System and method for communicating reference signals

摘要

A method for communicating DM-RS symbols to support MIMO transmissions having five or more layers of spatial multiplexing. A first subframe is communicated carrying two leading symbols of a first length-4 OCC sequence and two leading symbols of a second length-4 OCC sequence, and a second subframe is communicated carrying two trailing symbols of the first length-4 OCC and two trailing symbols of the second length-4 OCC sequence. Optionally four length-2 OCCs can be carried in a similar manner or, alternatively, in different frequency bands or resource block pairs of a common subframe.

1. A method of communicating reference signal symbols, the method comprising:
communicating, by a wirelessly enabled device, a first subframe in a channel, the first subframe carrying a first set of symbols of a first spreading code sequence and a first set of symbols of a second spreading code sequence; and communicating a second subframe in a channel, the second subframe carrying a second set of symbols of the first spreading code and a second set of symbols of the second spreading code sequence, wherein the first set of symbols of the first spreading code sequence are excluded from the second subframe and the second set of symbols of the first spreading code sequence are excluded from the first subframe.
