A method of providing a way to non-orthogonally multiplex aerial UEs with terrestrial UEs in a network with terrestrial gNBs is presented. Multiple gNBs from a group of interconnected gNBs are composed into coordinated sets. Using aerial UEs CSI information, one gNB of a coordinated set is selected for decoding private RSMA data streams of the aerial UE, while all gNBs of the set decode the public data stream. Likewise, all gNBs decode the UL transmissions from the attached terrestrial UEs. Coordinated resource allocation for optimised RSMA-based transmissions from aerial UEs mitigates the interference at the terrestrial gNBs transmitting in the same RB as the aerial UEs.

METHOD OF MODULATING AND DEMODULATING, RESPECTIVELY, WIRELESS SIGNALS FOR HIGH MOBILITY COMMUNICATIONS, AND APPARATUS IMPLEMENTING THE METHODS
A signal for wireless transmission is modulated by converting a serial sequence of symbols in the time domain into parallel symbol streams, transforming the parallel symbol streams into the frequency domain, mapping the resulting frequency domain signals onto subcarriers, converting the mapped signals into the time domain and converting the parallel time-domain signals into a serial signal. The serial signal is subjected to chirping and is transmitted to a receiver after adding a cyclic prefix (CP). The receiver removes the CP from the signal and, after de-chirping the prefix-less signal, converts the signal into parallel signals. The parallel signals are converted into the frequency domain for channel estimation, equalisation, and subcarrier mapping of detected symbols. The mapped symbols are transformed into the time domain before converting them into a serial stream of symbols.
