Abstract

The present application discloses a method in which a base station transmits a reference signal sequence in a wireless communication system. In detail, the method comprises the steps of: generating a pseudo-random sequence using a first m-sequence and a second m-sequence; generating the reference signal sequence using the pseudo-random sequence; and transmitting the reference signal to a mobile station via antenna ports different from one another. The second m-sequence has an initial value containing parameters for discriminating reference signal sequences among users.

Claims (188)

1. A method for transmitting a UE (User Equipment) specific reference signal sequence at a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

generating the UE specific reference signal sequence based on a pseudo-random sequence (c(n)); and

transmitting the UE specific reference signal sequence to a UE,

wherein the pseudo-random sequence is defined by the following equation 1,

c ( n )=( x 1 ( n+N C )+ x 2 ( n+N C ))mod2

x 1 ( n +31)=( x 1 ( n+ 3)+ x 1 ( n ))mod2

x 2 ( n +31)=( x 2 ( n+ 3)+ x 2 ( n+ 2)+ x 2 ( n +1) +x 2 ( n ))mod2, where N c =1600  <equation 1>

and a first m-sequence (x 1 (n)) is initialized with x 1 (0)=1, x 1 (n)=0, n=1, 2, . . . , 30,

wherein a second m-sequence (x 2 (n))is initialized with k+(└n s /2┘+1)·(2N ID cell +1)·2 16 where n s is a slot number within a radio frame, N ID cell is a cell identity, and k is a scrambling identity.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the UE specific reference signal sequence (r(m)) is defined by the following equation 2,

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the scrambling identity (k) is transmitted to the UE through a PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control CHannel).

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein information on the scrambling identity (k) is included in a DCI (Downlink Control Information) format 2B associated with a PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared CHannel).

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the scrambling identity (k) is one or zero.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the UE specific reference signal sequence is transmitted via two antenna ports.

7. A base station in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a processor for generating a UE (User Equipment) specific reference signal sequence based on a pseudo-random sequence (c(n)) and

a transmitting module for transmitting the UE specific reference signal sequence to a UE,

wherein the pseudo-random sequence is defined by the following equation 1,

x 1 ( n +31)=( x 1 ( n+ 3)+ x 1 ( n ))mod2

x 2 ( n +31)=( x 2 ( n+ 3)+ x 2 ( n+ 2)+ x 2 ( n +1) +x 2 ( n ))mod2, where N c =1600  <equation 1>

and a first m-sequence (x 1 (n)) is initialized with x 1 (0)=1, x 1 (n)=0, n=1, 2, . . . , 30,

wherein a second m-sequence (x 2 (n) initialized with k+(└n s /2┘+1)·(2N ID cell +1)·2 16 where n s is a slot number within a radio frame, N ID cell is a cell identity, and k is a scrambling identity.
