Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for generating a plurality of demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) sequences, a communication terminal device using same, and a base station using same, which generate N DM-RS sequences by adding additional parameters having N (≧2) values or N numbers of cases after designing a basic DM-RS sequence for one or more layers. Thereby, each terminal can easily obtain layer information assigned thereto except for basic precoder information from DM-RS and can further predict interference and the like among terminals by obtaining layer information of other terminals.

Claims (11)

1. A communication user equipment (UE) that obtains precoder information from a reference signal (RS) transmitted from a base station (BS), the UE performing:

receiving of a UE-specific DM-RS sequence, which is transmitted after being generated by additionally allocating a UE-specific orthogonal code sequence to a resource element (RE) to which a basic DM-RS sequence for each layer is allocated;

generating of the basic DM-RS sequence for each layer by correlating the received UE-specific DM-RS sequence and a layer-specific Walsh code sequence; and

obtaining of a first allocation layer allocated to the UE and precoder information used in the first allocation layer, by correlating the generated basic DM-RS sequence for each layer and a UE-specific orthogonal code sequence allocated to the UE.

2. The UE as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the UE further performs:

additionally obtaining a second allocation layer allocated to another UE and second precoder information used in the second allocation layer through use of a UE-specific orthogonal code sequence allocated to the other UE.

3. A method of obtaining precoder information from a reference signal (RS) transmitted from a base station (BS), the method comprising the steps of:

receiving a UE-specific DM-RS sequence that is transmitted after being generated by additionally adding a UE-specific orthogonal code sequence to a resource element (RE) to which a basic DM-RS sequence for each layer is allocated;

generating the basic DM-RS sequence for each layer by correlating the received UE-specific DM-RS sequence and a layer-specific Walsh code sequence; and

obtaining a first allocation layer allocated to a User Equipment (UE) and first precoder information used in the allocated layer, by correlating the DM-RS sequence for each layer and an allocated UE-specific orthogonal code sequence.

4. The method as claimed in claim 3 , further comprising additionally obtaining a second allocation layer allocated to another UE and second precoder information used in the second allocation layer through use of a UE-specific orthogonal code sequence allocated to the other UE.
