Systems, devices, and methods of the present invention facilitate secure communication by altering the set of symbol waveforms that may be in use in particular symbol times defined herein as Symbol Waveform Hopping. SWH may be enabled by selecting two or more modulation formats that have sufficiently comparable communication performance (e.g., occupied bandwidth and signal power efficiency), but characterized by symbol waveform alphabet that include different symbol waveform, so that the overall transmission/communication performance of data stream in a signal transmission channel of the system is not significantly affected by switching between modulation formats. Some or all of the symbol waveforms in each alphabet may not be present in other alphabets.

In a multiuser (MU) multiple antenna system (MAS), a central processing unit is communicatively coupled to multiple distributed wireless terminals (WTs) via a network. The central processing unit processes channel measurements indicative of channel conditions between the multiple distributed WTs and a plurality of user devices and selects a plurality of WTs from the multiple distributed WTs to enhance channel space diversity within the MU-MAS. The central processing unit calculates (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) MIMO weights from the channel measurements for precoding a plurality of data streams that are transmitted concurrently from the plurality of WTs to the plurality of users, wherein the MIMO weights provide for a plurality of independent MIMO channels.

A method and apparatus for supporting multi transport block grant (MTBG) data transmission in a wireless communication system, such as an LTE system. The method includes increasing the number of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes in a HARQ cycle to greater than 8, where the HARQ processes are divided into two or more HARQ process groups. The method further includes specifying a delay indicative of time between the MTBG and commence of the data transmission and another delay indicative of time between the data transmission and acknowledgement (ACK).

A communication apparatus of the present disclosure includes a receiver which, in operation, receives a signal that includes a non-legacy preamble and a data field, the non-legacy preamble comprising a first field for indicating a number of spatial streams (Nss) in the data field and a second field for indicating one of a plurality of modulation and coding schemes (MCSs), wherein two or more frequency diversity transmission schemes are supported and one of the two or more frequency diversity transmission schemes is applied based on a value of the Nss; and circuitry which, in operation, decodes the signal.

A method for transmitting channel status information of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. The UE reports first channel information to a base station periodically; and reports second channel information to the base station periodically. The first channel information and the second channel information are pieces of information combined to indicate one precoding matrix. The second channel information reported in a specific subframe is calculated based on last reported first channel information. A channel quality indicator (CQI) reported in the specific subframe is calculated based on one precoding matrix indicated by the last reported first channel information and the second channel information reported in the specific subframe.
