Abstract

A method by which a terminal transmits an SRS can comprise the steps of: receiving, from a base station, first information indicating symbols to which the SRS is transmitted among a plurality of symbols, when the terminal is configured to perform antenna switching for an SRS transmission on the plurality of symbols; and transmitting the SRS on the indicated symbols, wherein the SRS is transmitted through antenna ports respectively corresponding to the indicated symbols, and the antenna ports respectively corresponding to the indicated symbols can be different from each other.

Claims (69)

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

receiving configuration information on SRS configuration; and

transmitting a first SRS in a first SRS resource for a first antenna port and a second SRS in a second SRS resource for a second antenna port based on the SRS configuration,

wherein the first SRS resource is configured in a slot and the second SRS resource is configured in the slot,

wherein, based on the SRS configuration, the first SRS resource including one or more first consecutive orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols is configured for the first SRS, and the second SRS resource including one or more second consecutive OFDM symbols is configured for the second SRS,

wherein the SRS configuration includes information on whether SRS antenna switching is configured for the first SRS and the second SRS,

wherein, based on the SRS antenna switching is configured based on the SRS configuration, the first SRS and the second SRS are transmitted according to antenna switching,

wherein at least one symbol is configured for the SRS antenna switching between the first SRS resource and the second SRS resource, and

wherein each of the at least one symbol is a time gap in time domain.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein each of the at least one symbol is a symbol in which the UE does not transmit data.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one symbol is configured based on a multiple of 15 kHz subcarrier-spacing.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the number of the one or more first consecutive OFDM symbols are one, two or four.

5. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the number of the one or more second consecutive OFDM symbols are one, two or four.

6. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the SRS configuration further includes information regarding at least one frequency domain property of SRS resources.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the information regarding at least one frequency domain property of SRS resources includes information regarding frequency position and frequency hopping.

8. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the SRS configuration includes information regarding a number of SRS ports and a transmission comb type.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SRS configuration is received through any one of radio resource control (RRC) a medium access control channel element (MAC CE) or downlink control information (DCI).

10. A user equipment (UE) configured to transmit a sounding reference signal (SRS) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver connected with at least one processor; and

the at least one processor configured to:

receive configuration information on SRS configuration; and

transmit a first SRS in a first SRS resource for a first antenna port and a second SRS in a second SRS resource for a second antenna port based on the SRS configuration,

wherein the first SRS resource is configured in a slot and the second SRS resource is configured in the slot,

wherein, based on the SRS configuration, the first SRS resource including one or more first consecutive orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols is configured for the first SRS, and the second SRS resource including one or more second consecutive OFDM symbols is configured for the second SRS,

wherein the SRS configuration includes information on whether SRS antenna switching is configured for the first SRS and the second SRS,

wherein, based on the SRS antenna switching is configured based on the SRS configuration, the first SRS and the second SRS are transmitted according to antenna switching,

wherein at least one symbol is configured for the SRS antenna switching between the first SRS resource and the second SRS resource, and

wherein each of the at least one symbol is a time gap in time domain.

11. The UE of claim 10 ,

wherein each of the at least one symbol is a symbol in which the UE does not transmit data.

12. The UE of claim 10 ,

wherein the at least one symbol is configured based on a multiple of 15 kHz subcarrier-spacing.

13. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the number of the one or more first consecutive OFDM symbols are one, two or four.

14. The UE of claim 10 ,

wherein the number of the one or more second consecutive OFDM symbols are one, two or four.

15. The UE of claim 10 ,

wherein the SRS configuration further includes information regarding at least one frequency domain property of SRS resources.

16. The UE of claim 15 ,

wherein the SRS configuration further includes information regarding at least one frequency domain property of SRS resources.

17. The UE of claim 10 ,

wherein the SRS configuration further includes information regarding a number of SRS ports and a transmission comb type.

18. The UE of claim 10 ,

wherein the SRS configuration is received through any one of radio resource control (RRC), a medium access control channel element (MAC CE), or downlink control information (DCI).

19. A method of receiving a sounding reference signal (SRS) by a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting configuration information on SRS configuration; and

receiving a first SRS in a first SRS resource for a first antenna port and a second SRS in a second SRS resource for a second antenna port based on the SRS configuration,

wherein the first SRS resource is configured in a slot and the second SRS resource is configured in the slot,

wherein, based on the SRS configuration, the first SRS resource including one or more first consecutive orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols is configured for the first SRS, and the second SRS resource including one or more second consecutive OFDM symbols is configured for the second SRS,

wherein the SRS configuration includes information on whether SRS antenna switching is configured for the first SRS and the second SRS,

wherein, based on the SRS antenna switching is configured based on the SRS configuration, the first SRS and the second SRS are received according to antenna switching,

wherein at least one symbol is configured for the SRS antenna switching between the first SRS resource and the second SRS resource, and

wherein each of the at least one symbol is a time gap in time domain.

20. A base station (BS) configured to receive a sounding reference signal (SRS) in a wireless communication system, the BS comprising:

a transceiver connected with at least one processor; and

the at least one processor configured to:

transmit configuration information on SRS configuration; and

receive a first SRS in a first SRS resource for a first antenna port and a second SRS in a second SRS resource for a second antenna port based on the SRS configuration,
