FREQUENCY HOPPING PATTERN AND ARRANGEMENT FOR SOUNDING REFERENCE SIGNAL

摘要

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program that includes forming frequency hopping position of the sounding reference signal based on a hopping pattern. The hopping pattern of the sounding reference signal is configured to utilize a tree assignment for a frequency allocation of the sounding reference signal and to support at least one frequency band branch per layer. The hopping pattern of the sounding reference signal is also configured to provide consecutive sounding reference signals on widely separated frequency allocations.
