Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif pour émettre et recevoir un signal de référence, ainsi qu'un système d'émission. Le procédé d'émission comprend les étapes suivantes : pour une bande étroite parmi toutes les bandes étroites utilisées par un système, émettre un signal de référence dans l'un des modes suivants : émettre le signal de référence sur toutes les sous-trames effectives ; émettre le signal de référence sur des sous-trames non de réseau monofréquence de multidiffusion/diffusion (MBSFN), et des sous-trames de MBSFN de transmission de données des sous-trames effectives ; émettre le signal de référence sur des sous-trames de transmission de données des sous-trames effectives ; et émettre le signal de référence sur une sous-trame prédéterminée et des sous-trames non de transmission de données prédéterminées des sous-trames effectives, les sous-trames effectives étant des sous-trames capables de transmettre des données de système. La présente invention traite le problème dans l'état de la technique associé de la façon d'émettre un NB-RS dans un scénario dans lequel un système NB-IoT utilise de multiples bandes étroites simultanément.
