Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for transmitting a reference signal and a device therefor in a wireless communication system. In particular, the method maps and transmits a DMRS signal to at least one OFDM symbol in a resource region for uplink data, and in the at least one OFDM symbol, a resource element to which the DMRS signal has not been mapped cannot be used for the uplink data.

Claims (42)

1. A method of operating by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system that includes a base station (BS), the method comprising:

receiving, by the UE from the BS, information related to a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) resource of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol,

wherein the received information informs the UE whether or not a first resource element group of the DMRS resource of the OFDM symbol is to be used for transmitting data to the BS;

transmitting, by the UE to the BS, a DMRS via a second resource element group of the DMRS resource of the OFDM symbol,

wherein the first resource element group of the OFDM symbol is different than the second resource element group of the OFDM symbol, and

wherein, based on the received information, the transmitting the DMRS comprises transmitting data in the first resource element group or not transmitting data in the first resource element group.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the received information further informs the UE of the second resource element group of the DMRS resource that is to be used for transmitting the DMRS to the BS.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the received information relates to DMRS transmissions via cyclic prefix-OFDM (CP-OFDM).

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first and second resource element groups are interlaced within the DMRS resource.

5. A user equipment (UE) for operating in a wireless communication system that includes a base station (BS), the UE comprising:

a memory;

a transceiver; and

a processor operatively connected to the memory and transceiver, the processor for:

receiving, by the UE from the BS, information related to a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) resource of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol,

wherein the received information informs the UE whether or not a first resource element group of the DMRS resource of the OFDM symbol is to be used for transmitting data to the BS;

transmitting, by the UE to the BS, a DMRS via a second resource element group of the DMRS resource of the OFDM symbol,

wherein the first resource element group of the OFDM symbol is different than the second resource element group of the OFDM symbol, and

wherein, based on the received information, the transmitting the DMRS comprises transmitting data in the first resource element group or not transmitting data in the first resource element group.

6. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the received information further informs the UE of the second resource element group of the DMRS resource that is to be used for transmitting the DMRS to the BS.

7. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the received information relates to DMRS transmissions via cyclic prefix-OFDM (CP-OFDM).

8. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the first and second resource element groups are interlaced within the DMRS resource.

9. A method of operating by a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system that includes a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

transmitting, by the BS to the UE, information related to a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) resource of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol,

wherein the transmitted information informs the UE whether or not a first resource element group of the DMRS resource of the OFDM symbol is to be used for transmitting data to the BS;

receiving, by the BS from the UE, a DMRS via a second resource element group of the DMRS resource of the OFDM symbol,

wherein the first resource element group of the OFDM symbol is different than the second resource element group of the OFDM symbol, and

wherein, based on the transmitted information, the receiving the DMRS comprises receiving data in the first resource element group or not receiving data in the first resource element group.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the transmitted information further informs the UE of the second resource element group of the DMRS resource that is to be used for transmitting the DMRS to the BS.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the transmitted information relates to DMRS transmissions via cyclic prefix-OFDM (CP-OFDM).

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first and second resource element groups are interlaced within the DMRS resource.

13. A base station (BS) for operating in a wireless communication system that includes a user equipment (UE), the BS comprising:

a memory;

a transceiver; and

a processor operatively connected to the memory and transceiver, the processor for:

transmitting, by the BS to the UE, information related to a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) resource of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol,

wherein the transmitted information informs the UE whether or not a first resource element group of the DMRS resource of the OFDM symbol is to be used for transmitting data to the BS;

receiving, by the BS from the UE, a DMRS via a second resource element group of the DMRS resource of the OFDM symbol,

wherein the first resource element group of the OFDM symbol is different than the second resource element group of the OFDM symbol, and

wherein, based on the transmitted information, the receiving the DMRS comprises receiving data in the first resource element group or not receiving data in the first resource element group.

14. The BS of claim 13 , wherein the transmitted information further informs the UE of the second resource element group of the DMRS resource that is to be used for transmitting the DMRS to the BS.

15. The BS of claim 13 , wherein the transmitted information relates to DMRS transmissions via cyclic prefix-OFDM (CP-OFDM).

16. The BS of claim 13 , wherein the first and second resource element groups are interlaced within the DMRS resource.
