Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided are a method and apparatus for transmitting reference signals in a wireless communication system. A first set of reference signals and a second set of reference signals are generated and mapped to a first resource block (RB) in accordance with a first reference signal pattern and a second RB which is close to the first RB in accordance with a second reference signal pattern. The first RB and the second RB are transmitted from a base station to user equipment. Each of the first reference signal pattern and the second reference signal pattern is formed of one sub-frame and on RB unit. In addition, resource elements (Rs) to which the first set of reference signals and the second set of reference signals are respectively mapped in accordance with the second reference signal pattern are REs to which the second set of reference signals and the first set of reference signals are respectively mapped in accordance with the first reference signal pattern.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for transmitting a reference signal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: configuring a first pattern in both a first symbol and second symbol in a first resource block (RB); configuring a second pattern in both the first symbol and second symbol in a second RB, the second RB adjacent the first RB in a frequency domain; transmitting a first reference signal for a first layer, the first reference signal transmitted in the fir…
