Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A technique of operating a wireless communication device includes receiving an assigned starting point index and an assigned reference signal bandwidth for a reference signal. The reference signal is then transmitted multiple times, beginning at an initial resource block that is associated with the assigned starting point index and in accordance with the assigned reference signal bandwidth, across a shared channel.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of operating a user equipment (UE) device, comprising: receiving an assigned starting point index, an assigned reference signal bandwidth for a reference signal, a total bandwidth assigned to a physical uplink shared channel, and a parameter indicative of a number of resource blocks associated with the assigned reference signal bandwidth, wherein the total bandwidth is configured to change over time on a semi-static basis, and wherein the physical u…
