Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently managing windowing and filtering to enhance spectral containment and minimize latency, particularly in next-generation communication scenarios like eMBB, mMTC, and URLLC, where adaptive control of signal transmission is crucial for improved bandwidth and reliability.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for user equipment to adaptively control windowing or filtering by receiving a timing advance (TA) value from a base station, determining the appropriate windowing or filtering type based on the TA value, and applying it to uplink signals, which includes predefined windowing types and filtering coefficients to optimize spectral containment and reduce latency.

AI summary

A method of transmitting a signal by adaptively controlling windowing or filtering by a user equipment in a wireless communication system, includes the steps of receiving a message including a timing advance (TA) value from a base station, determining a windowing type or a filtering type corresponding to the TA value, and transmitting an uplink signal to which the determined windowing type is applied. In this case, the windowing type is distinguished according to a length of a valid symbol and the filtering type can be distinguished according to a filter coefficient value.
