Method and apparatus for transmitting uplink signal
A method and device for transmitting an uplink signal in a wireless communication system is provided. A user equipment transmits a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) on a SRS subframe for a first serving cell to a base station if a SRS transmission on the SRS subframe for the first serving cell is overlapped with an uplink transmission for a second serving cell. The PUSCH is transmitted on remaining orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols in the SRS subframe except a single OFDM symbol reserved for the SRS transmission regardless of whether a SRS is transmitted on the single OFDM symbol or not.
1. A method for transmitting an uplink signal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
determining, by a user equipment, a sounding reference signal (SRS) subframe in which a SRS and a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) for a first serving cell are simultaneously triggered among a plurality of subframes, the SRS subframe including a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols;
if a SRS transmission on a single OFDM symbol of the SRS subframe for the first serving cell is overlapped with an uplink transmission for a second serving cell, determining, by the user equipment, whether the SRS is actually to be transmitted in the SRS subframe based on a total uplink transmission power; and
if the SRS is triggered by a periodic SRS configuration and a plurality of timing advance groups are configured, transmitting, by the user equipment, the PUSCH on remaining OFDM symbols of the SRS subframe for the first serving cell except the single OFDM symbol reserved for the SRS transmission regardless of whether the SRS is actually transmitted by the user equipment in the SRS subframe.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein if the total uplink transmission power exceeds the user equipment's maximum transmit power on the overlapped portion, the SRS transmission is dropped in the SRS subframe for the first serving cell.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein if the total uplink transmission power does not exceed the user equipment's maximum transmit power on the overlapped portion, the SRS is actually transmitted on the single OFDM symbol of the SRS subframe.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first serving cell and the second serving belong to different tinting advance groups.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first serving cell and the second serving cell belong to same timing advance group.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the single OFDM symbol reserved for the SRS transmission is a last OFDM symbol of the SRS subframe.
7. A device configured for transmitting an uplink signal in a wireless communication system, the device comprising:
a radio frequency (RF) unit configured to receive and transmit radio signals; and
a processor operatively coupled with the RF unit and configured to:
determine a sounding reference signal (SRS) subframe in which a SRS and a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) for a first serving cell are simultaneously triggered among a plurality of subframes, the SRS subframe including a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols;
if a SRS transmission on a single OFDM symbol of the SRS subframe for the first serving cell is overlapped with an uplink transmission for a second serving cell, determine whether the SRS is actually to be transmitted in the SRS subframe based on a total uplink transmission power; and
if the SRS is triggered by a periodic SRS configuration and a plurality of timing advance groups are configured, transmit, via the RF unit, the PUSCH on remaining OFDM symbols of the SRS subframe for the first serving cell except the single OFDM symbol reserved for the SRS transmission regardless of whether the SRS is actually transmitted by the device in the SRS subframe.
8. The device of claim 7 , wherein if the total uplink transmission power exceeds the device's maximum transmit power on the overlapped portion, the SRS transmission is dropped in the SRS subframe for the first serving cell.
9. The device of claim 8 , wherein if the total uplink transmission power does not exceed the device's maximum transmit power on the overlapped portion, the SRS is actually transmitted on the single OFDM symbol of the SRS subframe.
10. The device of claim 7 , wherein the first serving cell and the second serving cell belong to different timing advance groups.
11. The device of claim 7 , wherein the first serving cell and the second serving cell belong to same timing advance group.
12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
if the plurality of timing advance groups are not configured, transmitting, by the user equipment, the PUSCH on remaining OFDM symbols of the SRS subframe for the first serving cell except the single OFDM symbol reserved for the SRS transmission when the SRS is actually transmitted by the user equipment.
