Abstract

This patent document discloses techniques that can be implemented in various embodiments to prevent the data transmission rate from decreasing due to the CP and GI while solving the multipath delay problem and maintaining low PAPR and channel estimation accuracy. In some embodiments of the disclosed technology, a wireless communication method can be implemented to generate a transmit waveform that is organized in transmission subframes, wherein a given transmission subframe includes one or more data block each including a data portion and a reference portion, wherein the reference portion includes a part of a reference signal that is included in at least one of the transmission subframes.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A wireless communication method, comprising:
generating a transmit waveform that is organized in transmission subframes, wherein a given transmission subframe includes a reference signal and a plurality of data blocks, each data block including a data portion and a reference portion arranged behind the data portion, wherein the reference portion includes a part of a reference signal that is included in at least one of the transmission subframes,
wherein, according to an indication information in a control information format transmitted by a downlink or uplink control channel, a length of the reference portion in data blocks included in a subsequent transmission subframe that is subsequent to the transmission subframe is adjusted beginning from a first data block of the subsequent transmission subframe.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reference portion is lengthened upon a determination that an amount of a multipath delay has increased or is shortened upon a determination that the amount of the multipath delay has decreased.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a combined length of a data portion and a reference portion after an adjustment is identical to a combined length of the data portion and the reference portion before the adjustment.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a length of the reference portion remains unchanged until a subsequent reference signal is arranged or until a subsequent subframe starts.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reference signal is mapped and transmitted on a time domain resource, and the reference portion is a tail part of the reference signal.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reference signal is prefixed to the transmit waveform.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reference portion is arranged behind the data portion.

8. A wireless communication method, comprising:
generating a transmit waveform that is organized in transmission subframes, wherein a given transmission subframe includes a data portion, a first reference portion, and a second reference portion, wherein each of the first and second reference portions includes a part of a reference signal that is included in at least one of the transmission subframes, wherein the first reference portion is arranged in front of the data portion and the second reference portion is arranged behind the data portion,
wherein, according to an indication information in a control information format transmitted by a downlink or uplink control channel, a length of the reference portion in data blocks included in a subsequent transmission subframe that is subsequent to the transmission subframe is adjusted beginning from a first data block of the subsequent transmission subframe.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein a length of the first reference portion remains unchanged even upon a determination that a wireless channel environment has changed.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein a combined length of a data portion, a first reference portion, and a second reference portion after an adjustment is identical to a combined length of the data portion, the first reference portion, and the second reference portion before the adjustment.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first and second reference signals are mapped and transmitted on a time domain resource, and wherein the first reference portion is a head part of the reference signal and the second reference portion is a tail part of the reference signal.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the second reference portion is lengthened upon a determination that an amount of a multipath delay has increased or is shortened upon a determination that the amount of the multipath delay has decreased.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein a length of the second reference portion remains unchanged until a subsequent reference signal is arranged or until a subsequent subframe starts.

14. A wireless communication method, comprising:
receiving a transmit waveform that is organized in transmission subframes, wherein a given transmission subframe includes a data portion and a reference portion, wherein the reference portion includes a copy of a part of a reference signal that is included in at least one of the transmission subframes; and
determining wireless communication information with respect to a subframe based on the reference portion in the subframe,
wherein, according to an indication information in a control information format transmitted by a downlink or uplink control channel, a length of the reference portion in data blocks included in a subsequent transmission subframe that is subsequent to the transmission subframe is adjusted beginning from a first data block of the subsequent transmission subframe.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the reference portion is arranged behind the data portion.
