Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and computer software for UE reported sounding reference signal (SRS) switching capability are provided. A method may include receiving a request, from a base station, for a sounding reference signal (SRS) switching capability of a user equipment, wherein the request includes a list of possible cells to be used by the user equipment for SRS transmission; determining, at the user equipment, the SRS switching capability of the user equipment based on the list of possible cells; and transmitting, from the user equipment to the base station, an indication of the SRS switching capability of the user equipment.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving a request, from a base station, for a sounding reference signal switching capability of a user equipment, wherein the request comprises a list of possible cells to be used by the user equipment for sounding reference signal transmission;
- determining, at the user equipment, the sounding reference signal switching capability of the user equipment based on the list of possible cells;
- transmitting, from the user equipment to the base station, an indication of the sounding reference signal switching capability of the user equipment;
- and
- receiving, at the user equipment and from the base station, indication of configuration of sounding reference signal transmissions for downlink-only secondary cells according to at least the signal switching capability of the user equipment.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code,
- wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform:
- receive a request, from a base station, for a sounding reference signal switching capability of a user equipment, wherein the request comprises a list of possible cells to be used by user equipment for sounding reference signal transmission;
- determine the sounding reference signal switching capability of the user equipment based on the list of possible cells;
- transmit, to the base station, an indication of the sounding reference signal switching capability of the user equipment;
- and
- receiving, at the user equipment and from the base station, indication of configuration of sounding reference signal transmissions for downlink-only secondary cells according to at least the signal switching capability of the user equipment.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code,
- wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform:
- transmit a request for sounding reference signal switching capability of the user equipment, wherein the request comprises a list of possible cells to be used by user equipment for sounding reference signal transmission;
- in response to the request, receive an indication of the sounding reference signal switching capability of the user equipment for the list of cells;
- and
- transmit to the user equipment a configuration for sounding reference signal transmission including an indication of configuration of transmission resources for downlink-only secondary cells based at least on the sounding reference signal switching capability of the user equipment.
