==UPLINK PHASE TRACKING REFERENCE SIGNALS FOR MULTIPLE TRANSMITTERS ON UPLINK SHARED CHANNELS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17886978 titled 'UPLINK PHASE TRACKING REFERENCE SIGNALS FOR MULTIPLE TRANSMITTERS ON UPLINK SHARED CHANNELS

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications that support phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) antenna port configuration and usage for up to eight transmission layers. User equipment (UE) can support up to four PTRS antenna ports and transmit capability signaling indicating the number of supported ports. The network entity can transmit control signaling indicating the number of PTRS antenna ports and their mapping to other ports like sounding reference signal (SRS) ports or demodulation reference signal (DMRS) ports. The UE can also indicate a requested number of PTRS antenna ports.

* Supports phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) antenna port configuration for up to eight transmission layers
* User equipment (UE) can support up to four PTRS antenna ports
* UE transmits capability signaling indicating the number of supported PTRS antenna ports
* Network entity transmits control signaling indicating the number of PTRS antenna ports and their mapping to other ports
* UE can indicate a requested number of PTRS antenna ports

== Potential Applications ==
* 5G and future wireless communication systems
* MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) systems
* Beamforming technologies

== Problems Solved ==
* Efficient utilization of PTRS antenna ports
* Improved signal tracking and reception
* Enhanced communication reliability and performance

== Benefits ==
* Increased data transmission capacity
* Enhanced signal quality and coverage
* Improved network efficiency and reliability


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques provide for phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) antenna port configuration and use to support a number of transmission layers (e.g., up to eight transmission layers). In some examples, a user equipment (UE) may be able to support up to four PTRS antenna ports. The UE may transmit capability signaling indicating a number of supported PTRS antenna ports (e.g., up to 4). The network entity may transmit control signaling indicating a number of PTRS antenna ports and a mapping between the PTRS antenna ports and other ports (e.g., sounding reference signal (SRS) ports or demodulation reference signal (DMRS) ports). In some examples, the UE may also indicate a requested number of PTRS antenna ports (e.g., which may be the same as or less than the supported number of PTRS antenna ports).
