Abstract

The invention relates to a method for determining the transmission of a sounding reference signal (SRS) by a terminal in a wireless communication system, which can include a step of determining whether a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in a first timing advance (TA) group, or an SRS in a second TA group in the same subframe, is to be transmitted when the transmission timing of the PUCCH or the PUSCH in a cell of the first TA group and the transmission timing of the SRS in a cell of the second TA group overlap each other in the same subframe.

Claims (15)

1. A method of controlling a sounding reference symbol (SRS) transmission by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system supporting a plurality of component carriers, the method comprising:

if a SRS transmission on a first component carrier of a first timing advance group (TAG) overlaps with a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission on a second component carrier of a second TAG in a subframe and a total transmission power of the UE exceeds a maximum transmission power in overlapped portion,

dropping the SRS transmission in the subframe of the first component carrier of the first TAG; and

transmitting the PUSCH in the subframe of the second component carrier of the second TAG.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PUSCH comprises uplink control information (UCI).

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining the total transmission power of the UE by calculating a transmission power of the SRS and a transmission power of the PUSCH.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE is configured with a plurality of timing advance groups.

5. A User equipment (UE) capable of controlling a sounding reference symbol (SRS) transmission in a wireless communication system supporting a plurality of component carriers, the UE comprising:

a transmitter; and

a processor connected to the transmitter that: if a sounding reference symbol (SRS) transmission on a first component carrier of a first timing advance group (TAG) overlaps with a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission on a second component carrier of a second TAG in a subframe and a total transmission power of the UE exceeds a maximum transmission power in overlapped portion, drops the SRS transmission in the subframe of the first component carrier of the first TAG; and

controls the transmitter to transmit the PUSCH in the subframe of the second component carrier of the second TAG.

6. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the PUSCH comprises uplink control information (UCI).

7. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the processor determines the total transmission power of the UE by calculating a transmission power of the SRS and a transmission power of the PUSCH.

8. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the UE is configured with a plurality of timing advance groups.
