Wireless communication reference signal configuration patent granted
Summary
The USPTO has granted patent US12587334B2 to ZTE Corporation for a new method of configuring reference signals in wireless communication systems. The patent covers techniques for transmitting and receiving sounding reference signals (SRS) based on specific parameter configurations and time-domain orthogonal cover codes.
What changed
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued patent US12587334B2 to ZTE Corporation, detailing novel methods and systems for configuring reference signals in wireless communication. The patent specifically addresses the design and transmission of sounding reference signals (SRS), including variations in parameter hopping and the use of time-domain orthogonal cover codes (TD-OCC) for multiple SRS ports.
This patent grant represents a new intellectual property asset for ZTE Corporation in the telecommunications sector. While patent grants do not impose direct regulatory obligations on other entities, they can influence industry standards, licensing agreements, and future product development. Companies operating in wireless communication, particularly those involved in network infrastructure and device manufacturing, should be aware of this patent's existence as it pertains to SRS configurations.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for designing and configuring reference signals in wireless communication systems are disclosed. An example method for wireless communication includes transmitting, by a wireless device to a network node, a sounding reference signal (SRS), where the SRS is determined by a first parameter and a cyclic shift parameter, and a value of the first parameter hops at a level of a first type of time unit and a value of the cyclic shift parameter hops at a level of a second type of time unit. Another example method for wireless communication includes receiving, by a wireless device from a network node, a configuration for an SRS resource, and transmitting an SRS in the SRS resource, where the configuration includes information associated with one or more time-domain orthogonal cover codes (TD-OCC) or a multiplexing type for multiple SRS ports in the SRS resource.
