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 (43)

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

generating a plurality of reference signal sequences by cyclically shifting a base sequence x u (n);

mapping each of the plurality of reference signal sequences to a corresponding Single Carrier-Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) symbol among a plurality of SC-FDMA symbols in a subframe, the subframe including the plurality of SC-FDMA symbols in time domain and a plurality of resource blocks in frequency domain, each resource block including N subcarriers; and

transmitting the mapped reference signal sequences in the subframe,

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)

−1 3 −1 1 1 −3 −3 −1 −3 −3 3 −1
