1. A method, comprising:
identifying, by a transmission node, patterns on a resource grid, corresponding to resources that are allocated for a plurality of reference signals according to a set of pattern-based parameters;
identifying, by the transmission node, a set of resource-location-based parameters to define respective locations of a plurality of regions relative to each other on the resource grid, each region including a respective subset of the patterns;
identifying, by the transmission node, a plurality of reference signal sub-units on the resource grid, each of which includes one of the patterns;
defining, by the transmission node, each of the plurality of regions to include the plurality of reference signal sub-units based on a number of the reference signal sub-units and an offset between two adjacent ones of the reference signal sub-units along a frequency domain of the resource grid;
identifying, by the transmission node, the number of the reference signal sub-units and the offset between two adjacent ones of the reference signal sub-units along the frequency domain of the resource grid as the set of resource-location-based parameters; and
configuring, to a receiving device, the set of pattern-based parameters and the set of resource-location-based parameters to schedule for the plurality of reference signals.
