Method and terminal for transmitting sounding reference signal in wireless communication system
A disclosure of the present specification provides a method for transmitting a sounding reference signal (SRS) by a terminal. The method may include the steps of: receiving an SRS configuration from a base station by the terminal; on the basis of the received SRS configuration, determining an SRS sub-frame to which an SRS is to be transmitted among a plurality of sub-frames, and an SRS transmission region to which an SRS is to be transmitted in a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) region on the SRS sub-frame; and transmitting the SRS to the SRS transmission region on the determined SRS sub-frame, wherein when the SRS and a PUCCH are transmitted simultaneously to the SRS transmission region, the SRS and the PUCCH may be multiplexed on the basis of code division multiplexing (CDM).
1. A method for transmitting a sounding reference signal (SRS) used for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) in a wireless communication system, the method performed by a terminal and comprising:
receiving, by the terminal, an SRS configuration from a base station;
determining an SRS subframe on which the SRS is to be transmitted among a plurality of subframes and an SRS transmission region on which the SRS is to be transmitted on the SRS subframe, based on the received SRS configuration,
wherein the SRS is transmitted in each slot on the SRS subframe, and SRSs in the each slot on the same SRS subframe are transmitted symmetrically in the frequency domain; and
transmitting the SRS used for measuring channel quality of the PUCCH in the SRS transmission region on the SRS subframe,
wherein when the SRS and the PUCCH are simultaneously transmitted, the SRS is distinguished from the PUCCH by multiplexing with the PUCCH based on code division multiplexing (CDM).
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CDM for the multiplexing includes an orthogonal cover code (OCC).
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SRS subframe includes two slots including a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, and
wherein the SRS is transmitted in the last OFDM symbol of each of the two slots.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SRS subframe includes two slots including a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, and
wherein the SRS is transmitted in any one OFDM symbol of each of the two slots.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the any one OFDM symbol is designated in the SRS configuration or predesignated according to a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) of the terminal.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SRS subframe includes two slots including a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, and
wherein the SRS is transmitted in OFDM symbols corresponding to all or some of demodulation reference signals (DMRSs) among the plurality of OFDM symbols.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the SRS is transmitted based on a PUCCH format 3 standardized by a 3 rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SRS is transmitted onto a PUCCH resource allocated based on a UL grant.
9. A terminal for transmitting a sounding reference signal (SRS) used for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:
a transceiver; and
a processor configured to:
control the transceiver to receive an SRS configuration from a base station,
determine an SRS subframe on which the SRS is to be transmitted among a plurality of subframes and an SRS transmission region on which the SRS is to be transmitted on the SRS subframe, based on the received SRS configuration,
wherein the SRS is transmitted in each slot on the SRS subframe, and SRSs in the each slot on the same SRS subframe are transmitted symmetrically in the frequency domain, and
control the transceiver to transmit the SRS used for measuring channel quality of the PUCCH in the SRS transmission region on the SRS subframe,
wherein when the SRS and the PUCCH are simultaneously, the SRS is distinguished from the PUCCH by multiplexing with the PUCCH based on code division multiplexing (CDM).
10. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the SRS subframe includes two slots including a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, and
wherein the SRS is transmitted in any one OFDM symbol of each of the two slots.
11. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein the any one OFDM symbol is designated in the SRS configuration or predesignated according to a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) of the terminal.
12. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein the any one OFDM symbol is the last symbol of each of the two slots.
