View Patent ↗A method of the present invention for designing a reference signal is a method for designing a reference signal, including: setting a first set of matrices by combining a plurality of first matrices each including a plurality of sequences; dividing the first set of matrices into a plurality of subsets each including at least one first matrix, and selecting at least one sequence from each of the plurality of subsets; and combining the selected sequences so as to generate a second matrix.
1. A method for generating a reference signal, the method being performed by a processor, the method comprising:
setting a first set of matrices by combining a plurality of first matrices each including a plurality of sequences;
dividing the first set of matrices into a plurality of subsets each including at least one first matrix;
selecting at least one sequence from each of the plurality of subsets;
combining the selected sequences so as to generate a second matrix; and
generating the reference signal based on the second matrix,
wherein said setting, said dividing, said selecting, said combining, and said generating is performed by said processor.
2. The method as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the sequences that constitute the second matrix are selected in such a manner as to minify a cross-correlation of the sequences.
3. The method as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the reference signal is composed of the second matrix.
4. A method for generating a reference signal by generating, from a first set of matrices including a plurality of first matrices each including a plurality of sequences, a second matrix including less number of sequences than the number of the sequences included in the first set of matrices, wherein the method is performed by a processor, the method comprising:
dividing the first set of matrices into a plurality of subsets each including at least one first matrix;
selecting at least one sequence from each of the plurality of subsets;
combining the selected sequences so as to generate a second matrix in which a cross-correlation of a plurality of sequences is smaller than a predetermined value; and
generating the reference signal based on the second matrix,
wherein said setting, said dividing, said selecting, said combining, and said generating is performed by said processor.
