Abstract

There is disclosed a transmitting node for a Radio Access Network, the transmitting node being adapted for transmitting, based on one or more transmission parameters, of reference signaling, and/or signaling including reference signaling, wherein the reference signaling may comprise phase tracking reference signaling and wherein the one or more transmission parameters comprise a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS).

Claims (25)

1. A transmitting node configured for use in a Radio Access Network, the transmitting node comprising:

control circuitry; and

radio circuitry;

wherein the control circuitry and radio circuitry are configured to:

receive Downlink Control Information (DCI), wherein the DCI comprises a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) indication and a scheduled bandwidth indication on which a time-frequency distribution of Phase Tracking Reference Signaling (PT-RS) is based; and

transmit PT-RS according to the time-frequency distribution of PT-RS.

2. The transmitting node of claim 1 , wherein density of the transmitted PT-RS in frequency domain is dependent on the scheduled bandwidth.

3. The transmitting node of claim 1 , wherein the MCS indication indicates an MCS to be selected from a set of MCS and used by the transmitting node, and the scheduled bandwidth representing a plurality of subcarriers be used for Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) transmission.

4. The transmitting node of claim 3 , wherein the set of MCS comprises a first subset of which PT-RS may use and a second subset of which PT-RS may not use.

5. A method for operating a transmitting node in a Radio Access Network, the method comprising:

receiving Downlink Control Information (DCI), wherein the DCI comprises a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) indication and a scheduled bandwidth indication on which a time-frequency distribution of Phase Tracking Reference Signaling (PT-RS) is based; and

transmitting PT-RS according to the time-frequency distribution of PT-RS.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein a density of the transmitted PT-RS in frequency domain is dependent on the scheduled bandwidth.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the MCS indication indicates an MCS to be selected from a set of MCS and used by the transmitting node, and the scheduled bandwidth representing a plurality of subcarriers to be used for Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) transmission.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the set of MCS comprises a first subset by which PT-RS may use, and a second subset by which PT-RS may not use.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the time-frequency distribution comprises a number of subcarriers of the plurality of subcarriers of the scheduled bandwidth, and placement of the number of subcarriers among the plurality of subcarriers is dependent on the scheduled bandwidth.

10. The method of claim 5 , wherein the time-frequency resource distribution represents a time domain distribution covering a plurality of symbols, wherein the PT-RS is not used on every symbol.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising, stored thereupon, code executable by control circuitry of a transmitting node, the code being configured to cause the control circuitry to control the transmitting node to:

receive Downlink Control Information (DCI) comprising a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) indication and a scheduled bandwidth indication on which a time-frequency distribution of Phase Tracking Reference Signaling (PT-RS) is based; and

transmit PT-RS according to the time-frequency distribution of PT-RS.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein a density of the transmitted PT-RS in frequency domain is dependent on the scheduled bandwidth.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the MCS indication indicates an MCS to be selected from a set of MCS and used by the transmitting node, and the scheduled bandwidth representing a plurality of subcarriers be used for PUSCH transmission.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 13 , wherein the set of MCS comprises a first subset of which PT-RS may use, and a second subset of which PT-RS may not use.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 13 , the time-frequency distribution comprises a number of subcarriers of the plurality of subcarriers of the scheduled bandwidth, and placement of the number of subcarriers among the plurality of subcarriers.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 11 , wherein the time-frequency resource distribution represents a time domain distribution covering a plurality of symbols, wherein the PT-RS is not used on every symbol.
