  • Patent number: 10833822
    Abstract: In a wireless communication system, user equipments (UEs) may be partitioned into different groups, e.g. based on spatial separation. UEs may use multiple access (MA) signatures that have low or no correlation to each other if the UEs are in the same group. The MA signatures used by one group of UEs may be more correlated with the MA signatures used by another group of UEs. If the UEs are partitioned into the different groups based on spatial separation, then the spatial separation between the different groups may assist in increasing the reliability of detection if two UEs in different groups use correlated MA signatures.

  • Patent number: 10833823
    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards adapting the demodulation reference signal sent in a wireless resource data block based on channel estimation performance. In general, if the demodulation reference signal received was not successfully able to be used to demodulate the resource data block, the demodulation reference signal density can be increased up to a maximum density, which costs resource elements but improves the channel estimation accuracy. If the demodulation reference signal received was able to be used to demodulate the resource data block, the demodulation reference signal density can be decreased down to minimum density, which saves resource elements for data. The network device can use HARQ ACK/NACK data (e.g., a current count or counted over a time period) to determine channel estimation performance, and/or the user equipment can recommend a demodulation reference signal density change.
