Abstract

A method for transmitting, by a terminal, a sounding reference signal (SRS) comprises: a step of, if an SRS transmission and a transmission of an uplink channel collide in a first slot, dropping the transmission of an SRS symbol colliding in the first slot and transmitting an SRS symbol not colliding in the first slot; and a step of transmitting an SRS symbol in a second slot on the basis of a hopping pattern set for the dropped SRS symbol, wherein when the transmission count of the last SRS symbol colliding in the first slot is K, the transmission count for the first SRS symbol transmitted in the second slot is K+1.

Claims (23)

1. A method of transmitting a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) by a user equipment, the method comprising:

based on SRS transmission and transmission of an uplink channel colliding with each other in a first slot, dropping the transmission of an SRS symbol having the collision occurrence in the first slot and transmitting an SRS symbol not having the collision occurrence in the first slot; and

transmitting an SRS symbol in a second slot based on a hopping pattern configured for the dropped SRS symbol,

wherein based on a transmission count of a last SRS symbol not having the collision occurrence in the first slot being K, a transmission count for a first SRS symbol transmitted in the second slot is K+1 and

wherein the second slot comprises a slot having SRS transmission configured after the first slot.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission count K does not include a transmission count for the SRS symbol having the collision occurrence.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the hopping pattern is determined based on the transmission count.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission count of the first SRS symbol having the collision occurrence in the first slot is K+1 that is equal to the transmission count of a first symbol of the second SRS.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein information on the hopping pattern is provided through Radio Resource Control (RRC).

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SRS includes a periodic or semi-periodic SRS and wherein the uplink signal includes Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH).

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SRS includes an aperiodic SRS and wherein the uplink signal includes Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) including a beam failure recover request.

8. A user equipment transmitting a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS), the user equipment comprising:

a processor, and

a Radio Frequency (RF) unit transmitting or receiving a radio signal by being combined with the processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

based on SRS transmission and transmission of an uplink channel colliding with each other in a first slot, drop the transmission of an SRS symbol having the collision occurrence in the first slot, transmit an SRS symbol not having the collision occurrence in the first slot, and transmit an SRS symbol in a second slot based on a hopping pattern configured for the dropped SRS symbol, wherein based on a transmission count of a last SRS symbol not having the collision occurrence in the first slot being K, a transmission count for a first SRS symbol transmitted in the second slot is K+1, and

wherein the second slot comprises a slot having SRS transmission configured after the first slot.

9. The user equipment of claim 8 , wherein the transmission count K does not include a transmission count for the SRS symbol having the collision occurrence.

10. The user equipment of claim 8 , wherein the hopping pattern is determined based on the transmission count.

11. The user equipment of claim 8 , wherein the transmission count of the first SRS symbol having the collision occurrence in the first slot is K+1 that is equal to the transmission count of a first symbol of the second SRS.

12. The user equipment of claim 8 , wherein information on the hopping pattern is provided through Radio Resource Control (RRC).

13. The user equipment of claim 8 , wherein the SRS includes a periodic or semi-periodic SRS and wherein the uplink signal includes Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH).

14. The user equipment of claim 8 , wherein the SRS includes an aperiodic SRS and wherein the uplink signal includes Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) including a beam failure recover request.
