Abstract

A method by which a transmission user equipment (UE) transmits a sounding reference signal (SRS) in a wireless communication system, according to the present disclosure, can comprise the steps of: receiving, from a base station, first configuration information including a timing advance and/or a timing advance offset; receiving, from the base station, second configuration information including SRS configuration; and transmitting an SRS to a reception UE on the basis of the first configuration information and the second configuration information. The timing advance is the same as the downlink reception timing of the reception UE, and the timing advance offset can be set to transmit the SRS. The timing advance can have a value corresponding to the downlink reception timing of the reception UE.

Claims (25)

1. A method for transmitting a sounding reference signal (SRS) by a transmitting user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS);

transmitting, to the base station, a CSI report based on the CSI-RS, wherein the CSI report includes information indicating that the transmitting UE is located at an edge of a cell of the base station;

receiving, from the base station, first configuration information and second configuration,

wherein, based on the information indicating that the transmitting UE is located at the edge of the cell of the base station, the first configuration information includes only a timing advance offset configured to transmit the SRS,

wherein the second configuration information includes SRS configuration; and

based on the information indicating that the transmitting UE is located at the edge of the cell of the base station, transmitting the SRS to a receiving UE based on the first configuration information and the second configuration information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a timing advance to which the timing advance offset is applied for transmitting the SRS is the same as a downlink reception timing of the receiving UE.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a timing advance to which the timing advance offset is applied for transmitting the SRS is the same as an uplink transmission timing advance of the transmitting UE.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SRS configuration includes an indicator indicating that the SRS is for UE-to-UE interference measurement.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the indicator indicating that the SRS is for UE-to-UE interference measurement is included in each of SRS resource sets included in the SRS configuration.

6. A transmitting user equipment (UE) for transmitting a sounding reference signal (SRS) in a wireless communication system, the transmitting UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor connected to the transceiver,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

receive, from a base station, a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS);

transmit, to the base station, a CSI report based on the CSI-RS, wherein the CSI report includes information indicating that the transmitting UE is located at an edge of a cell of the base station;

receive, from the base station, first configuration information and second configuration, wherein, based on the information indicating that the transmitting UE is located at an edge of the cell of the base station, the first configuration information includes only a timing advance offset configured to transmit the SRS,

wherein the second configuration information includes SRS configuration; and

based on the information indicating that the transmitting UE is located at the edge of the cell of the base station, transmit the SRS to a receiving UE based on the first configuration information and the second configuration information.

7. The transmitting UE of claim 6 , wherein a timing advance to which the timing advance offset is applied for transmitting the SRS is the same as a downlink reception timing of the receiving UE.

8. The transmitting UE of claim 6 , wherein a timing advance to which the timing advance offset is applied for transmitting the SRS is the same as an uplink transmission timing advance of the transmitting UE.

9. The transmitting UE of claim 6 , wherein the SRS configuration includes an indicator indicating that the SRS is for UE-to-UE interference measurement.

10. The transmitting UE of claim 9 , wherein the indicator indicating that the SRS is for UE-to-UE interference measurement is included in each of SRS resource sets included in the SRS configuration.

11. The transmitting UE of claim 6 , wherein the transmitting UE is mounted on an autonomous driving device configured to communicate with at least one of a mobile terminal, a base station, and an autonomous driving vehicle.
