Abstract

Disclosed in the present specification is a method by which a terminal transmits a sounding reference signal (SRS) in a wireless communication system, the method: receiving, from a base station, configuration information relating to an SRS transmission, wherein the configuration information includes a first parameter set relating to a first SRS transmission and a second parameter set relating to a second SRS transmission; receiving downlink control information (DCI) from the base station; and transmitting, to the base station, a first SRS and/or a second SRS on the basis of the DCI.

Claims (32)

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

receiving, from a base station, configuration information related to SRS transmission, wherein the configuration information includes i) a first parameter set related to transmission of a first SRS and ii) a second parameter set related to transmission of a second SRS;

receiving, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI), wherein the DCI includes at least one of i) first trigger information for the transmission of the first SRS and ii) second trigger information for the transmission of the second SRS; and

transmitting, to the base station, at least one of the first SRS and the second SRS, based on the DCI,

wherein the first SRS and the second SRS are transmitted in the same subframe, and

wherein the first SRS is transmitted based on the first trigger information mapped to the first parameter set, and the second SRS is transmitted based on the second trigger information mapped to the second parameter set.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first SRS is transmitted in a last symbol of the subframe, and the second SRS is transmitted in one or more symbols among remaining symbols except for the last symbol of the subframe.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first trigger information and the second trigger information are included in an SRS request field of the DCI, and wherein the first trigger information and the second trigger information are represented as a codepoint value indicated by the SRS request field.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first SRS and the second SRS are based on an aperiodic SRS.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein when the codepoint value is ‘01,’ the first SRS alone is transmitted, and when the codepoint value is ‘10,’ both the first SRS and the second SRS are transmitted.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI further includes a field indicating rate matching of a PUSCH transmitted on the subframe.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein a format of the DCI is any one of DCI formats 0B, 3B, 4, 4A, 4B and 7-0B.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting at least one of the first SRS and the second SRS to the base station based on the DCI includes, when a plurality of serving cells are configured to the UE, independently transmitting, to the base station, at least one of the first SRS and the second SRS in each serving cell, based on the DCI.

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

one or more transceivers;

one or more processors; and

one or more memories storing instructions for operations executed by the one or more processors and connected with the one or more processors, wherein the operations include:

receiving, from a base station, configuration information related to SRS transmission;

wherein the configuration information includes i) a first parameter set related to transmission of a first SRS and ii) a second parameter set related to transmission of a second SRS;

receiving, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI),

wherein the DCI includes at least one of i) first trigger information for the transmission of the first SRS and ii) second trigger information for the transmission of the second SRS; and

transmitting, to the base station, at least one of the first SRS and the second SRS, based on the DCI,

wherein the first SRS and the second SRS are transmitted in the same subframe,

and wherein the first SRS is transmitted based on the first trigger information mapped to the first parameter set, and the second SRS is transmitted based on the second trigger information mapped to the second parameter set.

10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the first SRS is transmitted in a last symbol of the subframe, and the second SRS is transmitted in one or more symbols among remaining symbols except for the last symbol of the subframe.

11. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the first trigger information and the second trigger information are included in an SRS request field of the DCI, and wherein the first trigger information and the second trigger information are represented as a codepoint value indicated by the SRS request field.

12. A method for receiving a sounding reference signal (SRS) by a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), configuration information related to SRS transmission, the configuration information includes i) a first parameter set related to transmission of a first SRS and ii) a second parameter set related to transmission of a second SRS;

transmitting, to the UE, downlink control information (DCI), wherein the DCI includes at least one of i) first trigger information for the transmission of the first SRS and ii) second trigger information for the transmission of the second SRS; and

receiving, from the UE, at least one of the first SRS and the second SRS transmitted based on the DCI,

wherein the first SRS and the second SRS are transmitted in the same subframe,

and wherein the first SRS is transmitted based on the first trigger information mapped to the first parameter set, and the second SRS is transmitted based on the second trigger information mapped to the second parameter set.
