Patent ID: 11626914

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may determine a set of groups of layers relating to a set of transport blocks (TBs) or a set of code division multiplexing (CDM) groups. The UE may group the layers such that the layers in each group have a minimal difference in signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) between the layers. The UE may select a different demodulation reference signal (DMRS) configuration for each of the set of groups of layers based on maximizing a communication efficiency metric for each group of layers. The UE may transmit an indication of the selected DMRS configurations for each group of layers to a base station via a field in a report. The base station may accordingly determine a DMRS configuration for each group of layers based on the DMRS configurations indicated by the UE.
