  • Patent number: 11626955
    Abstract: Disclosed are short-form demodulation reference signals configured to indicate certain modulation levels of a modulation scheme, from which a receiver can measure phase noise and amplitude noise in 5G/6G. A key feature of short-form demodulation references is resource efficiency. Examples include a demodulation reference occupying just one resource element, while providing the information needed to determine all of the modulation states of the modulation scheme, as well as the current noise factors. In one embodiment, the short-form demodulation reference may include two component signals with orthogonal phase, both being amplitude modulated by the transmitter according to a maximum amplitude level. The receiver can determine the phase noise from a ratio of the two received signal amplitudes, and the amplitude noise from the magnitude of the received waveform, thereby mitigating both amplitude noise and phase noise.
