SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNAL FOR DEMODULATION REFERENCE

摘要

A method of using synchronization signal as demodulation reference signal is performed at an eNB in case that the demodulation reference signal is punctured by synchronization signal in a wireless communication network. The method comprises: determining whether there is a resource element collision between the demodulation reference signal and the synchronization signal; in accordance with a determination that there is a resource element collision between the two signals: using the synchronization signal as the demodulation reference signal in a PRB pair containing the synchronization signal; and transmitting the synchronization signal as the demodulation reference signal to a UE.
