  • Patent number: 11611967
    Abstract: This application provides example scrambling-based data transmission methods and apparatuses. A scrambling manner is determined based on a sending waveform. The scrambling manner can include frequency domain scrambling, time domain scrambling, or time-frequency domain scrambling. To-be-scrambled data can be scrambled based on the scrambling manner, to obtain scrambled output data. The scrambled output data can be sent. The sending waveform can be a discrete Fourier transform spreading orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM) waveform or a cyclic prefix orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CP-OFDM) waveform.

  • Patent number: 11606763
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications provide techniques for multiplexing, in a frequency domain, a synchronization signal block (SSB) and a control resource set (CORESET) to form a multiplexed block that is transmitted using a set of symbols. A base station may transmit multiple multiplexed blocks using multiple different beams with a switching gap provided between each multiplexed block that allows for switching of radio frequency (RF) components between different beams. The switching gap is longer than a duration of a cyclic prefix (CP) that is associated with each symbol of the set of symbols of each multiplexed block. Within one or more of the multiplexed blocks, an associated SSB may use a different waveform than the CORESET. The multiplexed blocks may use a common reference signal for both the SSB and CORESET.

  • Patent number: 11546913
    Abstract: A data transmitting method, a data receiving method, a terminal device, and a network device are provided. The method includes: determining, by a terminal device, a target resource based on a time index and/or configuration information; and transmitting, by the terminal device, data to a network device on the target resource. The terminal device can control resource granularity of the target resource to meet transmission requirements of the terminal device, and can further avoid an actual data transmission process from occurring only on a same frequency domain resource and can further improve the frequency diversity gain in the non-slot transmission. In addition, randomness of interference can be enhanced as much as possible to avoid a same user from always or frequently being in conflict, so when a DMRS of the terminal device conflicts with that of other terminals, performance of user identification can be effectively improved.
