Abstract:
Systems, methods, and apparatuses for sounding reference signal (SRS) management in carrier aggregation (CA) are described. A user equipment (UE) may be scheduled for overlapping (e.g., concurrent) transmissions of SRS and uplink control or data on different cells of a CA configuration. In some cases, the SRS transmission may be dropped (e.g., the UE may refrain from transmitting a scheduled SRS). While in some cases, the UE may transmit both SRS and another uplink message in overlapping time intervals on different cells (e.g., SRS may be transmitted concurrently with another uplink message). A determination of whether to transmit or drop SRS may be based on whether the different cells have different cyclic prefix (CP) lengths or on whether the SRS is scheduled to be transmitted in a special subframe of a time division duplexing (TDD) configuration, for example.
