PHASE TRACKING REFERENCE SIGNAL (PTRS) ALLOCATION FOR MULTI-SYMBOL DEMODULATION REFERENCE SIGNALS (DMRS)

Abstract:

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for wireless communication. In one aspect of the disclosure, a method of wireless communication includes receiving, at a user equipment (UE) from a network entity or a second UE, multiple demodulation reference signals (DMRSs) including a first set of DMRSs allocated to a first DMRS symbol and a first subset of subcarriers and a second set of DMRSs allocated to a second DMRS symbol and a second subset of subcarriers. The method also includes receiving, from the network entity or the second UE, a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) associated with the multiple DMRSs. The method further includes performing channel estimation based on the multiple DMRSs and a phase tracking process based on the multiple DMRSs and the PTRS. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
