Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé de communication sans fil et un appareil associé. Le procédé consiste à : transmettre un premier signal de référence au moyen de premiers éléments de ressource (RE) associés à un premier port d'antenne transmis, les positions des premiers RE étant indiquées par une première séquence de positions ; transmettre un second signal de référence au moyen de seconds RE associés à un second port d'antenne, les positions des seconds RE étant indiquées par une seconde séquence de positions ; ici la première séquence de positions et la seconde séquence de positions sont obtenues sur la base d'au moins un ensemble de positions cibles, chacun de l'au moins un ensemble de positions cibles constituant un ensemble de différences, un ensemble de différences quasi-identiques ou un ensemble de différences proches, et le premier port d'antenne étant différent du second port d'antenne et la première séquence de positions étant différente de la seconde séquence de positions. Des positions de RE occupées par un signal de référence peuvent être indiquées par une séquence de positions. Des séquences de positions sont différentes pour différents ports d'antenne, et ainsi le chevauchement complet entre des RE occupés par des signaux de référence provenant de différents ports d'antenne peut être évité, ce qui peut permettre une attribution de ressources raisonnable.
