Methods and devices for data transmission with reference signals
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods and devices for data transmission. In example embodiments, a method implemented in a network device is provided. According to the method, a target RS port group is determined from a plurality of RS ports for transmitting a RS. The RS ports are associated with at least one network device. Then, a configuration of the target RS port group is transmitted to the terminal device.
1. A method performed by a terminal device comprising:
receiving information via a PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel) with a plurality of layers, wherein a first set of the plurality of layers and a second set of the plurality of layers being from different TRPs (Transmission Reception Points), and
receiving a DMRS (Demodulation Reference Signal) with a plurality of DMRS ports, the DMRS being associated to the PDSCH, wherein a first set of the plurality of DMRS ports and a second set of the plurality of DMRS ports are from the different TRPs, and the first set of the plurality of DMRS ports and the second set of the plurality of DMRS ports are multiplexed with FDM (frequency division multiplexing).
2. A terminal device comprising:
a memory storing a program; and
a processor configured to execute the program to:
receive information via a PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel) with a plurality of layers, wherein a first set of the plurality of layers and a second set of the plurality of layers corresponding to different TRPs (Transmission Reception Points), and
receive a DMRS (Demodulation Reference Signal) with a plurality of DMRS ports, the DMRS being associated to the PDSCH, wherein a first set of the plurality of DMRS ports and a second set of the plurality of DMRS ports correspond to the different TRPs, and the first set of the plurality of DMRS ports and the second set of the plurality of DMRS ports are multiplexed with FDM (frequency division multiplexing).
3. A method performed by a network device, the method comprising:
