SCALABLE NUMEROLOGY WITH SYMBOL BOUNDARY ALIGNMENT FOR UNIFORM AND NON-UNIFORM SYMBOL DURATION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION

摘要

Aspects of the present disclosure provide various wireless communication numerology designs that can maintain symbol boundary alignment while multiplexing different numerologies in wireless communication. The symbols may be scaled for different tone or subcarrier spacings while maintaining the symbol boundary alignment between different numerologies. Maintaining the symbol-boundary alignment between different numerologies enables symbol-level numerology multiplexing. The disclosed numerology designs enable low latency communication and improved interference management, and provide non-ambiguous symbol boundary timing reference for multiplexing different numerologies.
