Method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving reference signal in wireless communication system

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

identifying an SRS transmission count based on a slot number within a frame for a numerology, a number of slots per frame for the numerology, an SRS periodicity, a number of SRS symbols, an SRS repetition factor, a system frame number and a slot offset, in case that a periodic SRS transmission or a semi-persistent SRS transmission is configured; and

transmitting the SRS based on the SRS transmission count.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying the SRS transmission count based on the number of SRS symbols and the SRS repetition factor, in case that an aperiodic SRS transmission is configured.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the SRS is transmitted in one slot, in case that the aperiodic SRS transmission is configured.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the SRS repetition factor is less than the number of SRS symbols in case that the aperiodic SRS transmission is configured.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein configuration for the number of SRS symbols and the slot offset is received, from a base station, by a higher layer signaling.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SRS periodicity is identified based on the number of slots.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein configuration for the periodic SRS transmission of the SRS, configuration for the semi-persistent SRS transmission of the SRS or configuration for an aperiodic SRS transmission of the SRS is further received, from a base station, by a higher layer signaling.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein frequency hopping for the SRS is performed based on the SRS transmission count.

9. A user equipment for transmitting a sounding reference signal (SRS) in a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising:

a transceiver;

at least one memory storing a program for transmitting the SRS; and

at least one processor configured to:

identify an SRS transmission count based on a slot number within a frame for a numerology, a number of slots per frame for the numerology, an SRS periodicity, a number of SRS symbols, an SRS repetition factor, a system frame number and a slot offset, in case that a periodic SRS transmission or a semi-persistent SRS transmission is configured; and

transmit the SRS based on the SRS transmission count.

10. The user equipment of claim 9 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to identify the SRS transmission count based on the number of SRS symbols and the SRS repetition factor, in case that an aperiodic SRS transmission is configured.

11. The user equipment of claim 10 , wherein the SRS is transmitted in one slot, in case that the aperiodic SRS transmission is configured.

12. The user equipment of claim 10 , wherein the SRS repetition factor is less than the number of SRS symbols in case that the aperiodic SRS transmission is configured.

13. The user equipment of claim 10 , wherein configuration for the number of SRS symbols and the slot offset is received, from a base station, by a higher layer signaling.

14. The user equipment of claim 9 , wherein the SRS periodicity is identified based on the number of slots.

15. The user equipment of claim 9 wherein the at least one processor is further configured to receive configuration for the periodic SRS transmission of the SRS, configuration for the semi-persistent SRS transmission of the SRS or configuration for an aperiodic SRS transmission of the SRS, from a base station, by a higher layer signaling.

16. The user equipment of claim 9 , wherein frequency hopping for the SRS is performed based on the SRS transmission count.
