Abstract

Methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable medium for SRS are provided. An example UE may receive an SRS configuration and a downlink transmission scheduling an uplink transmission, the uplink transmission being scheduled on a CC, the SRS configuration comprising one or more additional SRS symbols relative to a first set of SRS symbols associated with an aperiodic trigger Type 1 or a periodic trigger Type 0, the one or more additional SRS symbols being scheduled on a destination CC at least one of the one or more additional SRS symbols overlapping at least partially with the uplink transmission. The example UE may drop or delay transmission of at least a part of an SRS in the one or more additional SRS symbols on the destination CC or at least a part of the uplink transmission on the source CC.

Claims (26)

1 . A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

transmitting an indication of support for a carrier switching capability for transmitting an aperiodic sounding reference signal (SRS) on one or more additional SRS symbols relative to a first set of SRS symbols associated with an aperiodic trigger Type 1 or a periodic trigger Type 0, the one or more additional SRS symbols being associated with a retuning time for SRS switching from a source component carrier (CC) to a destination CC and being on the destination CC; and

receiving scheduling for communication with a base station, including the aperiodic SRS on the one or more additional SRS symbols based on the carrier switching capability.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the indication indicates whether the UE supports a general capability for the aperiodic SRS on the one or more additional SRS symbols with the carrier switching, the general capability being without reference to a band combination.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the indication indicates the UE does not support the aperiodic SRS on the one or more additional SRS symbols with the carrier switching in a license assisted access carrier.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the indication further indicates the retuning time associated with the SRS switching.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the scheduling indicates a limitation that limits a transmission associated with the additional SRS symbols to be within a time range based on the retuning time associated with the SRS switching.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the carrier switching capability is associated with a particular band combination.

7 . An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory communicatively coupled with the at least one processor and storing processor-readable code that, when executed by the at least one processor, is configured to:

transmit, to a base station, an indication of support for a carrier switching capability for transmitting an aperiodic sounding reference signal (SRS) on one or more additional SRS symbols relative to a first set of SRS symbols associated with an aperiodic trigger Type 1 or a periodic trigger Type 0, the one or more additional SRS symbols being associated with a retuning time for SRS switching from a source component carrier (CC) to a destination CC and being on the destination CC; and

receive scheduling for communication with the base station, including the aperiodic SRS on the one or more additional SRS symbols based on the carrier switching capability.

8 . The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the indication indicates whether the UE supports a general capability for the aperiodic SRS on the one or more additional SRS symbols with the carrier switching, the general capability being without reference to a band combination.

9 . The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the indication indicates the UE does not support the aperiodic SRS on the one or more additional SRS symbols with the carrier switching in a license assisted access carrier.

10 . The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the indication further indicates the retuning time associated with the SRS switching.

11 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the scheduling indicates a limitation that limits a transmission associated with the additional SRS symbols to be within a time range based on the retuning time associated with the SRS switching.

12 . The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the carrier switching capability is associated with a particular band combination.

13 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer executable code at a user equipment (UE), the code when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to:

transmit, to a base station, an indication of support for a carrier switching capability for transmitting an aperiodic sounding reference signal (SRS) on one or more additional SRS symbols relative to a first set of SRS symbols associated with an aperiodic trigger Type 1 or a periodic trigger Type 0, the one or more additional SRS symbols being associated with a retuning time for SRS switching from a source component carrier (CC) to a destination CC and being on the destination CC; and

receive scheduling for communication with the base station, including the aperiodic SRS on the one or more additional SRS symbols based on the carrier switching capability.

14 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the indication indicates whether the UE supports a general capability for the aperiodic SRS on the one or more additional SRS symbols with the carrier switching, the general capability being without reference to a band combination.

15 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the indication indicates the UE does not support the aperiodic SRS on the one or more additional SRS symbols with the carrier switching in a license assisted access carrier.

16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the indication further indicates the retuning time associated with the SRS switching.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the scheduling indicates a limitation that limits a transmission associated with the additional SRS symbols to be within a time range based on the retuning time associated with the SRS switching.

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the carrier switching capability is associated with a particular band combination.
