Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure provides a signal processing method and device. The method includes: sending a first data signal and receiving a second data signal in a first Resource Block (RB) of a first subframe; and further sending a first reference signal according to first reference information and receiving a second reference signal according to second reference information in the first RB, where: the first reference information is different from the second reference information; the first reference information includes: a time-frequency resource location occupied by the first reference signal, and sequence information of the first reference signal; and the second reference information includes: a time-frequency resource location occupied by the second reference signal, and sequence information of the second reference signal. The present disclosure ensures correct receiving of the reference signal.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A signal processing method, comprising: sending a first data signal; receiving a second data signal; sending a first reference signal according to first reference information; and receiving a second reference signal according to second reference information, wherein the first reference signal is for demodulating the first data signal, and the second reference signal is for demodulating the second data signal, wherein the first reference information comprises a time-frequency resource location occupied by the first reference signal, and sequence information of the first reference signal, wherein the second reference information comprises a time-frequency resource location occupied by the second reference signal, and sequence information of the second reference signal, and wherein the time-frequency resource location occupied by the first reference signal is the same as the time-frequency resource location occupied by the second reference signal. 2. The signal processing method according to claim 1 , wherein the sequence information of the first reference signal is different from the sequence information of the second reference signal. 3. The signal processing method according to claim 1 , wherein the first reference information is different from the second reference information. 4. The signal processing method according to claim 2 , wherein the sending the first data signal and the receiving the second data signal uses time-frequency resources other than the time-frequency resource locations occupied by the first reference signal and the second reference signal. 5. The signal processing method according to claim 1 , wherein the first reference information and the second reference information are preset. 6. The signal processing method according to claim 1 , wherein at least one piece of the following information is sent by a base station: the time-frequency resource location occupied by the first reference signal, the sequence information of the first reference signal, the time-frequency resource location occupied by the second reference signal, and the sequence information of the second reference signal. 7. The signal processing method according to claim 1 , wherein: the time-frequency resource location occupied by the first reference signal is sent by a base station, and the time-frequency resource location occupied by the second reference signal is obtained according to the time-frequency resource location occupied by the first reference signal and preset relationship information; or the time-frequency resource location occupied by the second reference signal is sent by a base station, and the time-frequency resource location occupied by the first reference signal is obtained according to the time-frequency resource location occupied by the second reference signal and preset relationship information. 8. A signal processing device, comprising: a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the signal processing device to perform steps comprising: sending a first data signal; receiving a second data signal; sending a first reference signal according to first reference information; and receiving a second reference signal according to second reference information, wherein the first reference signal is for demodulating the first data signal, and the second reference signal is for demodulating the second data signal, wherein the first reference information comprises a time-frequency resource location occupied by the first reference signal, and sequence information of the first reference signal, wherein the second reference information comprises a time-frequency resource location occupied by the second reference signal, and sequence information of the second reference signal, and wherein the time-frequency resource location occupied by the first reference signal is the same as the time-frequency resource location occupied by the second reference signal. 9. The signal processing device according to claim 8 , wherein the sequence information of the first reference signal is different from the sequence information of the second reference signal. 10. The signal processing device according to claim 8 , wherein the first reference information is different from the second reference information. 11. The signal processing device according to claim 9 , wherein the steps of sending the first data signal and receiving the second data signal are performed by using time-frequency resources other than the time-frequency resource locations occupied by the first reference signal and the second reference signal. 12. The signal processing device according to claim 8 , wherein the signal processing device is a user equipment or a base station. 13. The signal processing device according to claim 8 , wherein at least one piece of the following information is sent by a base station: the time-frequency resource location occupied by the first reference signal, the sequence information of the first reference signal, the time-frequency resource location occupied by the second reference signal, and the sequence information of the second reference signal. 14. The signal processing device according to claim 8 , wherein: the time-frequency resource location occupied by the first reference signal is sent by a base station, and the time-frequency resource location occupied by the second reference signal is obtained according to the time-frequency resource location occupied by the first reference signal and preset relationship information, or the time-frequency resource location occupied by the second reference signal is sent by a base station, and the time-frequency resource location occupied by the first reference signal is obtained according to the time-frequency resource location occupied by the second reference signal and preset relationship information. 15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform steps comprising: sending a first data signal; receiving a second data signal; sending a first reference signal according to first reference information; and receiving a second reference signal according to second reference information, wherein the first reference signal is for demodulating the first data signal, and the second reference signal is for demodulating the second data signal, wherein the first reference information comprises a time-frequency resource location occupied by the first reference signal, and sequence information of the first reference signal, wherein the second reference information comprises a time-frequency resource location occupied by the second reference signal, and sequence information of the second reference signal, and wherein the time-frequency resource location occupied by the first reference signal is the same as the time-frequency resource location occupied by the second reference signal. 16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 15 , wherein the sequence information of the first reference signal is different from the sequence information of the second reference signal. 17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 15 , wherein the first reference information is different from the second reference information. 18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 16 , wherein: sending the first data signal and receiving the second data signal b
