1-51. (canceled)
A method of transmitting data to a network node, the method comprising:
- selecting a plurality of reference signal symbols based on data to be transmitted to the network node, wherein the plurality of reference signal symbols correspond to a first antenna port;
- transmitting the reference signal symbols to the network node;
- and
- for each of one or more further antenna ports, transmitting further reference signal symbols to the network node.
A method of receiving data from a network node, the method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of reference signal symbols from the network node, wherein the plurality of reference signal symbols correspond to a first antenna port, for each of one or more further antenna ports, receiving further reference signal symbols from the network node;
- and
- determining, based on the reference signal symbols, the data transmitted by the network node.
An apparatus for transmitting data to a network node, the apparatus comprising a processor and a memory, the memory containing instructions executable by the processor such that the apparatus is operable to:
- select a plurality of reference signal symbols based on data to be transmitted to the network node, wherein the plurality of reference signal symbols correspond to a first antenna port;
- and
- transmit the reference signal symbols to the network node, and for each of one or more further antenna ports, transmitting further reference signal symbols to the network node.
An apparatus for receiving data from a network node, the apparatus comprising a processor and a memory, the memory containing instructions executable by the processor such that the apparatus is operable to:
