Referring again to FIG. 1, in certain aspects, the UE 104 may be configured with an SRS transmission component (198). SRS transmission component 198 may operate to control SRS transmission in unconfigured uplink portions or subframes of a TDD component carrier as described herein. In some aspects, SRS transmission component 198 may control switching between such SRS transmissions and uplink transmissions on other CCs. Also, as described hereinafter, SRS transmission component 198 may implement algorithms for managing collisions between such SRS transmissions and UL or DL operation on other CCs and for making adjustments based on, for example, a prioritization of channels, types of control information, carriers, etc.
