Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and specifically, to a method and a device for the method, the method comprising: a step for receiving SRS configuration information; a step for performing a CAP for SRS transmission for each symbol, starting from the first symbol among a plurality of symbols, on the basis of the SRS configuration information; and a step for performing an SRS transmission process on the basis of a successful CAP in the Mth symbol among the plurality of symbols, wherein the SRS transmission is performed on the Mth symbol among the plurality of symbols on the basis of M being equal to or less than a reference value, and the SRS transmission is canceled even in all of the symbols after the Mth symbol among the plurality of symbols on the basis of M being greater than the reference value.

Claims (31)

1. A method of controlling uplink transmission by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving sounding reference signal (SRS) configuration information;

performing a clear access procedure (CAP) for SRS transmission for each symbol based on the SRS configuration information, starting from a first symbol among a plurality of symbols; and

performing an SRS transmission process based on success of the CAP in an M-th symbol among the plurality of symbols,

wherein based on that M is less than or equal to a reference value, the SRS transmission is performed in the M-th symbol among the plurality of symbols,

wherein based on that M is greater than the reference value, the SRS transmission is dropped in all symbols after the M-th symbol among the plurality of symbols, and

wherein an SRS index corresponding to the SRS transmission in the M-th symbol has an index value obtained by indexing from the M-th symbol among the plurality of symbols.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SRS configuration information includes first information about a number of SRS symbols K, and wherein the reference value is determined based on the first information.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein based on that a number of the symbols after the M-th symbol is greater than the number of the SRS symbols, the SRS transmission is performed only in a maximum of K symbols among the symbols after the M-th symbol among the plurality of symbols.

4. A user equipment (UE) for use in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connected to the at least one processor and configured to store instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving sounding reference signal (SRS) configuration information;

performing a clear access procedure (CAP) for SRS transmission for each symbol based on the SRS configuration information, starting from a first symbol among a plurality of symbols; and

performing an SRS transmission process based on success of the CAP in an M-th symbol among the plurality of symbols,

wherein based on that M is less than or equal to a reference value, the SRS transmission is performed in the M-th symbol among the plurality of symbols,

wherein based on that M is greater than the reference value, the SRS transmission is dropped in all symbols after the M-th symbol among the plurality of symbols, and

wherein an SRS index corresponding to the SRS transmission in the M-th symbol has an index value obtained by indexing from the M-th symbol among the plurality of symbols.

5. The UE of claim 4 , wherein the SRS configuration information includes first information about a number of SRS symbols K, and wherein the reference value is determined based on the first information.

6. The UE of claim 5 , wherein based on that a number of the symbols after the M-th symbol is greater than the number of the SRS symbols, the SRS transmission is performed only in a maximum of K symbols among the symbols after the M-th symbol among the plurality of symbols.

7. A device for a user equipment (UE), the device comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connected to the at least one processor and configured to store instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving sounding reference signal (SRS) configuration information;

performing a clear access procedure (CAP) for SRS transmission for each symbol based on the SRS configuration information, starting from a first symbol among a plurality of symbols; and

performing an SRS transmission process based on success of the CAP in an M-th symbol among the plurality of symbols,

wherein based on that M is less than or equal to a reference value, the SRS transmission is performed in the M-th symbol among the plurality of symbols,

wherein based on that M is greater than the reference value, the SRS transmission is dropped in all symbols after the M-th symbol among the plurality of symbols,

wherein an SRS index corresponding to the SRS transmission in the M-th symbol has an index value obtained by indexing from the M-th symbol among the plurality of symbols.

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein the SRS configuration information includes first information about a number of SRS symbols K, and wherein the reference value is determined based on the first information.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein based on that a number of the symbols after the M-th symbol is greater than the number of the SRS symbols, the SRS transmission is performed only in a maximum of K symbols among the symbols after the M-th symbol among the plurality of symbols.
