Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). Disclosed is a method of defining a resource block or resource element offset for mapping PTRS to a symbol, wherein the offset is determined based on an identifier of a particular user equipment, UE.

Claims (51)

1. A method performed by a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a user equipment (UE), UE capability information including:

a first set of parameters including a first phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) frequency density values and a first PTRS time density values associated with at least one subcarrier spacing, and

a second set of parameters including a second PTRS frequency density values and a second PTRS time density values associated with at least one subcarrier spacing; and

transmitting, to the UE, via a radio resource control (RRC) signaling, a PTRS configuration used for mapping PTRS for a bandwidth part (BWP) including information on a resource element (RE) offset, information related to a frequency density and information related to a time density,

wherein the BWP corresponds to one of the at least one subcarrier spacings.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the first set of parameters and the second set of parameters is associated with one of a downlink (DL) PTRS and an uplink (UL) PTRS.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a resource block (RB) offset is identified based on a modulo operation of an identifier of the UE and the frequency density.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying a resource block (RB) offset associated with the BWP based on the frequency density and an identifier of the UE; and

mapping at least one phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) based on the RB offset and the RE offset.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the RB offset and the RE offset are configured per BWP.

6. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a base station (BS), UE capability information including:

a first set of parameters including a first phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) frequency density values and a first PTRS time density values associated with at least one subcarrier spacing, and

a second set of parameters including a second PTRS frequency density values and a second PTRS time density values associated with at least one subcarrier spacing; and

receiving, from the BS, via a radio resource control (RRC) signaling, a PTRS configuration used for mapping PTRS for a bandwidth part (BWP) including information on a resource element (RE) offset, information related to a frequency density and information related to a time density,

wherein the BWP corresponds to one of the at least one subcarrier spacings.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein each of the first set of parameters and the second set of parameters is associated with one of a downlink (DL) PTRS and an uplink (UL) PTRS.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein a resource block (RB) offset is identified based on a modulo operation of an identifier of the UE and the frequency density.

9. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein a resource block (RB) offset associated with the BWP is identified based on a frequency density and an identifier of the UE, and

wherein the RB offset and the RE offset are used to map at least one PTRS.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the RB offset and the RE offset are configured per BWP.

11. A base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the BS comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor coupled to the transceiver, configured to:

receive, from a user equipment (UE), UE capability information including:

a first set of parameters including a first phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) frequency density values and a first PTRS time density values associated with at least one subcarrier spacing, and

a second set of parameters including a second PTRS frequency density values and a second PTRS time density values associated with at least one subcarrier spacing; and

transmit, to the UE, via a radio resource control (RRC) signaling, a PTRS configuration used for mapping PTRS for a bandwidth part (BWP) including information on a resource element (RE) offset, information related to a frequency density and information related to a time density,

wherein the BWP corresponds to one of the at least one subcarrier spacings.

12. The BS of claim 11 , wherein each of the first set of parameters and the second set of parameters is associated with one of a downlink (DL) PTRS and an uplink (UL) PTRS.

13. The BS of claim 11 , wherein a resource block (RB) offset is identified based on a modulo operation of an identifier of the UE and the frequency density.

14. The BS of claim 11 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
