Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An apparatus and method for providing encoded information pertaining to a user-specific reference signal associated with a user equipment in a multiple access wireless communication system are provided. The encoded information jointly indicates a rank of transmission together with at least one parameter relating to the user-specific reference signal, such as a set of antenna ports and a user-specific reference signal pattern. The encoded information is transmitted in a downlink control channel to reduce overhead in the channel.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method that facilitates providing encoded information pertaining to a user-specific reference signal (UE-RS) associated with a user equipment (UE), the method comprising: including, within the encoded information, a bit sequence that encodes at least an indication of a transmission rank jointly with at least one parameter relating to the UE-RS, the at least one parameter relating to the UE-RS comprising a UE-RS sequence initialization ID; and transmittin…
