  • Patent number: 11303422
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) includes a transmitter that transmits, to a base station (BS), Demodulation Reference Signals (DM-RSs) using Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT)-spread (s)-Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM). The resource elements (REs) that do not multiplex the DM-RSs in an OFDM symbol are set as Null. The transmission power for transmission of the DM-RSs is different from transmission power for transmission of normal DM-RSs. The normal DM-RS is a DM-RS using a Cyclic Prefix (CP)-OFDM. The UE further includes a processor that determines the transmission power for the DM-RSs based on a reciprocal of frequency multiplexing density of the DM-RSs. The transmission power for the DM-RSs is two times more than the normal DM-RSs when a configuration of the DM-RSs is a DM-RS configuration type 1. The transmission power for the DM-RSs is three times more than the normal DM-RSs when a configuration of the DM-RSs is a DM-RS configuration type 2.

  • Patent number: 11159269
    Abstract: A method of acquiring Channel State Information (CSI) includes transmitting, from a Transmission and Reception Point (TRP) to a User Equipment (UE), information indicating that both of a Resource setting and a CSI reporting setting are commonly set to activation or deactivation. The Resource setting being set to the activation causes the UE to assume that CSI-Reference Signals (RSs) are to be transmitted from the TRP. The CSI reporting setting being set to the activation triggers the UE to perform CSI reporting. The method further includes receiving, with the UE, the CSI-RSs transmitted in accordance with a predetermined type of time domain behavior when the Resource setting is set to the activation. The method further includes performing, with the UE, the CSI reporting in accordance with the predetermined type of time domain behavior when the CSI reporting setting is set to activation.
