Aspects of this disclosure relate to assigning scrambling identifiers to user equipments. A first scrambling identifier can be assigned to each user equipment of a group, such that the first scrambling identifier is the same for each of the user equipments of the group. A second scrambling identifier can be assigned to each of the user equipments of the group, such that the second scrambling identifier is different for each of the user equipments of the group. A selected scrambling identifier can be used to generate a reference signal sequence.

Scrambling identifiers for wireless communication systems

Aspects of this disclosure relate transmitting and/or receiving reference symbols. A first reference symbol includes a symbol and a cyclically shifted portion of the symbol, where the cyclically shifted portion has cyclic shift length. A second reference symbol includes a cyclically shifted version of the first reference symbol that is cyclically shifted relative to the first reference symbol by the cyclic shift length. The first and second reference symbols are transmitted consecutively from at least one antenna.

Reference signal for wireless communication systems

Aspects of this disclosure relate receiving a reference symbol from at least one antenna. The reference symbol includes a portion of a first transmitted reference symbol and a portion of a second transmitted reference symbol. The first transmitted reference symbol includes a symbol and a cyclically shifted portion of the symbol having a cyclic shift length. The second transmitted reference symbol includes a cyclically shifted version of the first transmitted reference symbol that is cyclically shifted relative to the first transmitted reference symbol by the cyclic shift length. The reference symbol is processed. In certain embodiments, processing the reference symbol can account for (i) a frame offset between uplink symbols and downlink symbols and (ii) another timing offset between downlink transmission and uplink reception.
