Abstract

Disclosed are a method and device for transmitting/receiving sounding reference signals in a wireless communication system. A method for transmitting sounding reference signals (SRS) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure may comprise the steps of: receiving, from a base station, setting information related to slot setting; receiving, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) for triggering transmission of an SRS for an SRS resource set; and transmitting the SRS to the base station in the SRS resource set. One or more SRS transmission symbols for transmission of the SRS are determined, and in the one or more SRS transmission symbols, downlink scheduling may not be performed in one or more symbols that have been set as flexible symbols by the setting information.

Claims (38)

1. A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, configuration information related to a sounding reference signal (SRS), wherein the configuration information includes information on a slot offset between triggering downlink control information (DCI) and SRS transmission;

receiving, from the base station, information related to a slot configuration;

receiving, from the base station, DCI for triggering transmission of an SRS for one or more SRS resource sets; and

transmitting, to the base station, the SRS in each of the one or more SRS resource sets,

wherein the SRS is transmitted in an available slot for SRS transmission determined based on a slot determined by the information on the slot offset, and

wherein based on at least one symbol for transmission of the SRS in the available slot being configured as flexible symbols by the information, the terminal does not expect to receive scheduling of downlink transmission to be transmitted on the at least one symbol.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the downlink scheduling is performed by DCI or radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the information includes terminal-specific configuration information related to the slot configuration,

wherein the at least one symbol is determined only in symbols configured as flexible symbols or uplink symbols by the terminal-specific configuration information.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the information includes second DCI including a slot format indicator (SFI) field,

wherein the at least one symbol is determined only in symbols configured as flexible symbols or uplink symbols by the SFI field.

5. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the information includes second DCI including a slot format indicator (SFI) field,

wherein the at least one symbol is indicated as flexible symbols or uplink symbols by the SFI field.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the slot available for the SRS corresponds to one of i) a slot including only uplink symbols, ii) a slot including only flexible symbols, or iii) a slot including one or more uplink symbols and one or more flexible symbols.

7. A terminal operating in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

at least one transceiver for transmitting and receiving a wireless signal; and

at least one processor for controlling the at least one transceiver,

wherein the at least one processor configured to:

receive, from a base station, configuration information related to a sounding reference signal (SRS), wherein the configuration information includes information on a slot offset between triggering downlink control information (DCI) and SRS transmission;

receive, from the base station, information related to a slot configuration;

receive, from the base station, DCI for triggering transmission of an SRS for one or more SRS resource sets; and

transmit, to the base station, the SRS in each of the one or more SRS resource sets,

wherein the SRS is transmitted in an available slot for SRS transmission determined based on a slot determined by the information on the slot offset, and

wherein based on at least one symbol for transmission of the SRS in the available slot being configured as flexible symbols by the information, the terminal does not expect to receive scheduling of downlink transmission to be transmitted on the at least one symbol.

8. A base station operating in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

at least one transceiver for transmitting and receiving a wireless signal; and

at least one processor for controlling the at least one transceiver,

wherein the at least one processor configured to:

transmit, to a terminal, configuration information related to a sounding reference signal (SRS), wherein the configuration information includes information on a slot offset between triggering downlink control information (DCI) and SRS transmission;

transmit, to the terminal, information related to a slot configuration;

transmit, to the terminal, DCI for triggering transmission of an SRS for one or more SRS resource sets; and

receive, from the terminal, the SRS in each of the one or more SRS resource sets,

wherein the SRS is transmitted in an available slot for SRS transmission determined based on a slot determined by the information on the slot offset, and

wherein based on at least one symbol for transmission of the SRS in the available slot being configured as flexible symbols by the information, scheduling of downlink transmission to be transmitted on the at least one symbol is not performed.
