Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, and in particular, to a method for transmitting a phase tracking reference signal, an electronic device, and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Phase noise is the random change of the phase of the system output signal caused by the action of noise such as random white noise and flicker noise in radio frequency devices. This change will deteriorate the signal-to-noise ratio (SIGNAL-NOISE RATIO, SNR) or error vector magnitude (Error Vector Magnitude, EVM) at the receiving end, resulting in an increase in the error code rate and limiting the use of high-order modulation, thereby affecting the system capacity. As the operating frequency increases, especially in the millimeter-wave band, the impact of phase noise also increases significantly. To address this challenge, mobile communication systems need to introduce phase tracking reference signals (Phase Tracking Reference Signals, PTRS) and phase estimation compensation algorithms. PTRS is associated with the demodulation reference signal port of the demodulation reference signal during transmission and exists in the uplink channel (Physical Uplink Shared Channel, PUSH) and the downlink channel (Physical Downlink Shared Channel, PDSCH). How to effectively reduce the impact of phase noise on the system performance by introducing PTRS and phase estimation compensation algorithms and achieve high-speed and stable wireless communication services has become an urgent problem to be solved currently.

[0030] In subsequent descriptions, suffixes such as "module", "component", or "unit" used to represent elements are only for the convenience of describing the present application, and they have no specific meaning by themselves. Therefore, "module", "component", or "unit" can be used interchangeably.

[0031] Figure 1The figure is a flowchart of a method for transmitting a phase-tracking reference signal provided by an embodiment of the present application. The embodiment of the present application is applicable to the case of transmitting a phase-tracking reference signal. This method can be executed by a phase-tracking reference signal transmission device, which can be implemented by software and / or hardware methods and is generally integrated in a base station or a terminal device. As Figure 1 shown, the method provided by the embodiment of the present application specifically includes the following steps:

[0032] Step 110: Transmit the demodulation reference signal of the demodulation reference signal port of the physical data channel on X subcarriers in a first time-domain symbol.

[0033] Among them, the first time-domain symbol can be a time-domain symbol for transmitting a demodulation reference signal. The subcarriers for transmitting the demodulation reference signal on the first time-domain symbol are one or more. The demodulation reference signal can be used for the demodulation reference signal port of the physical data channel. A subcarrier can be referred to as a resource element (RE).

[0034] In the embodiment of the present application, the first node can transmit a demodulation reference signal on X subcarriers in the first time-domain symbol, and the demodulation reference signal corresponds to the demodulation reference signal port of the physical data channel.

[0035] Step 120: Transmit a phase-tracking reference signal associated with the demodulation reference signal port on Y subcarriers in a second time-domain symbol; where X is an integer greater than 0, Y is an integer greater than 0 and less than or equal to X, and the frequency-domain positions of the Y subcarriers are a subset of the frequency-domain positions of the X subcarriers.

[0036] Among them, the second time-domain symbol can be a time-domain symbol with a different time-domain position from the first time-domain symbol. The frequency-domain positions of the subcarriers included in the second time-domain symbol can be a subset of the frequency-domain positions of the subcarriers of the first time-domain symbol.

[0037] Specifically, the first node can also transmit a phase-tracking reference signal on Y subcarriers in the second time-domain symbol. The phase-tracking reference signal can be associated with the demodulation reference signal port transmitted on the first time-domain symbol. Then, the frequency-domain positions of the Y subcarriers can be a subset of the frequency-domain positions of the X subcarriers.

[0038] Exemplarily, referring to Figure 2 , the first node can transmit the demodulation reference signal of DMRS port 0 of the physical data channel to the second node on subcarriers 0 / 2 / 4 / 6 / 8 in the first time-domain symbol, and the first node can transmit the phase-tracking reference signal associated with DMRS port 0 to the second node on subcarriers 0 / 4 / 8 in the second time-domain.

[0039] In some application embodiments, only demodulation reference signals are sent on X1 subcarriers among the X subcarriers, demodulation reference signals and data are sent on X2 subcarriers, and the frequency domain positions of the Y subcarriers are a subset of the frequency domain positions of the X1 subcarriers.

[0040] In an embodiment of the present application, the first node sends only a demodulation reference signal on X1 subcarriers among the X subcarriers, for example, only sends the demodulation reference signal of the demodulation reference signal port, and may also send the demodulation reference signal of the demodulation reference signal port and the demodulation reference signal of other demodulation reference signal ports, and sends the demodulation reference signal and data on X2 subcarriers among the X subcarriers, for example, the demodulation reference signal and data may include only sending the demodulation reference signal of the demodulation reference signal port and its corresponding data, and may also send the demodulation reference signal of the demodulation reference signal port, the data associated with the demodulation reference signal port, the demodulation reference signal of other demodulation reference signal ports, and the data associated with the demodulation reference signal port includes the same precoding used for sending the demodulation reference signal on the demodulation reference signal port. The frequency domain positions of the Y subcarriers for which the first node transmits the phase tracking reference signal associated with the demodulation reference signal port may be a subset of the frequency domain positions of the X1 subcarriers.

[0041] In an exemplary embodiment, see Figure 3 , the first node can use subcarriers 0 / 2 / 4 / 6 / 8 to send the demodulation reference signal of the physical data channel DMRS port 0 to the second node on the first time domain symbol, and the first node can use subcarriers 0 / 4 / 8 to send the phase tracking reference signal associated with DMRS port 0 to the second node in the second time domain. If only the demodulation reference signal is sent on subcarriers 0 / 2 / 6 / 8 among the 5 subcarriers, the demodulation reference signal may include only sending the demodulation reference signal port 0, and may also include sending the demodulation reference signal port 0 and the demodulation reference signals of other demodulation reference signal ports, such as the demodulation reference signal that has been precoded. When the demodulation reference signal and data are sent on subcarrier 4, the available subcarriers of the phase noise reference signal on the second time domain symbol are a subset of subcarriers 0 / 2 / 6 / 8, such as subcarriers 0 and 8. It is worth noting that the full set is a special subset, that is, it can also be used in some embodiments.

[0042] In some application embodiments, only demodulation reference signals are sent on X1 subcarriers among the X subcarriers, demodulation reference signals and data are sent on X2 subcarriers, and at least one frequency domain position among the frequency domain positions of the Y subcarriers is the same as one frequency domain position among the frequency domain positions of the X1 subcarriers.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present application, the first node only transmits demodulation reference signals on X1 subcarriers among X subcarriers, and transmits demodulation reference signals and data on X2 subcarriers among the X subcarriers. At least one of the frequency domain positions of the Y subcarriers on which the first node transmits phase tracking reference signals associated with the demodulation reference signal ports is the same as one of the frequency domain positions of the X1 subcarriers.

[0044] In an exemplary embodiment, refer to Figure 4 , the first node may use subcarriers 0 / 2 / 4 / 6 / 8 on the first time domain symbol to transmit the demodulation reference signals of physical data channel DMRS port 0 to the second node. The first node uses subcarriers 0 / 4 / 8 on the second time domain to transmit the phase tracking reference signals associated with DMRS port 0 to the second node. If only demodulation reference signals are transmitted on subcarriers 0 / 2 / 6 / 8 among the 5 subcarriers, the demodulation reference signals may include only the demodulation reference signals of port 0, or may include the demodulation reference signals of port 0 and the demodulation reference signals of other demodulation reference signal ports. When demodulation reference signals and data are transmitted on subcarrier 4, at least one of the subcarriers used for the phase noise reference signal on the second time domain symbol comes from subcarriers 0 / 2 / 6 / 8, such as subcarrier 0.

[0045] In some embodiments of the application, all the subcarriers that transmit demodulation reference signals transmit both demodulation reference signals and data, and among the X subcarriers, the number of data bits carried on X3 subcarriers is less than the number of data bits carried on other subcarriers among the X subcarriers. The frequency domain positions of the Y subcarriers are a subset of the frequency domain positions of the X3 subcarriers.

[0046] In an embodiment of the present application, all the X subcarriers that transmit demodulation reference signals transmit demodulation reference information and data. Among the X subcarriers, the amount of data carried on X3 subcarriers is less than the amount of data written on other subcarriers among the X subcarriers. The frequency domain positions of the Y subcarriers on which the first node transmits phase tracking reference signals associated with the demodulation reference signal ports may be a subset of the frequency domain positions of the X3 subcarriers, that is, the frequency domain positions of the Y subcarriers may be a subset of the frequency domain positions of the subcarriers with a smaller number of data bits carried.

[0047] In an exemplary embodiment, refer to Figure 5, the first node may transmit the demodulation reference signal of physical data channel DMRS port 0 to the second node on subcarriers 0 / 2 / 4 / 6 / 8 in the first time-domain symbol. The first node transmits the phase-tracking reference signal associated with DMRS port 0 to the second node on subcarriers 0 / 4 / 8 in the second time domain. If all of the 5 subcarriers 0 / 2 / 4 / 6 / 8 for transmitting the demodulation reference signal carry both the demodulation reference signal and data, and the number of data bits carried on subcarriers 2 / 6 (from the data bit stream obtained after coding) is less than or equal to the number of data bits carried on subcarriers 0 / 4 / 8 (from the data bit stream obtained after coding), then the available subcarriers of the phase noise reference signal in the second time-domain symbol are a subset of subcarriers 2 / 6, such as subcarrier 2.

[0048] In some application embodiments, all of the subcarriers for transmitting the demodulation reference signal among the X subcarriers carry both the demodulation reference signal and data, and among the X subcarriers, the number of data bits carried on X3 subcarriers is less than the number of data bits carried on the other subcarriers among the X subcarriers. At least one of the frequency-domain positions of the Y subcarriers is the same as one of the frequency-domain positions of the X1 subcarriers.

[0049] In the embodiments of the present application, all of the X subcarriers for transmitting the demodulation reference signal transmit both the demodulation reference information and data. Among the X subcarriers, the amount of data carried on X3 subcarriers is less than the amount of data written on the other subcarriers among the X subcarriers. At least one of the frequency-domain positions of the Y subcarriers for the first node to transmit the phase-tracking reference signal associated with the demodulation reference signal port may be the same as the frequency-domain positions of the X3 subcarriers.

[0050] In an exemplary embodiment, refer to Figure 6 , the first node may transmit the demodulation reference signal of physical data channel DMRS port 0 to the second node on subcarriers 0 / 2 / 4 / 6 / 8 in the first time-domain symbol. The first node transmits the phase-tracking reference signal associated with DMRS port 0 to the second node on subcarriers 0 / 4 / 8 in the second time domain. If all of the 5 subcarriers 0 / 2 / 4 / 6 / 8 for transmitting the demodulation reference signal carry both the demodulation reference signal and data, and the number of data bits carried on subcarriers 2 / 6 (from the data bit stream obtained after coding) is less than or equal to the number of data bits carried on subcarriers 0 / 4 / 8 (from the data bit stream obtained after coding), then the available subcarriers of the phase noise reference signal in the second time-domain symbol include at least one of subcarriers 2 or 6, such as subcarrier 2.

[0051] In some application embodiments, it further includes at least one of the following: determining at least one of the time-domain density, the number of time-domain symbols, and the time-domain position of the transmission phase tracking reference signal based at least on the constellation mapping method corresponding to the modulation order of the data carried on the physical data channel; determining at least one of the subcarrier density, the number of subcarriers, and the subcarrier position of the transmission phase tracking parameter signal based at least on the constellation mapping method corresponding to the modulation order of the data carried on the physical data channel.

[0052] In the embodiments of the present application, information such as the subcarrier density (or frequency-domain density), the number of subcarriers (or frequency-domain number), and the subcarrier position (or frequency-domain position) of the phase tracking reference signal can be determined by the constellation mapping method corresponding to the modulation order of the data carried on the physical data channel. Different constellation mapping methods can configure at least one of the subcarrier density, the number of subcarriers, and the subcarrier position of the phase tracking reference signal, or different constellation mapping methods can configure at least one of the frequency-domain density, the frequency-domain number, and the frequency-domain position. The constellation mapping method can be determined by the modulation order of the data carried on the physical data channel.

[0053] In an exemplary embodiment, refer to Figure 7 , the first node determines at least one of the time-domain density, the number of time-domain symbols, and the time-domain position of the transmission phase tracking reference signal according to the constellation mapping method corresponding to the modulation order of the data carried on the physical data channel. For example, for the 256QAM modulation method, there are multiple constellation mapping methods. In the standard 256QAM constellation diagram, the distance between adjacent constellation points is equal. However, the 256QAM constellation diagram obtained by shaping through geometric or artificial intelligence techniques usually involves reducing the occurrence frequency of the outer-ring constellation points (i.e., points with larger amplitudes) and increasing the occurrence frequency of the inner-ring constellation points. This is beneficial for reducing the average power, which is equivalent to increasing the minimum Euclidean distance, thereby improving the transmission performance. Different constellation mapping methods can be configured with different information such as the time-domain density, the number of time-domain symbols, and the time-domain position of the phase tracking reference signal. For example, the constellation mapping method is determined through the first table, and at least one of the time-domain density, the number of time-domain symbols, and the time-domain position of the phase tracking reference signal is determined through the second table according to the constellation mapping method determined by the first table. Alternatively, the constellation mapping method and the time-domain density index value of the phase reference signal are notified to the first node through RRC signaling, MAC signaling, DCI signaling, or a combination thereof. The first node determines the value of the time-domain density index value based on the constellation mapping method. For example, for the same index value, the value of the time-domain density corresponding to the 256QAM standard constellation diagram is 4, and the value of the time-domain density corresponding to the 256QAM shaped constellation diagram is 2.

[0054] Alternatively, the first node determines at least one of the subcarrier density, the number of subcarriers, and the subcarrier position for transmitting the phase tracking reference signal based at least on the constellation mapping method corresponding to the modulation order of the data carried on the physical data channel. For example, the constellation mapping method is determined through the first table, and at least one of the subcarrier density, the number of subcarriers, or the subcarrier position of the phase tracking reference signal is determined through the second table according to the constellation mapping method determined by the first table. Alternatively, the constellation mapping method and the phase reference signal subcarrier density (frequency domain density) index value are notified to the first node through RRC signaling, MAC signaling, DCI signaling, or a combination thereof. The first node determines the value of the phase reference signal subcarrier density index value based on the constellation mapping method. For example, for the same index value, the value of the frequency domain density corresponding to the 256QAM standard constellation is 2, and the value of the frequency domain density corresponding to the 256QAM shaped constellation is 1.

[0055] In some embodiments of the application, whether the data and / or signals on the other demodulation reference signal ports of the first node are carried on the subcarriers used for the phase tracking reference signal are determined through negotiation with the second node that receives the phase tracking reference signal or are default-configured.

[0056] In the embodiments of the present application, whether the data and / or signals on the other demodulation reference signal ports of the first node can be carried on the subcarriers used for the phase tracking reference signal can be determined through negotiation between the first node and the second node, or can be default-configured within the first node.

[0057] In an exemplary embodiment, the first node may use subcarriers 0 / 2 / 4 / 6 / 8 on the first time domain symbol to transmit the demodulation reference signal of the physical data channel DMRS port 0 to the second node, and the first node uses subcarriers 0 / 4 / 8 on the second time domain to transmit the phase tracking reference signal associated with DMRS port 0 to the second node. Among them, whether the data and / or signals on the other demodulation reference signal ports of the first node are carried on the subcarriers used for the phase noise reference signal are determined through negotiation between the first node and the second node that receives the phase noise reference signal, or through default configuration. For example, whether the data information of the layer corresponding to DMRS port 0, the data information of the layers corresponding to other DMRS demodulation reference signal ports, the DMRS sequences of other DMRS demodulation reference signal ports, the PTRS sequences of other PTRS demodulation reference signal ports, or the SRS sequence are also carried on the subcarriers used for the phase noise reference signal can be determined through default configuration or through negotiation between the first node and the second node.

[0058] In some application embodiments, the demodulation reference signal and data of the demodulation reference signal port are transmitted on the subcarriers of the first time-frequency domain symbol corresponding to the Y subcarrier frequency domain positions. The content of the phase tracking reference signal associated with the demodulation reference signal port transmitted on the Y subcarriers is the demodulation reference signal of the demodulation reference signal port in the first time domain symbol and the demodulation reference signal of the demodulation reference signal port transmitted on the subcarriers corresponding to the Y subcarrier frequency domain positions. Alternatively, the content of the phase tracking reference signal associated with the demodulation reference signal port transmitted on the Y subcarriers is the demodulation reference signal of the demodulation reference signal port in the first time domain symbol, and the demodulation reference signal and data of the demodulation reference signal port transmitted on the subcarriers corresponding to the Y subcarrier frequency domain positions.

[0059] In the embodiments of the present application, the content transmitted by the first node on the subcarriers corresponding to the Y subcarriers of the second time domain symbol among the X subcarriers of the first time domain symbol is the demodulation reference signal of the demodulation reference signal port and the data. The content of the phase tracking reference signal associated with the demodulation reference signal port transmitted on the Y subcarriers corresponding to the X subcarriers in the frequency domain position is the demodulation reference signal of the demodulation reference channel port in the first time domain symbol, and the demodulation reference signal corresponding to the demodulation reference signal port transmitted on the subcarriers corresponding to the Y subcarrier frequency domain positions. Alternatively, the content of the phase tracking reference signal associated with the demodulation reference signal port transmitted on the Y subcarriers corresponding to the X subcarriers in the frequency domain position is the demodulation reference signal of the demodulation reference channel port in the first time domain symbol, and the demodulation reference signal and data corresponding to the demodulation reference signal port transmitted on the subcarriers corresponding to the Y subcarrier frequency domain positions. Herein, the data may be data associated with the demodulation reference signal port or data associated with one or more other demodulation reference signal ports.

[0060] In an exemplary embodiment, the first node may send the demodulation reference signal of physical data channel DMRS port 0 to the second node using subcarriers 0 / 2 / 4 / 6 / 8 on the first time-domain symbol. The first node sends the phase-tracking reference signal associated with DMRS port 0 to the second node using subcarriers 0 / 4 / 8 on the second time domain. If the first node sends the demodulation reference signal and data of DMRS port 0 (data that may belong to the same layer as the demodulation reference signal and / or data of different layers) on the subcarriers of the first time-domain symbol corresponding to the Y subcarrier frequency-domain positions, then the content of the phase-tracking reference signal associated with DMRS port 0 sent on the Y subcarriers is the demodulation reference signal of DMRS port 0 sent on the subcarriers of the first time-domain symbol and corresponding to the Y subcarrier frequency-domain positions, or the content of the phase-tracking reference signal associated with DMRS port 0 sent on the Y subcarriers is the demodulation reference signal and data of DMRS port 0 sent on the subcarriers of the first time-domain symbol and corresponding to the Y subcarrier frequency-domain positions. For example, if the demodulation reference signal X and data D of DMRS port 0 are sent on subcarrier 0 of the first time-domain symbol, then the phase noise reference signal sent on subcarrier 0 of the second time-domain symbol may be X or the demodulation reference signal and data of DMRS port 0.

[0061] In some application embodiments, the content of the demodulation reference signal port sent on the subcarriers of the first time-domain symbol corresponding to the Y subcarrier frequency-domain positions is different from the content of the phase-tracking reference signal associated with the demodulation reference signal port sent on the Y subcarriers. Among the set of time-domain symbols allocated to the physical data channel, the number of time-domain symbols between any two adjacent time-domain symbols sending the phase-tracking reference signal is one of the three values of a fixed value F or H, (H + 1), and (H + 2), where F and H are integers greater than or equal to 0.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present application, the content of the port of the demodulation reference signal transmitted by the first node on the subcarriers corresponding to the Y subcarrier frequency domain positions in the first time domain symbol is different from the content of the phase tracking reference signal associated with the port of the demodulation reference signal transmitted by the first node on the Y subcarriers. Among them, the content of the port of the demodulation reference signal transmitted by the first node on the subcarriers of the first time domain symbol corresponding to the Y subcarrier frequency domain positions may include the demodulation reference signal and data corresponding to the demodulation reference signal port, while the content of the phase tracking reference signal associated with the port of the demodulation reference signal transmitted on the Y subcarriers may include the demodulation reference signal at the corresponding position of the demodulation reference signal port. The number of time domain symbols between any two adjacent time domain symbols transmitted to the phase tracking reference signal in the set of time domain symbols allocated to the physical data channel is a fixed value F. That is, the number of time domain symbols between any two adjacent time domain symbols in the set of time domain symbols allocated to the physical data channel is equal and is a fixed value F; or, the number of time domain symbols between any two adjacent time domain symbols transmitted to the phase tracking reference signal in the set of time domain symbols allocated to the physical data channel is one of the three values H, (H + 1), and (H + 2). That is, the number of time domain symbols between any two adjacent time domain symbols in the set of time domain symbols allocated to the physical data channel may be different, but the specific value may be one of the three values H, (H + 1), and (H + 2), where F and H are integers greater than or equal to 0.

[0063] In an exemplary embodiment, the first node may transmit the demodulation reference signal of physical data channel DMRS port 0 to the second node using subcarriers 0 / 2 / 4 / 6 / 8 on the first time-domain symbol. The first node transmits the phase-tracking reference signal associated with DMRS port 0 to the second node using subcarriers 0 / 4 / 8 on the second time domain. If the content of DMRS port 0 transmitted by the first node on the subcarriers of the first time-domain symbol corresponding to the Y subcarrier frequency-domain positions is different from the content of the phase-noise reference signal associated with the demodulation reference signal port transmitted by the first node on the Y subcarriers, then in the set of time-domain symbols allocated to the physical data channel, the number of time-domain symbols between any two adjacent time-domain symbols transmitting the phase-tracking reference signal is a fixed value F, or one of the three values H, (H + 1), (H + 2), where F and H are integers greater than or equal to 0. For example, if the time-domain symbols allocated to the physical data channel are time-domain symbol 0 to time-domain symbol 8, and the phase-tracking reference signal is transmitted on time-domain symbols 1, 3, 5, 7, then the value of F is 1.

The embodiments of the present application are applicable to the case of transmitting a phase-tracking reference signal. This method may be executed by a phase-tracking reference signal transmission device, and the device may be implemented by software and / or hardware methods and is generally integrated in a base station or a terminal device. As Figure 8 shown, the method provided by the embodiments of the present application specifically includes the following steps:

[0070] Step 210: Receive the demodulation reference signal of the demodulation reference signal port of the physical data channel transmitted by the first node using X subcarriers on the first time-domain symbol.

[0071] In the embodiments of the present application, the first node may transmit the demodulation reference signal to the second node using X subcarriers on the first time-domain symbol, and the second node may receive the demodulation reference information transmitted by the first node. The demodulation reference signal corresponds to the demodulation reference signal port of the physical data channel.

[0072] Step 220: Receive the phase-tracking reference signal associated with the demodulation reference signal port transmitted by the first node using Y subcarriers on the second time-domain symbol; where X is an integer greater than 0, Y is an integer greater than 0 and less than or equal to X, and the frequency-domain positions of the Y subcarriers are a subset of the frequency-domain positions of the X subcarriers.

[0073] Specifically, the second node may receive a phase tracking reference signal sent by the first node on Y subcarriers in a second time domain symbol. The phase tracking reference signal may be associated with a demodulation reference signal port sent on a demodulation reference signal transmitted in a first time domain symbol. Then, the frequency domain positions of the Y subcarriers may be a subset of the frequency domain positions of the X subcarriers.

[0074] In some application embodiments, among the X subcarriers, there are X1 subcarriers that only transmit demodulation reference signals, and there are X2 subcarriers that transmit demodulation reference signals and data. The frequency domain positions of the Y subcarriers are a subset of the frequency domain positions of the X1 subcarriers.

[0075] In some application embodiments, among the X subcarriers, there are X1 subcarriers that only transmit demodulation reference signals, and there are X2 subcarriers that transmit demodulation reference signals and data. At least one of the frequency domain positions of the Y subcarriers is the same as one of the frequency domain positions of the X1 subcarriers.

[0076] In some application embodiments, all the subcarriers that transmit demodulation reference signals among the X subcarriers transmit both demodulation reference signals and data, and among the X subcarriers, there are X3 subcarriers on which the number of data bits carried is less than the number of data bits carried on other subcarriers of the X subcarriers. The frequency domain positions of the Y subcarriers are a subset of the frequency domain positions of the X3 subcarriers.

[0077] In some application embodiments, all the subcarriers that transmit demodulation reference signals among the X subcarriers transmit both demodulation reference signals and data, and among the X subcarriers, there are X3 subcarriers on which the number of data bits carried is less than the number of data bits carried on other subcarriers of the X subcarriers.

[0081] In some application embodiments, whether the subcarriers used for the phase tracking reference signal carry data and / or signals on other demodulation reference signal ports of the first node is determined through negotiation with the first node that sends the phase tracking reference signal or is default-configured.

[0082] In some application embodiments, the demodulation reference signal and data of the demodulation reference signal port are transmitted on the subcarriers of the first time-frequency domain symbol corresponding to the Y subcarrier frequency domain positions. The content of the phase tracking reference signal associated with the demodulation reference signal port transmitted on the Y subcarriers is the demodulation reference signal of the demodulation reference signal port in the first time domain symbol and the demodulation reference signal transmitted on the subcarriers corresponding to the Y subcarrier frequency domain positions. Alternatively, the content of the phase tracking reference signal associated with the demodulation reference signal port transmitted on the Y subcarriers is the demodulation reference signal of the demodulation reference signal port in the first time domain symbol and the demodulation reference signal and data transmitted on the subcarriers corresponding to the Y subcarrier frequency domain positions.

[0083] In some application embodiments, the content of the demodulation reference signal port transmitted on the subcarriers of the first time domain symbol corresponding to the Y subcarrier frequency domain positions is different from the content of the phase tracking reference signal associated with the demodulation reference signal port transmitted on the Y subcarriers. Among the set of time domain symbols allocated to the physical data channel, the number of time domain symbols between any two adjacent time domain symbols transmitting the phase tracking reference signal is a fixed value of F or one of the three values of H, (H + 1), and (H + 2), where F and H are integers greater than or equal to 0.

[0084] In some application embodiments, it further includes: retransmission of the data of the physical data channel, and the number of time domain symbols of the phase tracking reference signal used for retransmission is greater than or equal to the number of time domain symbols of the phase tracking reference signal used for the first transmission;
