In a reliable multi-cast, a concealment scheme may be applied to recover or conceal lost or otherwise corrupted packets of audio information for one channel based on the audio information of other channels in the reliable multi-cast. The concealment scheme may employ correction factors for channels derived from the channel relationships.

The present disclosure relates to a communication scheme for convergence of an IoT technology and a 5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate beyond a 4G system, and a system therefor. The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services (for example, smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart or connected cars, healthcare, digital education, retail businesses, security and security-related services, or the like) on the basis of a 5G communication technology and IoT-related technologies. The present invention provides a method for configuring a base graph of an LDPC code used for data channel transmission, and a method and an apparatus for segmentation of a transmission block by using an LDPC code.

Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), generation Node-B (gNB) and methods of communication are generally described herein. The UE may receive, from a gNB, a narrowband physical downlink control channel (NPDCCH) that indicates a number of narrowband internet-of-things (NB-IoT) downlink subframes for a downlink scheduling delay of a narrowband physical downlink shared channel (NPDSCH) in one or more radio frames configured for time-division duplexing (TDD) operation. Subframes of the one or more radio frames may include uplink subframes, NB-IoT downlink subframes for downlink NB-IoT transmissions, and downlink subframes for other downlink transmissions. The UE may determine the downlink scheduling delay based on an earliest subframe for which a count of NB-IoT downlink subframes is equal to the number of NB-IoT downlink subframes indicated in the NPDCCH.

The present invention relates to a method for transmitting and receiving channel quality information in a wireless communication system for supporting a Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) and a device therefor and, more particularly, the method comprising: transmitting and receiving a random access preamble; transmitting and receiving a random access response on the basis of the random access preamble; and transmitting and receiving channel quality information via a narrowband physical uplink shared channel (NPUSCH) on the basis of the random access response, wherein when the random access preamble is transmitted and received on the basis of a narrowband physical downlink control channel (NPDCCH) order in a radio resource control (RRC) connected state, the channel quality information is measured on the basis of a UE-specific search space (USS) set in the RRC connected state.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to mechanisms for code block segmentation in a wireless communication network (e.g., a sidelink network). In some examples, a wireless communication device may reserve resources across two or more slots on a carrier for transmission of a transport block. The wireless communication device may then select code block parameters for segmenting the transport block into a plurality of encoded code blocks such that each encoded code bock is fully contained within a single slot. In some examples, the code block parameters may include a number of encoded code blocks and a respective size of each of the encoded code blocks.

This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for increasing the transmit power of wireless communication devices operating on power spectral density (PSD)-limited wireless channels. Some implementations more specifically relate to tone mapping techniques and physical layer convergence protocol (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) designs that support duplicate (or “DUP mode”) transmissions with channel puncturing. In some implementations, a wireless communication device may transmit a PPDU carrying user data over a wireless channel excluding one or more punctured subchannels, where the user data is transmitted in a DUP mode. As such, the user data may be mapped to a number (N) of tones spanning a first portion of the wireless channel and a duplicate copy of the user data may be mapped to N tones spanning a second portion of the wireless channel.

Improved techniques for recovering from an error condition without requiring a re-transmittal of data across a high-speed data link and for improved power usage are disclosed herein. A data stream is initiated. This stream includes different types of packets. Error correcting code (ECC) is selectively imposed on a control data type packet. A transmitter node and a receiver node are connected via a hard link that has multiple virtual channels. Each virtual channel is associated with a corresponding power-consuming node. When the receiver node receives the control data type packet, error correction is performed if needed without re-transmittal. When a final data type packet is transmitted for each virtual channel, the transmitter node transmits an end condition type packet. A corresponding power-consuming node that corresponds to the respective virtual channel transitions from an active state to a low power state.
