence data, applies a phase shift index associated with the specified frequency domain to the reference signal, and transmits the reference signal to which the phase shift index is applied by using the specified frequency domain.

The present disclosure proposes schemes, techniques, designs and methods pertaining to transmission and reception of random access preambles to aid integration of terrestrial mobile network communication and non-terrestrial network (NTN) communication. The design of a proposed preamble is suitable for terrestrial mobile networks and for transmission scenarios with Doppler frequency shift and long propagation delay in NTN communications. The structure of the proposed preamble is used in random access of terrestrial and NTNs. The structure of the preamble can be modified based on the preamble design used for terrestrial network communication, so that it can be used in the random access of NTNs.
