According to an aspect, a wireless node selects a set of reference signal antenna ports for use in transmitting data to other wireless nodes in a given transmit time interval, from a plurality of sets of reference signal antenna ports that are available for use and that include reference signal antenna ports having different reference signal densities in the frequency and/or time dimension. The wireless node sends a message to a second wireless node indicating a reference signal assignment and including an indication of the selected set of reference signal antenna ports.

Methods for adapting density of demodulation reference signals

Radio network node, wireless device, and related methods are described. According to one aspect, when a first radio access technology and a second radio access technology are coexisting on the same carrier, the symbol location of the reference signals of the first radio access technology may be moved or changed when the reference signals of the first radio access technology collide with the reference signals of the second radio access technology.

Coexistence of reference signals in wireless communication networks

Methods and apparatus in a fifth-generation wireless communications, including an example method, in a wireless device, that includes receiving a downlink signal comprising an uplink access configuration index, using the uplink access configuration index to identify an uplink access configuration from among a predetermined plurality of uplink access configurations, and transmitting to the wireless communications network according to the identified uplink access configuration. The example method further includes, in the same wireless device, receiving, in a first subframe, a first Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) transmission formatted according to a first numerology and receiving, in a second subframe, a second OFDM transmission formatted according to a second numerology, the second numerology differing from the first numerology. Variants of this method, corresponding apparatuses, and corresponding network-side methods and apparatuses are also disclosed.

Network architecture, methods, and devices for a wireless communications network

A method, network node and wireless device in a wireless communication system for one of transmitting and receiving a phase-tracking reference signal, PT-RS. The method includes obtaining information about a position in a time domain of a scheduled first demodulation reference signal, DM-RS, in a slot, and one of transmitting and receiving the PT-RS within the slot, the position of the PT-RS depending on the position in the time domain of the scheduled first DM-RS.

Joint resource map design of DM-RS and PT-RS

The present disclosure pertains to a terminal for a Radio Access Network, the terminal being adapted for transmission based on a first frequency division multiple access (FDMA) technology and for transmission based on a second frequency division multiple access technology. The terminal is adapted for transmitting reference signaling having a comb structure for transmission based on either the first FDMA technology or the second FDMA technology. The disclosure also pertains to related devices and methods.

Common reference signal design for OFDM and DFTS-OFDM

A user equipment (UE) is configured to enhance Demodulation Reference Signals (DM-RS) in order to reduce the Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) to the same level as for data symbols. To accomplish this function, the UE obtains a first initialization value that is calculated based on one of a first parameter (e.g., cell ID) and a second parameter and a scrambling code ID. The UE then maps the first initialization value to either a first Code Division Multiplexing (CDM) group or a second CDM group based on the scrambling code ID. The mapping associates the first initialization value with the first or second CDM group such that the initialization value is used when generating a demodulation sequence for that CDM group.

Method for peak to average power reduction of DM-RS signals

A user equipment () is provided for use in a cellular network. The user equipment includes a transceiver (), a processor (), and a memory (). The user equipment () is configured to determine, for a data transmission, a mapping form a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) to a PNT-RS. A DMRS resulting signal is generated from a subset of DMRS for a first resource element in a subcarrier. The DMRS resulting signal is copied from the first resource element to a second resource element assigned to the PNT-RS in the subcarrier. The data transmission is transmitted using the DMRS resulting signal and the PNT-RS.

Systems and methods for phase noise tracking reference signal sequence generation using demodulation reference signals

There is disclosed a transmitting node for a Radio Access Network, the transmitting node being adapted for transmitting, based on one or more transmission parameters, of reference signaling, and/or signaling including reference signaling, wherein the reference signaling may comprise phase tracking reference signaling and wherein the one or more transmission parameters comprise a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS).

PT-RS configuration depending on scheduling parameters

Methods and apparatus in a fifth-generation wireless communications network, including an example method, in a wireless device, that includes determining a reporting quality threshold for a parameter related to channel state information (CSI); performing a measurement for each of a plurality of beams from a first predetermined set of beams for evaluation; evaluating the measurement for each of the plurality of beams against the reporting quality threshold; discontinuing the performing and evaluating of measurements in response to determining that the reporting quality threshold is met for one of the beams, such that one or more beams in the first predetermined set of beams are not measured and evaluated; and reporting, to the wireless communications network, CSI for the one of the beams.

The wireless device () operating in a communications system, wherein the communications system comprises radio spectrum shared by a plurality of radio access technologies. The method comprising obtaining () a configuration for a demodulation reference signal, DMRS, wherein the DMRS comprises a pattern using common resource elements of at least two of the plurality of radio access technologies and transmitting or receiving () a data transmission based on the obtained demodulation reference signal. A method performed by a network node () is provided. The method comprises the network node determining () a configuration for a demodulation reference signal, DMRS, wherein the DMRS comprises a pattern using common resource elements of at least two of the plurality of radio access technologies and receiving or transmitting () a data transmission based on the determined configuration for the demodulation reference signal.
