SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INITIALIZATION OF A SCRAMBLING SEQUENCE FOR A DOWNLINK REFERENCE SIGNAL

摘要

A system and method for initialing a scrambling sequence for a downlink reference signal in a Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) system. The system and method include initializing at the start of a radio frame, a scrambling sequence generator that initializes a seed of a scrambling sequence for downlink cell-specific reference signals for the LTE-A component carriers. The initialization seed is based on the component carrier ID. The system and method can transmit the reference signal in filler bands located between at least two component carriers in the LTE-A system.
