It is then possible to multiplex data into unused parts of the first OFDM symbol of the mini-slot, thus further increasing data capacity. In such a case, the shared DMRS sequence should be expanded beyond the control part such as to cover all the frequency resources allocated to the mini-slot.

  • Figure 5 (a) shows a conventional example in which the control part (in the first OFDM symbol) uses fewer frequency resources (sub-carriers) than the data parts of the mini-slot. This does not affect the system performance because DMRS is transmitted in both the control and data parts on the respective sub-carriers.
  • Figure 5 (b) shows a transmission system which avoids repetition of the DMRS.
  • the shared DMRS for the control part is transmitted in the first OFDM symbol on the respective sub-carriers.
  • DMRS is transmitted on the sub-carriers that were not included in the control part of the mini-slot, but DMRS is not transmitted on sub-carriers that were utilised in the control part of the mini-slot.
  • the sub-carriers common to the control and data parts rely on shared DMRS placed in the control region, the 1 st OFDM symbol of the mini-slot. Thus these DMRS from the control part are used to decode respective sub-carriers across the whole mini-slot.

These are the data DMRS placed in the first data symbol, 2 nd symbol of the mini-slot, over the additional sub-carriers which were not part of the control region.
  • DMRS are transmitted in the first symbol of each channel which may minimise latency as the DMRS is then available at the start of the transmission of each channel.
  • the DRMS may be transmitted in different OFDM symbols in a mini-slot.
  • the UE can receive the DMRS and decode the PDCCH.
  • the PDCCH contains details of the allocation of data frequency carriers, thus allowing decode of the data OFDM symbols. If DMRS is only sent in the data symbols, the UE must decode received signals in a different order, and restrictions are placed on the use of sub-carriers in the control and data parts. In particular all sub-carriers used for the PDCCH of a mini-slot must be used for the PDSCH in the OFDM symbols of the mini-slot. The UE thus receives shared DMRS on all relevant sub-carriers to decode the PDCCH, and then decode the PDSCH. More sub-carriers can be used for the PDSCH, provided all PDCH sub-carriers are included.
  • Figure 6 (a) shows a conventional example in which both the control (PDCCH) and data (PDSCH) parts of the mini-slot carry a DMRS in the first relevant OFDM symbol.

  • a specific port for example the first, may be selected for the control portion.
  • Shared DMRS for all the antenna ports used for data can be embedded either in the control region or in the data region. Thus demodulation of both control information and data information can be facilitated through these shared pilots.
  • One additional technique could be to embed shared pilots either in control or data region for the common antenna port (used to transmit both control and data) and the additional antenna ports which are used for data transmission can have dedicated DMRS in the data region.
  • this precoding vector may not be optimal for single port control transmission.
  • One possibility to compensate this could be through applying a power offset in the control region.
  • Another technique is to make the precoding design choice such that the first precoding vector is selected which is optimized for multi-layer data and single layer control information transmission.
  • the control region has some REs beyond CORESET or inside CORESET, these can be used for data multiplexing.
  • control information can be transmitted through a single antenna port or through single antenna transmit diversity, the data REs in the data region or multiplexed in the control region can be transmitted through multi-antenna port transmission.
  • Mini-Slot data can be further multiplexed in the control region by the following mechanism. If data transmission is through N ports, the DMRS for N antenna ports are transmitted in the control or data portions. The gNB multiplexes multi-antenna port transmitted data in the control portion where there is not CORESET or there are no CCEs.
  • Additional multiplexing may also be obtained on the resource elements which carry control information.
  • the first of the data antenna ports is used to transmit control information and the rest of the antenna ports (spatial layers additional to the first) are used for data transmission.
  • the UE may see some interference due to this control information or the UE may not know the antenna ports are in use but if some multi-antenna transmission modes are agreed to be used from a fixed subset, the UE can try to demodulate reference symbols from this subset. Relative comparison of estimated channel powers corresponding to different transmission modes (different antenna ports) can let the UE identify the active transmission mode.
  • a conventional mini-slot may be 10 PRBs for 2 OFDM symbols; the first symbol is for control and the second symbol for data.
  • a mini-slot is configured such that control information is using a single antenna port and the data part is being transmitted through two antenna ports.
  • control portion resource usage remains the same (40 RS and 80REs) , but all of the resource elements in the data portion are now available for information data using two ports, offering 240 REs, giving a total of 320 REs for control and data compared to 240 in the conventional case.
  • the proposed DMRS sharing structures thus reduce the overhead as expected.
  • NR intends to support multi-user (MU) MIMO for PDCCH.
  • Reference symbols may be shared between control and data in such a situation providing the reduced overhead discussed above.
  • Reference Symbols may be embedded in control portions of mini-slots such that UEs can estimate their channels and attempt to decode the control information. Data transmission for each user can then be performed using the antenna port through which they received reference symbols and their respective control information.
  • reference sequences can be orthogonal or non-orthogonal.
  • the reference sequence for each user can be a function of user RNTI, or it can be pre-informed to relevant users through higher layer (MAC or RRC) signalling.

  • Each scheduled UE would consider that it is the only UE scheduled on the physical resources.
  • the reference symbols (sequences) appear to each UE as transmitted from a single antenna port which is used both for control and data transmission.
  • orthogonal sequences can be Zadoff-Chu sequences of a certain length with different cyclic shifts which are inherently orthogonal to each other. If PN sequences are used, they are not perfectly orthogonal to each other but have good auto-and cross-correlation properties. Another technique could be to apply orthogonal cover codes to reference symbols of different users in time, frequency or time-frequency, although that should be known to user to be able to do channel estimation and demodulation of control information. Regarding the density of the reference sequences, it can follow any of the configurations, like Configuration Type 1 or Configuration Type 2or a variation of these.
  • MU-MIMO operation can be achieved through the multiplexing techniques similar to LTE TM5 (MU-MIMO) or through multi-layer beamforming similar to LTE TM7 when dual layer beamforming is used to do the transmission to two users simultaneously on the same time-frequency resources, as described below.
  • Users which are being transmitted can be scheduled for single layer and single port transmission. They don’t necessarily need to know the existence of other users to be able to decode their data.
  • One method to improve the demodulation performance is to convey some limited information to these users through which they can apply some interference rejection or cancellation strategies.
  • mini-slots Although there is common understanding that the typical use of mini-slots would be for a single user but the standard does not restrict the use of mini-slots to single users. Thus, the network is free to schedule multiple users in a single mini-slot. For the mini-slots with single user scheduled, the DMRS should be user specific.
  • a scenario presents with multiple users scheduled on orthogonal time-frequency resources, thus excluding MU-MIMO or multi-layer beamforming destined to multiple users on the same resource.
  • DMRS sharing will be possible only if these users are being transmitted with the same antenna port (s) , and includes the port through which control information is being transmitted.
  • sharing of DMRS between control and data of these users can be facilitated by the use of common (common to mini-slot users) DMRS (sort of LTE cell specific reference symbols) .
  • the current disclosure shows various methods for sharing DMRS between control and data for mini-slots, including single and multi-port transmission and for single user or multiple users scheduled in mini-slots.

  • one control DMRS and the other data DMRS may limit the use of mini-slots to single antenna port transmission.
  • the DMRS for the additional ports may be added in the control region. These additional DMRS in the control region could either follow the DMRS configuration for data or they could be multiplexed on the same resources as of control region DMRS. Putting the DMRS of additional data ports in the control region can be done in an orthogonal manner if these are using Zadoff-Chu sequences by selecting different cyclic shifts. In case of PN sequences used for DMRS, multiplexing on the same resource would result in some degradation in correlation properties.
