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 for operating 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 decoding the signal using the ICA technique in consideration of an amount of change in a channel for the signal.

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 , further comprising:
determining a size of an ICA block based on the amount of change in the channel; and determining disposition of reference signals (RS) according to the size of the ICA block.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the size of the ICA block is determined based on the amount of change in the channel for a time domain and the amount of change in the channel for a frequency domain.

5 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the determining of the disposition of the RSs further comprises:
determining a distance between the 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.

6 . The method of claim 3 , 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 the RSs.

7 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising:
determining a partial area of the ICA block as a decoding area based on the size of the ICA block and the amount of change in the channel; and determining a movement unit of the ICA block according to a size of the partial area of the ICA block.

8 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising compensating for the signal based on the amount of change in the channel.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the compensating for the signal comprises:
determining a resource area for performing compensation for the signal based on the amount of change in the channel; identifying a symbol set of another signal transmitted by the second electronic device; and compensating for the signal based on the symbol set and the amount of change in the channel in the resource area.

10 . A method for operating 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 the signal is decoded by the first electronic device using the ICA technique in consideration of an amount of change in a channel.

11 . 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; and decode the signal using the ICA technique in consideration of an amount of change in a channel for the signal.

12 .
