Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a network entity, information associated with a virtual resource block to physical resource block (VRB-to-PRB) mapping for a demodulation reference signal (DMRS). The UE may receive, from the network entity, an indication to apply a frequency domain orthogonal cover code (FD-OCC) to the DMRS for every three resource elements or every six resource elements of the DMRS. The indication may relate to a DMRS configuration type that uses every other resource element within one or more symbols allocated to the DMRS. Numerous other aspects are described.

Claims (41)

1 . An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

one or more memories; and

one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured individually or collectively to:

transmit, to a network entity, information associated with a virtual resource block to physical resource block (VRB-to-PRB) mapping for a demodulation reference signal (DMRS); and

receive, from the network entity, an indication to apply a frequency domain orthogonal cover code (FD-OCC) to the DMRS for every three resource elements of the DMRS or every six resource elements of the DMRS.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the indication indicates to apply the FD-OCC to the DMRS for every three resource elements of the DMRS for a DMRS configuration type that uses every other resource element within one or more symbols allocated to the DMRS.

3 . The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the DMRS configuration type supports six ports for a single symbol DMRS and twelve ports for a two symbol DMRS, wherein the six ports or the twelve ports are included in a code division multiplexing group.

4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the indication indicates to apply the FD-OCC to the DMRS for every six resource elements of the DMRS for a DMRS configuration type that uses every other resource element within one or more symbols allocated to the DMRS.

5 . The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the DMRS configuration type supports twelve ports for a single symbol DMRS and twenty-four ports for a two symbol DMRS.

6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the information indicates that VRB-to-PRB interleaving is enabled, and wherein applying the FD-OCC to the DMRS enables each PRB of a plurality of PRBs associated with the DMRS to be contiguous in a frequency domain.

7 . A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

transmitting, to a network entity, information associated with a virtual resource block to physical resource block (VRB-to-PRB) mapping for a demodulation reference signal (DMRS); and

receiving, from the network entity, an indication to apply a frequency domain orthogonal cover code (FD-OCC) to the DMRS for every three resource elements of the DMRS or every six resource elements of the DMRS.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the indication indicates to apply the FD-OCC to the DMRS for every three resource elements of the DMRS for a DMRS configuration type that uses every other resource element within one or more symbols allocated to the DMRS.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the DMRS configuration type supports six ports for a single symbol DMRS and twelve ports for a two symbol DMRS, wherein the six ports or the twelve ports are included in a code division multiplexing group.

10 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the indication indicates to apply the FD-OCC to the DMRS for every six resource elements of the DMRS for a DMRS configuration type that uses every other resource element within one or more symbols allocated to the DMRS.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the DMRS configuration type supports twelve ports for a single symbol DMRS and twenty-four ports for a two symbol DMRS.

12 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the information indicates that VRB-to-PRB interleaving is enabled, and wherein applying the FD-OCC to the DMRS enables each PRB of a plurality of PRBs associated with the DMRS to be contiguous in a frequency domain.

13 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for wireless communication, the set of instructions comprising:

one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to:

transmit, to a network entity, information associated with a virtual resource block to physical resource block (VRB-to-PRB) mapping for a demodulation reference signal (DMRS); and

receive, from the network entity, an indication to apply a frequency domain orthogonal cover code (FD-OCC) to the DMRS for every three resource elements of the DMRS or every six resource elements of the DMRS.

14 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the indication indicates to apply the FD-OCC to the DMRS for every three resource elements of the DMRS for a DMRS configuration type that uses every other resource element within one or more symbols allocated to the DMRS.

15 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the indication indicates to apply the FD-OCC to the DMRS for every six resource elements of the DMRS for a DMRS configuration type that uses every other resource element within one or more symbols allocated to the DMRS.

16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the DMRS configuration type supports six ports for a single symbol DMRS and twelve ports for a two symbol DMRS, wherein the six ports or the twelve ports are included in a code division multiplexing group.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the DMRS configuration type supports twelve ports for a single symbol DMRS and twenty-four ports for a two symbol DMRS.

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the information indicates that VRB-to-PRB interleaving is enabled, and wherein applying the FD-OCC to the DMRS enables each PRB of a plurality of PRBs associated with the DMRS to be contiguous in a frequency domain.

19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the indication is received from the network entity in downlink control information.

20 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the information associated with the VRB-to-PRB mapping is transmitted to the network entity in uplink control information.

21 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the DMRS is associated with a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

22 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the FD-OCC is applied to the DMRS for a code division multiplexing group.

23 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the indication to apply the FD-OCC is based at least in part on a capability reported by the UE.
