Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for determining mapping of antenna ports includes: determining mapping of antenna ports of an SRS according to the number of the antenna ports of the SRS, wherein the SRS is an SRS with a comb size of N, N is an even number greater than 4, and the number of the antenna ports is 1, 2 or 4.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for determining mapping of antenna ports, wherein the method is applied to a terminal and comprises: determining mapping of antenna ports of a sounding reference signal (SRS) according to number of the antenna ports of the SRS, wherein the SRS is an SRS with a comb size of N, N is an even number greater than 4, and number of the antenna ports is 1, 2 or 4; wherein the mapping of the antenna ports of the SRS comprises at least one of: a cyclic shift of a sequence to which the antenna ports of the SRS are mapped; or a comb position where the antenna ports of the SRS are mapped; wherein the cyclic shift of the sequence is determined according to at least one of a cyclic shift offset value, a maximum cyclic shift number or an antenna port index; and/or the comb position is determined according to at least one of whether frequency division multiplexing (FDM) is performed, a comb offset value, a maximum cyclic shift number, an antenna port index or a comb size of the SRS. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in a case that the number of the antenna ports is 4 and an FDM mode is unrelated to the cyclic shift offset value, four antenna ports of the SRS are divided into two groups, the antenna ports in a same group are mapped to a same comb position, the antenna ports in a same group are mapped to different sequences of the cyclic shift, and the antenna ports in different groups are mapped to different comb positions; or four antenna ports of the SRS are distinguished by at least one of the cyclic shift of the sequence or the FDM. 3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein in a case that the four antenna ports of the SRS are divided into two groups, ⁢ n SRS cs , i = [ n SRS cs + n SRS cs , max · [ ( p i - 1000 ) ⁢ mod ⁢ ⁢ 2 ] · 2 N ap SRS ] ⁢ mod ⁢ ⁢ n SRS cs , max , ⁢ k TC ( p i ) = { ( k _ TC + K TC ⁢ / ⁢ 2 ) ⁢ mod ⁢ ⁢ K TC ⁢ ⁢ if ⁢ ⁢ p i = { 1000 , 1001 } ⁢ ( or
