Abstract

In an aspect, a network entity may receive download control information (DCI) indicating a first scrambling identification value, a second scrambling identification value, and a scrambling selection value, wherein the scrambling selection value has either a first scrambling selection value or a second scrambling selection value. The network entity may configure a first demodulation reference signal (DMRS) symbol sequence based on a first initial seed value, a second DMRS symbol sequence based on a second initial seed value, and a third DMRS symbol sequence based on a third initial seed value. The network entity may be configured, based on the scrambling selection value, to transmit or receive DMRS on a group of code division multiplexed (CDM) antenna ports based on either the first DMRS symbol sequence, the second DMRS symbol sequence, or the third DMRS symbol sequence.

Claims (23)

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

receiving a configuration of a parameter related to a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) sequence generation, wherein the parameter comprises a first selection value or a second selection value, and wherein the first selection value and the second selection value are selected from a set of {0, 1};

generating a first sequence for a DMRS for mapping to at least one resource element associated with a first code division multiplexing (CDM) group, generating a second sequence for the DMRS for mapping to at least one resource element associated with a second CDM group, generating a third sequence for the DMRS for mapping to at least one resource element associated with a third CDM group, or a combination thereof, wherein the first sequence is generated based on a first scrambling value associated with the first selection value of the parameter, the second sequence is generated based on a second scrambling value associated with the second selection value of the parameter, and the third sequence is generated based on applying a specified function on the first selection value, the second selection value, or a combination thereof; and

communicating the first sequence on the at least one resource element associated with the first CDM group, the second sequence on the at least one resource element associated with the second CDM group, the third sequence on the at least one resource element associated with the third CDM group, or a combination thereof.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration is received via downlink control information (DCI).

3. A user equipment (UE), comprising:

a memory;

at least one transceiver; and

at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the at least one transceiver, the memory storing instructions for the at least one processor to cause the UE to:

receive, via the at least one transceiver, a configuration of a parameter related to a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) sequence generation, wherein the parameter comprises a first selection value or a second selection value, and wherein the first selection value and the second selection value are selected from a set of {0, 1};

generate a first sequence for a DMRS for mapping to at least one resource element associated with a first code division multiplexing (CDM) group, generating a second sequence for the DMRS for mapping to at least one resource element associated with a second CDM group, generating a third sequence for the DMRS for mapping to at least one resource element associated with a third CDM group, or a combination thereof, wherein the first sequence is generated based on a first scrambling value associated with the first selection value of the parameter, the second sequence is generated based on a second scrambling value associated with the second selection value of the parameter, and the third sequence is generated based on applying a specified function on the first selection value, the second selection value, or a combination thereof; and

communicate, via the at least one transceiver, the first sequence on the at least one resource element associated with the first CDM group, the second sequence on the at least one resource element associated with the second CDM group, the third sequence on the at least one resource element associated with the third CDM group, or a combination thereof.

4. The UE of claim 3 , wherein the configuration is received via downlink control information (DCI).

5. A user equipment (UE), comprising:

means for receiving a configuration of a parameter related to a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) sequence generation, wherein the parameter comprises a first selection value or a second selection value, and wherein the first selection value and the second selection value are selected from a set of {0, 1};

means for generating a first sequence for a DMRS for mapping to at least one resource element associated with a first code division multiplexing (CDM) group, generating a second sequence for the DMRS for mapping to at least one resource element associated with a second CDM group, generating a third sequence for the DMRS for mapping to at least one resource element associated with a third CDM group, or a combination thereof, wherein the first sequence is generated based on a first scrambling value associated with the first selection value of the parameter, the second sequence is generated based on a second scrambling value associated with the second selection value of the parameter, and the third sequence is generated based on applying a specified function on the first selection value, the second selection value, or a combination thereof; and

means for communicating the first sequence on the at least one resource element associated with the first CDM group, the second sequence on the at least one resource element associated with the second CDM group, the third sequence on the at least one resource element associated with the third CDM group, or a combination thereof.

6. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the configuration is received via downlink control information (DCI).

7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for at least one processor to cause a user equipment (UE) to:

receive a configuration of a parameter related to a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) sequence generation, wherein the parameter comprises a first selection value or a second selection value, and wherein the first selection value and the second selection value are selected from a set of {0, 1};

generate a first sequence for a DMRS for mapping to at least one resource element associated with a first code division multiplexing (CDM) group, generating a second sequence for the DMRS for mapping to at least one resource element associated with a second CDM group, generating a third sequence for the DMRS for mapping to at least one resource element associated with a third CDM group, or a combination thereof, wherein the first sequence is generated based on a first scrambling value associated with the first selection value of the parameter, the second sequence is generated based on a second scrambling value associated with the second selection value of the parameter, and the third sequence is generated based on applying a specified function on the first selection value, the second selection value, or a combination thereof; and

communicate the first sequence on the at least one resource element associated with the first CDM group, the second sequence on the at least one resource element associated with the second CDM group, the third sequence on the at least one resource element associated with the third CDM group, or a combination thereof.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the configuration is received via downlink control information (DCI).
