Solution Overview

Problem

High-frequency bands in 5G mobile communication experience significant path loss and shadow fading, leading to low signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) and high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in user equipment (UE), which is exacerbated by non-orthogonal user access, necessitating a low-order modulation and coding scheme with a low PAPR to improve efficiency and conserve battery power, especially in mMTC scenarios.

Innovation Solution

A data transmission method involving pointwise multiplication of frequency-domain data sequences followed by an inverse Fourier transform to generate a data sequence that is transmitted on a physical time-frequency resource, utilizing root-raised cosine functions to optimize data correlation and reduce PAPR without increasing bandwidth.
