Abstract
An apparatus for user equipment (UE). The UE comprises a transceiver configured to receive an indication of a partial subframe configuration over an unlicensed spectrum in a licensed assisted access (LAA) cell. The UE further includes at least one processor configured to determine a resource element (RE) mapping rule based on the indication of the partial subframe configuration; and identify an RE position of at least one reference signal to be received from the eNB based on the RE mapping rule.
