Abstract:
1. A method, comprising the steps of: dividing a transmission resource in a subframe into a plurality of equal duration resource elements in a time and frequency domain; segregating the plurality of resource elements into a plurality of resource regions, comprising at least one first resource region and at least one second resource region, each of the first resource regions and the second resource regions comprising at least one multiplexing symbol, each multiplexing symbol corresponding to a time unit, and each multiplexing symbol comprising a plurality of resource elements corresponding to respective frequency sub-carriers; modulating information to be transmitted to generate a sequence of modulation symbols at a transmitter; mapping the sequence of modulation symbols into the plurality of resource elements in the plurality of resource regions, with, transmitting the modulation symbols via at least one antennas using the respective corresponding resource elements to a receiver.
