Abstract

A method and apparatus for wireless communication and storage medium are provided. The apparatus includes at least one processor; and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to: determine a guard band width associated with a symbol based on information about resource allocation to the apparatus; set a pulse-shaping parameter associated with the symbol based on the guard band width; and output the symbol having a waveform based on the pulse-shaping parameter.

Claims (38)

1. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

at least one processor; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:

calculate a guard band width associated with a symbol based on information about resource allocation to the apparatus;

set a pulse-shaping parameter associated with the symbol based on the guard band width; and

output the symbol having a waveform based on the pulse-shaping parameter;

compare the guard band width with a threshold;

wherein execution of the instructions further causes the apparatus to, in response to the guard band width being greater than the threshold, set the pulse-shaping parameter such that the waveform of the symbol is in an original form without adjustment,

wherein execution of the instructions further causes the apparatus to, in response to the guard band width being not greater than the threshold, adjust the waveform of the symbol from the original form to an adjusted form based on the pulse-shaping parameter.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the information comprises allocation of physical resource blocks (PRBs) on the symbol and one or more adjacent symbols.

3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein execution of the instructions further causes the apparatus to determine the guard band width based on the allocation of the PRBs and an edge of a channel bandwidth.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the information comprises an active bandwidth part (BWP) on the symbol and one or more adjacent symbols.

5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein execution of the instructions further causes the apparatus to determine the guard band width based on the active BWP and an edge of a channel bandwidth.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the pulse-shaping parameter comprises a weighted overlap-and-add (WOLA) parameter, and execution of the instructions further causes the apparatus to adjust the waveform of the symbol by applying WOLA to the symbol based on the WOLA parameter.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the pulse-shaping parameter comprises a channel filter parameter, and execution of the instructions further causes the apparatus to adjust the waveform of the symbol by adjusting the channel filter parameter.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein execution of the instructions further causes the apparatus to receive the information about resource allocation to the apparatus in a next slot comprising the symbol.

9. A method for wireless communication, comprising:

calculating, by at least one processor, a guard band width associated with a symbol based on information about resource allocation to an apparatus comprising the at least one processor;

setting, by the at least one processor, a pulse-shaping parameter associated with the symbol based on the guard band width; and

outputting, by the at least one processor, the symbol having a waveform based on the pulse-shaping parameter,

wherein the method further comprises:

comparing the guard band width with a threshold;

in response to the guard band width being greater than the threshold, setting the pulse-shaping parameter such that the waveform of the symbol is in an original form without adjustment,

in response to the guard band width being not greater than the threshold, adjusting the waveform of the symbol from the original form to an adjusted form based on the pulse-shaping parameter.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the information comprises allocation of physical resource blocks (PRBs) on the symbol and one or more adjacent symbols.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising determining the guard band width based on the allocation of the PRBs and an edge of a channel bandwidth.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the information comprises an active bandwidth part (BWP) on the symbol and one or more adjacent symbols.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising determining the guard band width based on the active BWP and an edge of a channel bandwidth.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the pulse-shaping parameter comprises a weighted overlap-and-add (WOLA) parameter, and the method further comprises adjusting the waveform of the symbol by applying WOLA to the symbol based on the WOLA parameter.

15. The method of claim 9 , wherein the pulse-shaping parameter comprises a channel filter parameter, and the method further comprises adjusting the waveform of the symbol by adjusting the channel filter parameter.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of an apparatus for wireless communication, perform a process comprising:

calculating a guard band width associated with a symbol based on information about resource allocation to the apparatus;

setting a pulse-shaping parameter associated with the symbol based on the guard band width; and

outputting the symbol having a waveform based on the pulse-shaping parameter;

wherein the process further comprises:

comparing the guard band width with a threshold;

in response to the guard band width being greater than the threshold, setting the pulse-shaping parameter such that the waveform of the symbol is in an original form without adjustment,

in response to the guard band width being not greater than the threshold, adjusting the waveform of the symbol from the original form to an adjusted form based on the pulse-shaping parameter.
