Power imbalance solutions for multiple input multiple output transmissions

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A transmitting device may identify multiple demodulation reference signal (DMRS) symbols corresponding to multiple DMRS ports of a multiple input multiple output configuration. The transmitting device may generate multiple phase-rotated and precoded DMRS symbols by applying an orthogonal cover code, a phase rotation scheme, and a precoding matrix to the identified DMRS symbols. The transmitting device may map the phase-rotated and precoded DMRS symbols to time-frequency resources corresponding to multiple antenna ports, and transmit a DMRS based on the mapped phase-rotated and precoded DMRS symbols. The transmitting device may transmit the DMRS using multiple antennas that correspond to the antenna ports.
