Description

[0001]MULTI-LAYER DISCRETE FOURIER TRANSFORM SPREAD ORTHOGONAL FREQUENCY DIVISION MULTIPLEXING (DFT-S-OFDM) FOR SINGLE DOWNLINK CONTROL INFORMATION (DCI) SIMULTANEOUS TRANSMISSION FROM MULTIPLE PANELS (STxMP) TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure relates to wireless communications, and in particular, to multi-layer discrete Fourier transform (DFT) spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM) for single downlink control information (DCI) simultaneous multipanel transmission (STxMP). BACKGROUND The Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has developed and is developing standards for Fourth Generation (4G) (also referred to as Long Term Evolution (LTE)) and Fifth Generation (5G) (also referred to as New Radio (NR)) wireless communication systems. Such systems provide, among other features, broadband communication between network nodes, such as base stations, and mobile wireless devices (WD), as well as communication between network nodes and between WDs. The 3GPP is also developing standards for Sixth Generation (6G) wireless communication networks. Numerology In the time domain, NR downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) transmissions are organized into equally sized subframes of 1 ms each. A subframe is further divided into multiple slots of equal duration. The slot length depends on the numerology (i.e., on the subcarrier spacing (SCS) and the cyclic prefix (CP)). For 15 kHz SCS, there is only one slot per subframe. In general, for 15 ∙ 2ఓkHz SCS, where ^^ ∈ ^0,1,2,3,4^ is the SCS configuration, there are 2ఓslots per subframe. Each slot consists of 14 symbols (unless extended CP is configured for which each slot consists of 12 symbols). In the frequency domain, a system bandwidth is divided into resource blocks (RBs) each corresponding to 12 contiguous subcarriers. One subcarrier during one symbol interval forms one RE, which is the smallest physical resource in NR. Bandwidth parts NR is designed to support very large channel bandwidths (up to 400 MHz), but not all WDs are capable of handling such large channel bandwidth. For this reason, a WD may operate in a contiguous subset, which may not be centered around the carrier frequency, of the common resource blocks (CRBs) within a cell. This subset is called a bandwidth part (BWP). A WD may be configured with up to four DL BWPs and up to four UL BWPs per serving cell, where different numerologies may be configured for different BWPs. In the case of supplementary uplink (SUL), there may be up to four additional UL BWPs on the SUL carrier The starting position and bandwidth of a BWP is radio resource control (RRC) configured. Only one DL and one UL BWP may be active at the same time per serving cell. For time division duplex (TDD), the active DL and UL BWP must share the same center frequency. For frequency division duplex (FDD), this is not required. In the DL, a WD does not expect to receive, e.g., physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and / or physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) outside the active BWP. In the UL, a WD is not expected to transmit, e.g., physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and / or PUCCH outside of the active BWP. The network (NW), such as via a network node, may switch active BWP, e.g., via downlink control information (DCI) signaling. For example, DCI Format 1_1 (used for scheduling DL data transmissions) and DCI Format 0_1 (used for scheduling UL data transmissions) includes a 1 or 2 bit “BWP indicator” field for switching BWPs for DL and UL transmissions, respectively. The RBs within a BWP are known as physical resource blocks (PRBs) and are numbered starting from 0. When the NW schedules a DL or UL transmission, a set of virtual resource blocks (VRBs), which are mapped to PRBs, are signaled. In the DL, interleaved and non-interleaved mapping is supported. In the UL, only non-interleaved mapping is supported, for which there is a one-to-mapping between VRBs and CRBs. In what follows, unless otherwise stated, assume a one-to-one mapping between VRBs and PRBs, and simply use RBs to refer to both VRBs and CRBs. PUSCH The channel that carries data in the NR UL is called the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), which may be dynamically or semi-statically scheduled. In NR, there are two possible waveforms that may be used for PUSCH: cyclic prefix orthogonal frequency division multiplex (CP-OFDM) and discrete Fourier transform (DFT)-S- OFDM. The time-and-frequency domain resource allocation of said PUSCH is signaled by the NW to the WD. Furthermore, there are two transmission schemes specified for PUSCH: codebook (CB)-based precoding and non-codebook (NCB)-based precoding. PUSCH scheduling UL data transmissions may be dynamically scheduled by a dynamic grant (DG) (via DCI signaling) or semi-statically scheduled by a configured grant (CG) (via RRC signaling). PUSCH scheduling with DG PUSCH transmissions may be dynamically scheduled by sending from the NW to a WD a DG via the DCI in PDCCH. After decoding the DCI, the WD transmits data (unless the transmission buffer is empty) over PUSCH according to the DG. The DG may be carried, e.g., over DCI Format 0_1 (non-fallback format) or DCI Format 0_0 (fallback format). The non-fallback format supports all NR features but is larger in size compared to the fallback format which offers limited functionality but with a smaller overhead. Contents that are common for both the non-fallback and fallback formats include, e.g., BWP indication, frequency-domain resource allocation, time-domain resource allocation, transport-block related information (modulation and coding scheme (MCS), new data indicator (NDI), and redundance version (RV)), and PUSCH power-control parameters. Contents that are only in the non-fallback format (DCI Format 0_1) include, e.g., multi-antenna related information. PUSCH scheduling with CG NR supports two schemes for scheduling PUSCH transmissions without a DG: ^ CG type 1: PUSCH transmission parameters, periodicity, and offset is RRC configured and PUSCH is periodically transmitted; and ^ CG type 2: PUSCH periodicity and offset is RRC configured but PUSCH transmission is activated / deactivated using dynamic signaling. With CG type 1, PUSCH transmission parameters are RRC configured (see ConfiguredGrantConfig IE in 3GPP Technical Standard (TS) 38.331). The PUSCH periodicity and offset are also RRC configured, which allows the NW to control when the WD should transmit PUSCH. With CG type 2, the PUSCH periodicity and offset are RRC configured. Activation and deactivation of the PUSCH transmission is via PDCCH scrambled by CS-radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) and PUSCH transmission parameters are signaled via DCI in said PDCCH (e.g., DCI Format 0_0 or DCI Format 0_1). PUSCH waveform NR supports two different PUSCH waveforms: CP-OFDM and DFT-S-OFDM. The NW decides the waveform for PUSCH via RRC signaling. Specifically, for PUSCH scheduled by a DG, if the higher-layer parameter transformPrecoder in PUSCH-Config (see below snippet of ASN code from 3GPP Technical Standard (TS) 38.331 version 17.2.0) is enabled, the waveform is DFT-S-OFDM; if it is disabled, the waveform is CP- OFDM. If this field is not present, the WD applies the value of the higher-layer parameter msg3-transformPrecoding in RACH-ConfigCommon. PUSCH-Config ::= SEQUENCE { … transformPrecoder ENUMERATED {enabled, disabled} OPTIONAL, -- Need S … } CP-OFDM CP-OFDM is the baseline UL waveform. With CP-OFDM. non-contiguous frequency allocation is possible, which may simplify UL scheduling. CP-OFDM may also make the receiver less complex compared to DFT-s-OFDM (e.g., simplified channel equalization and layer separation) and supports coherent precoding. In NR 3GPP Technical Release 17 (3GPP Rel-17), CP-OFDM supports up to four-layer UL transmission. DFT-S-OFDM The main benefit with DFT-S-OFDM compared to CP-OFDM is that UL coverage may be improved as higher power-amplifier efficiency is possible due to a lower cubic metric. Drawbacks with DFT-S-OFDM include scheduling restrictions as only contiguous allocation in the frequency domain, for which the number of RBs must be a multiple of 2, 3, and 5, is possible. Furthermore, UL precoding is more restrictive, as coherent precoding (i.e., coherent combining of layers over antenna ports) is not possible. In fact, only single- layer UL transmission is supported with DFT-S-OFDM in NR 3GPP Rel-17. PUSCH precoding For PUSCH scheduled by a DG, the NW configures in RRC the transmission scheme by the higher-layer parameter txConfig in PUSCH-Config IE (see below snippet of ASN code from 3GPP TS 38.331 version 17.2.0). Two transmission schemes are supported: CB-based precoding and NCB-based precoding. CB-based precoding may be used for non-calibrated WDs and / or for FDD (i.e., UL / DL reciprocity does not need to hold). NCB-based precoding, on the other hand, relies on UL / DL reciprocity and is, hence, intended for TDD. PUSCH-Config ::= SEQUENCE { … txConfig ENUMERATED {codebook, nonCodebook} OPTIONAL, -- Need S … codebookSubset ENUMERATED {fullyAndPartialAndNonCoherent, partialAndNonCoherent,nonCoherent} OPTIONAL, -- Cond codebookBased maxRank INTEGER (1..4) OPTIONAL, -- Cond codebookBased … } CB-based precoding With CB-based precoding for the NR uplink, the NW configures the WD to transmit sounding reference signals (SRS) over a number of WD antennas. Based on SRS- based channel measurements, the NW signals a transmit precoding matrix indicator (TPMI), which indicates the transmission rank and precoder that the WD should apply over the WD antennas when transmitting PUSCH. The precoder candidates are tabulated in Clause 6.3.1.5 of 3GPP TS 38.211. CB-based PUSCH is enabled if the higher-layer parameter txConfig in PUSCH- Config IE is set to codebook. For dynamically scheduled PUSCH, CB-based PUSCH transmission may be summarized in the following steps. 1. The WD transmits a sounding reference signal (SRS), configured in an SRS resource set with higher-layer parameter usage in SRS-Config IE set to codebook. Up to two SRS resources (for testing up to two virtualizations / beams / panels) each with up to four ports, may be configured in the SRS resource set. ^ The network node determines the number of layers (i.e., the rank) and a preferred precoder (i.e., TPMI) from a codebook subset based on the received SRS from one of the SRS resources. The codebook subset is configured via the higher-layer parameter codebookSubset in PUSCH-Config IE (see above snippet of ASN code from 3GPP TS 38.331 version 17.2.0), based on reported WD capability, and is one of fully coherent, partially coherent, or non- coherent. 2. If two SRS resources are configured in the SRS resource set, the network node indicates the selected SRS resource via the 1-bit SRS resource indicator (SRI) field in the DCI scheduling the PUSCH transmission. If only one SRS resource is configured in the SRS resource set, the SRI field is not present in the DCI. 3. The network node indicates, via the DCI field “Precoding information and number of layers”, the number of layers and the TPMI. The maximum number of layers is limited by the higher-layer parameter maxRank in PUSCH-Config IE (see above snippet of ASN code from 3GPP TS 38.331 version17.2.0). Demodulation reference signal (DMRS) port(s) associated with the layer(s) are also indicated in DCI via the field “Antenna ports”. Unless UL full-power mode 1 is configured, the number of bits in DCI used for indicating the number of layers (if transform precoding is enabled, the number of PUSCH layers is limited to 1) and the TPMI is determined as follows: - 4, 5, or 6 bits if the number of antenna ports is 4, if transform precoding is disabled, and if the higher-layer parameter maxRank in PUSCH-Config IE is set to 2, 3, or 4 (see Table 1); - 2, 4, or 5 bits if the number of antenna ports is 4, if transform precoding is disabled or enabled, and if the higher-layer parameter maxRank in PUSCH-Config IE is set to 1 (see Table 2); - 2 or 4 bits if the number of antenna ports is 2, if transform precoding is disabled, and if the higher-layer parameter maxRank in PUSCH-Config IE is set to 2 (see Table 3); - 1 or 3 bits if the number of antenna ports is 2, if transform precoding is disabled or enabled, and if the higher-layer parameter maxRank in PUSCH-Config IE is set to 1 (see Table 4); - 0 bits if 1 antenna port is used for PUSCH transmission. 4. The WD performs PUSCH transmission over the antenna ports corresponding to the SRS ports in the indicated SRS resource.

Specifically, the WD measures received CSI-RS and deduces a suitable precoder for SRS transmission(s), resulting in one or more (virtual) SRS ports, each corresponding to a spatial layer. A WD may be configured with up to four SRS resources, each with a single (virtual) SRS port, in an SRS resource set with higher-layer parameter usage in SRS- Config IE set to nonCodebook. A WD transmits the up to four SRS resources. The NW measures the UL channel based on the received SRS, selects the preferred SRS resource(s), and indicates the selection via the SRI field in DCI. The WD uses this information to precode PUSCH with a transmission rank that equals the number of indicated SRS resources (and, hence, the number of SRS ports). The size of the SRI field in the DCI format scheduling the PUSCH is: ୫୧୬^^^^౮,ே^^^^^logଶ^^ ^^^ୗୖୗ^^^ ^^ bits. Here, ^^ୗୖୗis the number of number of layers. DMRS for PUSCH DMRS for PUSCH is an UL RS (that consists of a pseudo-random quadrature phase shift keyed (QPSK) sequence for CP-OFDM or a low-peak to average power ratio (PAPR) sequence for DFT-S-OFDM) that is used for demodulating PUSCH such that the receiver (i.e., the network node) may handle time-varying and / or frequency-selective channels. DMRS is confined to the scheduled PUSCH time-and-frequency-domain allocation. The mapping of DMRS to resource elements (REs) is configurable in both the frequency domain and the time domain. In the frequency domain, there are two mapping types: type 1 (comb based) or type 2 (non-comb based). In the time-domain, DMRS may be either single symbol or double symbol, where the latter means that DMRS is mapped in pairs of two adjacent symbols. Furthermore, a WD may be configured with one, two, three, or four single-symbol DMRS, or one or two double-symbol DMRS. In low-Doppler scenarios, one DMRS symbol may be sufficient whereas in high-Doppler scenarios, additional DMRS symbols are required. The frequency-domain starting position of DMRS is the same as the frequency- domain starting position of PUSCH. The time-domain starting position of DMRS depends on the PUSCH mapping type: ^ For PUSCH mapping type A (slot-based scheduling), the first DMRS symbol is in the third or fourth (i.e., symbol 2 or 3) of a slot. ^ For PUSCH mapping type B (non-slot-based scheduling), the first DMRS symbol of a slot is the same as the first PUSCH symbol of a slot. DMRS for PUSCH configuration DMRS for PUSCH is RRC configured through the DMRS-UplinkConfig IE (see below for ASN code in 3GPP TS 38.331 version 17.2.0).

Type 1 is comb based with 2 code division multiplex (CDM) groups, whereas type 2 is not comb based with 3 CDM groups. For DFT-S-OFDM, only type 1 is supported. FIG.1 is an illustration of the two DMRS types. Note that there are multiple DMRS ports per CDM group, which are separated using frequency-domain (and time-domain, for double-symbol DMRS) OCC(s): - For single-symbol DMRS, there exist 4 and 6 orthogonal DMRS ports (2 DMRS ports per CDM group, separated using a length-2 frequency domain orthogonal cover code (FD-OCC)) for type 1 and type 2, respectively; - For double-symbol DMRS, there exist 8 and 12 orthogonal DMRS ports (4 DMRS ports per CDM group, separated using a length-2 FD-OCC combined with a length-2 time domain orthogonal cover code (TD-OCC)) for type 1 and type 2, respectively; ^ Any additional DMRS symbols (0, 1, 2 or 3 for single-symbol DMRS and 0 or 1 for double-symbol DMRS), configured by the higher-layer parameter dmrs- AdditionalPosition. The position of additional DMRS depends on the PUSCH mapping type and PUSCH duration according to a predefined table. Note that it is not possible to configure a TD-OCC over additional (i.e., non-contiguous) DMRS. FIG.2 is an example of single-symbol (left part of the figure) and double-symbol (right part of the figure) DMRS with 2 and 1 additional DMRS symbol(s), respectively; ^ The associated phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) (if any), configured by the higher-layer parameter phaseTrackingRS; and ^ The maximum number of adjacent DMRS symbols (1 or 2), configured by the higher-layer parameter maxLength. If transform precoding is disabled (i.e., if the waveform is CP-OFDM), DMRS for PUSCH may be additionally and optionally configured with respect to scrambling ID 0 and 1, configured by RRC parameters scramblingID0 and scramblingID1, respectively, which are used for generating the pseudo-random DMRS sequence. If transform precoding is enabled (i.e., if the waveform is DFT-S-OFDM), DMRS group hopping or sequence hopping may be configured by the higher-layer parameters sequenceGroupHopping and sequenceHopping. If ^^ / 2-binary phase shift keying (BPSK) modulation is not used for PUSCH, the higher-layer parameter nPUSCH-Identity determines the low-PAPR sequence. In NR 3GPP Rel-16, to reduce PAPR for DMRS for CP-OFDM combined with fully coherent precoding, the higher-layer parameter dmrs-Uplink-r16 may be enabled. Doing so makes the DMRS sequence depend on the CDM group, which may be shown to reduce PAPR. If this field is not present, the same DMRS sequence is used over all CDM groups. Furthermore, to reduce PAPR for DMRS for DFT-S-OFDM when ^^ / 2-BPSK is used together with spectrum shaping, two different scrambling seeds may be configured via the higher-layer parameter dmrs-UplinkTransformPrecoding-r16. If this field is not present, the cell ID is used as scrambling seed. DMRS for PUSCH port mapping FIG.2 shows DMRS ports mapped to resource elements within one CDM group. DMRS ports that belong to the same CDM group are separated by a length-2 FD-OCC (and a length-2 TD-OCC, for double-symbol DMRS). Specifically, the DMRS sequence is mapped to the following subcarriers (for DFT-S-OFDM, only DMRS type 1 is supported): ^^ ൌ ^4 ^^ ^ 2 ^^ᇱ ^ ∆, for type 1,6^^ ^ ^^ᇱ ^ ∆, for 2.Here, ^^ is the subcarrier subcarrier within the scheduled PUSCH bandwidth), ^^ ∈ ^0,1,2, … ^, ^^ᇱ∈ ^0,1^, and ∆ is an offset that depends on the CDM group. In Table 5 and Table 6, port-specific parameters for DMRS type 1 and type 2 are given. Here, ^^^^ ^^′^, where ^^ᇱ∈ ^0,1^, is the FD-OCC and ^^^^ ^^′^, where ^^ᇱൌ 0 for single- symbol DMRS and ^^ᇱ∈ ^0,1^ for double-symbol DMRS, is the TD-OCC. Note that DMRS ports in different CDM groups are separated by different offsets and that DMRS ports within the same CDM group are separated through coding.

The DMRS port mapping is signaled to the WD from the network node via the field “Antenna ports” in the DCI scheduling the PUSCH. Table 7 and Table 8 give examples of what an indication looks like for DCI Format 0_1, CP-OFDM, single-symbol DMRS type 1, and for transmission rank 1 and 2, respectively. Similar tables may be found in 3GPP TS 38.212 for rank 3 and 4, double-symbol DMRS, and for DMRS type 2. REs, which are associated with a CDM group, that are not used for DMRS may be used for PUSCH. After layer mapping, the DMRS and the associated PUSCH are mapped to physical antennas through PUSCH precoding.

The PTRS configuration is WD-specific and the PTRS is associated with one of the DMRS ports used for the PDSCH or PUSCH transmission, meaning that DMRS and its associated PTRS are transmitted using the same precoder and meaning that the modulated symbol used for the PTRS is based on whatever DMRS sequence is configured. It means that there is no specific configuration of the PTRS sequence as it borrows from the DMRS. In UL, for PUSCH scheduled by DCI format 0_0 or by activation DCI format 0_0, the UL PTRS port is associated to DM-RS port 0. For PUSCH scheduled by DCI format 0_1 and DCI format 0_2, the PTRS port to DMRS port association is dynamically indicated in DCI and is described in clause 6.2.2 in GPP TS 38.214. The presence of PTRS is indicated by RRC signaling for UL and DL independently. The uplink and downlink PTRS configurations in 3GPP TS 38.331 v17.2.0 are shown as following.

Furthermore, there may be at most 4 orthogonal PTRS ports in total for MU-MIMO for Type1 DMRS and 6 in total for Type2 DMRS. PTRS are not mapped to resource elements used for DMRS, SSB (Synchronization Signal Block), CSI-RS (Channel State Information Reference Signal), etc. The supported time and frequency densities for PTRS in case of CP-OFDM include: ^ Time densities: 1, ½, or ¼ (i.e., one PTRS symbol every symbol, every 2nd, and every 4thOFDM symbol, respectively); and ^ Freq. densities: ½ or ¼ (i.e., one PTRS subcarrier every 2ndand 4thPRB, respectively). Time and frequency density are associated with DCI parameters, such as MCS (modulation and coding scheme) and scheduled bandwidth (BW) and are specified by Clause 5.1.6.3 in 3GPP TS 38.214 v17.2.0 for DL and clause 6.2.3 in 3GPP TS 38.214 v17.2.0 for UL. PTRS is confined in the scheduling RBs. PTRS for PUSCH CP-OFDM For PUSCH CP-OFDM, PTRS is mapped on one DMRS subcarrier of the associated DMRS port in each allocated RB. Also, the subcarrier used for a PTRS port must be one of the subcarriers also used for the DM-RS port associated with the PTRS port. PTRS sub-carrier ^^ in the scheduled PDSCH or PUSCH RBs is determined as: ^^ ൌ ^^^ோ^ா^ ^ ൫ ^^ ^^^்ିோௌ^ ^^^ோ^^^ ൯ ^^^ோ^^. Here: ^ ^^ ൌ 0,1,2, …; ^ ^^^ோ^ா^ is the sub-carrier offset and is given in Table 6.4.1.2.2.1-1 for UL in 3GPP TS 38.211 v17.2.0. The table are copied below, where resourceElementOffset is a parameter configured by RRC. If resourceElementOffset is not configured, the column corresponding to 'offset00' shall be used; ^ ^^^்ିோௌis the frequency density of PTRS and ^^PTRS∈ ^2,4^; ^ ^^^ோ^^^ is the RB offset for PTRS and is given by: o^^^ோ^^^ൌ ^ ^^ோே்ூ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^^்ିோௌ if ^^ோ^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^^்ିோௌ ൌ 0^^ோே்ூ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^ ^^ோ^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^^்ିோௌ ^ ^^ ^^ℎ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^;^ ^ ^^ோ^is the number of scheduled RBs; and ^ nRNTIis the RNTI associated with the DCI scheduling the transmission. Within each RB allocated for PTRS, the subcarrier for PTRS, also referred to as resource element offset k RE ref, is determined by both the index of the associated DMRS port and a RRC parameter resourceElementOffset. Table 6.4.1.2.2.1-1: The parameter k RE ref(UL). krefDM-RS antenna DM-RS Configuration type 1 DM-RS Configuration type 2 port resourceElementOffset resourceElementOffset ~poffset offset offset offset offset offset offset offset 00 01 10 11 00 01 10 11 0 0 2 6 8 0 1 6 7 1 2 4 8 10 1 6 7 0 2 1 3 7 9 2 3 8 9 3 3 5 9 11 3 8 9 2 4 - - - - 4 5 10 11 5 - - - - 5 10 11 4 For PTRS time domain mapping, the mapping starts at the first symbol containing PDSCH / PUSCH in a slot. Then it is mapped to every ^^ symbols (according to the time density 1 / ^^). PTRS is not transmitted in OFDM symbols that contain PDSCH / PUSCH DMRS. PTRS mapping is restarted at each DMRS symbol and then mapped relative to this symbol. In case of two adjacent DMRS symbols, the mapping is restarted using the second DMRS symbol as a reference. An example of PTRS REs in a PTRS RB is shown in FIG.3 for time domain density is ½ ( ^^ ൌ 2), where the PTRS port is associated with type 1 DMRS port 1 and the RRC parameter resourceElementOffset is configured as ‘offset10’ with a single symbol DMRS in the left figure and a double symbol DMRS in the right figure. Another example is shown in FIG. 4, where the PTRS port is associated with a single symbol type 1 DMRS port 1 (shown on the left) and a single symbol type 2 DMRS port 1 (shown on the right), and again both with the RRC parameterresourceElementOffset configured as ‘offset10’ but with a PTRS time density of 1 ( ^^ ൌ1).For CP-OFDM, in each subcarrier allocated for PTRS, the DMRS symbol in that subcarrier and the first front-loaded DMRS OFDM symbol before applying FD-OCC is used also for the PTRS. PTRS for PUSCH DFT-s-OFDM In existing NR specifications, when transform precoding or DFT-s-OFDM is enabled, only single layer PUSCH is supported. Also, only a single PTRS port is supported.

Some embodiments provide multi-layer discrete Fourier transform (DFT) spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM) for single downlink control information (DCI) simultaneous multipanel (STxMP). Returning now to the drawing figures, in which like elements are referred to by like reference numerals, there is shown in FIG.7 a schematic diagram of a communication system 10, according to an embodiment, such as a 3GPP-type cellular network that may support standards such as LTE and / or NR (5G), which comprises an access network 12, such as a radio access network, and a core network 14. The access network 12 comprises a plurality of network nodes 16a, 16b, 16c (referred to collectively as network nodes 16), such as NBs, eNBs, gNBs or other types of wireless access points, each defining a corresponding coverage area 18a, 18b, 18c (referred to collectively as coverage areas 18). Each network node 16a, 16b, 16c is connectable to the core network 14 over a wired or wireless connection 20. A first wireless device (WD) 22a located in coverage area 18a is configured to wirelessly connect to, or be paged by, the corresponding network node 16a. A second WD 22b in coverage area 18b is wirelessly connectable to the corresponding network node 16b. While a plurality of WDs 22a, 22b (collectively referred to as wireless devices 22) are illustrated in this example, the disclosed embodiments are equally applicable to a situation where a sole WD is in the coverage area or where a sole WD is connecting to the corresponding network node 16. Note that although only two WDs 22 and three network nodes 16 are shown for convenience, the communication system may include many more WDs 22 and network nodes 16. Also, it is contemplated that a WD 22 may be in simultaneous communication and / or configured to separately communicate with more than one network node 16 and more than one type of network node 16. For example, a WD 22 may have dual connectivity with a network node 16 that supports LTE and the same or a different network node 16 that supports NR. As an example, WD 22 may be in communication with an eNB for LTE / E-UTRAN and a gNB for NR / NG-RAN.

Having described the general process flow of arrangements of the disclosure and having provided examples of hardware and software arrangements for implementing the processes and functions of the disclosure, the sections below provide details and examples of arrangements for multi-layer discrete Fourier transform (DFT) spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM) for single downlink control information (DCI) simultaneous multipanel (STxMP). UE capability signaling In some embodiments, the WD 22 indicates during WD capability signaling the maximum number of supported PTRS port for PUSCH STxMP. In some embodiments, the WD 22 indicates during WD capability signaling the maximum number of supported PTRS port for PUSCH STxMP for DFT-s-OFDM (i.e., a separate indication is used compared to PUSCH STxMP CP-OFDM). In some embodiments, the WD 22 indicates support for PUSCH STxMP DFT-s- OFDM with support for up to X number of WD panels, then the WD 22 automatically supports up to X number of PTRS ports for the PUSCH STxMP DFT-s-OFDM transmission. In some embodiments, in cases where the WD capability indicates support of multiple PTRS ports for PUSCH STxMP DFT-s-OFDM transmission, the WD capability signaling in addition could include information related to one or more of: ^ Support of separating the PTRS ports using different sequences (as described herein); ^ Support of separating the ports using different time domain codes (e.g., TD-OCC); and / or ^ Support of separating the ports using different frequency allocation (as described herein). Number of PTRS port for STxMP In some embodiments, the maximum number of PTRS ports for STxMP DFT-s- OFDM transmission may be RRC configured. In some embodiments, the RRC configuration is done using a new parameter in PTRS-UplinkConfig information element as defined in 3GPP TS 38.331 version 17.2.0. In some embodiments, a previous parameter “maxNrofPorts” in PTRS-UplinkConfig is re-used also for indicating the maximum number of PTRS ports for STxMP DFT-s-OFDM transmission. In some embodiments, each PTRS port is associated with one WD panel (and / or SRS resource set). So, for example, in case the WD 22 is configured for STxMP with up to 4 WD panels (and / or 4 SRS resource sets), and the WD 22 is configured with maximum 4 PTRS ports, then the number of PTRS ports that are used depends on the number of used WD panels during the coming PUSCH transmission. So, for example, in case a WD 22 is configured with STxMP with 2 WD panels, and is configured with a maximum of two PTRS ports, and the WD 22 is triggered with PUSCH transmission using only one of the two WD panels (i.e., PUSCH transmission associated with only one of two SRS resource set with usage codebook or nonCodebook), then the WD 22 will only transmit one of the maximum two PTRS ports (i.e., the PTRS port that is associated with the WD panel used for the transmission). In NR 3GPP Rel-18 it has been considered that during STxMP operation with two WD panels, the WD 22 is configured with two SRS resource sets with usage ‘codebook’ or ‘nonCodebook’, and where each SRS resource set should be transmitted from one WD panel each. In case a WD 22 is configured with STxMP with up to X WD panels, and with maximum X PTRS ports, it is desirable that the network node 16 knows which PTRS port that is associated with which WD panel (i.e., SRS resource set), in order to properly decode the PTRS ports. In some embodiments, to solve this, there is an association between an SRS resource set with usage ‘codebook’ or ‘nonCodebook’ and an PTRS port. E.g., in some embodiments, in case a WD 22 is configured with maximum two PTRS ports, and STxMP with up to two WD panels, a first PTRS port is associated with a first SRS resource set with usage ‘codebook’ or ‘nonCodebook’ (e.g., the SRS resource set with lowest SRS resource set ID as specified in SRS-config IE in 3GPP TS 38.3331 version 17.2.0), and the second PTRS port is associated with the second SRS resource set with usage ‘codebook’ or ‘nonCodebook’(e.g., the SRS resource set with second lowest SRS resource set ID as specified in SRS-config IE in 3GPP TS 38.3331 version 17.2.0). “Separation by sequence” Some embodiments are relevant both for STxMP with DFT-S-OFDM (i.e., different PTRS ports are transmitted over different panels, as discussed in NR 3GPP Rel- 18) and for multi-layer DFT-s-OFDM (i.e., as proposed for NR 3GPP Rel-19). For PUSCH STxMP with DFT-s-OFDM, where one PTRS port is transmitted per WD panel, it could be beneficial to not use the same PTRS port for the two (or more) WD panels, since if there is cross interference between the PUSCH transmission of the two WD panels, it will be difficult for the network to separate the two PTRS, and hence do a correct phase noise estimation for respective WD panel. For multi-layer DFT-s-OFDM, more than one PTRS port may be needed in case different local oscillator are used for different PUSCH layers. One way to separate multiple PTRS ports for DFT-s-OFDM (e.g., from different WD panels if STxMP is configured for DFT-s-OFDM) is to use different sequences for the different PTRS ports. The sequence generation for PTRS port for PUSCH DFT-s- OFDM is currently defined by the parameter nPUSCH-Identity in the field “transformPrecodingEnabled” as specified in DMRS-UplinkConfig information element of 3GPP TS 38.331 v17.2.0. In some embodiments, the WD 22 supporting DFT-s-OFDM may be configured with more than one parameter that indicates the sequence of the PTRS ports. In some embodiments, a second parameter (e.g., called “nPUSCH-Identity-r18” is introduced, where the parameter “nPUSCH-Identity-r18” may be used to indicate the sequence for a second PTRS port. In some embodiments, in case X number of PTRS Ports is supported for PUSCH DFT-s-OFDM, a list of X sequences or IDs to be used for deriving the sequences may be RRC configured where each configured sequence / ID is associated with one PTRS port. In some embodiments, when the WD 22 is configured with more than one PTRS port for PUSCH DFT-s-OFDM, the sequence of the first PTRS port is defined in RRC by a parameter (e.g., defined based on the parameter “nPUSCH-Identity) and the sequences for the remaining PTRS ports are determined based on a rule, where the parameter used to indicate the sequence of the first PTRS port is used as input. One example of such a rule is that if the WD 22 is configured with X PTRS ports, and the RRC configured parameter determining the sequence of the first PTRS ports is Y, then the sequence for the remaining X-1 PTRS ports may be : n = mod(Y + m, k), where n is the sequence number of PTRS Port m, m is the PTRS port number for the remaining X-1 PTRS ports (1,2,3…X-1), and k is the total number of available sequences (which is 1008 in legacy NR specification). Other rules are possible. In some embodiments, the sequence of remaining PTRS ports are determined based on a rule, in order to save RRC signaling overhead. “Separation by mapping to different PTRS sample positions before transform precoding ” When two or more layers are supported for DFT-s-OFDM and two PTRS ports are configured, each PTRS port may be associated to one of the two or more layers. For each PTRS port, which layer to be associated may be indicated by the network node 16. Typically, for better performance, a PTRS port should be associated to a layer with a higher signal to noise ratio (SNR). An example is shown in FIG 13. In FIG.13, a different precoder is applied to each PTRS port (and associated PUSCH layer). This corresponds, e.g., to a STxMP transmission, where a different precoder is applied for each panel. It could also correspond to a multi-layer PUSCH transmission, for which the antenna precoding is such that not more than one layer is mapped to a single antenna port (which is required to preserve the low-PAPR property of a DFT-s-OFDM waveform). In some embodiments, the PTRS sample positions before transform precoding for a first PTRS port may be determined based on the existing Table 6.4.1.2.2.2-1 in 3GPP TS 38.211, while the PTRS sample positions before transform precoding for a second PTRS port may be allocated such that they are not overlapped or not fully overlapped with the positions of the first PTRS port. This would avoid potential interference between the two PTRS ports. An example is shown in FIG.14, where the PTRS samples for the 2ndPTRS port are shifted by 3 samples to the left with respect to the PTRS samples of the 1stPTRS port and thus, the PTRS sample positions of the two PTRS ports do not overlap. This may be achieved by using different values of s and / or k in Table 6.4.1.2.2.2-1 for the second PTRS ports. An example is shown Table 10. Table 10: PTRS symbol mapping for PTRS port p (p=0,1) .

As used in some of the formulas above, the 2p and 2 and 4 are the val N group ues used forsamp. In some embodiments, partially overlapping PTRS ports is supported. Instead of shifting 2p or 4p for the index position, a different value than N group sampmay be used for a second port. The PTRS in the sequence index for the second port may shift 1p , 2p (N group samp= 4),3p ,4p(N group samp=2) . Same PTRS port is mapped to different DMRS ports In some embodiments, when using DFT-s-OFDM together with STxMP (SDM and / or SFN scheme), one PTRS port is transmitted per used WD panel and the PTRS port transmitted from each of the two (or more) WD panels are the same (i.e., same frequency, allocation, time allocation and sequence). However, the mapping of the PTRS port to antenna ports may be different over the two or more panels. For the SDM scheme, the PUSCH layer associated with the PTRS port may additionally be different over the two or more panels. One benefit with this solution is that the specification and RRC configuration impact is kept at a minimum. One drawback may be that there might be cross interference between the PTRS transmitted from different WD panels, which might have a negative impact on the phase noise estimation associated with the different WD panels. For a PUSCH scheduled by a DG, if the higher-layer parameter transformPrecoder in PUSCH-Config is enabled at the same time as an STxMP scheme is configured (e.g., if new parameter multipanelScheme-r18 is set to sdm-r18 or sfn-r18), and if PTRS is configured via PTRS-UplinkConfig IE, then this configuration is used to determine the PTRS port for all of the two or more SRS resource sets associated with the PUSCH.
