Abstract

The present disclosure pertains to a method and an apparatus for generating a reference signal (RS) sequence and a data scrambling sequence. A method for a base station transmitting a reference signal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may comprise the steps of: generating a reference signal sequence; and transmitting a reference signal corresponding to the generated reference signal sequence. The reference signal sequence can be generated using an initial sequence that is determined using a slot number in a transmission frame, a symbol number in a slot, and a scrambling identifier (ID).

Claims (41)

determining an initial sequence;

generating a reference signal sequence using the initial sequence; and

transmitting a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) corresponding to the generated reference signal sequence,

wherein the initial sequence is determined using Equation 1:

c init =(2 10 ×(((14( n s,f μ mod{ N slot frame,μ /M }))+ l+ 1)(2 N ID CSI +1)+ N ID CSI ))mod2 31   [Equation 1]

where, c init is the initial sequence, μ is a subcarrier spacing (SCS) configuration, N slot frame,μ is a number of slots in a transmission frame for the SCS configuration, n s,f μ is a slot number in the transmission frame for the SCS configuration, l is a symbol number in a slot, N ID CSI is a reference signal identifier (ID) of the CSI-RS, and M is a variable for determining a sequence initialization repetition periodicity of the initial sequence,
