A donor communication station transmits a unicast transmission comprising a plurality of device data sets where each device data set directed to each of a plurality of user equipment (UE) devices. A relay node receives the unicast transmission and retransmits the data sets in a broadcast transmission over a broadcast communication channel to the plurality of UE devices. In one example, the donor communication station encodes data for multiple user equipment (UE) devices by applying broadcast encoding to the data for each device before applying outer encoding to the data. The dual encoded data is transmitted to the relay node over a dedicated channel. The relay node applies outer decoding to the dual encoded data to retrieve the broadcast encoded data. The relay node then transmits the broadcast encoded device data in a broadcast transmission without outer encoding.

According to one or more embodiments, a network node configured to communicate with a wireless device is provided. The network node includes processing circuitry configured to: receive a channel state information, CSI, report indicating a bias of the CSI report; determine the bias of the CSI report based at least on the indication; and set an initial outerloop link adaptation, OLLA, based at least on the determined bias of the CSI report.

Provided are a method and device for determining a transmission mode, a storage medium and an electronic device. The method includes acquiring information for determining the transmission mode, where the information includes at least one of: service profile information about a first service from an upper layer of a first terminal or an application layer of the first terminal, access layer information about the first terminal, transmission parameter information configured for the first terminal by a base station, or capability information about a second terminal of a proximity service; and determining the transmission mode according to the information. This can solve the problem in the existing art of how to perform communication better when there are UEs of different types or different capabilities in a system.

A base station determines a temporal filter configuration for a user equipment (UE) and transmits the temporal filter configuration to the UE. The temporal filter configuration indicates whether the UE should apply a temporal filter to channel state information (CSI) measurements to generate CSI values, or identifies which temporal filter to apply. The UE generates CSI values based on the temporal filter configuration and reports the generated CSI values to the base station.

An origination device (e.g., a base station) receives relaying information from a signal forwarding device in a grant or a broadcast message. The relaying information can be information pertaining to channel conditions and/or quality (e.g., a Channel Quality Indicator) of a first communication link between the signal forwarding device and a destination device, and/or an encoding rate based on channel conditions associated with the first communication link. The origination device utilizes the relaying information to determine a first set of encoding parameters that correspond to channel conditions associated with the first communication link between the signal forwarding device and a destination device. The origination device encodes a first set of data according to the first set of encoding parameters and transmits the encoded first set of data to the signal forwarding device. The signal forwarding device transmits the encoded first set of data to the destination device.

A method performed by a wireless device (121, 122) for determining Channel State Information, CSI, estimates to be transmitted in a CSI report for the wireless device (121, 122) to a network node (110) in a radio communications network (100) is provided. The wireless device (121, 122) receives a message comprising an indication to use CSI estimates corresponding to a determined period of time. In response to said message, the wireless device (121, 122) determines CSI estimates to be used in the CSI report to the network node (110) according to the received indication. A wireless device (121, 122) is also described.

A network node (110) and method therein for controlling CSI estimates transmitted by one or more wireless devices (121, 122) in CSI reports to the network node (110) in a radio communications network (100) are also provided.

The present disclosure provides a CSI processing method and apparatus, a device, and a storage medium. The terminal sends the first feedback information to a network device upon receiving the CSI feedback indication from the network device, thereby informing the network device of a current CSI feedback situation through the first feedback information. This enables the network device to adopt differentiated manners based on the first feedback information to obtain the CSI, thereby improving the reliability of the CSI feedback and ensuring the transmission performance of the system.

The present disclosure relates to methods for obtaining a quantity of blind detection times, and apparatus. One example method comprises receiving, by a terminal device, second information from a network device, where the second information comprises subcarrier spacing information, and determining, by the terminal device based on the subcarrier spacing information, a maximum quantity of blind detection times for the terminal device in a search space.

The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving data in a wireless communication system. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a scheduling method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving data in a wireless communication system using a sliding window superposition coding scheme. In the present disclosure, in a wireless communication system, if a UE is located in a cell edge, data throughput can be improved. An eNB using an SWSC scheme can provide fast scheduling. An eNB can provide higher throughput.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station and in a first slot, an indication of a signal to noise ratio (SNR) mode, of a plurality of SNR modes, to be used by the UE for one or more downlink communications in one or more slots that occur after the first slot, wherein different SNR modes of the plurality of SNR modes support at least one of different modulation and coding schemes, different ranks, or a combination thereof; and operate using the SNR mode in the one or more slots based at least in part on the indication. Numerous other aspects are provided.
