Abstract

Disclosed is a method for transmitting a sounding reference signal from a terminal to a base station in a radio communication system. More specifically, the method comprises the steps of: receiving a transmission instruction signal for transmitting a non-periodic sounding reference signal from a base station; determining a time resource for transmitting said non-periodic sounding reference signal based on a specific subframe for transmitting the preset periodic sounding reference signal; and transmitting said non-periodic sounding reference signal to the base station using said determined time resource.

Claims (19)

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

receiving, in a subframe from a base station, downlink control information (DCI) including a triggering indicator indicating a transmission of the aperiodic SRS, wherein the DCI includes an uplink grant or a downlink grant;

detecting the triggering indicator indicating whether to transmit the aperiodic SRS; and

transmitting, by the UE to the base station, the aperiodic SRS in a specific subframe after another uplink subframe in response to the triggering indicator being received in the DCI,

wherein the specific subframe is firstly transmitted after the another uplink subframe corresponding to the subframe in which the DCI is received,

wherein if the DCI includes the uplink grant, the another uplink subframe corresponding to the subframe in which the DCI is received is a subframe in which a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) indicated by the uplink grant is transmitted, and

wherein if the DCI includes the downlink grant, the another uplink subframe corresponding to the subframe in which the DCI is received is a subframe in which an uplink control signal corresponding to the downlink grant is transmitted.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the UE uses the subframe in which the DCI is received to transmit the aperiodic SRS with respect to transmission bands other than a UE-specific maximum bandwidth.

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

a receiving device;

a transmitting device; and

a processor configured to:

receive, in a subframe from a base station, downlink control information (DCI) including a triggering indicator indicating transmission of the aperiodic SRS, wherein the DCI includes an uplink grant or a downlink grant,

detect the triggering indicator indicating whether to transmit the aperiodic SRS, and

transmit, by the transmitting device to the base station, the aperiodic SRS in a specific subframe after another uplink subframe in response to the triggering indicator being received in the DCI,

wherein the specific subframe is firstly transmitted after the another uplink subframe corresponding to the subframe in which the DCI is received,

wherein if the DCI includes the uplink grant, the another uplink subframe corresponding to the subframe in which the DCI is received is a subframe in which a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) indicated by the uplink grant is transmitted, and

wherein if the DCI includes the downlink grant, the another uplink subframe corresponding to the subframe in which the DCI is received is a subframe in which an uplink control signal corresponding to the downlink grant is transmitted.

4. The user equipment according to claim 3 , wherein the UE uses the subframe in which the DCI is received to transmit the aperiodic SRS with respect to transmission bands other than a UE-specific maximum bandwidth.
