A method, performed by a user equipment, is described for adjusting a transmit power for sounding reference signals (SRS) in a wireless communication system supporting a plurality of cells. A determination is made for each transmit power for a plurality of SRS to be transmitted on a subframe for a serving cell. If a total transmit power for the plurality of SRS to be transmitted on the subframe exceeds a maximum transmit power, the total transmit power is scaled for the plurality of SRS. The total transmit power for the plurality of SRS is scaled with a scaling factor parameter for the serving cell. Values of the scaling factor parameter are the same across serving cells.
