Abstract

In an embodiment of the method, uplink reference signals are assigned to users in a group of cells. For example, a first constant amplitude sequence having low cyclic cross correlation is assigned to each user in a first cell of the group of cells. Here, each user is assigned the first sequence. Also, simultaneously transmitting users in the first cell are assigned to different sub-carriers. A second constant amplitude sequence having low cyclic cross correlation is assigned to each user in a second cell of the group of cells. Here, each user in the second cell is assigned the second sequence. The first sequence and the second sequence are different sequences, and the first cell and the second cell are adjacent. Also, simultaneously transmitting users in the second cell are assigned to different sub-carriers. The sub-carriers to which the simultaneously transmitting users of the second cell are assigned overlap in frequency with the sub-carriers to which the simultaneously transmitting users of the first cell are assigned.
