Method of transmitting reference signal for channel state change measurement and apparatus therefor
Disclosed herein is a method of transmitting a reference signal for channel state change measurement and an apparatus therefor. The method includes receiving, from a transmitter, a first type reference signal of a first resource mapping pattern and a second type reference signal of a second resource mapping pattern. The receiver receives the first type reference signal under an assumption that the first type reference signal is associated with the second type reference signal, when a specific condition is satisfied.
1. A method for receiving reference signals by a receiver in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a transmitter, resource information; and
receiving, from the transmitter, a first type reference signal and a second type reference signal based on the resource information,
wherein the resource information includes information on a first resource element (RE) group for the second type reference signal in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol, and the information informs the UE whether or not a second RE group in the OFDM symbol is used for receiving data,
wherein each of the first RE group and the second RE group includes REs having a predetermined interval in the OFDM symbol,
wherein the second type reference signal is received in the first RE group and the data is received or not in the second RE group based on the resource information,
wherein sequence elements of the first type reference signal are determined among sequence elements of the second type reference signal at equal element intervals, and
wherein the first type reference signal is received every N OFDM symbols, wherein N is greater than 1.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first type reference signal is a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS), and
wherein the second type reference signal is one of a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS), a common reference signal (CRS) and a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS).
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first type reference signal and the second type reference signal are generated based on a same type of reference signal sequences.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first type reference signal is received when an indication indicating the first type reference signal being used is received.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second type reference signal is generated based on a cyclic prefix-OFDM (CP-OFDM) method.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the sequence elements of the first reference signal are the sequence elements of the second reference signal mapped to a same symbol.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a first sequence element of the first reference signal is determined as sequence element of the second reference signal related to an offset.
8. An apparatus for receiving a reference signal in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:
a radio frequency (RF) module configured to transmit and receive an RF signal to or from a transmitter; and
a processor connected to the RF module,
wherein the processor configured to:
receive, from the transmitter, resource information; and
receive, from the transmitter, a first type reference signal and a second type reference signal based on the resource information,
wherein the resource information includes information on a first resource (RE) element group for the second type reference signal in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol, and the information informs the UE whether or not a second RE group in the OFDM symbol is used for receiving data,
wherein each of the first RE group and the second RE group includes REs having a predetermined interval in the OFDM symbol,
wherein the second type reference signal is received in the first RE group and the data is received or not in the second RE group based on the resource information,
wherein sequence elements of the first type reference signal are determined among sequence elements of the second type reference signal at equal element intervals, and
wherein the first type reference signal is received every N OFDM symbols, wherein N is greater than 1.
9. The apparatus according to claim 8 ,
wherein the first type reference signal is a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS), and
wherein the second type reference signal is one of a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS), a common reference signal (CRS) and a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS).
10. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the first type reference signal and the second type reference signal are generated based on a same type of reference signal sequences.
11. The apparatus according to claim 8 ,
wherein the first type reference signal is received, when the RF module receives an indication indicating the first type reference signal being used.
12. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the sequence elements of the first reference signal are the sequence elements of the second reference signal mapped to a same symbol.
13. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein a first sequence element of the first reference signal is determined as sequence element of the second reference signal related to an offset.
14. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the second type reference signal is generated based on a cyclic prefix-OFDM (CP-OFDM) method.
