Some UEs may be configured with asymmetric CA in which there are more downlink component carriers than uplink component carriers. The downlink CCs may be time division duplex (TDD) and may include uplink portions. The UE may only be configured for downlink transmissions on one or more of the downlink CCs, without having an uplink portion of the CC configured for the UE to use for data transmission. However, SRS transmissions for the one or more downlink CCs could still be useful, and it may be important for the UE to be able to transmit SRS for such CCs.
Thus, the UE may be separately configured to use an inactive uplink portion of a downlink-only CC to transmit SRS to the base station. At times there may be a collision between such an SRS transmission and uplink transmissions or the reception of downlink transmissions on another configured CC. Aspects presented herein enable the UE to address the challenges associated with such collisions.
