Abstract
A method is provided for receiving a sounding reference signal (SRS) in a wireless communication system. A base station transmits downlink control information to a user equipment at a first serving cell of the plurality of serving cells. The downlink control information includes a carrier indicator and a downlink assignment. When the downlink control information includes an aperiodic SRS request that indicates a triggering of an SRS transmission the base station receives an SRS from the user equipment at the second serving cell. If the first serving cell is a frequency division duplex (FDD) and the second serving cell is a time division duplex (TDD) cell the downlink control information includes the aperiodic SRS request. If the first serving cell is the TDD cell and the second serving cell is the FDD cell the downlink control information does not include the aperiodic SRS request.

Claim
1. A method for receiving a sounding reference signal (SRS) in a wireless communication system, the method being performed by a base station that manages a plurality of serving cells including a time division duplex (TDD) cell and a frequency division duplex (FDD) cell, the method comprising:
transmitting downlink control information to a user equipment at a first serving cell of the plurality of serving cells, the downlink control information including a carrier indicator and a downlink assignment, the carrier indicator indicating a second serving cell of the plurality of serving cells, the downlink assignment indicating a downlink resource assignment at the second serving cell; and
when the downlink control information includes an aperiodic SRS request that indicates a triggering of an SRS transmission, receiving an SRS from the user equipment at the second serving cell,
wherein:
if the first serving cell is the FDD cell and the second serving cell is the TDD cell, the downlink control information includes the aperiodic SRS request, and
if the first serving cell is the TDD cell and the second serving cell is the FDD cell, the downlink control information does not include the aperiodic SRS request.
2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
configuring the plurality of serving cells to the user equipment.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein the aperiodic SRS request in the downlink control information has one bit.
4. The method of claim 3, wherein, when the bit is set to one, the aperiodic SRS request indicates the triggering of the SRS transmission.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein the first serving cell is a primary cell and the second serving cell is a secondary cell.
6. The method of claim 1, wherein the downlink control information is transmitted on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) of the first serving cell.
7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
transmitting an SRS configuration for the SRS transmission to the user equipment, the SRS configuration including a bandwidth of the SRS and a subframe offset of the SRS.
8. A device configured to receive a sounding reference signal (SRS) in a wireless communication system and manage a plurality of serving cells including a time division duplex (TDD) cell and a frequency division duplex (FDD) cell, the device comprising:
a radio frequency (RF) unit configured to receive and transmit radio signals; and
a processor operatively coupled with the RF unit and configured to:
control the RF unit to transmit downlink control information to a user equipment at a first serving cell of the plurality of serving cells, the downlink control information including a carrier indicator and a downlink assignment, the carrier indicator indicating a second serving cell of the plurality of serving cells, the downlink assignment indicating a downlink resource assignment at the second serving cell, and
control the RF unit to receive an SRS from the user equipment at the second serving cell when the downlink control information includes an aperiodic SRS request that indicates a triggering of an SRS transmission,
wherein:
if the first serving cell is the FDD cell and the second serving cell is the TDD cell, the downlink control information includes the aperiodic SRS request, and
if the first serving cell is the TDD cell and the second serving cell is the FDD cell, the downlink control information does not include the aperiodic SRS request.
9. The device of claim 8, wherein the processor is further configured to configure the plurality of serving cells to the user equipment.
10. The device of claim 8, wherein the aperiodic SRS request in the downlink control information has one bit.
11. The device of claim 10, wherein, when the bit is set to one, the aperiodic SRS request indicates the triggering of the SRS transmission.
12. The device of claim 8, wherein the first serving cell is a primary cell and the second serving cell is a secondary cell.
13. The device of claim 8, wherein the downlink control information is transmitted on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) of the first serving cell.
