Abstract

A method of generating a reference signal includes acquiring a base sequence and acquiring a reference signal sequence with a length N from the base sequence. Good PAPR/CM characteristics of the reference signal can be kept to enhance performance of data demodulation or uplink scheduling.

Claims (371)

1. A method for transmitting a reference signal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

wherein the base sequence x u (n) is expressed by

x u ( n )= e jp(n)π/4 , and

if N=12, at least one of the sets of values provided in the below table is used as a set of values for the phase parameter p(n):

p(0), . . . , p(11)
