CHANGING THE PHASE TRACKING REFERENCE SIGNAL (PTRS) PATTERN OVER DIFFERENT SYMBOLS

Abstract:

Aspects of the present disclosure can be implemented in a method for wireless communication by a first wireless node, such as a user equipment (UE) or network entity. The method generally includes identifying different patterns of phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) tones for receiving a PTRS, determining when to change at least one of the different patterns of the PTRS tones from one symbol to another, and monitoring for one or more symbols of the PTRS, from a second wireless node, according to the determination.
