A method and base station for receiving a sounding reference signal (SRS) in a wireless communication system and a method and user equipment for transmitting a sounding reference signal (SRS) in a wireless communication system are discussed. The method of receiving according to an embodiment includes transmitting a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) including a carrier indicator field (CIF) and an SRS field via a first component carrier (CC), the CIF indicating a specific CC, the SRS field indicating whether the user equipment has to transmit the SRS; receiving the SRS on an uplink subframe via the specific CC indicated by the CIF when the SRS field is enabled; and transmitting a first medium access control (MAC) information including a bitmap in which a bit corresponding to the specific CC is disabled for deactivating the specific CC. An SRS transmission is not performed on the deactivated specific CC.
