Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and a device for a terminal performing phase tracking in a wireless communication system. According to the present invention, a method and a device may be provided, the method comprising: receiving, from a base station, configuration information associated with a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS); and on the basis of the configuration information, receiving a first demodulation reference signal (DMRS) and the PTRS, wherein the PTRS is mapped to at least one OFDM symbol according to a particular pattern and at a predetermined symbol interval, and phase tracking for data demodulation is performed on the basis of at least one of the first DMRS or the PTRS.

Claims (35)

1. A method of performing phase tracking by a user equipment in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a first demodulation reference signal (DMRS) and a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) from a base station,

wherein the phase tracking reference signal is mapped to at least one OFDM symbol at constant symbol intervals on a time axis according to a specific pattern; and

performing the phase tracking for demodulation of data based on at least one of the first demodulation reference signal or the phase tracking reference signal,

wherein the PTRS is mapped to symbols between the first OFDM symbol and the second OFDM symbols with reference to the first OFDM symbol and mapped to symbols after the second OFDM symbol with reference to the second OFDM symbol, when a first OFDM symbol with the first DMRS mapped thereto is positioned ahead of a second OFDM symbol with a second DMRS mapped thereto on the time axis.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the phase tracking reference signal is mapped based on first priority OFDM symbol among a plurality of OFDM symbols in which the data is transmitted.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein when the first demodulation reference signal is mapped to two OFDM symbols, the phase tracking reference signal is mapped based on one of the two OFDM symbols.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein when a second demodulation reference signal is mapped to an OFDM symbol, the phase tracking reference signal is mapped to an OFDM symbol except an OFDM symbol to which the second demodulation reference signal has been mapped among the at least one OFDM symbol.

5. The method of claim 4 ,

wherein when the second demodulation reference signal is mapped to a specific number of OFDM symbols or less, the phase tracking reference signal is mapped to the at least one OFDM symbol.

6. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein when a first OFDM symbol to which the data is mapped is positioned ahead of a second OFDM symbol to which the first demodulation reference signal is mapped, the phase tracking reference signal is mapped to an OFDM symbol after the second OFDM symbol among the at least one OFDM symbol.

7. A user equipment performing phase tracking in a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising:

a communication unit transmitting and receiving radio signals to and from an outside; and

a processor functionally coupled to the communication unit,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a first demodulation reference signal (DMRS) and a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) from a base station,

wherein the phase tracking reference signal is mapped to at least one OFDM symbol at constant symbol intervals based on a specific pattern; and

perform the phase tracking for demodulation of data based on at least one of the first demodulation reference signal or the phase tracking reference signal,

wherein the PTRS is mapped to symbols between the first OFDM symbol and the second OFDM symbols with reference to the first OFDM symbol and mapped to symbols after the second OFDM symbol with reference to the second OFDM symbol, when a first OFDM symbol with the first DMRS mapped thereto is positioned ahead of a second OFDM symbol with a second DMRS mapped thereto on the time axis.

8. The user equipment of claim 7 ,

wherein the phase tracking reference signal is mapped based on first priority OFDM symbol among a plurality of OFDM symbols in which the data is transmitted.

9. The user equipment of claim 7 ,

wherein when the first demodulation reference signal is mapped to two OFDM symbols, the phase tracking reference signal is mapped based on one of the two OFDM symbols.

10. The user equipment of claim 7 ,

wherein when a second demodulation reference signal is mapped to an OFDM symbol, the phase tracking reference signal is mapped to an OFDM symbol except an OFDM symbol to which the second demodulation reference signal has been mapped among the at least one OFDM symbol.

11. The user equipment of claim 10 ,

wherein when the second demodulation reference signal is mapped to a specific number of OFDM symbols or less, the phase tracking reference signal is mapped to the at least one OFDM symbol.

12. The user equipment of claim 7 ,

wherein when a first OFDM symbol to which the data is mapped is positioned ahead of a second symbol to which the first demodulation reference signal is mapped, the phase tracking reference signal is mapped based on the first OFDM symbol.

13. The user equipment of claim 7 ,

wherein when a first OFDM symbol to which the data is mapped is positioned ahead of a second OFDM symbol to which the first demodulation reference signal is mapped, the phase tracking reference signal is mapped to an OFDM symbol after the second OFDM symbol among the at least one OFDM symbol.
