Methods and apparatus for pulse shaped and overlapped phase tracking reference signals
Methods and apparatus related to pulse-shaped and overlapped phase tracking reference signals are disclosed. Signaling that indicates information associated with first pulse shaping is communicated between a first communication device and a second communication device in a wireless communication network. Data with a phase tracking reference signal (PT-RS) is generated based on the first pulse shaping, and is transmitted and/or received as pulse-shaped PT-RS and data comprising the PT-RS and data to which second pulse shaping, different from the first pulse shaping, has been applied.
