Method and apparatus for reference signal configuration
Methods and an apparatus for reference signal (RS) configuration. A method implemented in a network device is provided in which a plurality of reference signal (RS) ports to be used for RS transmission are determined based on at least one of different RS configuration patterns, different port multiplexing types and different number of symbols to be used for RS transmission. Each of the plurality of RS ports is indexed with a respective port index and at least two of the plurality of RS ports share a same port index. A plurality of RS configurations are determined at least based on the plurality of RS ports. In addition, at least one RS configuration from the plurality of RS configurations is allocated for a terminal device served by the network device. The at least one RS configuration indicates at least one RS port to be used for RS transmission.
