Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) may employ an extended cyclic prefix, a postfix, or both for sounding reference signal (SRS) transmissions, such that gaps between SRS transmissions are long enough for UE antenna switching operations, but shorter in duration than any maximum channel vacancy time durations set by a wireless communications system. Further, UEs may transmit SRSs to base stations in accordance with an SRS configuration. For example, a base station may provide SRS configuration information to a UE that indicates, for example, information related to SRS scheduling, subband information, a cyclic prefix length, a cyclic postfix length, listen-before-talk (LBT) type information, an SRS trigger, an SRS cancellation procedure, or any combinations thereof. Based on such SRS configuration information, a UE may perform partial subband SRS techniques, subband selection techniques, SRS bandwidth adaptation techniques, LBT type configuration techniques, etc.
