  • Patent number: 10778493
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In one example, phase-noise compensation tracking signals (PTRS) may be transmitted using sets of resource blocks (RBs), where a frequency for each PTRS within the sets RBs is different from a frequency corresponding to a direct current (DC) tone. In another example, a time-domain-based PTRS may be used, where a discrete Fourier transform (DFT)-spread-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM) symbol may include a cyclic prefix and a PTRS inserted in the DFT-s-OFDM symbol. Additionally or alternatively, a guard-interval-based DFT-s-OFDM symbol may include a PTRS that replaces part or all of a guard interval. In some examples, subsets of tones used for PTRS across a system bandwidth may be transmitted using a scrambled modulation symbol, where at least one antenna port may be used for the transmission of PTRS.

  • Patent number: 10693581
    Abstract: An Orthogonal Time Frequency Space Modulation (OTFS) modulation scheme that maps data symbols, along with optional pilot symbols, using a symplectic-like transformation such as a 2D Fourier transform and optional scrambling operation, into a complex wave aggregate and be backward compatible with legacy OFDM systems, is described. This wave aggregate may be processed for transmission by selecting portions of the aggregate according to various time and frequency intervals. The output from this process can be used to modulate transmitted waveforms according to various time intervals over a plurality of narrow-band subcarriers, often by using mutually orthogonal subcarrier “tones” or carrier frequencies. The entire wave aggregate may be transmitted over various time intervals. At the receiver, an inverse of this process can be used to both characterize the data channel and to correct the received signals for channel distortions, thus receiving a clear form of the original data symbols.

  • Patent number: 10667282
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide a mechanism for utilizing uplink hopping patterns for HARQ transmissions. Each hopping pattern may include a sequence of different frequency resources or a sequence of different scrambling sequences for a user equipment (UE) to utilize over time for HARQ transmissions. Each of the hopping patterns may further be associated with a time index mode in which the hopping pattern is applied to time resources such that each time resource within a consecutive sequence of time resources is mapped to a different frequency resource or scrambling sequence. The base station may select a hopping pattern for a particular UE and transmit an indication of the selected hopping pattern to the UE.

  • Patent number: 10644743
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed for obtaining a correlation function between a Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) signal and a spreading code. A plurality of code replica samples are stored in memory at a relatively low sampling rate compared to the sampling rate at which the input DSSS signal is sampled. A correlation operator is obtained by reproducing the stored code replica samples, in order to obtain a correlation operator with the same number of samples as the block of DSSS signal samples currently being processed. For example, when the sampling rate of the DSSS signal is equal to an integer N multiple of the sampling rate used for the code replica samples, the stored replica samples are reproduced N times to obtain the correlation operator. The correlation operator is then multiplied by the block of DSSS signal samples and integrated to obtain a correlation function.
