为便于理解本申请实施例,首先以图1中示出的通信系统为例详细说明适用于本申请实施例的通信系统。如图1所示,该通信系统100可以包括至少一个网络设备,例如图1所示的网络设备101。该通信系统100还可以包括至少一个终端设备,例如图1所示的终端设备102至107。其中,该终端设备102至107可以是移动的或固定的。网络设备101 和终端设备102至107中的一个或多个均可以通过无线链路通信。每个网络设备可以为特定的地理区域提供通信覆盖,并且可以与位于该覆盖区域内的终端设备进行通信。
可选地,终端设备之间可以直接通信。例如可以利用设备到设备(device to device,D2D)技术等实现终端设备之间的直接通信。如图1中所示,终端设备105与106之间、终端设备105与107之间,可以利用D2D技术直接通信。终端设备106和终端设备107可以单独或同时与终端设备105通信。

各通信设备,均可以配置多个天线。对于该通信系统100中的每一个通信设备而言,所配置的多个天线可以包括至少一个用于发送信号的发射天线和至少一个用于接收信号的接收天线。因此,该通信系统100中的各通信设备之间,可通过多天线技术通信。
应理解,图1仅为便于理解而示例的简化示意图,该通信系统100中还可以包括其他网络设备或者还可以包括其他终端设备,图1中未予以画出。
为便于理解本申请实施例,对本申请实施例中涉及的几个基本概念做简单说明。应理解,下文中所介绍的基本概念是以NR协议中规定的基本概念为例进行简单说明,但并不限定本申请实施例只能够应用于NR系统。因此,以NR系统为例描述时出现的标准名称,都是功能性描述,具体名称并不限定,仅表示设备的功能,可以对应的扩展到未来的其它系统。
1、预编码技术。
终端设备可以在已知信道状态的情况下,借助与信道状态相匹配的预编码矩阵来对待发送信号进行处理,使得经过预编码的待发送信号与信道相适配,从而使得接收设备的接收信号强度提升,并降低对其他接收设备的干扰。因此,通过对待发送信号的预编码处理,接收信号质量(例如,信号与干扰加噪声比(signal to interference plus noise ratio,SINR)等)得以提升。
应理解,本申请中有关预编码技术的相关描述仅为便于理解而示例,并非用于限制本申请实施例的保护范围。在具体实现过程中,发送设备还可以通过其他方式进行预编码。例如,在无法获知信道信息(例如但不限于信道矩阵)的情况下,采用预先设置的预编码矩阵或者加权处理方式进行预编码等。为了简洁,其具体内容本申请不再赘述。
2、预编码矩阵
预编码矩阵例如可以是终端设备基于各个频域单元的信道矩阵确定的预编码矩阵。该预编码矩阵可以是终端设备通过信道估计等方式或者基于信道互易性确定。但应理解,终端设备确定预编码矩阵的具体方法并不限于上文所述,具体实现方式可参考现有技术,为了简洁,这里不再一一列举。
例如,预编码矩阵可以通过对信道矩阵或信道矩阵的协方差矩阵进行奇异值分解(singular value decomposition,SVD)的方式获得,或者,也可以通过对信道矩阵的协方差矩阵进行特征值分解(eigenvalue decomposition,EVD)的方式获得。应理解,上文中列举的预编码矩阵的确定方式仅为示例,不应对本申请构成任何限定。预编码矩阵的确定方式可以参考现有技术,为了简洁,这里不再一一列举。
3、信道互易性。
在时分双工(time division duplexing,TDD)模式下,上下行信道在相同的频域资源上不同的时域资源上传输信号。在相对较短的时间(如,信道传播的相干时间)之内,可以认为上、下行信道上的信号所经历的信道是相同的,上下行信道可互相等价获取。这就是上下行信道的互易性。基于上下行信道的互易性,网络设备可以根据上行参考信号,如探测参考信号(sounding reference signal,SRS),测量上行信道。并可以根据上行信道来估计下行信道,从而可以确定用于下行传输的预编码矩阵。
4、参考信号端口(SRS port)。
参考信号端口为一种终端设备发送参考信号占用的资源粒度。
作为一种可能的实现方式,一个参考信号端口可以对应一个终端设备的发送天线,在该实现方式下,终端设备的参考信号端口数量可以为终端设备的发送天线数量。
作为另一种可能的实现方式,一个参考信号端口可以对应发送天线的一个预编码向量,也就是可以对应一个空间波束赋形方向,在该实现方式下,终端设备的参考信号端口数量可以小于终端设备的发送天线数量。
通常情况下,与一个参考信号资源上的多个参考信号端口对应的多个参考信号占用一份或多份的时频资源,占用同一份时频资源的多个参考信号通过码分方式复用。例如,不同参考信号端口的参考信号使用不同的循环移位(cyclic shift,CS)占用同一份时频资源。
具体地,同一个时频资源上,不同参考信号端口的不同参考信号可以通过码分复用的正交方式,避免彼此的干扰,该正交方式可以通过循环移位实现。当信道的时延扩展很小时,CS可以基本实现码分正交。接收端通过特定操作可以消除采用其他CS的信号而仅保留采用特定CS的信号,从而实现码分复用。
本申请实施例中,参考信号端口可以是SRS端口,也可以是CSI-RS端口。
5、参考信号(reference signal,RS)。
RS也可以称为导频(pilot)、参考序列等。在本申请实施例中,参考信号可以是用于信道测量的参考信号。例如,该参考信号可以是用于下行信道测量的信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal,CSI-RS),也可以是用于上行信道测量的探测参考信号(sounding reference signal,SRS)。
应理解,上文列举的参考信号仅为示例,不应对本申请构成任何限定。本申请并不排除在未来的协议中定义其他参考信号以实现相同或相似功能的可能,也不排除在未来的协议中定义其他参考信号实现不同功能的可能。
为了便于描述,下文中以参考信号为SRS为例进行说明。在5G NR通信系统中,SRS用于估计不同频段的信道质量。
具体地,SRS的周期配置与帧结构相关。在介绍SRS的周期配置之前,首先结合图2简单说明一下帧,图2是一种系统帧、系统帧内时隙和时隙内OFDM符号之间的关系示意图。
从图2中可以看出n
f表示所述系统帧的序号、n
s,f表示所述系统帧内时隙的序号、n
o,s表示所述时隙内OFDM符号的序号、
表示一个所述系统帧所包括的时隙数量,
表示一个时隙slot所包括的OFDM符号数量。
可选地,系统帧也可以称为帧,或无线帧等。示例性地,本申请中涉及的时隙包括灵 活(flexible)时隙、下行(downlink)时隙和上行(uplink)时隙。为了便于描述,下文中用“S”表示灵活时隙、“D”表示下行时隙、“U”表示上行时隙。
目前协议中可配置的SRS的周期为T
SRS=n*T
SLOT,T
SLOT为时隙(slot)的时长,n为5或者5的整倍数。在每个SRS周期内的一部分上行slot上,触发SRS发送,可以用于SRS发送的候选上行slot须满足:
其中,T
SRS是相邻两次SRS发送的最小间隔slot数。
具体地,同一个SRS资源在满足上述条件的slot中,占据相同序号的OFDM符号。如图3所示,图3是一种上下行帧配置方式。
从图3中可以看出,SRS的周期为T
SRS=n*T
SLOT,n仅能取5或者5的整倍数。
示例性地,SRS周期为5个slot,配置T
SRS=5*T
SLOT,在每个“S”类型的slot中,相同序号的OFDM符号的资源用于配置SRS;或者,也可以配置T
SRS=1*T
SLOT,但是由于上述的T
SRS=n*T
SLOT,n仅能取5或者5的整倍数的限制,即使T
SRS=1*T
SLOT,SRS也无法占用每个slot,也就是说SRS周期依然是5个slot,每5个slot中,在“S”和“U”类型的两个slot的相同序号的OFDM符号的资源上配置SRS。
应理解,上文列举的参考信号为SRS仅为示例,不应对本申请构成任何限定。本申请并不排除在未来的协议中定义其他参考信号以实现相同或相似功能的可能。
6、参考信号资源。
参考信号资源可用于配置参考信号的传输属性,例如,时频资源位置、端口映射关系、功率因子以及扰码等,具体可参考现有技术。发送端设备可基于参考信号资源发送参考信号,接收端设备可基于参考信号资源接收参考信号。一个参考信号资源可以包括一个或多个RB。
在本申请实施例中,参考信号资源例如可以是SRS资源。
7、天线切换。
本申请实施例中涉及天线切换场景和非天线切换场景,其中,天线切换场景指示终端设备的发送天线个数小于接收天线个数;非天线切换场景指示终端设备的发送天线个数等于接收天线个数。
例如,终端设备的天线数表示为NTMR,其中,N表示发送天线个数,T表示发送(transmit,T),M表示接收天线个数,R表示接收(receive,R)。
若N小于M,该终端设备理解为天线切换场景中的终端设备,可理解为终端设备发送SRS的流程中需要进行天线切换,例如,N=2,M=4,那么终端设备的天线数可以表示为2T4R;
若N等于M该终端设备理解为非天线切换场景中的终端设备,可理解为终端设备发送SRS的流程中不需要进行天线切换,例如,N=M=4,那么终端设备的天线数可以表示为4T4R。
上述的天线切换还可以称为天线选择,本申请中对此不做限定。
8、多普勒测量需求。
在移动性场景下,终端设备与网络设备的相对移动速度v决定了信道的最大多普勒扩展:
当f
c=3.5GHz,v=60km/时,最小时间间隔为2.5ms;当速度提高到300km/时,所需的SRS最小时间间隔为0.5ms。
此外,为了便于理解本申请实施例,做出以下几点说明。
第一,在本申请中,“用于指示”可以包括用于直接指示和用于间接指示。当描述某一指示信息用于指示A时,可以包括该指示信息直接指示A或间接指示A,而并不代表该指示信息中一定包括有A。
将指示信息所指示的信息称为待指示信息,则具体实现过程中,对待指示信息进行指示的方式有很多种。例如但不限于,可以直接指示待指示信息,如待指示信息本身或者该待指示信息的索引等。也可以通过指示其他信息来间接指示待指示信息,其中该其他信息与待指示信息之间存在关联关系。还可以仅仅指示待指示信息的一部分,而待指示信息的其他部分则是已知的或者提前约定的。例如,还可以借助预先约定(例如协议规定)的各个信息的排列顺序来实现对特定信息的指示,从而在一定程度上降低指示开销。同时,还可以识别各个信息的通用部分并统一指示,以降低单独指示同样的信息而带来的指示开销。例如,本领域的技术人员应当明白,预编码矩阵是由预编码向量组成的,预编码矩阵中的各个预编码向量,在组成或者其他属性方面,可能存在相同的部分。
此外,具体的指示方式还可以是现有各种指示方式,例如但不限于,上述指示方式及其各种组合等。各种指示方式的具体细节可以参考现有技术,本文不再赘述。由上文所述可知,举例来说,当需要指示相同类型的多个信息时,可能会出现不同信息的指示方式不相同的情形。具体实现过程中,可以根据具体的需要选择所需的指示方式,本申请实施例对选择的指示方式不做限定,如此一来,本申请实施例涉及的指示方式应理解为涵盖可以使得待指示方获知待指示信息的各种方法。
此外,待指示信息可能存在其他等价形式,例如行向量可以表现为列向量,一个矩阵可以通过该矩阵的转置矩阵来表示,一个矩阵也可以表现为向量或者数组的形式,该向量或者数组可以由该矩阵的各个行向量或者列向量相互连接而成,等。本申请实施例提供的技术方案应理解为涵盖各种形式。举例来说,本申请实施例涉及的部分或者全部特性,应理解为涵盖该特性的各种表现形式。
待指示信息可以作为一个整体一起发送,也可以分成多个子信息分开发送,而且这些子信息的发送周期和/或发送时机可以相同,也可以不同。具体发送方法本申请不进行限定。其中,这些子信息的发送周期和/或发送时机可以是预先定义的,例如根据协议预先定义的,也可以是发射端设备通过向接收端设备发送配置信息来配置的。其中,该配置信息可以例如但不限于包括无线资源控制信令、媒体接入控制(media access control,MAC)层信令和物理层信令中的一种或者至少两种的组合。其中,无线资源控制信令例如包无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)信令;MAC层信令例如包括MAC控制元素(control element,CE);物理层信令例如包括DCI。
第二,在本申请中第一、第二以及各种数字编号(例如,“#1”、“#2”)仅为描述方便 进行的区分,并不用来限制本申请实施例的范围。例如,区分不同的信息等。
第三,本申请实施例中涉及的“协议”可以是指通信领域的标准协议,例如可以包括LTE协议、NR协议以及应用于未来的通信系统中的相关协议,本申请对此不做限定。
上文结合图1简单介绍了本申请实施例提供的用于传输参考信号的方法能够应用的场景,以及介绍了本申请实施例中可能涉及到的基本概念,下面将结合附图详细说明本申请实施例提供的用于传输参考信号的方法。
由上述图3所示的SRS时域配置可知,该SRS时域配置方式下,最小SRS周期受限于帧结构,最小SRS间隔受限于slot时长,且必须配置成slot时长的整数倍。
为了便于理解,以30kHz子载波间隔、“DSUDD”时隙配比为例进行说明。最小SRS周期为2.5ms,单个slot时长0.5ms。如果配置T
RS=5,则相邻SRS最小间隔为2.5ms,仅能支持最高60km/h的移动速度。如果配置T
RS=1,相邻SRS最小间隔为0.5ms,在视线(Line-of-Sight,LoS)信道下能满足中高速场景(最高300km/h)下的LoS径多普勒估计的需求,但是无法满足300km/h以上速度的多普勒估计的需求。同时,即便在中高速场景(最高300km/h)下,由于帧结构的限制,下行的“D”类型的slot内无法进行RS的发送,所以无法实现每隔0.5ms发送一次RS,在非视线(Non-Line-of-Sight,NLoS)信道下无法准确获取下行信道。最后,固定的0.5ms RS间隔的配置灵活性不足,不能按需配置以满足各种不同移动性场景、不同信道条件下信道测量与多普勒估计的需求。
为了解决目前SRS时域配置存在的问题,本申请实施例提供一种用于传输参考信号的方法,通过设计更灵活的时域RS配置方法,以期时域的采样频率满足信道测量需求,例如,满足上述的不同移动性场景、不同信道条件下信道测量与多普勒估计的需求。
应理解,本申请实施例提供的用于传输参考信号的方法可以应用于通过多天线技术通信的系统,例如,图1中所示的通信系统100。该通信系统可以包括至少一个网络设备和至少一个终端设备。网络设备和终端设备之间可通过多天线技术通信。
还应理解,下文示出的实施例并未对本申请实施例提供的方法的执行主体的具体结构特别限定,只要能够通过运行记录有本申请实施例的提供的方法的代码的程序,以根据本申请实施例提供的方法进行通信即可,例如,本申请实施例提供的方法的执行主体可以是终端设备或网络设备,或者,是终端设备或网络设备中能够调用程序并执行程序的功能模块。
以下,以网络设备与终端设备之间的交互为例详细说明本申请实施例提供的用于传输参考信号的方法。
需要说明的是,下文实施例中以“参考信号”为SRS为例对用于传输参考信号的方法进行了说明,在实际应用中,SRS也可以被替换为其他的参考信号,本申请对此不做限定。
图4是本申请实施例提供的一种传输参考信号的方法的示意性流程图。包括以下步骤:
S410,网络设备确定时域资源。
该时域资源包括至少包括多个第一OFDM符号组和多个第二OFDM符号组,所述第一OFDM符号组和所述第二OFDM符号组不重叠,所述第一OFDM符号组包括一个第一OFDM符号或者多个连续的第一OFDM符号,所述第二OFDM符号组包括一个第二OFDM符号或者多个连续的第二OFDM符号。
具体地,上述的多个第一OFDM符号组中任意两个第一OFDM符号组之间间隔的符 号数量为T
RS1的整数倍。其中,T
RS1的单位是OFDM符号或者是OFDM符号组。如,T
RS1等于12,表示12个OFDM符号。
可选地,上述的两个第一OFDM符号组可以指两个序号相邻的第一OFDM符号组。其中,序号是根据时域位置顺序排列的。
例如,多个第一OFDM符号组包括第一OFDM符号组#1、第一OFDM符号组#2和第一OFDM符号组#3,其中,第一OFDM符号组#1为第一个第一OFDM符号组,序号为1,第一OFDM符号组#2为第二个第一OFDM符号组,序号为2,则第一OFDM符号组#1和第一OFDM符号组#2为相邻的两个第一OFDM符号组。
为了便于理解,结合图5简单说明两个第一OFDM符号组在上述的多个第一OFDM符号组中的位置。图5是一种两个第一OFDM符号组的位置示意图。
从图5中可以看出多个第一OFDM符号组包括第一OFDM符号组#1、第一OFDM符号组#2和第一OFDM符号组#3,其中,第一OFDM符号组#1和第一OFDM符号组#2可以称为相邻的两个第一OFDM符号组,第一OFDM符号组#2和第一OFDM符号组#3可以称为相邻的两个第一OFDM符号组。因此,根据图5可以理解,相邻的两个第一OFDM符号组是指当多个符号组在时域上按顺序排列,这两个符号组在时域位置上相邻,相邻不代表时域上连续,相邻的这两个符号组之间可以具有其他OFDM符号,相邻的这两个第一OFDM符号组之间也可以有其他OFDM符号组。
进一步结合图5,任意两个第一OFDM符号组之间间隔的符号数量为T
RS1的整数倍可以理解为,第一OFDM符号组和第二OFDM符号组之间间隔的符号个数为T
RS1的整数倍,第一OFDM符号组和第三OFDM符号组之间间隔的符号个数为T
RS1的整数倍,进一步举例而言,假设T
RS1为4个符号,那么第一OFDM符号组和第二OFDM符号组之间的间隔可以为4个OFDM符号,第二OFDM符号组和第三OFDM符号组之间也可以为4个OFDM符号。
可选的,在多个第一OFDM符号组中,任意相邻的两个第一OFDM符号之间的间隔可以都是T
RS1,如上示例中。
可选的,在多个第一OFDM符号组中,可以存在相邻的两个第一OFDM符号之间的间隔不相等,例如,第一OFDM符号组和第二OFDM符号组之间的间隔可以为4个OFDM符号,此时是T
RS1的一倍,第二OFDM符号组和第三OFDM符号组之间可以为8个OFDM符号,此时是T
RS1的两倍,第三OFDM符号组和第四OFDM符号组之间的间隔为4个OFDM符号。
示例性地,两个第一OFDM符号组之间的间隔可以为两个第一OFDM符号组分别包括的第N1个第一OFDM符号之间间隔,所述N1为小于或者等于
的正整数,所述
表示所述第一OFDM符号组包括的第一OFDM符号数,
可以理解为在第一OFDM符号组中一次重复传输包括的OFDM符号数量。
例如,第一OFDM符号组中包括连续的两个第一OFDM符号(如,第一个OFDM符号为第一OFDM符号#1,第二个OFDM符号为第一OFDM符号#2),则两个第一OFDM符号组之间的间隔可以为两个第一OFDM符号组分别包括的第一OFDM符号#2之间间隔,或者,两个第一OFDM符号组之间的间隔可以为两个第一OFDM符号组分别包括的第一OFDM符号#2之间间隔。
例如,第一OFDM符号组中包括一个第一OFDM符号,则两个第一OFDM符号组之间的间隔可以为两个第一OFDM符号之间的间隔。
综上所述,两个第一OFDM符号组之间的间隔可以由两个第一OFDM符号组中分别包括的第N1个第一OFDM符号之间的间隔表示。
为了便于理解,结合图6简单说明两个第一OFDM符号组之间的间隔。图6是一种两个第一OFDM符号组之间的间隔示意图。
从图6中可以看出两个第一OFDM符号组(如,图6所示的第一OFDM符号组#1和第一OFDM符号组#2)分别包括
个OFDM符号(如,图6所示的OFDM符号#1、OFDM符号#2、…,OFDM符号#
)。
第一OFDM符号组#1和第一OFDM符号组#2之间的间隔可以由两个OFDM符号#1之间的间隔L表示,或者,还可以由两个OFDM符号#2之间的间隔L表示,…,或者,还可以由两个OFDM符号#
之间的间隔L表示。
示例性地,两个第N1个第一OFDM符号之间的间隔具体表示为:
两个第N1个第一OFDM符号所在位置之间的差值,例如,两个第N1个第一OFDM符号之间间隔的符号数量满足以下表达式:
作为一种可能的实现方式,上述两个所述第一OFDM符号组分别包括的第N1个OFDM符号之间间隔的符号数量为T
RS1的整数倍可以表示为:
相邻两个所述第一OFDM符号组分别包括的第N1个OFDM符号之间间隔的为G1个OFDM符号,该G1满足:G1 mod T
RS1=0。
作为另一种可能的实现方式,上述的相邻两个所述第一OFDM符号组分别包括的第N1个OFDM符号之间间隔的符号数量为T
RS1的整数倍可以表示为:
作为又一种可能的实现方式,上述的相邻两个所述第一OFDM符号组分别包括的第N1个OFDM符号之间间隔的符号数量为T
RS1的整数倍可以表示为:
相邻两个所述第一OFDM符号组分别包括的第N1个OFDM符号之间间隔的符号数量与T
RS1的比值为正整数。
为了便于理解,结合图7简单说明多个第一OFDM符号组之间的间隔。图7是一种多个第一OFDM符号组的位置示意图。
从图7中可以看出多个第一OFDM符号组包括第一OFDM符号组#1、第一OFDM符号组#2和第一OFDM符号组#3,其中,第一OFDM符号组#1和第一OFDM符号组#2之间的间隔L1为T
RS1的整数倍、第一OFDM符号组#2和第一OFDM符号组#3之间的间隔L2为T
RS1的整数倍、第一OFDM符号组#1和第一OFDM符号组#3之间的间隔L3为T
RS1的整数倍。
进一步地,在上述的多个第一OFDM符号组包括两个第一OFDM符号组的情况下,该两个第一OFDM符号组分别位于不同的时隙。
例如,多个第一OFDM符号组包括第一OFDM符号组#1和第一OFDM符号组#2,其中,第一OFDM符号组#1位于SLOT#1,第一OFDM符号组#2位于SLOT#2,SLOT#1和SLOT#2为不同的时隙。
需要说明的是,上述的多个第一OFDM符号组包括两个第一OFDM符号组只是举例,多个第一OFDM符号组还可以包括三个及三个以上的第一OFDM符号组;在多个第一OFDM符号组包括至少三个第一OFDM符号组的情况下,该至少三个第一OFDM符号组中包括位于相同时隙的第一OFDM符号组。
例如,多个第一OFDM符号组包括第一OFDM符号组#1、第一OFDM符号组#2和第一OFDM符号组#3,其中,第一OFDM符号组#1位于SLOT#1,第一OFDM符号组#2和第一OFDM符号组#3位于SLOT#2,SLOT#1和SLOT#2为不同的时隙。
为了便于理解,结合图8中的(a)和(b)简单说明多个第一OFDM符号组与时隙的关系。图8中的(a)和(b)是一种多个第一OFDM符号组与时隙的关系的示意图。
从图8中的(a)可以看出多个第一OFDM符号组包括两个第一OFDM符号组(第一OFDM符号组#1和第一OFDM符号组#2),其中,第一OFDM符号组#1位于SLOT#1,第一OFDM符号组#2位于SLOT#2,SLOT#1和SLOT#2为不同的时隙。
从图8中的(b)可以看出多个第一OFDM符号组包括第一OFDM符号组#1、第一OFDM符号组#2和第一OFDM符号组#3,其中,第一OFDM符号组#1位于SLOT#1,第一OFDM符号组#2和第一OFDM符号组#3位于SLOT#2,SLOT#1和SLOT#2为不同的时隙。
具体地,上述的多个第二OFDM符号组中任意两个第二OFDM符号组之间间隔的符号数量为T
RS2的整数倍。其中,T
RS2的单位是OFDM符号。如,T
RS2等于12,表示12个OFDM符号。
需要说明的是,多个第二OFDM符号组中的每个第二OFDM符号组中包括的OFDM符号的位置以及多个第二OFDM符号组中的不同第二OFDM符号组的位置关系,与上述的多个第一OFDM符号组类似。
例如,上述的两个第二OFDM符号组可以指两个序号相邻的第二OFDM符号组,相邻的第二OFDM符号组的位置关系可以参考上述两个第一OFDM符号组的位置关系的描述(如,图5所示的可以将第一OFDM符号组替换为第二OFDM符号组),这里不再赘述。
还例如,两个第二OFDM符号组之间的间隔可以为两个第二OFDM符号组分别包括的第N2个第二OFDM符号之间间隔,所述N2为小于或者等于
的正整数,所述
表示所述第二OFDM符号组包括的OFDM符号数,两个第二OFDM符号之间间隔可以参考上述两个第一OFDM符号之间间隔的描述(如,图6所示的可以将第一OFDM符号组替换为第二OFDM符号组),这里不再赘述。
又例如,多个第二OFDM符号组之间的间隔可以参考上述多个第一OFDM符号组之间间隔的描述(如,图7所示的可以将第一OFDM符号组替换为第二OFDM符号组),这里不再赘述。
又例如,多个第二OFDM符号组与时隙的关系可以参考上述多个第二一OFDM符号组与时隙的关系的描述(如,图8中的(a)和(b)所示的可以将第一OFDM符号组替换为第二OFDM符号组),这里不再赘述。

在图10中所示的情况下,上述的T
RS1=5,T

应理解,图9和图10只是举例说明如何交替使用不同的天线组发送参考信号,对本申请的保护范围不构成任何的限定,例如,不同的天线组对应的T
RS可以不同。
作为另一种可能的实现方式,上述的方式一和方式二可以同时存在,例如,对于时域资源中的部分时域资源可以采用方式一的配置方式为不同的天线组配置资源,另外的时域资源可以采用方式二的配置方式为不同的天线组配置资源。
需要说明的是,同一组天线组中的不同天线对应的时域偏移OFDM符号数相同。

还例如,每组DDDDDDDSUU中限制在一个/多个时隙发送,其中,某些时隙可以进一步限制在部分OFDM符号发送,在所限范围内满足上述公式的OFDM符号发送参考信号。
应理解,上述只是举例说明不同天线组对应的每个OFDM符号的位置如何基于系统帧的序号、该系统帧内时隙的序号和该时隙内OFDM符号的序号确定,对本申请的保护范围不构成任何的限定,其他确定方式能够使得任意两个第一OFDM符号组之间的间隔为T

由上述可知,系统帧的序号、该系统帧内时隙的序号和该时隙内OFDM符号的序号能够确定不同天线组对应的可能传输参考信号的OFDM符号的位置。
可选的,在不同天线组对应的所有可能传输参考信号的OFDM符号的位置中,对于下行参考信号,UE仅在属于下行OFDM符号的位置上接收参考信号;对于上行参考信号,UE仅在属于上行OFDM符号的位置上发送参考信号。
