摘要
An apparatus may use inactive uplink portions of a downlink CC to transmit SRS to an eNB. At times there may be a collision between the SRS transmission and uplink transmissions or downlink transmissions on another CC. The apparatus receives a carrier aggregation configuration for a first downlink CC and a second CC, determines to transmit an uplink transmission on the second CC or to receive a downlink transmission on the second CC, determines that the SRS would at least partially collide with the uplink transmission or the downlink transmission, and determines to adjust at least one of the uplink transmission, the SRS transmission, or reception of the downlink transmission based on the determination of the collision and an interruption time to transmit the SRS in the uplink portion of the first CC.

This application is a Continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/479,113, entitled “Sounding Reference Signals with Collisions in Asymmetric Carrier Aggregation” and filed on Apr. 4, 2017, now U.S. Pat. No. 10,333,670 which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 62/333,035, entitled “Sounding Reference Signals with Collisions in Asymmetric Carrier Aggregation” and filed on May 6, 2016, which is expressly incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
The present disclosure relates generally to communication systems, and more particularly, to sounding reference signals (SRS) in asymmetric carrier aggregation (CA).
Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various telecommunication services such as telephony, video, data, messaging, and broadcasts. Typical wireless communication systems may employ multiple-access technologies capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources. Examples of such multiple-access technologies include code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequency division multiple access (FDMA) systems, orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems, single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) systems, and time division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) systems.
