Abstract

Techniques are described to transmit sounding reference signal (SRS). An example wireless communication method includes transmitting, by a communication device, a sounding reference signal (SRS) using one or more resource elements, where the SRS is determined by the communication device according to one or more parameters.

Claims (44)

1 . A wireless communication method, comprising:

transmitting, by a communication device, a sounding reference signal (SRS) using one or more resource elements,

wherein the SRS is determined by the communication device according to one or more parameters,

wherein the transmitting of the SRS is performed according to a partial frequency scaling factor,

wherein the partial frequency scaling factor is associated with a frequency hopping pattern from a plurality of patterns, and

wherein each of the plurality of patterns indicates a list of one or more frequency offsets.

2 . The method of claim 1 ,

wherein a step for selecting elements in an order from the list of one or more frequency offsets is 1, or

wherein the step for selecting elements in an order from the list of one or more frequency offsets is determined according to the partial frequency scaling factor or is configured.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the frequency hopping pattern is based on a SRS counter that indicates an index associated with a transmission of the SRS, a number of slots, a symbol index of a symbol associated with the SRS, or a number of symbols associated with the SRS.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the communication device, a radio resource control (RRC) signaling that indicates a mode that indicates both SRS sequence hopping and group hopping.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein an initialization value for sequence group and sequence number is determined or configured individually.

6 . The method of claim 4 , wherein an offset for an initialization value for sequence group or sequence number is configured or is predefined.

7 . A wireless communication method, comprising:

receiving, by a network device, a sounding reference signal (SRS) using one or more resource elements,

wherein the SRS is determined according to one or more parameters,

wherein the receiving of the SRS is according to a partial frequency scaling factor,

wherein the partial frequency scaling factor is associated with a frequency hopping pattern from a plurality of patterns, and

wherein each of the plurality of patterns indicates a list of one or more frequency offsets.

8 . The method of claim 7 ,

wherein a step for selecting elements in an order from the list of one or more frequency offsets is 1, or

wherein the step for selecting elements in an order from the list of one or more frequency offsets is according to the partial frequency scaling factor or is configured.

9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the frequency hopping pattern is based on a SRS counter that indicates an index associated with a transmission of the SRS, a number of slots, a symbol index of a symbol associated with the SRS, or a number of symbols associated with the SRS.

10 . The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

transmitting, by the network device, a radio resource control (RRC) signaling that indicates a mode that indicates both SRS sequence hopping and group hopping.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein an initialization value for sequence group and sequence number is determined or configured individually.

12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein an offset for an initialization value for sequence group or sequence number is configured or is predefined.

13 . An apparatus for wireless communication comprising a processor configured to implement a method, the processor configured to:

transmit, by a communication device, a sounding reference signal (SRS) using one or more resource elements,

wherein the SRS is determined by the communication device according to one or more parameters,

wherein the transmit the SRS is performed according to a partial frequency scaling factor,

wherein the partial frequency scaling factor is associated with a frequency hopping pattern from a plurality of patterns, and

wherein each of the plurality of patterns indicates a list of one or more frequency offsets.

14 . The apparatus of claim 13 ,

wherein a step for a selection of elements in an order from the list of one or more frequency offsets is 1, or

wherein the step for the selection of the elements in an order from the list of one or more frequency offsets is determined according to the partial frequency scaling factor or is configured.

15 . The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the frequency hopping pattern is based on a SRS counter that indicates an index associated with a transmission of the SRS, a number of slots, a symbol index of a symbol associated with the SRS, or a number of symbols associated with the SRS.

16 . An apparatus for wireless communication comprising a processor configured to implement a method, the processor configured to:

receive, by a network device, a sounding reference signal (SRS) using one or more resource elements,

wherein the SRS is determined according to one or more parameters,

wherein the receive the SRS is according to a partial frequency scaling factor,

wherein the partial frequency scaling factor is associated with a frequency hopping pattern from a plurality of patterns, and

wherein each of the plurality of patterns indicates a list of one or more frequency offsets.
