  • Patent number: 12155593
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for demodulation reference signal (DMRS) precoding in high-Doppler scenarios. In some aspects, communicating devices may support different precodings for different portions of a signal, such as for a DMRS portion and an information portion. For example, a device may receive a signal including an orthogonal time-frequency space (OTFS) precoded first waveform portion carrying DMRS symbols and an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) precoded second waveform portion carrying information symbols. The device may transform the OTFS precoded DMRS symbols from a time-frequency domain to a delay-Doppler domain, may use the DMRS symbols to estimate a delay-Doppler channel, and may use the delay-Doppler channel estimate to measure an inter-carrier interference (ICI).

  • Patent number: 12133252
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a resource conflict handling method and apparatus, a terminal, and a storage medium. The method includes: transmitting, when a first PUSCH and a second PUSCH overlap or conflict with respect to time domain resources, if there is a fourth PUSCH in a third PUSCH included in the first PUSCH that does not overlap or conflict with the second PUSCH with respect to time domain resources, a data block over the fourth PUSCH. The first PUSCH is configured for repeated transmissions of the data block. In this way, the problem of conflict handling in the conflict scenario where the third PUSCH is present can be clarified. Here, available resources can be used as much as possible, and the resource utilization can be guaranteed, such that traffic can be transmitted to a network device as quickly as possible to avoid the delay caused by the resource conflict.
