Methods and apparatuses for signaling and determining reference signal offsets

[0037] figure 2One embodiment of a wireless communication network 16 ("network 16") is shown. Network 16 provides one or more communication services to wireless communication device 12 ("device 12"), such as by communicatively coupling device 12 to one or more external networks 14, such as the Internet or other packet data network PDN. The network 16 includes a radio access network RAN ​​18 . The RAN 18 includes one or more radio network nodes 20, which may be referred to as base stations, access points, transmission points, and the like. The core network CN 22 provides eg mobility management and packet routing for the device 12, and includes one or more CN nodes 24, such as packet networks, mobility management entities, authentication servers, and the like. Network 16 may also include or be associated with one or more cloud-based or centralized processing nodes that provide processing services for various functions within network 16 .
