1. A method for generating a signal in a communication network, the method comprising:
filtering, by a transmitter, a discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM) data signal, and one of a pi/2 rotated Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) reference signal (RS), 8 Phase Shift Keying (8-PSK) RS, and Zadoff-Chu (ZC) RS, using a data filter and a RS filter respectively, to produce filtered data signal and filtered RS, said RS filter having one to one relationship with the data filter; and
port mapping, by the transmitter, the filtered RS to a corresponding port assigned to the transmitter to obtain port mapped filtered RS, wherein the port mapped filtered RS comprises a first subset of non-zero locations comprising of the filtered RS values and a second subset of zero locations comprising of zero values.
