Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the DMRS sequence into multiple versions with different cyclic shifts. This segmentation allows the receiving device to process only the necessary sequences for channel estimation rather than handling all possible sequences, reducing computational complexity while maintaining estimation accuracy

Inventive Principle:
