Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for transmitting an uplink signal in a wireless communication system supporting carrier aggregation of a plurality of cells including a first cell having a first type cyclic prefix and a second cell having a second type cyclic prefix, and an apparatus for the same, the method comprising: transmitting an uplink physical channel signal through the first cell in a specific sub-frame; and transmitting a sounding reference signal through the second cell in the specific sub-frame, wherein the second type cyclic prefix length is greater than the first type cyclic prefix length, a transmission interval of the sounding reference signal is overlapped with a transmission interval of the uplink physical channel signal during a specific interval, and the transmission of the sounding reference signal is omitted during the specific interval when the transmission power of the terminal does not exceed a specific value.

Claims (22)

1. A method for transmitting an uplink signal by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE being configured with a plurality of cells including a first cell and a second cell, the method comprising:

configuring a physical uplink channel transmission in a shortened format, based on the physical uplink channel transmission on the first cell and a sounding reference signal (SRS) transmission on the second cell being configured in the same subframe,

wherein a last symbol of the subframe is not used for the shortened format, and the last symbol of the subframe is used for the SRS transmission;

determining whether the physical uplink channel transmission and the SRS transmission overlap in a symbol of the subframe, based on the first cell and the second cell having different cyclic prefixes and having the same timing advance;

performing the physical uplink channel transmission in the subframe with the SRS transmission dropped in the subframe, based on the physical uplink channel transmission and the SRS transmission overlapping in the symbol of the subframe and a transmission power of the UE exceeding a maximum transmission power; and

performing the physical uplink channel transmission and the SRS transmission in the subframe, based on the physical uplink channel transmission and the SRS transmission overlapping in the symbol of the subframe and the transmission power of the UE not exceeding the maximum transmission power.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the physical uplink channel transmission includes a physical uplink shared channel or a physical uplink control channel.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first cell has a normal cyclic prefix and one subframe comprises 14 symbols, and

wherein the second cell has an extended cyclic prefix and one subframe comprises 12 symbols.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the same timing advance is applied for the first cell and the second cell.

5. A communication apparatus for transmitting an uplink signal in a wireless communication system, the communication apparatus being configured with a plurality of cells comprising a first cell and a second cell, the communication apparatus comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) module; and

a processor operably connected with the RF unit, that:

configures a physical uplink channel transmission in a shortened format, based on the physical uplink channel transmission on the first cell and a sounding reference signal (SRS) transmission on the second cell being configured in the same subframe,

wherein a last symbol of the subframe is not used for the shortened format, and the last symbol of the subframe is used for the SRS transmission,

determines whether the physical uplink channel transmission and the SRS transmission overlap in a symbol of the subframe, based on the first cell and the second cell having different cyclic prefixes and having the same timing advance,

performs the physical uplink channel transmission in the subframe with the SRS transmission dropped in the subframe, based on the physical uplink channel transmission and the SRS transmission overlapping in the symbol of the subframe and a transmission power of the UE exceeding a maximum transmission power, and

performs the physical uplink channel transmission and the SRS transmission in the subframe, based on the physical uplink channel transmission and the SRS transmission overlapping in the symbol of the subframe and the transmission power of the UE not exceeding the maximum transmission power.

6. The communication apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the physical uplink channel transmission includes a physical uplink shared channel or a physical uplink control channel.

7. The communication apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the first cell has a normal cyclic prefix and one subframe comprises 14 symbols, and

wherein the second cell has an extended cyclic prefix and one subframe comprises 12 symbols.

8. The communication apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the same timing advance is applied for the first cell and the second cell.
