A method of designing a reference signal pattern for a network in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method comprises transmitting a plurality of cell-specific reference signal, hereinafter called CRSs, in a subframe, the subframe comprising a plurality of resource elements that are divided in time across a plurality of subcarriers to form a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexed, hereinafter called OFDM, symbols, each of the plurality of resource element occupying a predetermined amount of time on a respective one of the plurality of subcarriers (402). wherein, a first set of the plurality of CRSs is allocated to a first set of the plurality resource elements on a first symbol and a second symbol over a third subcarrier, a sixth subcarrier, a ninth subcarrier and a twelfth subcarrier. |
