Flexible transmission of messages in a wireless communication system
Devices and methods for transmitting information in resource blocks between a base station and one or more communication devices are disclosed. In each resource block (RB) used for a data or control channel transmission, a plurality of non-overlapping regions of resource elements (REs) are defined. Each region is associated with one or multiple unique reference symbols (RSs). When user equipment (UE) demodulates the information it receives in a particular region of a resource block (RB), it uses the reference symbol (RS) associated with that region. The reference symbol (RS) information may be used, for example, to estimate a channel of the communication network or to demodulate and decode the data contained within the associated regions.
