Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to a method of selecting a cell for communication over a network, the method comprising: determining a round trip delay (RTD) measurement from a device to each of a plurality of base stations, each of the plurality of base stations being in a respective one of a plurality of cells; ranking the plurality of cells based at least in part on the RTD measurements; selecting the highest-ranked cell; and initiating attachment to the selected cell.

Abstract: A method of dynamically changing the list size of a successive cancellation list (SCL) decoder, the SCL decoder arranged to decode data received from a wireless communications system, the method comprising at each successive cancellation stage of the SCL decoder, determining a path metric of each path of the SCL decoder, selecting a differential path metric threshold, and dynamically changing the list size of the SCL decoder based on the differential path metric threshold and the path metric of each path of the cancellation stage, such that decoding sensitivity of the decoder is maintained and/or latency and error-correction performance of the decoder are balanced.

Abstract: A method of transmission for increasing communication channel capacity comprising superposing a first signal on a portion of a second signal to form a combined signal, wherein the first signal comprises a repetition coded signal, and transmitting the combined signal. Also disclosed is a method of receiving a combined signal for increasing communication channel capacity comprising performing threshold detection on the combined signal wherein the combined signal comprises a first signal comprising a repetition coded signal superposed on a portion of a second signal and the threshold detection enables derivation of the second signal and the first signal prior to repetition coding.
