Abstract:
A method and device for code block grouping. It is determined that one or more code blocks of a transport block is/are mapped to one or more code block groups according to a service and/or an associated channel; therefore, resource efficiency may be improved, latency may be reduced and robustness may be increased for all kinds of services.
Abstract:
According to the present disclosure, different TBS tables especially different TBS table sets are used for URLLC traffic and non-URLLC traffic. ATBS table for URLLC is selected by a network node, upon determination of traffic type as URLLC, and informed to a UE. The informing can be a TBS table index or a scaling factor. After receiving the information of TBS table selection, the UE identifies the selected TBS table from its TBS table set for URLLC, or generates a new TBS table based on the scaling factor and a corresponding TBS table.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods and devices for uplink puncturing. In example embodiments, the terminal device obtains a first signal to be transmitted for a first service requiring a first latency. Then, the terminal device determines whether a resource block has been a shared one for the first service requiring a first latency or allocated by a network device for a second service requiring a second latency higher than the first latency. If it is determined that the resource block has been allocated for the second service, the terminal device selects a first set of resource elements based on a predefined pattern of resource elements. The first set of resource elements are discontinuously distributed in the allocated resource block. The terminal device transmits the first signal for the first service to the network device at the first set of resource elements. In this way, the low latency requirement of the first service may be met while impairing of the second service due to the missing of the REs preempted by the first service may be reduced.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatuses, and computer products for base station antenna calibration. A method is implemented in a base station (402-1) for a cellular communications system (400). The method includes selecting (500), from a plurality of User Equipments, UEs, (412), assistant UEs (412-1) to assist the base station (402-1) with antenna calibration, wherein selecting (400) the assistant UEs (412-1) is based upon criteria that includes UE channel state information, CSI, from the UEs (412); one or more uplink channel characteristics of an uplink channel from the UEs (412) to the base station (402); a UE capability of the UEs (412), UE traffic information related to the UEs (412); and any combination thereof. A further step is obtaining (514) antenna calibration assistance information from the assistant UEs (412-1), the antenna calibration assistance information being information that is used by the base station (402-1) for antenna calibration.
Abstract:
A method, network node and wireless device (WD) for phase error compensation for Fifth Generation (5G) downlink systems with four correlated uncalibrated antennas are provided. A method includes applying N incremented phase rotations to one of the four antennas to produce N channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resources, N being an integer greater than 1. The method also includes transmitting N CSI-RS on 4 CSI-RS ports to a wireless device, WD, each of the N CSI-RS resources being transmitted with a different one of the incremented phase rotations. The method further includes receiving from the WD a CSI-RS resource indication (CRI) that indicates a particular one of the N CSI-RS resources. The method also includes applying, in subsequent transmissions to the WD, a phase rotation to the one of the four antennas, the phase rotation corresponding to the indicated CSI-RS resource.

Embodiments of methods for providing a new Channel State Information (CSI) reference resource definition for CSI reports in New Radio (NR) are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method performed by a wireless device for Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) index reporting in a wireless communication system comprises deriving a CQI index to be reported to a network node, where the CQI index is derived assuming a hypothetical transmission on a CSI reference resource, wherein a wireless device-specific reference signal overhead in the CSI reference resource is consistent with one or more parameters, and reporting the CQI index to the network node. In another embodiment, a method performed by a radio access node reporting in a wireless communication system comprises receiving a CQI index from a wireless device for a CSI reference resource, wherein a wireless device-specific reference signal overhead in the CSI reference resource is consistent with one or more parameters.

A wireless communication device and method therein for time synchronization in a wireless communication network are disclosed. The wireless communication device determines a first timing (tc) by performing a coarse time synchronization based on a synchronization signal received by the wireless communication device, wherein the received synchronization signal is sampled either in an original sampling rate or a reduced sampling rate. The wireless communication device determines a second timing (tf) by performing a fine time synchronization based on the determined first timing (tc) and the received synchronization signal.

A Physical Uplink Control CHannel (PUCCH) precoding method is provided. According to the method, different precoding vectors can be applied to different Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, and all the subcarriers in the same OFDM symbol can use the same precoding to achieve spatial diversity gain. By means of the method, full spatial diversity gain can be achieved without any cubic metric increase.
