The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution (LTE) uplink supports only a single antenna transmission. However, in order to improve the uplink spectrum efficiency, support multiple antenna transmission in LTE-Advanced. Meanwhile, taking into account backwards compatibility for LTE. LTE-Advanced De-Modulation Reference Signal (DMRS) needs to be designed [1]. According to requirement of LTE-Advanced uplink pilot design, introducing orthogonal cover code (OCC) as a supplement, analysis and study of the current problems, proposes a Circular Shift (CS), Group/Sequence Hopping (GSH) and the OCC joint instructions method of pilot design. Finally, simulation and analysis of the performance of this scheme. Results show that this scheme can meet LTE-Advanced demand for pilot design well.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
