Abstract

A method and user equipment for transmitting a sounding reference signal (SRS) of a user equipment in a wireless communication system are provided. The method includes calculating an SRS transmission count based on at least one of a numerology, an SRS periodicity, a number of SRS symbols, and an SRS repetition factor, and transmitting the SRS based on the SRS transmission count.

Claims (30)

1. A method of transmitting a sounding reference signal (SRS) of a user equipment in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

identifying an SRS transmission count based on a slot number within a frame for a numerology, a number of slots per frame for the numerology, an SRS periodicity, a number of SRS symbols, an SRS repetition factor and a system frame number, in case that a periodic SRS transmission or a semi-persistent SRS transmission is configured; and

transmitting the SRS based on the SRS transmission count.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein configuration for antenna port of the SRS is further received, from a base station, by a higher layer signaling.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein configuration for the periodic SRS transmission of the SRS, configuration for the semi-persistent SRS transmission of the SRS or configuration for an aperiodic SRS transmission of the SRS is further received, from a base station, by a higher layer signaling.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein frequency hopping for the SRS is performed based on the SRS transmission count.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the SRS is transmitted in one slot, in case that an aperiodic SRS transmission is configured.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein

configuration for the SRS periodicity and a slot offset is further received, from a base station, by a higher layer signaling, and

at least one slot for the SRS transmission is determined based on the SRS periodicity and the slot offset.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising;

wherein configuration for the number of SRS symbols and the SRS repetition factor is further received, from a base station, by a higher layer signaling.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the number of SRS symbols is 1, 2, or 4.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SRS repetition factor is less than the number of SRS symbols.

10. A user equipment for transmitting a sounding reference signal (SRS) in a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising:

a transceiver;

at least one memory storing a program for transmitting the SRS; and

at least one processor configured to:

identify an SRS transmission count based on a slot number within a frame for a numerology, a number of slots per frame for the numerology, an SRS periodicity, a number of SRS symbols, an SRS repetition factor and a system frame number, in case that a periodic SRS transmission or a semi-persistent SRS transmission is configured; and

transmit the SRS based on the SRS transmission count.

11. The user equipment of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to receive configuration for antenna port of the SRS, from a base station, by a higher layer signaling.

12. The user equipment of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to receive a-configuration for the periodic SRS transmission of the SRS, configuration for the semi-persistent SRS transmission of the SRS or configuration for an aperiodic SRS transmission of the SRS, from a base station, by a higher layer signaling.

13. The user equipment of claim 10 , wherein frequency hopping for the SRS is performed based on the SRS transmission count.

14. The user equipment of claim 13 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to transmit the SRS in one slot, in case that an aperiodic SRS transmission is configured.

15. The user equipment of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

receive configuration for the SRS periodicity and a slot offset, from a base station, by a higher layer signaling;

determine at least one slot for the SRS transmission based on the SRS periodicity and the slot offset.

16. The user equipment of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to receive a configuration for the number of SRS symbols and the SRS repetition factor, from a base station, by a higher layer signaling.

17. The user equipment of claim 10 , wherein the number of SRS symbols is 1, 2, or 4.

18. The user equipment of claim 10 , wherein the SRS repetition factor is less than the number of SRS symbols.
