Abstract: There is disclosed a method of operating a transmitting node in a millimeter-wave communication network. The method includes transmitting millimeter-wave signaling in a transmission timing structure. The transmission timing structure includes N time interval elements sequentially ordered in time. The millimeter-wave signaling includes N separate signaling structures, each signaling structure being transmitted in a different one of the time interval elements; N being an integer multiple of 2. A first subset of the N separate signaling structures corresponds to control signaling, wherein the subset includes 2{circumflex over (?)}m signaling structures consecutive in time beginning with the signaling structure of the first time interval element; m being an integer such that 2{circumflex over (?)}m<=N. A second subset of the N separate signaling structures corresponds to data signaling. The second subset comprises 0 or an integer number of signaling structures.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of operating a transmitting node in a millimeter-wave communication network. The method includes transmitting communication signaling in a transmission timing structure, the communication signaling including leading reference signaling in a leading time interval at the beginning of the transmission timing structure and including trailing reference signaling in a trailing time interval at the end of the timing structure. The leading reference signaling starts with a first reference signaling time-domain sequence, and the trailing reference signaling ending with the first reference time-domain signaling sequence. The disclosure also pertains to related devices and methods.

Abstract: There is disclosed a radio relay arrangement for a radio communication network, the radio relay arrangement including: a first relay arrangement with a first transmitter antenna array adapted for transmitting first signaling and a first receiver antenna array adapted for receiving second signaling. The radio relay arrangement further includes a second relay arrangement with a second transmitter antenna array adapted for transmitting third signaling and a second receiver antenna array adapted for receiving fourth signaling. The first transmitter antenna array and the first receiver antenna array are separated by a metallic separator, and the second transmitter antenna array and the second receiver antenna array are separated by a metallic separator. The first signaling is based on received second signaling, and the third signaling is based on received fourth signaling.
