Abstract

Various embodiments herein provide techniques for reference signal (RS) configuration for high frequency bands (e.g., frequency above 52.6 GHz). For example, embodiments may include techniques for configuration of a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS), a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), and/or a sounding reference signal (SRS). The RS configuration may provide a low peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) compared to prior techniques. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
