    摘要: Embodiments are provided for guard band utilization for synchronous and asynchronous communications in wireless networks. A user equipment (UE) or a network component transmits symbols on data bands assigned for primary communications. The data bands are separated by a guard band having smaller bandwidth than the data bands. The UE or network component further modulates symbols for secondary communications with a spectrally contained wave form, which has a smaller bandwidth than the guard band. The spectrally contained wave form is achieved with orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation or with joint OFDM and Offset Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (OQAM) modulation. The modulated symbols for the secondary communications are transmitted within the guard band.

    摘要: Cyclic prefix based OFDM (CP-OFDM) signals can be filtered using a digital filter whose filter length exceeds the length of a cyclic prefix in CP-OFDM symbols of the signal. In one example, the duration of the filtered CP-OFDM symbol may be expressed by the following equation: M=N+L−1, where M is the duration of the filtered CP-OFDM signal, N is a duration of the CP-OFDM signal, and L is the filter length of the digital filter. Digitally filtering the CP-OFDM signal may include convolving a filtering signal with the CP-OFDM signal. The digital filter may include a finite impulse response (FIR) filter or an infinite impulse response (IIR) filter. In some embodiments, a different digital filter may be applied to each sub-band of the CP-OFDM signal.

    摘要: The middle subcarrier of the baseband OFDM signal of each numerology may need to be shifted appropriately with respect to other numerologies to comply with a nested grid. These shifts can be signalled to the UE with an associated overhead. Methods and systems are provided to reduce overhead for OFDM communication. Reduced overhead can translate into increased bandwidth for the system, and/or reduced power/battery consumption in the UE. A transmitter generates an OFDM signal associated with a first subcarrier spacing of a first numerology (μ), a middle subcarrier frequency of a set of usable resource blocks (RBs) of the first numerology being offset from a carrier frequency by a first offset having a value (k0,xμ) in units of subcarriers, the value of the first offset being defined by a specific formula. The transmitter transmits the OFDM signal according to the first subcarrier spacing and the first offset.

    摘要: A method for a multicast service is provided. In this example, the method includes receiving, by a user equipment (UE), a control format including a resource allocation field from a base station (BS), the resource allocation field indicating a starting resource block (RB) index and an RB range, obtaining a set of RBs allocated for a multicast physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) or physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) based on a starting RB location and the RB range; wherein the starting RB location is associated with the starting RB index and at least one of a reference RB location or an assigned sub-band; and transmitting or receiving, by the UE, data over at least one RB of the set of RBs allocated for the multicast PDSCH or PUSCH.

    摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods, devices and systems that limit a number of DCI payload sizes in order to limit the complexity of processing needed to perform blind decoding of the DCI payload. Various embodiments are provided that limit the number of DCI payload sizes. A base station determines the payload sizes to be used for a given time slot and once generated, transmits the DCI to one or more UEs. The UE is responsible for receiving the DCI and performing blind decoding to decode the information intended for the UE. In some embodiments, limiting the number of payload sizes may result in some DCI content that is smaller than the allotted DCI payload size being padded with zero bits to fill the allotted DCI payload size.
