Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for transmitting a reference signal and a device therefor in a wireless communication system. In particular, the method maps and transmits a DMRS signal to at least one OFDM symbol in a resource region for uplink data, and in the at least one OFDM symbol, a resource element to which the DMRS signal has not been mapped cannot be used for the uplink data.

Claims (50)

1. A method of operating by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system that includes a base station (BS), the method comprising:

receiving, by the UE from the BS, information related to a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) resource of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol,

wherein the DMRS resources include a first resource element group and a second resource element group; and

transmitting, by the UE to the BS, a DMRS via a second resource element group of the DMRS resource,

wherein the first resource element group is different than the second resource element group,

wherein when the DMRS is transmitted based on a Discrete Fourier Transform-spread-OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM) scheme, data is not transmitted in the first resource group to the BS, and

wherein when the DMRS is transmitted based on a Cyclic Prefix-OFDM (CP-OFDM) scheme, whether to transmit the data in the first resource group element to the base station is determined based on the received information indicating whether the data is transmitted in a resource element group in which the DMRS is not transmitted.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the received information further informs the UE of the second resource element group of the DMRS resource that is to be used for transmitting the DMRS to the BS.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the received information relates to DMRS transmissions via the CP OFDM or the DFT-s-OFDM.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein a DMRS mapping pattern based on the DFT-S-OFDM and a DMRS mapping pattern based on the CP-OFDM are same.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein a DMRS sequence based on the DFT-S-OFDM and a DMRS sequence based on the CP-OFDM are generated based on different type of sequences.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first and second resource element groups are interlaced within the DMRS resource.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein a total transmission power allocated to the first Resource Element group and the second Resource Element group is the same.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein a rank for the DMRS is 1 or 2.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein an interval between resource elements of the first resource element group or the second resource element group is 4 or 6.

10. A user equipment (UE) for operating in a wireless communication system that includes a base station (BS), the UE comprising:

a memory;

a transceiver; and

a processor operatively connected to the memory and transceiver, the processor for:

receiving, by the UE from the BS, information related to a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) resource of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol,

wherein the DMRS resources include a first resource element group and a second resource element group; and

transmitting, by the UE to the BS, a DMRS via a second resource element group of the DMRS resource,

wherein the first resource element group is different than the second resource element group,

wherein when the DMRS is transmitted based on a Discrete Fourier Transform-spread-OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM) scheme, data is not transmitted in the first resource group to the BS, and

wherein when the DMRS is transmitted based on a Cyclic Prefix-OFDM (CP-OFDM) scheme, whether to transmit the data in the first resource group element to the base station is determined based on the received information indicating whether the data is transmitted in a resource element group in which the DMRS is not transmitted.

11. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the received information further informs the UE of the second resource element group of the DMRS resource that is to be used for transmitting the DMRS to the BS.

12. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the received information relates to DMRS transmissions via the CP OFDM) or the DFT-s-OFDM.

13. The UE of claim 12 , wherein a DMRS mapping pattern based on the DFT-S-OFDM and a DMRS mapping pattern based on the CP-OFDM are same.

14. The UE of claim 12 , wherein a DMRS sequence based on the DFT-S-OFDM and a DMRS sequence based on the CP-OFDM are generated based on different type of sequences.

15. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the first and second resource element groups are interlaced within the DMRS resource.

16. The UE of claim 10 , wherein a total transmission power allocated to the first Resource Element group and the second Resource Element group is the same.

17. The UE of claim 10 , wherein a rank for the DMRS is 1 or 2.

18. The UE of claim 10 , wherein an interval between resource elements of the first resource element group or the second resource element group is 4 or 6.

19. A method of operating by a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system that includes a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

transmitting, by the BS to the UE, information related to a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) resource of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol,

wherein the DMRS resources include a first resource element group and a second resource element group; and

receiving, by the BS from the UE, a DMRS via a second resource element group of the DMRS resource,

wherein when the DMRS is received based on a Cyclic Prefix-OFDM (CP-OFDM) scheme, whether to receive the data in the first resource group element is determined based on the transmitted information indicating whether the data is transmitted in a resource element group in which the DMRS is not transmitted.

20. A base station (BS) for operating in a wireless communication system that includes a user equipment (UE), the BS comprising:

a memory;

a transceiver; and

a processor operatively connected to the memory and transceiver, the processor for:

transmitting, by the BS to the UE, information related to a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) resource of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol,
