Abstract

Disclosed herein are a method and apparatus for performing, by UE, decoding in a wireless communication system. According to the present invention, there may be a method and an apparatus for decoding data in which a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) configured by a base station according to a specific pattern is received from the base station through a DMRS symbol, the demodulation reference signal is transmitted on a specific antenna port and located on the same one or two time-axis symbols as at least one other demodulation reference signal transmitted on another antenna port, the specific pattern is determined according to characteristics of a frequency band in which the demodulation reference signal is transmitted, the demodulation reference signal is mapped to the one or two time-axis symbols using at least one of a first code division multiplexing (CDM) on a frequency axis or a second CDM on a time axis, and the data are decoded using the demodulation reference signal.

mapping a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) to resource elements (REs) in one or two symbols, based on a specific pattern, and
transmitting, to a second wireless device, the DMRS,

wherein the CDM includes i) a first CDM on a frequency domain and ii) a second CDM on a time domain,
wherein a sequence applied to the second CDM is one of two sequences related to the second CDM which include (+1 −1) and (+1 +1), and
wherein, based on that a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) is transmitted from the first wireless device to the second wireless device, the sequence applied to the second CDM is (+1 +1).

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first wireless device is a base station (BS) and the second wireless device is a user equipment (UE).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first wireless device is a user equipment (UE) and the second wireless device is a base station (BS).

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sequence applied to the second CDM is applied based on (i) the DMRS is mapped to two symbols, (ii) the two symbols are adjacent symbols and (iii) the PTRS is transmitted from the first wireless device to the second wireless device.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DMRS is transmitted based on (i) a specific antenna port and (ii) the one or two symbols on which at least one other DMRS based on another antenna port is transmitted.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein, based on that only one sequence related to the second CDM is applied, the DMRS and at least one other DMRS based on an antenna port different from that of the DMRS are mapped to the one or two symbols based on a frequency division multiplexing (FDM).

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the specific pattern is determined based on characteristics of a frequency band in which the DMRS is transmitted.
