Method for generating an OFDM training sequence, device and computer program product. The OFDM training sequence consists of at least two OFDM symbols, and the OFDM training sequence comprises at least two OFDM sub-carriers, the method comprising a step of partitioning the OFDM sub-carriers into at least two separate groups comprising at least one sub-carrier, a number of groups being smaller than a number of sub-carriers. The method comprises steps, carried out independently for each group, of generating an elementary sequence associated with a group by combining the sub-carriers of the group, the elementary sequence having a duration equal to a duration of one of the at least two symbols.

This application provides a method and an apparatus for determining a frequency-domain offset, a communication device, and a readable storage medium. The method includes: detecting a synchronization signal block SSB; and determining, based on a first indicator field and/or a second indicator field in the SSB, a frequency-domain offset of the SSB with respect to a common resource block raster, where the first indicator field is an SSB frequency-domain offset indicator field, and the second indicator field is part or all of at least one indicator field different from the first indicator field.

The guard-space reference disclosed herein is a signal transmitted in the guard spaces separating message data intervals, and configured to reveal amplitude noise or phase noise or both, using 5G or 6G technology. For example, the transmitter can transmit an I-branch with a predetermined amplitude level, and an orthogonal Q branch with zero amplitude, in the guard space. The receiver can measure the received amplitude and phase of the guard-space reference, subtract the initial amplitude and phase, and thereby measure both phase noise and amplitude noise. The receiver can then subtract the measured amplitude and phase effects from the message data, thereby negating both phase noise and amplitude noise. Guard-space references disclosed herein can preserve the inter-subcarrier orthogonality, inter-symbol separation, and signal circularity advantages of prior art, while additionally providing both amplitude noise and phase noise mitigation. Examples are suitable for wireless standards.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) with the capability to support a single active TCI state may receive configuration signaling which configures the UE with an active transmission configuration indication (TCI) state corresponding to a first beam for a control resource set and a shared data channel. The UE may perform a random access channel procedure to select a second beam from a set of different beams. The UE may update a quasi co-location (QCL) assumption for the control resource set to correspond to the second beam and deactivate the active TCI state based on updating the QCL assumption. The UE may then monitor the control resource set, the shared data channel, or both, using the second beam. The UE may deactivate the TCI state and use the indicated downlink beam so that the UE does not exceed its capability.

A receiver for OFDM subcarriers has a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode, a tunable system clock is output at a nominal frequency, and in the second mode, the tunable system clock is offset so that a harmonic of the tunable system clock coincides with a particular OFDM subcarrier. The tunable system clock is coupled to a programmable modem PLL clock generator which generates clocks for an A/D converter coupled to a baseband processor which is also coupled to the programmable modem PLL clock generator. The programmable modem PLL clock generator is programmed to maintain a constant output frequency of each output in the first mode and the second mode.

A synchronization signal block (SSB) transmitted by a neighbor base station may interfere with a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmitted by a serving base station. A user equipment (UE) that receives both the SSB and PDSCH may mitigate the interference to improve an error rate of decoding the PDSCH. The UE may receive a first SSB including a first broadcast channel (BCH) from a second base station other than a serving base station. The UE may decode the first SSB. The UE may determine, based on the first SSB and the first BCH, that the PDSCH scheduled by the serving base station will overlap with a second SSB from the second base station. The UE may estimate a channel of the second SSB based on the decoded first SSB. The UE may remove a reconstructed second SSB from the PDSCH. The UE may decode the PDSCH.

A method and apparatus for performing an uplink (UL) synchronization in a wireless communication system is provided. A user equipment (UE) configures at least one UL carrier in an UL-only spectrum, and performs UL synchronization on the at least one UL carrier. The UL synchronization on the at least one UL carrier may be performed by various methods.

A radio receiver for processing digital chirp spread-spectrum modulated signals that comprise a plurality of frequency chirps that are cyclically time-shifted replicas of a base chirp profile, said time-shifts being an encoded representation of a transmitted message. Includes a soft demapping unit that is adapted for working on fully populated as well as on partial modulation sets, and implements a timing error correction loop that acts back both in the time domain and in the frequency domain.

A first radio signal is received that was transmitted from a first antenna at a transmitter and a second radio signal transmitted from a second antenna at the transmitter different from the first antenna. The first radio signal is converted to a first orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) frame signal, and the second radio signal is converted to a second OFDM frame signal. The first OFDM frame signal includes a grid of multiple frequency subcarriers and time periods, each time period with the frequency carriers corresponding to a first OFDM symbol such that the first OFDM frame includes first OFDM symbols. A first OFDM symbol is carried on frequency subcarriers during a time period, and the first OFDM frame includes first reference OFDM symbols located at corresponding time-frequency resource elements in the grid. Each resource element is defined by a one of the frequency subcarriers and one of the time periods. The second OFDM frame signal is similar and includes second reference OFDM symbols sharing the same grid of frequency subcarriers and time periods as the first OFDM frame. But the second reference OFDM symbols are located at corresponding time-frequency resource elements in the grid different than the corresponding time-frequency resource elements to which the first reference OFDM signals are located their respective OFDM frame signals. The first and second reference OFDM symbols are used to demodulate the first and second OFDM frame signals.

A communication method and a related apparatus. The communication method includes determining, based on a starting location of a first remaining minimum system information RMSI detection window and a time index of a synchronization signal (SS)/physical broadcast channel (PBCH) block, a starting location of an RMSI detection window corresponding to a terminal device, where a value of the starting location of the RMSI detection window is one of four possible values of the starting location of the RMSI detection window, and receiving the RMSI based on the starting location of the RMSI detection window.
