Method and apparatus for transmitting a sounding reference signal by a terminal
Provided is a method for transmitting a sounding reference signal by a terminal, and a terminal using the method. The method comprises the following steps: receiving carrier information indicating the carrier via which a sounding reference signal is to be transmitted; receiving a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) through a first downlink component carrier; and transmitting a sounding reference signal through a second downlink component carrier, wherein the second downlink component carrier is determined based on the carrier information.
1. A method for transmitting a sounding reference signal (SRS) of a user equipment for which a plurality of uplink component carriers (UL CCs) are configured, the method comprising:
receiving system information that indicates a link relationship between a downlink component carrier (DL CC) and an uplink component carrier (UL CC), through a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) of a first DL CC;
receiving a downlink grant through a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) of the first DL CC, wherein the downlink grant schedules a second PDSCH on a second DL CC and triggers the SRS; and
transmitting the SRS,
wherein:
if the system information indicates that a specific UL CC among the plurality of UL CCs is linked with the second DL CC where the second PDSCH has been received, the SRS is transmitted through the specific UL CC, and
if the system information indicates that no UL CC is linked with the second DL CC where the second PDSCH has been received, the SRS is transmitted through all activated UL CCs among the plurality of UL CCs configured for the UE.
2. A user equipment (UE) for which a plurality of uplink component carriers (UL CCs) are configured, the UE comprising:
a radio frequency (RF) unit configured to transmit and receive a radio signal; and
a processor connected to the RF unit,
wherein the processor is configured to:
receive system information that indicates a link relationship between a downlink component carrier (DL CC) and an uplink component carrier (UL CC), through a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) of a first DL CC,
receive a downlink grant through a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) of the first DL CC, wherein the downlink grant schedules a second PDSCH on a second DL CC and triggers the SRS, and
transmit the SRS,
wherein:
if the system information indicates that a specific UL CC among the plurality of UL CCs is linked with the second DL CC where the second PDSCH has been received, the SRS is transmitted through the specific UL CC, and
if the system information indicates that no UL CC is linked with the second DL CC where the second PDSCH has been received, the SRS is transmitted through all activated UL CCs among the plurality of UL CCs configured for the UE.
