According to one embodiment, a method for transmitting an uplink signal includes transmitting the uplink signal including a block of data symbols. The block of data symbols are mapped to at least two sets of subcarrier blocks. Each data symbol of the block of data symbols is mapped to one of subcarriers of the at least two sets of subcarrier blocks. The at least two sets of subcarrier blocks are not contiguous in frequency. The block of data symbols are mapped in sequence starting with a first data symbol to the at least two sets of subcarrier blocks and in increasing order of subcarrier index.

In one aspect, a wireless device receives a first data transmission from a base station in a first subframe interval and transmits HARQ feedback and/or CSI to the base station in a subsequent subframe interval, within a duration that is less than a maximum transmission duration that is possible within the subsequent subframe interval. In another aspect, a base station transmits a first data transmission to a wireless device in a first subframe interval and receives HARQ feedback and/or CSI from the wireless device in a subsequent subframe interval, within a duration that is less than a maximum transmission duration that is possible within the subsequent subframe interval.

The present invention is designed to suitably reduce the degradation of spectral efficiency even when communication is performed using a waveform of a single-carrier transmission scheme. According to one aspect of the present invention, a user terminal has a receiving section that receives a downlink control signal, which schedules transmission of a data signal in accordance with a waveform that is based on a single-carrier transmission scheme, and a transmission section that transmits a sounding reference signal, which is different from an uplink sounding reference signal used in existing LTE and which has a wider transmission bandwidth than the data signal, by using the waveform based on the single-carrier transmission scheme.

A discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal time frequency space modulation method comprises the steps of performing DFT preceding processing and delay-Doppler domain mapping processing on the transmit data symbols, OTFS modulator, and performing delay-Doppler domain demapping processing and IDFT decoding processing on a received signal to realize demodulation; compared with the existing waveforms, including OFDM and DFT-s-OFDM, the proposed DFT-s-OTFS can reduce the bit error rate under high Doppler spread and the peak-to-average power ratio of the transmitted signal at the same time.

Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating multiplexing of time-varying DMRS within a symbol are disclosed herein. An example method for wireless communication at a receiving device includes receiving a first symbol of a single carrier waveform, the first symbol including a first set of DMRS resources. The example method also includes receiving a second symbol of the single carrier waveform, the second symbol including a second set of DMRS resources, the second set of DMRS resources associated with at least one of a DMRS starting location and a DMRS duration that is different than the first set of DMRS resources.

An over-the-air computation (AirComp) scheme is proposed for federated edge learning (FEEL) without channel state information (CSI) at the edge devices (EDs) or edge server (ES). The proposed scheme adopts the majority vote (MV) principle and uses pulse-position modulation (PPM) symbols constructed with discrete Fourier transform (DFT)-spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) (DFT-s-OFDM) as votes from EDs. By taking the delay spread and synchronization errors into account, we show how to eliminate the need for truncated-channel inversion (TCI) at the EDs and detect MV at the ED with a non-coherent detector. The proposed method naturally reduces the peak-to-mean envelope power ratio (PMEPR) of the signal as it inherits the properties of the single-carrier (SC) waveform. An alternative proposed scheme also adopts the majority vote (MV) principle but further defines multiple subcarriers and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols for voting options, which reduces to frequency-shift keying (FSK) over OFDM subcarriers as a special case. Since the votes from EDs are separated on orthogonal resources, the proposed scheme eliminates the need for truncated-channel inversion (TCI) at the EDs and allows the ES to detect MV with a non-coherent detector. We also mitigate the peak-to-mean envelope power ratio (PMEPR) of the synthesized signals by using randomization symbols. Through simulations, we show that the proposed schemes provide high test accuracy in fading channels for both independent and identically distributed (IID) and non-IID data while resulting in lower PMEPR symbols as compared to one-bit broadband digital aggregation (OBDA) with quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM).
