Patent number: 11991033Abstract: A user equipment (910) is provided for use in a cellular network. The user equipment includes a transceiver (1010), a processor (1020), and a memory (1030). The user equipment (910) is configured to determine, for a data transmission, a mapping form a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) to a PNT-RS. A DMRS resulting signal is generated from a subset of DMRS for a first resource element in a subcarrier. The DMRS resulting signal is copied from the first resource element to a second resource element assigned to the PNT-RS in the subcarrier. The data transmission is transmitted using the DMRS resulting signal and the PNT-RS.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2023Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Martin Hessler, Robert Baldemair, Lars Lindbom, Henrik Sahlin, Niclas Wiberg

Publication number: 20240163150Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to enhance Demodulation Reference Signals (DM-RS) in order to reduce the Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) to the same level as for data symbols. To accomplish this function, the UE obtains a first initialization value that is calculated based on one of a first parameter (e.g., cell ID) and a second parameter and a scrambling code ID. The UE then maps the first initialization value to either a first Code Division Multiplexing (CDM) group or a second CDM group based on the scrambling code ID. The mapping associates the first initialization value with the first or second CDM group such that the initialization value is used when generating a demodulation sequence for that CDM group.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2024Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Mattias Frenne, Lars Lindbom
