METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR REFERENCE SIGNAL ALLOCATION: abstract simplified (18335502)

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18335502 Titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR REFERENCE SIGNAL ALLOCATION'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes methods and devices for allocating reference signals (RS) in a network. The methods involve determining multiple RS configurations based on different RS ports or sequences. These configurations are then allocated for uplink and downlink RS transmissions by terminal devices and the network device, respectively.

Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods and devices for reference signal allocation. In example embodiments, a method implemented in a network device is provided. According to the method, a plurality of RS configurations are determined based on at least one of the following: different RS ports, or different RS sequences of a same type. At least one first RS configuration from the plurality of RS configurations are allocated for uplink RS transmission by a terminal device served by the network device, and at least one second RS configuration from the plurality of RS configurations are allocated for downlink RS transmission by the network device.
