 UL REF SIGNALS
Uplink Reference Signal – There are three different kind of UL Reference
signals in 5G –
DMRS – Demodulation reference signal for PUSCH and PUCCH – The DMRS is
specific for specific UE and is used to estimate the radio channel.
PTRS – Phase Tracking reference signal – The phase noise of a transmitter
increases as the frequency of operation increases. The PTRS plays a crucial
role especially at mm Wave frequencies to minimize the effect of the
oscillator phase noise on system performance
SRS – Sounding Reference Signal – It is transmitted by the UE to help
the gNB obtain the channel state information (CSI) for each user. Channel
State Information describes how the NR signal propagates from the UE to the
gNB and represents the combined effect of scattering, fading, and power
decay with distance. The system uses the SRS for resource scheduling, link
adaptation, Massive MIMO, and beam management.
