  • Patent number: 11368263
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A network may generate a pool of distinct base sequences for use with uplink messages from a user equipment (UE) to a base station, where each base sequence in the pool of distinct base sequences may have a peak to average power ratio below a threshold. A base station may assign the pool of distinct base sequences into groups of base sequences based on a group size and a hopping pattern reuse factor. The base station may assign the groups of base sequences to cells and signal the group size and a hopping pattern index to UEs in the cells. A UE in a cell may identify the group of base sequences assigned to the cell based on the signaled parameters and select a base sequence for use in transmitting an uplink message to the base station.

  • Patent number: 11356209
    Abstract: A communication method and a communications device are disclosed. A first device in a communications system separately sends, to a second device, responses used to indicate a transmission result of target data: a first response and a second response. An indication manner of the first response is different from an indication manner of the second response. This approach can improve flexibility of a response indication manner. Therefore, the communications system can flexibly adjust indication manners of responses sent at different times to ensure indication precision of the responses while reducing transmission resources of the responses.
