Abstract

A method for transmitting a multiplexed uplink control channel and localized sounding reference symbol (localized SRS) by a terminal comprises a step of dividing the uplink control channel into a plurality of uplink control channel sub-blocks in a frequency domain and then transmitting the divided uplink control channel, when a frequency bandwidth of the localized SRS is smaller than or equal to a coherent bandwidth, wherein the divided uplink control channel sub-blocks may be frequency-division-multiplexed together with at least one localized SRS and then transmitted in one symbol.

Claims (40)

1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) operating in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

multiplexing sounding reference signals (SRSs) and uplink control channel sub-blocks segmented from an uplink control channel in a frequency domain; and

transmitting a symbol including the SRSs and the uplink control channel sub-blocks that are multiplexed, wherein the uplink control channel includes uplink control information, and

wherein the multiplexed uplink control channel sub-blocks are transmitted without demodulation reference signals.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the uplink control channel sub-blocks and the SRSs are transmitted on a same antenna port.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the SRSs is transmitted at a resource between the segmented uplink control channel sub-blocks.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the uplink control channel is segmented into the uplink control channel sub-blocks and transmitted, based on the uplink control channel being used for a specific service.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a region except a resource region related to a reference signal included in the uplink control channel is segmented into the uplink control channel sub-blocks.

6. A method performed by a base station (BS) operating in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a symbol including sounding reference signals (SRSs) and uplink control channel sub-blocks that are multiplexed in a frequency domain,

wherein the uplink control channel sub-blocks are segmented from an uplink control channel,

wherein the uplink control channel includes uplink control information, and

wherein the multiplexed uplink control channel sub-blocks are received without demodulation reference signals.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein at least one of the SRSs is received at a resource between the segmented uplink control channel sub-blocks.

8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

estimating an uplink channel based on the SRSs.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein a region except a resource region related to a reference signal included in the uplink control channel is segmented into the uplink control channel sub-blocks.

10. A user equipment (UE) configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor coupled to the transceiver, wherein the processor is configured to:

multiplex sounding reference signals (SRSs) and uplink control channel sub-blocks segmented from an uplink control channel in a frequency domain; and

transmit a symbol including the SRSs and the uplink control channel sub-blocks that are multiplexed,

wherein the uplink control channel includes uplink control information, and

wherein the multiplexed uplink control channel sub-blocks are transmitted without demodulation reference signals.

11. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to transmit the segmented uplink control channel sub-blocks and the SRSs on a same antenna port.

12. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to transmit at least one of the SRSs at a resource between the segmented uplink control channel sub-blocks.

13. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to transmit the segmented uplink control channel sub-blocks in a region of the uplink control channel except a resource region related to a reference signal included in the uplink control channel.

14. A base station (BS) configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor coupled to the transceiver,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a symbol including sounding reference signals (SRSs) and uplink control channel sub-blocks that are multiplexed in a frequency domain,

wherein the uplink control channel sub-blocks are segmented from an uplink control channel,

wherein the uplink control channel includes uplink control information, and

wherein the multiplexed uplink control channel sub-blocks are received without demodulation reference signals.

15. The base station of claim 14 , wherein the processor is configured to estimate an uplink channel based on the SRSs.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SRSs include a first SRS and a second SRS, and

wherein a frequency bandwidth of the first SRS is equal to or smaller than a length of a coherent bandwidth.

17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SRSs include a first SRS and a second SRS, and

wherein at least one of the uplink control channel sub-blocks is located between the first SRS and the second SRS.
