Abstract

Signal transmitting/receiving electronic devices or terminals in the present disclosure are configured to conduct per-beam signal synchronization in massive MIMO communication with a signal receiving/transmitting device or base station. During the massive MIMO communication, the devices or terminals are configured to transmit/receive signals via a set of beams to or from the signal receiving/transmitting device or base station. For beam domain signal of each individual beam of the plurality beams, the devices or terminals are configured to determine target time adjustments based on time shifts of the beam domain signals induced by multipath effect and target frequency adjustments based on frequency offsets of the beam domain signals induced by the Doppler effect; adjust time independent variables of the beam domain signals by the time adjustments; and adjust frequency independent variables of the beam domain signals by the frequency adjustments. Further, per-beam synchronized BDMA massive MIMO transmission method is disclosed, which provides a solution to efficient and reliable wireless communications with high mobility and/or high carrier frequency.
