Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Described herein is a network element with a processor. The processor is configured to promote transmitting a first physical resource block (PRB) pair that contains a first demodulation reference signal (DMRS) pattern. The processor is further configured to promote transmitting a second PRB pair that contains a second DMRS pattern. The first DMRS pattern is a subset of the second DMRS pattern.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A first network element comprising: a first processor configured to promote: transmitting a first physical resource block (PRB) pair comprising a first demodulation reference signal (DMRS) pattern to support a number of layers; and transmitting a second PRB pair comprising a second DMRS pattern to support the same number of layers, wherein the first DMRS pattern is a subset of the second DMRS pattern. 2. The first network element o…
