Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure support demodulation reference signal (DMRS) enhancement for higher order multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) communications. An example method generally includes determining a plurality of ports of a multi-dimensional array of transmit antennas and a number of spatial multiplexed layers for transmission to a plurality of user equipments (UEs), configuring a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) pattern by multiplexing the layers or the ports in the DMRS pattern, using an orthogonal cover code (OCC) and one or more code division multiplexing (CDM) groups, and transmitting DMRS symbols based on the configured DMRS pattern using the multiplexed layers and the ports.
