Abstract

A method for transmitting a sounding reference symbol (SRS) by a terminal in a wireless communication system can comprise the steps of: receiving, from a base station, control information comprising a first indicator for indicating localized SRS transmission; and transmitting a localized SRS in a particular symbol on the basis of the first indicator.

Claims (28)

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

receiving, from a base station (BS), control information including first information and second information wherein the first information informs whether to transmit a localized SRS or whole-band SRS, and the second information informs to multiplex the localized SRS and a localized uplink control channel in a specific symbol;

transmitting the localized SRS and the localized uplink control channel in the specific symbol based on the first information informing of transmitting the localized SRS and the second information; and

transmitting a whole-band uplink control channel in a symbol adjacent to the specific symbol,

wherein a bandwidth of the whole-band SRS is an integer multiple of a bandwidth of the localized SRS,

wherein a symbol-wise orthogonal cover code (OCC) is applied to the localized SRS transmitted in the specific symbol and the localized uplink control channel transmitted in the adjacent symbol based on the UE being located at an edge of a cell, and

wherein the control information further includes information on a transmission starting position of the localized uplink control channel in a frequency domain, and

wherein the localized SRS and the localized uplink control channel are multiplexed and transmitted in the specific symbol based on the information on the transmission starting position of the localized uplink control channel in the frequency domain.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the control information further includes information on a starting position of the localized SRS in the frequency domain and information on the bandwidth of the localized SRS, and wherein the localized SRS is transmitted in a frequency band indicated by the information on the starting position in the specific symbol and the information on the bandwidth of the localized SRS.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the BS, information on the localized SRS transmission pattern for preventing overlap between localized SRS transmission bands per subframe every predetermined number of subframes; and

when the localized SRS and the localized uplink control channel in the specific symbol are multiplexed and transmitted in the specific symbol of a first subframe, transmitting a second localized SRS and a third uplink control channel in a symbol of a second subframe having a same index as the specific symbol based on the information on the localized SRS transmission pattern.

4. A User Equipment (UE) for transmitting a sounding reference symbol (SRS) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver coupled to at least one processor; and

the at least one processor configured to:

receive, from a base station (BS), control information including first information and second information, wherein the first information informs whether to transmit a localized SRS or a whole-band SRS, and the second information informs to multiplex the localized SRS and a localized uplink control channel in a specific symbol, and

transmit the localized SRS and the localized uplink control channel in the specific symbol based on the first information informing of transmitting the localized SRS and the second information; and

transmit a whole-band uplink control channel in a symbol adjacent to the specific symbol,

wherein a bandwidth of the whole-band SRS is an integer multiple of a bandwidth of the localized SRS,

wherein a symbol-wise orthogonal cover code (OCC) is applied to the localized SRS transmitted in the specific symbol and the localized uplink control channel transmitted in the adjacent symbol based on the UE being located at an edge of a cell,

wherein the control information further includes information on a transmission starting position of the localized uplink control channel in a frequency domain, and

wherein the at least one processor is further configured to transmit the multiplexed localized SRS and localized uplink control channel in the specific symbol based on the information on the transmission starting position of the localized uplink control channel in the frequency domain.

5. The UE of claim 4 ,

wherein the control information further includes information on a starting position of the localized SRS in the frequency domain and information on the bandwidth of the localized SRS, and

wherein the at least one processor is further configured to transmit the localized SRS in a frequency band indicated by the information on the starting position in the specific symbol and the information on the bandwidth of the localized SRS.

6. The UE of claim 4 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

receive, from the BS, information on the localized SRS transmission pattern for preventing overlap between localized SRS transmission bands per subframe every predetermined number of subframes, and

when the localized SRS and the first localized control channel in the specific symbol are multiplexed and transmitted in the specific symbol of a first subframe, control the transmitter to transmit a second localized SRS and a third uplink control channel in a symbol of a second subframe having a same index as the specific symbol based on the information on the localized SRS transmission pattern.
