Abstract

A method for transmitting, by a user equipment (UE), an aperiodic sounding reference signal (SRS) in a wireless communication system. The method includes receiving, via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), downlink control information (DCI) including an SRS request for triggering transmission of an aperiodic SRS, detecting the SRS request, if a carrier indicator field (CIF) is configured, transmitting the aperiodic SRS on a uplink (UL) component carrier (CC), among a plurality of UL CCs, corresponding to the CIF, and if a CIF is not configured, transmitting the aperiodic SRS on a UL CC, among the plurality of UL CCs, in which a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) is scheduled by the DCI.

Claims (20)

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

receiving, via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), downlink control information (DCI) including an SRS request for triggering transmission of an aperiodic SRS;

detecting the SRS request;

if a carrier indicator field (CIF) is configured, transmitting the aperiodic SRS on a uplink (UL) component carrier (CC), among a plurality of UL CCs, corresponding to the CIF; and

if a CIF is not configured, transmitting the aperiodic SRS on a UL CC, among the plurality of UL CCs, in which a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) is scheduled by the DCI.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CIF is included in the DCI if the CIF is configured.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI is received via the PDCCH on a downlink (DL) CC linked to the UL CC.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the linkage between the UL CC and the DL CC is indicated by system information.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the aperiodic SRS is transmitted through a plurality of antennas.

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

a radio frequency (RF) unit for transmitting or receiving a radio signal; and

a processor coupled to the RF unit, and configured to:

receive, via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), downlink control information (DCI) including an SRS request for triggering transmission of an aperiodic SRS,

detect the SRS request,

if a carrier indicator field (CIF) is configured, transmit the aperiodic SRS on a uplink (UL) component carrier (CC), among a plurality of UL CCs, corresponding to the CIF, and

if a CIF is not configured, transmit the aperiodic SRS on a UL CC, among the plurality of UL CCs, in which a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) is scheduled by the DCI.

7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the CIF is included in the DCI if the CIF is configured.

8. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the DCI is received via the PDCCH on a downlink (DL) CC linked to the UL CC.

9. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the linkage between the UL CC and the DL CC is indicated by system information.

10. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the aperiodic SRS is transmitted through a plurality of antennas.
