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 pilot tone designs that support distributed transmission. A transmitting device may modulate a physical layer convergence protocol (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) on a number (M) of tones representing a logical RU associated with the legacy tone plan and may further map the M tones to M noncontiguous subcarrier indices associated with a wireless channel. The transmitting device may transmit the PPDU, over the wireless channel, with a number (N) of pilot tones each having a respective location relative to the M tones as mapped to the M noncontiguous subcarrier indices. In some implementations, the relative locations of the N pilot tones may be different than relative locations of a number (K) of pilot tones associated with the logical RU.

The present disclosure provides a method and a device in a UE and a base station for wireless communication. The UE receives a first signaling in a first resource element set and a first radio signal. The first resource element set determines a first information set out of M information sets; wherein M is equal to 2; the first resource element set comprises a positive integer number of resource element(s); any information set of the M information sets comprises a positive integer number of information element(s); any information element in the M information sets is a transmission configuration indication state; any information element of the integer number of information element(s) comprises a first type index and a second type index set, a second type index set comprises one second type index or multiple second type indices. The above method helps reduce overhead for scheduling signaling.

Embodiments are provided herein for improving carrier aggregation for wireless networks. A plurality of bandwidth channels are assigned to a basic service set (BSS) for transmissions. Specifically, the bandwidth channels are divided into multiple channel segments corresponding to multiple primary or alternate primary channels. A channel segment possibly further includes one or more additional secondary channels. The locations of the primary or alternate primary channels that correspond to the channel segments of the BSS are then broadcasted in the network. When a station or AP receives this BSS information, it searches for an available primary or alternate primary channel of the BSS to begin transmission. Upon detecting an available primary channel or alternate primary channel that is not used for another transmission, the station or AP transmits data on the channel segment corresponding to the detected primary or alternate primary channel.

Proposed are a method and a device for transmitting a signal including a data field in a wireless LAN. For example, an access point (AP) allocates, to a second station, a second frequency band adjacent to a first frequency band, wherein the second frequency band can include a plurality of resource units. In addition, a signal including the data field can be transmitted to the second station through the allocated second frequency band. Furthermore, when the first frequency band is allocated to the first station, the AP can allocate, to the second station, as a null resource unit, a resource unit adjacent to the first frequency band among the plurality of resource units.

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 LTF designs that support distributed transmissions. In some aspects, a transmitting device may obtain a sequence of values representing an LTF of a PPDU and may map the sequence of values to a number (N) of noncontiguous subcarrier indices of a plurality of subcarrier indices spanning a wireless channel according to a distributed tone plan. In some implementations, the transmitting device may modulate the sequence of values on N tones, representing a logical RU, and map the N tones to the N noncontiguous subcarrier indices, respectively. In some other implementations, the sequence of values may be obtained based on relative locations of the N noncontiguous subcarrier indices in the wireless channel.

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.

The present invention relates to a wireless communication method and a wireless communication terminal using a non-contiguous channel. To this end, provided are a wireless communication terminal including a processor and a transceiver, wherein the processor receives a wireless packet through the communication unit, obtains total bandwidth information indicated via a bandwidth field of HE-SIG-A of the received packet, obtains information of an unassigned resource unit via at least one of the bandwidth field of the HE-SIG-A and a subfield of HE-SIG-B of the received packet, and decodes the received packet based on the total bandwidth information and the information of the unassigned resource unit and a wireless communication method using the same.

A method of wireless communication may include monitoring, by a first device, a medium for frames in response to preparing to transmit a first frame to a second device. The method may also include while monitoring the medium and before transmitting the first frame, obtaining a second frame transmitted by a third device in the medium and adjusting a transmission of the first frame to the second device in the medium based on obtaining the second frame.

Proposed are a method and apparatus for receiving a PPDU in a wireless LAN system. Specifically, a reception STA receives a PPDU from a transmission STA via a broadband and decodes the PPDU. The PPDU includes a control field and a data field. When the broadband is a band of 320/160+160 MHz including a primary channel of 160 MHz and a secondary channel of 160 MHz, the data field is received via a first multiple RU in which a 996-RU and a 484-RU are aggregated. The first multiple RU is allocated within the primary channel of 160 MHz or the secondary channel of 160 MHz.

Various schemes pertaining to optimization of distributed resource unit (RU) tone plans for peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction in 6 GHz low-power indoor (LPI) systems are described. An apparatus distributes a plurality of subcarriers of a RU over a bandwidth to generate a distributed-tone RU (dRU) or a distributed-tone multi-RU (dMRU). The apparatus then communicates with a communication entity using the dRU or the dMRU. In distributing the plurality of subcarriers of the RU to generate the dRU or the dMRU, the apparatus distributes the plurality of subcarriers of the RU with a predefined span over each 20 MHz frequency segment or subblock in the bandwidth and with a gap of at least a minimum size around a center direct-current (DC) tone in a distribution pattern of the plurality of subcarriers to result in reduction in a PAPR in communicating with the communication entity.
