Abstract: A user equipment (UE) can include processing circuitry coupled to memory. To configure the UE for New Radio (NR) communications above a 52.6 GHz carrier frequency, the processing circuitry is to decode radio resource control (RRC) signaling to obtain a cyclic shift value in time domain. The cyclic shift value is associated with a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) antenna port (AP) of a plurality of available DM-RS APs. A single carrier based waveform DM-RS sequence corresponding to the DM-RS AP is generated using a base sequence and the cyclic shift value. The single carrier based waveform DM-RS sequence is encoded with uplink data for transmission to a base station using a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) using a carrier above the 52.6 GHz carrier frequency.

Abstract: An apparatus for generating a radio frequency signal based on a symbol within a constellation diagram is provided. The constellation diagram is spanned by a first axis representing an in-phase component and an orthogonal second axis representing a quadrature component. The apparatus includes a processing unit configured to select one of a plurality of segments of the constellation diagram containing the symbol. The segment is delimited by two radially extending boundaries, wherein the two radially extending boundaries span an opening angle of the segment that is different from 90°. The processing unit is further configured to calculate a first coordinate of the symbol with respect to a third axis, and a second coordinate of the symbol with respect to a fourth axis. At least one of the third axis and the fourth axis coincides with one of the two radially extending boundaries.

Abstract: An apparatus for generating a transmit signal includes an up-conversion module and a delay module. The up-conversion module up-converts a first component signal of a multi-phase baseband transmit signal using a first oscillator signal and up-converts a delayed second component signal of the multi-phase baseband transmit signal using a second oscillator signal to generate a radio frequency transmit signal. The first oscillator signal and the second oscillator signal comprise an oscillator signal phase offset so that an edge of the second oscillator signal occurs earlier than a corresponding edge of the first oscillator signal. The delay module delays a second component signal of the multi-phase baseband transmit signal relative to the first component signal of the multi-phase baseband transmit signal by a predefined component signal delay to generate the delayed second component signal of the multi-phase baseband transmit signal.
