Adaptive Reference Signal Mapping in Wireless Multi-Access Communication Networks

摘要

Embodiments provide systems and methods for adaptive reference signal mapping in wireless multi-access communication networks, including LTE, WLAN, WiMAX, Bluetooth, etc. In an embodiment, the reference signal mapping configuration is user equipment (UE) specific and can be configured semi-statically or dynamically according to one or more communication related parameters of the UE. The one or more parameters can include, without limitation, a modulation scheme used for communication with the UE, a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) used for communication with the UE, a distance of the UE relative to the base station, an antenna configuration at the UE, interference management capability of the UE, and a rank of the UE.

主权项

1. A base station, comprising:
a memory configured to store a plurality of reference signal mapping configurations; and a processor, coupled to the memory, configured to:
determine one or more communication related parameters associated with a user equipment;identify a first reference signal mapping configuration from among the plurality of reference signal mapping configurations stored in the memory based at least in part on the determined one or more communication related parameters; andembed a plurality of reference signal bits within a user data bit stream for the user equipment in accordance with the first reference signal mapping configuration to generate a combined bit stream.
