  • Patent number: 11575551
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems (e.g., non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems), a base station may serve a large number of user equipments (UEs) on the uplink. To improve detectability for these uplink transmissions (e.g., if reference signals are not available for the transmissions), the UEs may implement parallel transmissions of preambles with uplink data. A UE may split the uplink data into one or more data layers, and may select one or more preamble layers to transmit superposed with the data layers. These preambles may be sequences known to both the UE and the base station to aid in detectability. The UE may assign different signature sequences to each of these layers based on cross-correlation values (e.g., assigning sequences with higher cross-correlation values to the data layers for improved detectability), and may scramble the layers into a single shared signal for transmission.

  • Patent number: 11546890
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Devices in a wireless communications system may support different configurations to support intra-symbol multiplexing for communications between the devices using a single carrier waveform. For example, the different configurations may include symbol level cyclic prefixes, device-specific or channel-specific cyclic prefixes, device-specific or channel-specific guard intervals, or a combination thereof to support the intra-symbol multiplexing. That is, the cyclic prefixes or guard intervals may separate different fractions of a symbol, such that individual signals communicated in each of the different fractions do not leak into a subsequent fraction to cause interference. In some implementations, the cyclic prefixes or guard intervals may be enabled for a subset of devices or channels.
