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 (48)

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

transmitting the reference signal, the reference signal being generated based on a cyclic shift and a base sequence x u (n),

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

x u ( n )= e jp(n)π/4 , and

wherein a length of the base sequence x u (n) is one of 12 or 24,

wherein, if the length of the base sequence x u (n) is 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

−1 3 1 3 1 −1 −1 3 −3 −1 −3 −1

−1 −3 1 1 1 1 3 1 −1 1 −3 −1

−1 3 −3 3 −1 3 3 −3 3 3 −1 −1,

and

wherein, if the length of the base sequence x u (n) is 24, at least one of the sets of values provided in the below table is used as the set of values for the phase parameter p(n):

p(0), . . . , p(23)

−1 −3 3 −1 −1 −1 −1 1 1 −3 3 1 3 3 1 −1 1 −3 1 −3 1 1 −3 −1

−1 −3 3 −3 −3 −3 −1 −1 −3 −1 −3 3 1 3 −3 −1 3 −1 1 −1 3 −3 1 −1

−1 −1 1 −3 1 3 −3 1 −1 −3 −1 3 1 3 1 −1 −3 −3 −1 −1 −3 −3 −3 −1

−1 −3 1 1 3 −3 1 1 −3 −1 −1 1 3 1 3 1 −1 3 1 1 −3 −1 −3 −1

−1 −3 −1 −1 1 −3 −1 −1 1 −1 −3 1 1 −3 1 −3 −3 3 1 1 −1 3 −1 −1.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reference signal is a reference signal for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reference signal is a reference signal for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reference signal is a sounding reference signal (SRS).

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising mapping the reference signal to corresponding resource elements.

6. A user equipment configured to transmit a reference signal in a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising:

an antenna;

a communications module operatively connected to the antenna; and

a processor connected to the communications module, and configured to: transmit the reference signal, the reference signal being generated based on a cyclic shift and a base sequence x u (n),

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

x u ( n )= e jp(n)π/4 , and

wherein a length of the base sequence x u (n) is one of 12 or 24,

wherein, if the length of the base sequence x u (n) is 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

−1 3 1 3 1 −1 −1 3 −3 −1 −3 −1

−1 −3 1 1 1 1 3 1 −1 1 −3 −1

−1 3 −3 3 −1 3 3 −3 3 3 −1 −1,

 and

wherein, if the length of the base sequence x u (n) is 24, at least one of the sets of values provided in the below table is used as the set of values for the phase parameter p(n):

p(0), . . . , p(23)

−1 −3 3 −1 −1 −1 −1 1 1 −3 3 1 3 3 1 −1 1 −3 1 −3 1 1 −3 −1

−1 −3 3 −3 −3 −3 −1 −1 −3 −1 −3 3 1 3 −3 −1 3 −1 1 −1 3 −3 1 −1

−1 −1 1 −3 1 3 −3 1 −1 −3 −1 3 1 3 1 −1 −3 −3 −1 −1 −3 −3 −3 −1

−1 −3 −1 −1 1 −3 −1 −1 1 −1 −3 1 1 −3 1 −3 −3 3 1 1 −1 3 −1 −1.

7. The user equipment of claim 6 , wherein the reference signal is a reference signal for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH).

8. The user equipment of claim 6 , wherein the reference signal is a reference signal for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

9. The user equipment of claim 6 , wherein the reference signal is a sounding reference signal (SRS).

10. The user equipment of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to map the reference signal to corresponding resource elements.
