Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). A method of operating a receiving terminal in a wireless communication system may include: transmitting, to a transmitting terminal, information on capabilities of the receiving terminal in relation to an independent component analysis (ICA) technique; receiving, from the transmitting terminal, a signal generated based on the capabilities; and decoding the signal using the ICA technique in consideration of the amount of change in the channel for the signal.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method performed by a first electronic device in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting, to a second electronic device, information on capabilities of the first electronic device in relation to an independent component analysis (ICA) technique;
receiving, from the second electronic device, a signal generated based on the information on the capabilities; and
determining a size of an ICA block based on an amount of change in a channel for the signal;
determining a reference signal (RS) pattern according to the size of the ICA block; and
decoding the signal using the ICA technique in consideration of the determined RS pattern.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information on the capabilities of the first electronic device comprises at least one part of information explicitly indicating whether or not the first electronic device can support the ICA technique, information indicating whether or not the first electronic device supports other capabilities for supporting the ICA technique, or information indicating whether or not the first electronic device supports at least one capability related to the ICA technique.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the RS further comprises:
determining a distance between RSs for a time domain based on the amount of change in the channel for the time domain;
determining a distance between the RSs for a frequency domain in the ICA block based on the amount of change in the channel for the frequency domain; and
determining disposition of the RSs based on the distance between the RSs for the time domain and the distance between the RSs for the frequency domain.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting, to the second electronic device, at least one part of first information indicating the amount of change in the channel, second information indicating whether or not a partial area of the ICA block can be determined as a decoding area, third information indicating the size of the ICA block, or fourth information indicating disposition of RSs.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
compensating for the signal based on the amount of change in the channel.

6. A method performed by a second electronic device in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a first electronic device, information on capabilities of the first electronic device in relation to an independent component analysis (ICA) technique; and
transmitting, to the first electronic device, a signal generated based on the information on the capabilities in relation to the ICA technique,
wherein a size of an ICA block is determined based on an amount of change in a channel for the signal,
wherein a reference signal (RS) pattern is determined based on the size of the ICA block, and
wherein the signal is decoded using the ICA technique in consideration of the determined RS pattern.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the information on the capabilities of the first electronic device comprises at least one part of information explicitly indicating whether or not the first electronic device can support the ICA technique, information indicating whether or not the first electronic device supports other capabilities for supporting the ICA technique, or information indicating whether or not the first electronic device supports at least one capability related to the ICA technique.

8. A first electronic device in a wireless communication system, comprising:
a transceiver; and
a processor operatively connected to the transceiver and configured to:
control the transceiver to transmit, to a second electronic device, information on capabilities of the first electronic device in relation to an independent component analysis (ICA) technique,
control the transceiver to receive, from the second electronic device, a signal generated based on the capabilities in relation to the ICA technique,
determine a size of an ICA block based on an amount of change in a channel for the signal,
determine a reference signal (RS) pattern according to the size of the ICA block,
decode the signal using the ICA technique in consideration of the determined RS pattern.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the information on the capabilities related to the ICA technique comprises at least one part of information explicitly indicating whether or not the first electronic device can support the ICA technique, information indicating whether or not the first electronic device supports other capabilities for supporting the ICA technique, or information indicating whether or not the first electronic device supports at least one capability related to the ICA technique.

10. The device of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
determine a distance between RSs for a time domain based on the amount of change in the channel for the time domain;
determine a distance between the RSs for a frequency domain in the ICA block based on the amount of change in the channel for the frequency domain; and
determine disposition of the RSs, based on the distance between the RSs for the time domain and the distance between the RSs for the frequency domain.

11. The device of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the transceiver to transmit, to the second electronic device, at least one part of first information indicating the amount of change in the channel, second information indicating whether or not a partial area of the ICA block can be determined as a decoding area, third information indicating the size of the ICA block, or fourth information indicating disposition of RSs.

12. The device of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to compensate for the signal based on the amount of change in the channel.
