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 (152)

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

executing, by a processor of a user equipment, instructions stored on non-transitory media which when executed perform the acts of:

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 to form the reference signal, the subframe including the plurality of SC-FDMA symbols in a time domain and two resource blocks in a frequency domain, the resource block including 12 subcarriers; and

transmitting the reference signal,

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

x u ( n )= e jp(n)π/4 , and

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):
