Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines reference signal generation and data optimization into a unified joint optimization framework. The network device performs coordinated optimization of both reference signals and data together, eliminating the previous independent design approach. This merging allows the system to achieve better data transmission performance by considering the interdependencies between reference signals and data in the optimization process.

AI summary

Embodiments of this application provide a non-coherent data transmission method and a communication apparatus. In the method, a transmit end device determines, in a first constellation, a first constellation point corresponding to first to-be-modulated bits, where the first constellation point corresponds to P first symbols, P=M∗N, M is a positive integer, and N is an integer greater than 1; and sends the P first symbols on N resource units by using M antenna ports, or sends P second symbols determined based on the P first symbols, and skips sending demodulation reference signals of the P first symbols or the P second symbols. In the method, a constellation is designed, and each constellation point in the constellation corresponds to a plurality of resource units, so that data can be transmitted with no need to transmit a reference signal, and only the data needs to be transmitted. In this way, all scheduled resource units can be jointly designed, an optimization dimension is higher, and data transmission performance is effectively improved.
