A method and apparatus of transmitting a reference signal in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes generating a precoded reference signal or a non-precoded reference signal in accordance with a rank, and transmitting the generated reference signal. Uplink transmission using multiple transmit antennas is supported through reference signal design and related control signaling.

Method and apparatus of transmitting reference signal for uplink transmission

A method of sizing bundled resource blocks (RBs) having at least one user equipment (UE)-specific demodulation reference signal in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system is disclosed. According to one embodiment, the method includes: receiving configuration information related to at least one UE-specific demodulation reference signal; receiving a plurality of resource blocks (RBs) from a network, wherein the plurality of resource blocks comprises the at least one UE-specific demodulation reference signal, at least one cell-specific demodulation reference signal or data, wherein a number of the plurality of RBs is dependent on a size of a system bandwidth, the size of the system bandwidth corresponding to one of four size ranges; and processing at least one of the received plurality of RBs by bundling the plurality of RBs into RB bundles, wherein the size of each RB bundle is based on the one of the four size ranges.

Method of resource block (RB) bundling

A method for generating a broadcast signal includes forming an information block for transmission, the information block including a first field comprising a plurality of bits configured to impart information to a first group of user equipment (UEs) regarding a first evolved NodeB (eNodeB) transmit antenna configuration. The method further includes generating error detection bits based upon the information block and scrambling the error detection bits using a mask according to a second eNodeB transmit antenna configuration, such that the mask is configured to impart information to a second group of UEs regarding the second eNodeB transmit antenna configuration. The method also includes generating the broadcast signal having the information block and the scrambled error detection bits, and transmitting the generated broadcast signal via a packet broadcast control channel.
