Patent ID: 11343045

Abstract:
An information transmission method and apparatus are provided. The method includes: determining a time domain density of a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS); determining a frequency domain density of the PTRS based on an available bandwidth, a scheduled resource block (RB) or an available RB; mapping the PTRS to one or more orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols based on the time domain density and the frequency domain density; and sending a signal that includes the OFDM symbol to which the PTRS is mapped. According to this application, a quantity of PTRSs can be prevented from jumping when a value of scheduled bandwidth is close to a threshold, both accuracy of common phase error estimation and spectral efficiency are taken into consideration, and the PTRSs can be uniformly mapped in the scheduled or available bandwidth, thereby properly configuring the PTRSs.
