Method and apparatus for transmitting reference signal in wireless communication system

A method of a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

• transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), a first parameter and a second parameter associated with a sound reference signal (SRS) by higher layer signaling;
• and
• receiving, from the UE, the SRS based on a bandwidth for the SRS, the bandwidth being identified based on the first parameter and the second parameter,
• wherein the first parameter and the second parameter comprise UE-specific parameters.

A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

• a transceiver;
• and
• at least one processor operably connected to the transceiver and configured to:
• control the transceiver to receive, from a base station, a first parameter and a second parameter associated with a sound reference signal (SRS) by higher layer signaling,
• identify a bandwidth for the SRS based on the first parameter and the second parameter, and
• control the transceiver to transmit, to the base station, the SRS based on the identified bandwidth for the SRS,
• wherein the first parameter and the second parameter comprise UE-specific parameters.
