Abstract

A method of adjusting a transmit power for sounding reference signals in a wireless communication system supporting a plurality of cells, performed by a user equipment, including determining a first transmit power for a first sound reference signal (SRS) to be transmitted on a first serving cell and a second transmit power for a second SRS to be transmitted on a second serving cell, and if a total transmit power for the first SRS and the second SRS exceeds a maximum transmit power, scaling the first SRS and the second SRS with a same scaling factor.

Claims (12)

1. A method of adjusting a transmit power for sounding reference signals in a wireless communication system supporting a plurality of cells, performed by a user equipment, the method comprising:

determining a first transmit power for a first sound reference signal (SRS) to be transmitted on a first serving cell and a second transmit power for a second SRS to be transmitted on a second serving cell; and

if a total transmit power for the first SRS and the second SRS exceeds a maximum transmit power, scaling the first SRS and the second SRS with a same scaling factor.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first SRS and the second SRS are transmitted in a last orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol of a subframe.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the subframe is one of a plurality of subframes satisfying a SRS configuration including a SRS periodicity and a SRS subframe offset.

4. A user equipment of adjusting a transmit power for sounding reference signals in a wireless communication system supporting a plurality of cells, the user equipment comprising:

a radio frequency unit; and

a processor operatively coupled with the radio frequency unit and configured to:

determine a first transmit power for a first sound reference signal (SRS) to be transmitted on a first serving cell and a second transmit power for a second SRS to be transmitted on a second serving cell; and

if a total transmit power for the first SRS and the second SRS exceeds a maximum transmit power, scale the first SRS and the second SRS with a same scaling factor.

5. The user equipment of claim 4 , wherein the first SRS and the second SRS are transmitted in a last orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol of a subframe.

6. The user equipment of claim 5 , wherein the subframe is one of a plurality of subframes satisfying a SRS configuration including a SRS periodicity and a SRS subframe offset.
