    Abstract: Embodiments are provided for pre-cancelling signal interference in Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing (GFDM). Signal interference is pre-cancelled, at a transmitter, so that clean pilots are observed at a receiver and hence used for channel estimation. Using a Pilot-Interference Cancellation (Pilot-IC) method, interference is pre-cancelled at only pilot symbols. Alternatively, interference is simultaneously pre-cancelled at all symbols using a Transmitter IC (Tx-IC) method. The embodiments also include scattering the pilots over frequency and time resources to estimate channels which are frequency selective and time-variant. The channel estimates at the receiver are then used for single-tap channel equalization at time-frequency grid data points, where no assumption of time-invariant channels is required.

    Abstract: System and method embodiments are provided for enabling flexible and reliable UE-to-UE based relay. The embodiments include using fountain codes for combining signals at a suitable network layer higher than a media access control (MAC) sub-layer and using a MAC sub-layer hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) transmission scheme. When a relay UE in a UE group for joint reception receives, from a network access point, a data packet intended for a destination UE in the UE group and including fountain code at the higher network layer, the relay UE sends the data packet to the destination UE and returns a HARQ ACK message at the MAC sub-layer to the access point. The destination UE then receives and decodes the data packet. Subsequently, upon receiving the entire data, the destination UE sends an ACK message at the higher network layer to the access point.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for a frame structure for machine-type communications (MTC) with adjustable pulse bandwidth are described. In an embodiment, the frame structure is an uplink frame structure that illustrates a representation of a plurality of coverage levels. The coverage levels are associated with a coverage range of a base station. Each coverage level is associated with corresponding sub-frames, and each sub-frame within a coverage level has the same sub-frame length and bandwidth.

    Abstract: Different numerologies may be used to communicate orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based signals over different frequency sub-bands of a given carrier. This may allow the OFDM-based signals to efficiently support diverse traffic types. In some embodiments, the numerology of OFDM-based signal depends on a bandwidth of the frequency sub-band over which the OFDM-based signals are transmitted. In some embodiments, the OFDM-based signals are filtered OFDM (f-OFDM) signals, and the pulse shaping digital filter used to generate the f-OFDM signals allows the receiver to mitigate interference between adjacent f-OFDM signals upon reception, thereby allowing f-OFDM signals to be communicated over consecutive carriers without relying on a guard band.

    Abstract: Embodiments are provided for supporting variable sub-carrier spacing and symbol duration for transmitting OFDM or other waveform symbols and associated cyclic prefixes. The symbol duration includes the useful symbol length and its associated cyclic prefix length. The variable sub-carrier spacing and symbol duration is determined via parameters indicating the sub-carrier spacing, useful symbol length, and cyclic prefix length. An embodiment method, by a network or a network controller, includes establishing a plurality of multiple access block (MAB) types defining different combinations of sub-carrier spacing and symbol duration for waveform transmissions. The method further includes partitioning a frequency and time plane of a carrier spectrum band into a plurality of MAB regions comprising frequency-time slots for the waveform transmissions. The MAB types are then selected for the MAB regions, wherein one MAB type is assigned to one corresponding MAB region.
