1. A method implemented in a user equipment (UE) (110), comprising:
- receiving a first reference signal (RS) from a first transmit antenna port;
performing channel estimation based on the first RS;
obtaining an indication that the first RS and a second RS share a spatial property;
receiving the second RS from a second transmit antenna port;
inferring the shared spatial property for the second RS based on the indication; and
performing channel estimation based on the second RS using the inferred spatial property.

Abstract
A method implemented in a user equipment (UE) includes receiving a first reference signal (RS) from a first transmit antenna port and performing channel estimation based on the first RS. The method also includes obtaining an indication that the first RS and a second RS share a spatial property and receiving the second RS from a second transmit antenna port. The method further includes inferring the shared spatial property for the second RS based on the indication and performing channel estimation based on the second RS using the inferred spatial property.

15. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
-
a receiver; a transmitter; a processor; and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to; receive, using the receiver, a first reference signals (RS) from at least one transmit antenna port; perform channel estimation based on the first RS; obtain an indication that the first RS and a second RS share a spatial property; receive, using the receiver, the second RS from a second transmit antenna port; infer the shared spatial property for the second RS; and perform channel estimation based on the second RS using the inferred spatial property. - View Dependent Claims (17, 27, 28)
