  • Patent number: 11424889
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first wireless device may identify a reference signal sequence (e.g., a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) sequence) based on a cyclic shift associated with a control channel for communications with a second wireless device. For example, the first wireless device may identify the cyclic shift associated with transmitting a message to the second wireless device via the control channel. In another example, the first wireless device may estimate the cyclic shift associated with receiving a message from the second wireless device via the control channel. The first wireless device may then communicate with the second wireless device based on the reference signal sequence. For example, the first wireless device may transmit or receive (e.g., via a shared channel) the reference signal sequence to or from the second wireless device.
