Abstract

The invention relates to a method for determining the transmission of a sounding reference signal (SRS) by a terminal in a wireless communication system, which can include a step of determining whether a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in a first timing advance (TA) group, or an SRS in a second TA group in the same subframe, is to be transmitted when the transmission timing of the PUCCH or the PUSCH in a cell of the first TA group and the transmission timing of the SRS in a cell of the second TA group overlap each other in the same subframe.

Claims (23)

1. A method for controlling an uplink transmission by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system supporting a plurality of timing advance groups (TAGs), the method comprising:

when a sounding reference symbol (SRS) transmission on a first TAG overlaps with a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission on a second TAG in a time domain, checking whether a total transmission power of the SRS and the PUCCH exceeds a maximum transmission power in an overlapped time portion; and

when the total transmission power exceeds the maximum transmission power in the overlapped time portion, dropping the SRS transmission on the first TAG.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting the PUCCH on the second TAG.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a transmission power of the SRS; and

determining a transmission power of the PUCCH.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE is configured with the plurality of TAGs.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first TAG comprises at least one component carrier.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second TAG comprises at least one component carrier.

7. A user equipment (UE) for controlling an uplink transmission in a wireless communication system supporting a plurality of timing advance groups (TAGs), the UE comprising:

a processor configured to:

when a sounding reference symbol (SRS) transmission on a first TAG overlaps with a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission on a second TAG in a time domain, check whether a total transmission power of the SRS and the PUCCH exceeds a maximum transmission power in an overlapped time portion; and

when the total transmission power exceeds the maximum transmission power in the overlapped time portion, drop the SRS transmission on the first TAG.

8. The UE of claim 7 , further comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit the PUCCH on the second TAG.

9. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine a transmission power of the SRS; and

determine a transmission power of the PUCCH.

10. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the UE is configured with the plurality of TAGs.

11. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the first TAG comprises at least one component carrier.

12. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the second TAG comprises at least one component carrier.
