Abstract

An operation method of a terminal for transmitting a sounding reference signal (SRS) to a base station in a wireless communication system may comprise receiving a higher layer message including information on a position of an SRS resource for transmission of the SRS from the base station; receiving a trigger signal from the base station, the trigger signal triggering the transmission of the SRS and including index information of the position of the SRS resource; performing a channel sensing operation on a radio resource indicated by the information on the positions of the SRS resource and the index information; and transmitting the SRS to the base station based on a result of the channel sensing.

Claims (28)

1. An operation method of a terminal in a communication system, the operation method comprising:

receiving first configuration information on sounding reference signal (SRS) from a base station, the first configuration information including resource mapping information of the SRS;

receiving second configuration information including information on a first length of a cycle prefix (CP) extension and information on a second length of the CP extension from the base station;

receiving control information including information indicating a length of a prefix signal prior to the SRS from the base station, the length of the prefix signal being determined based on one of a plurality of lengths of the CP extension including the first and second lengths; and

transmitting the prefix signal having the indicated length and the SRS to the base station.

2. The operation method of claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second lengths indicates a number of symbols for the CP extension.

3. The operation method of claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second lengths depends on subcarrier spacing.

4. The operation method of claim 1 , wherein the length of the prefix signal is a value obtained by subtracting a predefined value from the one of the plurality of lengths of the CP extension.

5. The operation method of claim 4 , wherein the predefined value is 0, 25 μs, 16 μs+timing advance (TA), or 25 μs+TA.

6. The operation method of claim 4 , wherein the predefined value indicates duration used for a listen before talk (LBT) operation.

7. The operation method of claim 1 , wherein a location of the SRS is not restricted to a last symbol in a slot, and remaining symbol(s) after an ending symbol of the SRS in the slot is used for communication with other terminal.

8. The operation method of claim 1 , wherein the prefix signal includes a CP of a first symbol of the SRS.

9. The operation method of claim 1 , wherein the control information further includes information requesting transmission of the SRS.

10. The operation method of claim 1 , wherein the resource mapping information of the SRS includes information on a location of a first symbol of the SRS and information on a number of symbols of the SRS.

11. An operation method of a base station in a communication system, the operation method comprising:

transmitting first configuration information on sounding reference signal (SRS) to a terminal, the first configuration information including resource mapping information of the SRS;

transmitting second configuration information including information on a first length of a cycle prefix (CP) extension and information on a second length of the CP extension to the terminal;

transmitting control information including information indicating a length of a prefix signal prior to the SRS to the terminal, the length of the prefix signal being determined based on one of a plurality of lengths of the CP extension including the first and second lengths; and

receiving the prefix signal having the indicated length and the SRS from the terminal.

12. The operation method of claim 11 , wherein each of the first and second lengths indicates a number of symbols for the CP extension.

13. The operation method of claim 11 , wherein each of the first and second lengths depends on subcarrier spacing.

14. The operation method of claim 11 , wherein the length of the prefix signal is a value obtained by subtracting a predefined value from the one of the plurality of lengths of the CP extension.

15. The operation method of claim 14 , wherein the predefined value is 0, 25 μs, 16 μs+timing advance (TA), or 25 μs+TA.

16. The operation method of claim 14 , wherein the predefined value indicates duration used for a listen before talk (LBT) operation.

17. The operation method of claim 11 , wherein a location of the SRS is not restricted to a last symbol in a slot, and remaining symbol(s) after an ending symbol of the SRS in the slot is used for communication with other terminal.

18. The operation method of claim 11 , wherein the prefix signal includes a CP of a first symbol of the SRS.

19. The operation method of claim 11 , wherein the control information further includes information requesting transmission of the SRS.

20. The operation method of claim 11 , wherein the resource mapping information of the SRS includes information on a location of a first symbol of the SRS and information on a number of symbols of the SRS.
