## Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for transmitting a scheduling request and a device therefor in a wireless communication system. More specifically, the method performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving, from a base station, sounding reference signal (SRS) configuration information related to SRS transmission, and transmitting, to the base station, at least one SRS indicating a specific SR of a plurality of SRs based on the SRS configuration information. The SRS configuration information includes at least one of cyclic shift (CS) index information of a sequence related to the SRS transmission, comb information representing a comb structure in which the sequence is transmitted, or hopping bandwidth information related to the SRS transmission. The specific SR is indicated according to at least one of an CS index selected based on the CS index information, a comb index selected based on the comb information, or a hopping pattern based on the hopping bandwidth information.
