Patent number: 11050532Abstract: A bit-level operation may be implemented prior to modulation and resource element (RE) mapping in order to generate a NoMA transmission using standard (QAM, QPSK, BPSK, etc.) modulators. In this way, the bit-level operation is exploited to achieve the benefits of NoMA (e.g., improved spectral efficiency, reduced overhead, etc.) at significantly less signal processing and hardware implementation complexity. The bit-level operation is specifically designed to produce an output bit-stream that is longer than the input bit-stream, and that includes output bit-values that are computed as a function of the input bit-values such that when the output bit-stream is subjected to modulation (e.g., m-ary QAM, QPSK, BPSK), the resulting symbols emulate a spreading operation that would otherwise have been generated from the input bit-stream, either by a NoMA-specific modulator or by a symbol-domain spreading operation.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2019Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Ming Jia, Jianglei Ma, Alireza Bayesteh, Sanjeewa Herath

Publication number: 20210194734Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide control signaling mechanisms to support data transmission by a user equipment (UE) that is in the RRC_INACTIVE state and, more generally, in any inactive state. Beyond simply supporting data transmission by a user equipment that is in the RRC_INACTIVE state, aspects of the present application provide mechanisms for configuring the UE for preamble transmission or sounding reference signal (SRS) transmission and for toggling between such transmissions. Aspects of the present application relate to mechanisms for enabling Timing Advance estimation, which mechanisms are not burdened with high overhead and which allow the UE to remain in the RRC_INACTIVE state.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2019Publication date: June 24, 2021Applicant: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: SANJEEWA HERATH, JAVAD ABDOLI, JIANGLEI MA

Publication number: 20210127450Abstract: Some aspects of the present disclosure introduce a new downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP) and a new uplink (UL) BWP for communication in the RRC_INACTIVE state. In addition, aspects of the disclosure also provide for configuring generic parameters of the BWP, which include, but not limited to, frequency location, bandwidth, subcarrier spacing (SCS), and cyclic prefix (CP). Some aspects of the present disclosure may support a reinterpretation of generic parameters of a BWP, for example which may be configured for the RRC_CONNECTED state, to be used in the RRC_INACTIVE state. Some aspects of the present disclosure are directed to implicit DL BWP switching in the RRC_INACTIVE state where no BWP identifier (ID) indication is needed as part of the switching mechanism.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2019Publication date: April 29, 2021Applicant: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: JAVAD ABDOLI, SANJEEWA HERATH

Publication number: 20210127414Abstract: Control signaling mechanisms are provided to support data transmissions to or from a user equipment (UE) in an inactive state. In some embodiments, a UE in an inactive state receives DCI including: a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled by a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) that is specific to a group of UEs, the group of UEs including the UE; and a resource assignment for a data transmission to the UE. The data transmission is then received on a physical shared channel. In further embodiments, a UE in an inactive state receives DCI including: a CRC scrambled by a paging RNTI; and a resource assignment for a paging message to the UE. A data transmission is received by the UE in the paging message or in a further transmission that is scheduled by the paging message.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2019Publication date: April 29, 2021Applicant: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: JAVAD ABDOLI, SANJEEWA HERATH

Publication number: 20210067392Abstract: Aspects of the present application use a linear transformation of a sparse mapped single carrier transmission at a transmitter, for which a comparable inverse transform of the linear transform applied at the transmitter can be applied at the receiver. The linear transform reduces the sparsity of sparse mapped symbols. The use of the linear transform to reduce the sparsity enables peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) and/or cubic metric to be reduced as compared to if the linear transform is not used. The linear transforms may be implemented in a block-wise manner, element-wise manner or combination thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2019Publication date: March 4, 2021Applicant: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: JAVAD ABDOLI, SANJEEWA HERATH, ALIREZA BAYESTEH

Patent number: 10735143Abstract: Methods of transmitting and receiving a set of bits are provided. In the transmitting method, some of the bits are mapped to modulated symbol, and some of the bits map to a subset of transmission resources out of a first set of transmission resources. The modulated symbol is transmitted using the subset of transmission resources. At the receiver, a modulated symbol is received using a subset of transmission resources. Some bits are recovered by demodulating the demodulated symbol, and some of the bits are recovered based on the subset of transmission resources over which the modulated symbol was received.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2018Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Ming Jia, Jianglei Ma, Sanjeewa Herath, Alireza Bayesteh

Publication number: 20200186189Abstract: According to aspects of the disclosure, there is provided a method for a UE to select or be assigned or configured with a spreading sequence that is based on one or more communication parameters such as receiver type, receiver capability, SE, TBS, MCS, traffic load, PAPR requirement, MCL, number of layers, overloading, reliability requirement, transmission power consumption, number of active UEs, and transmission latency constraint, etc. In some embodiments, the spreading sequence may be related to a performance metric associated with an above parameter (PAPR, BLER, etc.). In some embodiments, this is achieved by associating spreading sequences with parameters or performance metrics, or both. In some instances the spreading sequences may be arranged or ordered in a manner to reduce signaling overhead (e.g., signaling an index is more efficient than signaling a value of a metric, and ordering correlates the index to the value).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2019Publication date: June 11, 2020Applicant: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: SANJEEWA HERATH, ALIREZA BAYESTEH
