Apparatus and method for transmission of sounding reference signal in uplink wireless communication systems with multiple antennas and sounding reference signal hopping

摘要

A method of SRS transmission in a terminal in a mobile communications system using multiple antennas and a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) hopping is disclosed. The method comprises generating an SRS to be transmitted to a base station. A transmission band is set for transmitting the SRS. An antenna index is determined for transmitting the SRS so that antennas which transmit the SRS are not overlapped in the same transmission band of a first transmission section and a second transmission section. Each transmission section comprises at least one transmission time point. The SRS is transmitted to the base station according to the antenna index and the transmission band. The number of the transmission time point within the transmission section corresponds to the number of the transmission bands.
