In 5G NR, the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) and the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) are the physical uplink (UL) channel and downlink (DL) that carry user data. The Demodulation Reference Signal (DM-RS) is the reference signals associated with PUSCH. DM-RS is used for channel estimation as part of coherent demodulation of PUSCH and PDSCH. The time-frequency structure of reference signals depends on the type of waveform configured for PUSCH, as defined in TS 38.211 Sections 6.4.1.1 and 6.4.1.2. following the TS 38.300, DM-RS based spatial multiplexing is supported for PUSCH. Up to 8,12, 16, and 24 orthogonal UL DM-RS ports are supported for type 1, type 2, enhanced type 1, and enhanced type 2 DM-RS respectively. For a given User device (UE), up to 4 or up to 8 layer transmissions are supported. The DM-RS Uplink Configuration is sent in the Information Element (IE) DMRS-UplinkConfig and DMRS-DownlinkConfig of Radio Resource Control (RRC) configuration defined in TS 38.331, Clause 6.3.2. The DM-RS used in 5G for channel estimation, also called pilots, which are separated from the data transmission and are ideally orthogonalized among users. This type of approach is generically called in the literature as regular pilot (RP) approach, due to its orthogonality among users, it may arise pilot contamination issue, that arises when the number of users exceeds the number of pilot sequences and different users are being configured with the same pilot sequence, if to keep the orthogonality, more pilot sequences are needed to be inserted to meet the requirement of the increased users, it will lead to a degradation of spectral efficiency, as portions of the resources is allocated to pilot (known reference signal) transmission. One or more aspects of this document provide a solution to configure superimposed pilots (SIP) in a 6G UL transmission for deep UEs with the capability of learning / using irregular constellations and using said SIP in the gNB receiver for UL channel estimation and subsequent detection and decoding. One or more aspect of this document aims a solution to configure learning constellation and superimposed pilot, SIP configuration, transmission, and reception, higher spectral efficiency and capacity can be achieved by providing more orthogonal pilots and decreases the possibility of pilot reuse among different UEs. As for superimposed pilot, SIP transmission and / or reception, there are several terms need to be noted. Pilot symbol is the reference symbol which is generated based on the pilot constellation, modulation and the pilot sequence known both at the transmitted and the receiver. Data symbol is the symbols generated based on the data constellation and modulation (known to the transmitter and receiver) and the data sequence (known only at the transmitted). Superimposed (SI) symbol in which superimposition of pilot and data symbols transmitted in the same RE (i.e., pilot symbol is laid over / combined with data symbol with a power control on how to lay over them). Superimposed pilot (SIP) symbol is the pilot part of an SI symbol. Superimposed data (SID) symbol is the data part of an SI symbol. Superimposed pilot (SIP) transmission indicates the transmission for transmitting pilot and data over the same resource elements. Superimposed pilot (SIP) configuration is the configuration information for transmitting or receiving in SIP transmission. Fig. 4 shows an example of a flow diagram of a process, performed by a UE and a BS, for constellation(s) configuration, and / or SIP configuration, and their usage in data transmission and reception.

The power allocation may comprise an indication of a Power of SIP symbols relative to a power of SID symbols or an indication of the absolute power of the SIP symbols. The indication of power of the SIP symbols relative to the power of SID symbols may be defined for all SI symbols and data symbols. It may be defined only for or each of the plurality of REs in which SIP symbols are superimposed with data symbols. The power of the SIP symbols can be configured statically or dynamically via one or more Radio Resource Control, RRC messages, or one or more Medium Access Control Control elements, MAC CEs, or one or mor Downlink Control Information, DCI. The configuration of the first set of constellations and / or the SIP configuration may be transmitted by the BS to UE in a same message or in two separate messages. As for constellation configuration, there may be one or more messages are used for possible separate configuration. At step 706, the transmitter learns constellations with the received first set of constellations and / or the SIP configuration, the transmitter (e.g. UE) may download from the UE vendor server the previously learned constellations as learned constellations, the transmitter performs procedure described in fig 5 to get one or more learned constellations based on the first set of constellations and / or the SIP configuration. At step 708, the transmitter may transmit a second set of constellations (e.g. learned constellations) as learned constellations to the receiver. E.g. the UE may transmit a second set of constellations (e.g. learned constellations) to the BS. At step 710, the receiver receives the second set of constellations and selects a third set of constellations (e.g. a preferred learned constellations) based on the received second set of constellations. The third set of constellations can be selected based on the second set of constellations. For example, the BS as a receiver to receive the second set of constellations and selects the third set of constellations from the second set of constellations. At step 712, the receiver may transmit a configuration of the third set of constellations to the transmitter. For example, the BS transmits a configuration of the third set of constellations to the UE. In an embodiment, the UE may select the third set of constellations by itself. The configuration of the first set of constellations, and / or the configuration of the third set of constellations comprises one or more of: an index of the constellation; a list of indices of the constellations; a power allocation of SIP symbols; a number of layers; an indication of REs; an indication of code rate.

At step 714, the transmitter applies the configuration of the third set of constellations and / or the SIP configuration for the transmission of SIP symbols and data symbols, the details are shown in fig 5. At step 716, as shown in fig. 5 step 516, once the UL or DL signal is generated, the transmitter transmits the generated UL signal or DL signal i.e. SIP symbols and data symbols to the receiver. At step 716a, in UL, the UE as a transmitter transmits the SIP symbols with UL data as UL signal to the BS. At step 716b, in DL, the BS as a transmitter transmits the SIP symbols with DL data as DL signal to the UE. At step 718, the receiverapplies neutral channel estimation and / or neutral detection to receive UL or DL signal. The detailed procedure is shown in fig 6. In the SIP scheme, the SIP symbols are superimposed with data symbols in indicated REs. There are several ways to superimpose the SIP symbols to data symbols. In an orthogonal SIP scheme, SIP symbols from all layers are not overlapped in REs, which means an RE never has SIP symbols from more than one MIMO layer. In a non-orthogonal SIP scheme, SIP symbols from all layers are overlapped in REs, but the SIP symbol is transformed differently per layer. In an orthogonal SIP scheme, an SI pattern may be designed so that the same RE never has SIP from more than one MIMO layer. The pattern of SI symbols may comprise at least one of: alternating SI symbols assignments in a subcarrier dimension; alternating SI symbols assignments in a time dimension; alternating SI symbols assignments in a code dimension; or alternating SI symbols assignments in a combination of at least two dimensions among a subcarrier dimension, a time dimension, or a code dimension. The pattern of SI symbols may be identified based on a user device identifier, a cell identifier and / or an antenna identifier. Fig. 8 shows an example of orthogonal (non-overlapping in the subcarrier dimension) SIP scheme for two-layer MIMO. In this embodiment, the two MIMO layers use different subcarrier set. In layer 1, odd subcarriers are used to transmit the SI symbols while other subcarriers are used for data transmission. In layer 2, even subcarriers are used for SI symbols transmission while other subcarriers are for data symbols transmission. It is noted that, it may use different subcarrier set for SIP transmission in layer 1 and layer 2, the only condition is that the two subcarrier sets are not overlapping in subcarrier dimension. For MIMO with higher number of layers, M, where the M is a positive integer, for example, M is 2,4,8,12,16, and 24 or more. There may be M non-overlapping subcarrier sets to provide orthogonality in the subcarrier for M-layer MIMO. Fig. 9 shows an example of orthogonal (non-overlapping in the time dimension) SIP scheme for two-layer MIMO. In this embodiment, the two MIMO layers use different time pattern. In layer 1, even symbols are used to transmit the SI symbols while other symbols are used for data transmission. In layer 2, odd symbols are used for SI symbols transmission while other symbols are for data symbols transmission. It is noted that, it may use different time patterns for SI transmission in layer 1 and layer 2, the only condition is that the time patterns are not overlapping in time dimension. For MIMO with higher number of layers, M, where the M is a positive integer, for example, M is 2,4,8,12,16, and 24 or more. There may be M non-overlapping time patterns to provide orthogonality in the time dimension for M-layer MIMO. The BS may decide the SIP allocation based on the scheduling decisions, utilizing predefined SI patterns. The BS may signal the chosen pattern to the UE via one or more Radio Resource Control, RRC messages, or one or more Medium Access Control Control elements, MAC CEs, or one or more Downlink Control Information, DCI, after which the UE can construct the PUSCH signal comprising SIP symbols. In case, BS is the transmitter, the BS construct the PDSCH signal comprising SIP symbols according to the chosen pattern. When the MIMO layer allocation of the UE is changed, the BS may provide updated SIP configuration parameters to the UE. in case the UE is the transmitter, the UE products PUSCH based on the updated SIP configuration. In case BS is the transmitter, the BS products PDSCH based on the updated SIP configuration. The produced PUSCH and / or PDSCH may comprising SIP symbols generated based on the updated SIP configuration. Fig. 10 shows an example of a flow diagram of a process, performed by a UE and a BS, for the orthogonal SIP configuration for MIMO layers. It is noted that a single learned shared constellation can be used by all layers or separately learned constellations can be used per layer. In one example, per-layer SPs are alternated in different sub-carriers (SCs) as shown in fig 8 or in different time pattern as shown in fig 9. At step 1000, the BS makes a scheduler decision on MIMO layers allocation for the UE, which is used to determine the SIP configuration, e.g. utilizing predefined pattern for the plurality of REs. The pattern can be based on alternating SI symbols assignments in the subcarrier dimension, in a time dimension, in a code dimension and / or in a combination of at least two dimensions among a subcarrier dimension, a time dimension, or the code dimension. At step 1002, the BS transmits a configuration of a fourth set of constellations and / or a SIP configuration based on current MIMO layer allocation to the UE.

The configuration of the fourth set of constellations may comprise one or more of: an index of the constellation; a list of indices of the constellations; a power allocation of SIP symbols; a number of layers; an indication of REs; and / or an indication of code rate. The fourth set of constellations comprises one or more constellations, the one or more constellations comprise non-zero-mean, NZM constellations or zero-mean, ZM constellations. The configuration of the SIP configuration may comprise a transformation layer information. The transmission layer information may further comprise one or more of: indication of the REs, a pattern for the plurality of REs, and / or a power allocation of SIP symbols. The indication of the REs indicates the plurality of REs in which SIP symbols are superimposed with data symbols. The power allocation comprises an indication of a power of the SIP symbols relative to a power of SI D symbols in each of the each of the plurality of REs or an indication of an absolute power of the SIP symbols in each of the plurality of REs. The pattern comprising: a pattern of the plurality of REs applicable to each of a plurality of transmission layers; and / or an indication of one or more transmission layers where the pattern of the plurality of REs are for the transmission of SIP symbols. The SIP configuration may further comprise a power allocation of SIP symbols. Wherein the power allocation comprises an indication of a power of SIP symbols relative to a power of superimposed data, SID symbols in each of the each of the plurality of REs or an indication of an absolute Power of the SIP symbols in each of the plurality of REs. The power allocation may comprise an indication of a Power of SIP symbols relative to a power of SID symbols or an indication of the absolute power of the SIP symbols. The indication of power of the SIP symbols relative to the power of SID symbols may be defined for all SI symbols and data symbols. It may be defined only for or each of the plurality of REs in which SIP symbols are superimposed with data symbols. The power of the SIP symbols can be configured statically or dynamically via one or more Radio Resource Control, RRC messages, or one or more Medium Access Control Control elements, MAC CEs, or one or mor Downlink Control Information, DCI. The pattern of the plurality of REs is identified based on a user equipment identifier, a cell identifier and / or an antenna identifier. At step 1004, the transmitter applies the configuration of the fourth set of constellations and / or the SIP configuration for the transmission or reception of the SI symbols and data symbols, the details are shown in fig 5. At step 1006, as shown in fig. 5 step 516, once the signal is generated, the transmitter transmits the generated signal i.e. SIP symbols and data symbols to the receiver. At step 1006a, the UE as a transmitter transmits SIP symbols with UL data as UL signal e.g. PUSCH signal to the BS. At step 1006b, the BS as a transmitter transmits SIP symbols with DL data as DL signal e.g. PDSCH signal to the UE. At steps 1008 and 1010, when the BS changes the layer allocation of the UE, the BS transmits a configuration of the revised SIP configuration. At step 1012, the transmitter applies the revised SIP configuration for the transmission of the SIP symbols and data symbols, the details are shown in fig 5. At step 1014, as shown in fig. 5 step 516, once the signal is generated, the transmitter transmits the generated signal i.e. SIP symbols and data symbols to the receiver. At step 1014a, in UL, the UE as a transmitter transmits UL signal e.g. PUSCH signal based on the revised SIP configuration to the BS. At step 1014b, in DL, the BS as a transmitter transmits DL signal e.g. PDSCH signal based on the revised SIP configuration to the UE. Fig. 11 shows an example of non-orthogonal (overlapping) SIP scheme for two-layer MIMO; In this embodiment, SIP symbols from all layers are overlapped in REs, but the SIP symbols are transformed differently per layer. A transmission layer information is signalled from BS to UE. The transmission layer information may comprise an indication of a rotation to be applied to determine the SIP symbols; and / or an indication of a transformation to be applied to the SIP symbols. The indication of a rotation, for example, the rotation difference between the constellation and the SIP, can be utilized by the receiver to determine the SIP symbols. In another embodiment, the BS may signal the transmission layer information e.g. transformation of a SIP pattern. The SIP pattern may be transmitted along with the SI symbol pattern and the power level. The SI symbol pattern is applied to the plurality of REs and the SIP pattern is applied to transformation. For example, a gNB configures [1+1j, 1-1 j] as the SIP pattern, then layer 1 may use this pattern directly, while layer 2 may use a transformed version of this pattern as [1+1j, -1+1 j]. A BS may configure such transformation with sharing vector [1, -1], where elementwise multiplication of this vector with the SIP pattern of layer 1 ([1+1 j, 1 -1 j]) results the SIP pattern for layer 2. The transmission layer information can be based on a look-up table of predefined options, or it can be based on an arbitrary function that the BS can provide to the UE. Once having received the configuration, the UE can transmit PUSCH data with the SIP symbols e.g. SIP or the BS can transmit PDSCH data with the SIP symbols as well. It should be noted that the transmission layer information might depend on the number of spatially multiplexed UEs, which means that the allocation can change from one slot to another. Therefore, the BS should have the means to carry this information in the control channel, like other scheduling-related information. It can be carried via one or more Radio Resource Control, RRC messages, or one or more Medium Access Control Control elements, MAC CEs, or one or more Downlink Control Information, DCI. Fig. 12 shows an example of a flow diagram of a process, performed by a UE and a BS, for the non-orthogonal SIP configuration for MIMO layers. It is noted that a single learned shared constellation can be used by all layers or separately learned constellations can be used per layer. In this embodiment, SIP symbols from all layers are overlapped in REs, but the SIP symbols are transformed differently per layer. At step 1200, the BS makes a scheduler decision on MIMO layers allocation for the UE which is used to determine the SIP configuration, e.g. transmission layer information, it may comprise layer-specific SIP transformation per UE. At step 1202, the BS transmits a configuration of a fifth set of constellations and / or a SIP configuration based on current MIMO layer allocation to the UE. The fifth set of constellations may be same as the third set of constellations or an update of the third set of constellations. The configuration of the fifth set of constellations may comprise one or more of: an index of the constellation; a list of indices of the constellations; a power allocation of SIP symbols; a number of layers; an indication of REs; and / or an indication of code rate. The fifth set of constellations comprises one or more constellations, the one or more constellations comprises non-zero-mean, NZM constellations or zero-mean, ZM constellations. The configuration of the SIP configuration may comprise a transformation layer information. The transmission layer information may comprise an indication of a rotation to be applied to determine the SIP symbols; and / or an indication of a transformation to be applied to of the SIP symbols.
