Transmission of sounding reference signal in multi-subframe grant
A wireless device receives a radio resource control (RRC) message comprising an aperiodic sounding reference signal (SRS) subframe parameter. The wireless device receives a downlink control information (DCI) triggering an SRS transmission and indicating uplink resources in consecutive subframes. The wireless device determines a position of a subframe in the consecutive subframes based on the aperiodic SRS subframe parameter. The wireless device transmits the SRS via the subframe.
1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a wireless device, one or more radio resource control messages comprising an aperiodic sounding reference signal (SRS) subframe parameter;
receiving a downlink control information indicating uplink resources in consecutive subframes for transmission of transport blocks by the wireless device, the downlink control information triggering a transmission of an SRS and comprising a listen-before-talk (LBT) configuration for an LBT procedure;
determining a position of a subframe, for the transmission of the SRS, in the consecutive subframes based on the aperiodic SRS subframe parameter; and
transmitting, via the subframe, the SRS based on the LBT procedure indicating a clear channel.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SRS is transmitted in more than one symbol of the subframe.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the downlink control information further comprises a field indicating whether the transmission of the SRS is triggered.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SRS is transmitted in a last symbol of the subframe.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the aperiodic SRS subframe parameter indicates an offset from a starting subframe of the consecutive subframes.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the LBT configuration indicates a symbol time interval is employed for the LBT procedure.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more radio resource control messages further comprise one or more common SRS parameters and one or more dedicated SRS parameters.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting one or more transport blocks in the subframe.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more RRC messages further comprise an SRS bandwidth.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the downlink control information further comprises a transmit power control command employed, at least in part, for calculating a transmit power for the SRS.
11. A wireless device comprising:
one or more processors; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:
receive one or more radio resource control messages comprising an aperiodic sounding reference signal (SRS) subframe parameter;
receive a downlink control information indicating uplink resources in consecutive subframes for transmission of transport blocks by the wireless device, the downlink control information triggering a transmission of an SRS and comprising a listen-before-talk (LBT) configuration for an LBT procedure;
determine a position of a subframe, for the transmission of the SRS, in the consecutive subframes based on the aperiodic SRS subframe parameter; and
transmit, via the subframe, the SRS based on the LBT procedure indicating a clear channel.
12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the SRS is transmitted in more than one symbol of the subframe.
13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the downlink control information further comprises a field indicating whether the transmission of the SRS is triggered.
14. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the SRS is transmitted in a last symbol of the subframe.
15. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the aperiodic SRS subframe parameter indicates an offset from a starting subframe of the consecutive subframes.
16. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the LBT configuration indicates a symbol time interval is employed for the LBT procedure.
17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the one or more radio resource control messages further comprise one or more common SRS parameters and one or more dedicated SRS parameters.
18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to transmit one or more transport blocks in the subframe.
19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the one or more RRC messages further comprise an SRS bandwidth.
20. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the downlink control information further comprises a transmit power control command employed, at least in part, for calculating a transmit power for the SRS.
