At 1812, the eNB may instruct a UE to sound a plurality of CCs or a plurality of subbands of the first CC by transmitting a plurality of SRSs in uplink portions of at least one TDD CC on which the UE is configured for downlink portions and excluded for uplink portions, wherein the plurality of SRSs are transmitted in one of a plurality of CCs; a plurality of subbands in a same CC; and a same subband of the same CC using SRS repetition. The instruction at 1820 may be for a plurality of UEs to each sound a plurality of CCs by staggering transmissions by the plurality of UEs. The eNB may align a first SRS transmission of a first UE with a retuning period of a second UE. The instruction may instruct the UE to repeat the SRS and/or to apply a code cover to the SRS.
