METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR TIME AND FREQUENCY TRACKING REFERENCE SIGNAL USE IN NEW RADIO

摘要

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for time and frequency tracking reference signal (TRS) use in new radio (NR) are provided. One method may include defining an information element as a part of a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource set definition to indicate, to a user equipment, the channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource(s) or synchronization signal block (SSB) resources used for tracking reference signal (TRS) purposes. The method may then include transmitting the information element to the user equipment to make it aware of the channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resources within one or more channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource sets targeted for tracking reference signal (TRS) specific operation.
