Abstract

A user equipment (1250; 2950), UE, comprises an antenna (1270), a transceiver (1280), a processor (1260) and a memory (1290) storing information for operating the processor (1260). The processor (1260) is configured to cause the UE (1250; 2950) to: determine three sets of antenna ports for demodulation reference signal, DM-RS, reception, wherein a first set of antenna ports of the three sets is a subset of antenna ports of a first code division multiplexing, CDM, group, wherein a second set of antenna ports of the three sets is a subset of antenna ports of a second CDM group, wherein a third set of antenna ports of the three sets is a subset of antenna ports of a third CDM group, wherein the first CDM group comprises four different antenna ports, wherein the second CDM group comprises four different antenna ports, and wherein the third CDM group comprises four different antenna ports; determine, for the first CDM group, first adjacent resource elements, wherein the first adjacent resource elements correspond to two adjacent symbols in a time axis and to first two adjacent subcarriers in a frequency axis; determine, for the second CDM group, second adjacent resource elements, wherein the second adjacent resource elements correspond to the two adjacent symbols in the time axis and to second two adjacent subcarriers in the frequency axis; determine, for the third CDM group, third adjacent resource elements, wherein the third adjacent resource elements correspond to the two adjacent symbols in the time axis and to third two adjacent subcarriers in the frequency axis; and receive, based on orthogonal cover codes applied to the first adjacent resource elements, a DM-RS associated with the first set of antenna ports. The orthogonal cover codes applied to the first adjacent resource elements comprise: first values, [+1, +1, +1, +1], applied to four resource elements of the first adjacent resource elements, respectively, for first antenna port of the first CDM group, second values, [+1, -1, +1, -1], applied to the four resource elements of the first adjacent resource elements, respectively, for second antenna port of the first CDM group, third values, [+1, +1, -1, -1], applied to the four resource elements of the first adjacent resource elements, respectively, for third antenna port of the first CDM group, and fourth values, [+1, -1, -1, +1], applied to the four resource elements of the first adjacent resource elements, respectively, for fourth antenna port of the first CDM group.
