Abstract: Techniques and examples of tracking reference signal and framework thereof in mobile communications are described. A user equipment (UE) receives, from a base station of a network, a reference signal via a communication link between the UE and the base station. The reference signal contains resource configuration with respect to tracking reference signal (TRS) configuration. The UE also receives, from the base station, a TRS burst containing a plurality of TRS symbols with one or more components of the UE configured according to the TRS configuration. The UE processes the TRS burst to perform channel estimation, synchronization, time tracking, frequency tracking, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: A method of two-layer (Rank=2) demodulation reference signal (DMRS) based transmission scheme is proposed. The precoding matrix on a data RE can be represented as A×B. The precoding matrix on the UE-specific reference signal DMRS is A. Matrix B is the co-phasing cycling matrix. By applying the proposed co-phasing cycling matrix B for Rank=2 DMRS-based transmission scheme, the ratio of PDSCH EPRE to DMRS EPRE is equal to 0 dB, as required by the LTE specification. Further, when the DMRS power follows the precoding matrix A, UE channel estimation performance is improved.
