Efficient mutiplexing of reference signal and data in a wireless communication system

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for sending at least one reference signal on assigned resources using at least one cyclic shift of a base sequence;
• and
• means for sending data on the assigned resources using at least one other cyclic shift of the base sequence.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• at least one processor configured to send at least one reference signal on assigned resources using at least one cyclic shift of a base sequence, and to send data on the assigned resources using at least one other cyclic shift of the base sequence.

A computer program product, comprising:

• a computer-readable medium comprising:
• code for causing at least one computer to send at least one reference signal on assigned resources using at least one cyclic shift of a base sequence, and
• code for causing the at least one computer to send data on the assigned resources using at least one other cyclic shift of the base sequence.

A method for wireless communication, comprising:

• receiving at least one reference signal sent by a user equipment (UE) on assigned resources using at least one cyclic shift of a base sequence;
• and
• receiving data sent by the UE on the assigned resources using at least one other cyclic shift of the base sequence.
