Abstract

There is disclosed a method of operating a receiving radio node in a wireless communication network. The method includes receiving first signaling and second signaling, wherein the first signaling includes first Phase Tracking Reference Signaling, PT-RS, on a first set of subcarriers, and the second signaling includes second PT-RS on a second set of subcarriers, wherein the first set of subcarriers is non-overlapping with the second set of subcarriers, wherein receiving the first signaling is based on estimating a phase noise for the first signaling based on the first PT-RS and the second PT-RS. The disclosure also pertains to related devices and methods.

Claims (21)

1. A method of operating a receiving radio node in a wireless communication network, the method comprising:

receiving first signaling and second signaling, the first signaling comprising first Phase Tracking Reference Signaling, PT-RS, on a first set of subcarriers, and the second signaling comprising second PT-RS on a second set of subcarriers, the first set of subcarriers being non-overlapping with the second set of subcarriers, receiving the first signaling being based on estimating a phase noise for the first signaling, estimating the phase noise including estimating a residual spatial interference on the second set of subcarriers as additional white noise.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first signaling is muted on the second set of subcarrier and the second signaling is muted on the first set of subcarriers.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein estimating a phase noise is at least one of represented by and comprises performing an Inter Carrier Interference, ICI, correction.

4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein estimating a phase noise is at least one of represented by and comprises determining a de-ICI filter.

5. The method according to claim 2 , wherein for estimating the phase noise, a residual spatial interference on the second set of subcarriers is assumed to be zero.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein estimating a phase noise is at least one of represented by and comprises performing an Inter Carrier Interference, ICI, correction.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein estimating a phase noise is at least one of represented by and comprises determining a de-ICI filter.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein for estimating the phase noise, a residual spatial interference on the second set of subcarriers is assumed to be zero.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein for estimating the phase noise, a residual spatial interference at least one of on the second set of subcarriers and for the second PTRS is computed.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the computing is performed to determine de-ICI filter estimates.

11. A receiving radio node for a wireless communication network, the receiving radio node being configured to:
