APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING/RECEIVING REFERENCE SIGNAL IN A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

An apparatus and method for transmitting/receiving a reference signal in a communication system are provided, in which a transmitter determines first and second different transmit power values for first and second pilot tones residing in one of the substantially same time resource and the substantially same frequency resource among pilot tones included in a data area in a subframe having time and frequency resources, and transmits the first pilot tone with the first transmit power value and the second pilot tone with the second transmit power value. The first transmit power may be a reference transmit power value and the second transmit power may be a product between a weight and the reference transmit power value.
