System and method for measuring channel state information in a communications system

摘要

A method for operating a communications controller includes partitioning a full band signal selected from a set of orthogonal full band signals into a plurality of subband signals according to special signal frequency resource information of a special signal being transmitted by the communications controller in a manner that reduces or avoids a collision between the full band signal and the special signal, where the plurality of subband signals carries information for estimating a channel between the communications controller and a communications device. The method also includes assigning a subband associated with each subband signal in the plurality of subband signals to a respective subband time resource according to special signal time resource information of the special signal in a manner that reduces or avoids a collision between the subband and the special signal, where the assigned subband is part of a plurality of subbands.
