COMMUNICATION SYSTEM HAVING A CONFIGURABLE MODULATION ORDER AND AN ASSOCIATED METHOD AND APPARATUS
A method, apparatus, receiver and system provide for configurability of the modulation order of a communications system, such as an autoencoder-based communication system. With respect to a system including a transmitter and a receiver, the transmitter encodes a message into a vector of channel symbols for transmission via a channel. The message is encoded pursuant to a modulation order m that is adjustable up to a maximum modulation order Mmax. The receiver receives a vector of samples generated by the channel and determines a first prediction vector for the message encoded by the transmitter. The receiver includes a slicing layer to eliminate one or more elements of the first prediction vector if the modulation order m is less than the maximum modulation order Mmax so as to generate a second prediction vector tailored to the modulation order from which a prediction of the message encoded by the transmitter is identified.

TRANSMISSION AND DETERMINATION OF CHANNEL STATE INFORMATION
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, devices, apparatuses and computer readable storage media for transmission and determination of CSI. A first device determines a set of CSI reports for a channel between the first device and a second device serving the first device, each CSI report having a different priority for transmission and comprising first information about a first set of parameters that is required to be transmitted and second information about a second set of parameters that can be selectively transmitted, the second information being divided into a first portion having a first priority for transmission and a second portion having a second priority for transmission lower than the first priority. The first device determines, from the set of CSI reports, a CSI report of which the second information is to be partially transmitted, determines a total number of non-zero coefficients across layers of the channel in the first portion of the determined CSI report; determines a payload size of the first portion of the determined CSI report based on the determined total number of non-zero coefficients in the first portion; and transmits, to the second device, the first portion of the determined CSI report based on the payload size. The second device receives a data stream about the set of CSI reports from the first device, and determines the first portion from the data stream in a similar way. As such, a payload size of a priority level of CSI can be conveniently determined by the allocated resources without need of additional UCI part 1 design and the CSI can be successfully transmitted and determined.
