Definitions
- the following description relates generally to wireless communications, and more particularly to providing resource elements for transmission of a reference signal over a channel.
- Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content such as voice, data, and so on. These systems may be multiple-access systems capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing the available system resources (e.g., bandwidth and transmit power). Examples of such multiple-access systems include code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequency division multiple access (FDMA) systems, 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems, and orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems.

- a MIMO channel formed by the Nr transmit and NR receive antennas may be decomposed into Ns independent channels, which are also referred to as spatial channels, where N s ⁇ min ⁇ N r , N R ⁇ .
- Ns independent channels corresponds to a dimension.
- the MIMO system can provide improved performance (e.g., higher throughput and/or greater reliability) if the additional dimensionalities created by the multiple transmit and receive antennas are utilized.
- terminals can transmit sounding reference signals (SRS) to base stations, which can be utilized, for example, to determine the uplink channel quality.
- Base stations can utilize the SRSs in allocating uplink resources to the transmitting terminal.

- terminal specific parameters such as a configuration index of the SRS period and subframe offset for a particular mobile terminal, bandwidth for the terminal, starting resource block, frequency hopping bandwidth, transmission comb, SRS transmission duration, cyclic shift for generating the reference sequence, and/or the like can also be defined at the run time.
- Terminals in Rel-8 can transmit SRSs as specified by these parameters.
- LTE- Advanced (LTE-A) terminals can support more advanced technologies and features that can benefit from enhancements to SRS configuration.
- a method for facilitating an aperiodic transmission of a sounding reference signal includes allocating resources to the aperiodic transmission.

- An OFDMA network may implement a radio technology such as Evolved UTRA (E-UTRA), IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.16, IEEE 802.20, Flash-OFDM®, etc.
- E-UTRA, E-UTRA, and GSM are part of Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS).
- LTE Long Term Evolution
- UTRA, E-UTRA, GSM, UMTS and LTE are described in documents from an organization named "3rd Generation Partnership Project" (3GPP).
- CDMA2000 is described in documents from an organization named "3rd Generation Partnership Project 2" (3GPP2). For clarity, certain aspects of the techniques are described below for LTE, and LTE terminology is used in much of the description below.
- SC-FDMA utilizes single carrier modulation and frequency domain equalization.
- SC-FDMA signal has lower peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) because of its inherent single carrier structure.
- PAPR peak-to-average power ratio
- SC-FDMA has drawn great attention, especially in the uplink communications where lower PAPR greatly benefits the UE in terms of transmit power efficiency. It is used for uplink multiple access scheme in 3GPP LTE.
- aperiodic sounding reference signals may possibly be introduced in LTE-A Rel-10.
- SRS aperiodic sounding reference signals
- SRS are used in LTE Release 8 or Release 9 (Rel-8/9) and LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) to help improve performance of wireless communication.
- SRS are signals known at a base station and are transmitted by each UE using time/frequency transmission resources specified by the base station.
- a base station may analyze the received SRS transmissions to improve communication with the sending UE. Because SRS received from a UE are used to characterize the channel to/from the UE, ideally, the received SRS should be free from interference from transmissions by other UEs in the network (same cell or a neighboring cell). Furthermore, operational conditions, such as movement of the UE, may cause the channel to vary in time. Therefore, re-measuring the channel to overcome transmission setbacks due to such channel changes, may help improve short term channel transmission performance during such channel changes.
- SRS may be designed as a wide-band sounding signal to facilitate uplink (UL) frequency- selective scheduling as well as other purposes such as UL power control, time tracking, etc.
- UL uplink
- TDD time division duplexing
- SRS can also be used for downlink (DL) scheduling via exploitation of channel reciprocity.
- DL downlink
- SRS is targeted for the serving cell and linked to physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) power control.
- PUSCH physical uplink shared channel
- Each cell may have cell-specific SRS transmission instances (up to every UL subframe) and cell-specific SRS transmission bandwidth. Typically, it is expected that cell-specific SRS bandwidth covers most of the uplink system bandwidth, excluding the physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) region.
- PUCCH physical uplink control channel
- Each UE in a given cell can be configured UE-specific SRS transmission instances (within cell-specific SRS transmission instances) and UE-specific SRS transmission bandwidth, which can be as small as 4 resource blocks (RBs).
- SRS hopping can be enabled allowing cyclically sounding the entire or a fraction of the cell-specific SRS bandwidth.
- UEs in the same cell can be distinguished by different cyclic shifts of the same sequence (code division multiplexed, or CDM, up to 8), different comb levels (frequency domain multiplexed, up to 2) and different frequency starting positions (while cycling through the entire band at the cost of cycling delay), and different transmission instances (e.g., TDM).
- SRS hopping sequence may be deterministic for a given set of configurations, and may be the same for all the cells under the same configurations. Different cell-specific SRS configurations among different cells may be possible to achieve SRS coordination. In LTE Rel-8, SRS hopping is performed over the entire or a portion of the cell-specific SRS bandwidth.
- SRS can be used for channel state information (CSI) estimation at multiple cells exploiting channel reciprocity.
- SRS design may need to take into account LTE-A features such as multiple transmit antennas, cooperative multi-point (CoMP), supporting heterogeneous networks, etc.
- CoMP cooperative multi-point
- Rel-8 and Rel-9 may not be sufficient for LTE-A in the following sense:
- Periodic CQI reporting is layer-3 configured with a UE-specific reporting periodicity.
- Aperiodic CQI reporting is layer 2 driven, via a single bit embedded in DCI format 0. Once enabled, the aperiodic CQI report is transmitted either along with PUSCH transmissions, or by itself using the PUSCH resource. This aperiodic reporting provides an efficient way for a one-time, quick, and detailed (as it uses PUSCH resources) channel information feedback.
- the present disclosure introduces aperiodic SRS in LTE-A to increase SRS utilization efficiency, in which mechanisms for triggering aperiodic SRS transmissions via a message from a base station to a UE, and conversely transmitting aperiodic SRS transmissions from the UE to the base station, are provided in addition to other aspects.
- FIG. 1 shows a wireless communication system 100, which may be an LTE system or some other system.
- System 100 may include a number of evolved Node Bs (eNBs) 110 and other network entities.
- An eNB 110 may be an entity that communicates with UEs 120 and may also be referred to as a base station, a Node B, an access point, etc.
- Each eNB 110 may provide communication coverage for a particular geographic area and may support communication for the UEs 120 located within the coverage area.
- the overall coverage area of an eNB may be partitioned into multiple (e.g., three) smaller areas. Each smaller area may be served by a respective eNB subsystem.
- the term "cell" can refer to the smallest coverage area of an eNB and/or an eNB subsystem serving this coverage area.
- UEs 120 may be dispersed throughout the system 100, and each UE 120 may be stationary or mobile.
- a UE 120 may also be referred to as a mobile station, a terminal, an access terminal, a subscriber unit, a station, etc.
- a UE 120 may be a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a smart phone, a netbook, a smartbook, a tablet, etc.
- PDA personal digital assistant
- WLL wireless local loop
- LTE utilizes orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) on the downlink and single-carrier frequency division multiplexing (SC-FDM) on the uplink.
- OFDM and SC-FDM partition a frequency range into multiple (K) orthogonal subcarriers, which are also commonly referred to as tones, bins, etc.
- K multiple orthogonal subcarriers
- Each subcarrier may be modulated with data.
- modulation symbols are sent in the frequency domain with OFDM and in the time domain with SC-FDM.

While both these transmissions may be triggered using the same bit, the transmission timing and/or bandwidth used for CQI and SRS may in general be different.
- an aperiodic SRS may be transmitted using physical layer resources and characteristics similar to periodic SRS transmissions in Rel-8 and Rel-9.

- aperiodic SRS may be triggered via an RAR grant (message 2).
- the introduction of the new fields may be such that the modified DCI formats may now be able to trigger aperiodic SRS transmissions, which was previously not possible with these DCI formats.
- the new downlink control message may have the same size and PHY characteristics as an existing downlink control message format. Such same- sizing may minimize the need to perform blind detection at a UE for receiving the new message.
- fields in the new DCI may be used to indicate various characteristics of the aperiodic SRS, such as bandwidth, location, timing, identification of UL antenna to be used for the aperiodic SRS transmission, etc.

- multiple unused entries or multiple un-allowed combination of bit values may be used to specify various characteristics of aperiodic SRS transmissions (e.g., bandwidth, periodicity, resource element assignments, etc.). It will be appreciated that such a use of unused or un-allowed bit combinations is generally applicable to all current and future formats.
- higher layer signaling may be used to define and/or reserve some combinations in downlink control messages, and use them to indicate SRS triggering. For example, during the admission of a UE to the network or intermittently during the operation of the UE, a higher layer message may be communicated to the UE conveying the operational parameters of aperiodic SRS transmissions.

- the fixed delay may provide both the eNB and the UE with sufficient time to prepare for the subsequent reception/transmission of the aperiodic SRS transmission.
- the corresponding SRS transmission may be scheduled depending on the nature of the SRS DCI used. For example, in some designs, when the SRS DCI has a format similar to an existing DL or UL DCI format, the previously discussed UL/DL DCI rules may apply. In some designs, when a new DCI format is used, aperiodic SRS transmission may be scheduled for the first available cell-specific SRS opportunity or a fixed delay (e.g., 4 milliseconds or greater) after the transmission of the SRS DCI message.

- the last symbol may be punctured and may not used for the PUSCH transmission.
- aperiodic SRS may be transmitted along with PUSCH.
- the last symbol is used for SRS (except in the case of TDD pilot slots or UpPTS,).
- the aperiodic SRS transmission may collide with other PUSCH transmission in the same cell. It may be noted that PUSCH transmission can occupy any part of the UL bandwidth, including the PUCCH region, while SRS may typically be limited to the non-PUCCH region.
- aperiodic SRS enabled by UL DCI may be transmitted using the same or a fraction of the bandwidth as that of PUSCH when the PUSCH assignment is completely within the non-PUCCH resource region (e.g., the region excluding DCI format 2/2a/2b).
- aperiodic SRS may not be triggered.
- the eNB may comprise a scheduler for controlling potential collisions between PUSCH of one UE with aperiodic SRS of another UE in the same cell. In some designs, if collision can not be avoided via appropriate scheduling, the eNB may simply not trigger aperiodic SRS transmissions for a UE.
- aperiodic SRS transmission may in general be allowed in subframes not belonging to cell- specific SRS subframes. However, when the aperiodic SRS bandwidth is the same or a subset of PUSCH, the aperiodic SRS will not be very useful for channel quality estimation purpose. On the other hand, when SRS transmissions are allocated bandwidth resources different from PUSCH, this raises the possibility that the SRS transmissions may collide with other PUSCHs in the same cell.
- aperiodic SRS may also use demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) locations for sounding a channel.
- DM-RS demodulation reference signal
- Such as use of the DM-RS resources may be partial or total (i.e., some or all transmission resources pre-assigned to DM-RS may be used for aperiodic SRS transmissions).
- the resources occupied by SRS must be all DM-RS locations.
- the aperiodic SRS transmissions may be triggered using different cyclic shifts from the DM-RS cyclic shift for PUSCH.
- shortened PUCCH format may not be allowed.
- SRS is dropped when there is CQI/ ACK/NAK simultaneously. Therefore, in some designs, when using SC waveform and when shortened PUCCH format is not operationally used, aperiodic SRS transmission may not be triggered.
- a relaxed SC waveform when a relaxed SC waveform is operationally supported, periodic SRS may be transmitted along with CQI/ ACK/NAK transmissions.
- a periodic SRS transmission and a CQI/ ACK/NAK generally may not have overlapped bandwidth. Therefore, in some designs, when using relaxed SC waveform and when shortened PUCCH format is not supported, aperiodic SRS transmission may be triggered, including in subframes not belonging to cell-specific SRS subframes.
- shortened PUCCH format may be used.
- SRS can be transmitted with ACK/NAK, with the latter using the shortened PUCCH format.
- regular ACK/NAK format is used.
- ACK/NAKs may be orthogonalized using non-overlapping RBs.
- aperiodic SRS and ACK/NAK transmission may not be triggered and transmitted in the same subframe. Therefore, in some designs, when using SC waveform and shortened PUCCH format, aperiodic SRS transmission may not be triggered in subframes not belonging to cell-specific SRS subframes. The same design philosophy is also applicable to the case when the relaxed SC waveform is on the UL.
- Table 1 summarizes some possible designs for triggering aperiodic SRS transmissions under different operational scenarios, as discussed above.
- aperiodic SRS may not triggered in subframes not belonging to cell-specific SRS subframes, except when the relaxed SC waveform is supported in the subframes and the cell does not configure shortened PUCCH format.

- the aperiodic SRS transmission may be "multi-shot," i.e., one trigger may result in multiple aperiodic SRS transmissions.
- the operational state of whether triggering of aperiodic results in a "one-shot” or “multiple-shot” transmissions may be configured via a layer 3 message from the eNB to the UEs.

- aperiodic SRS may either be complementary or a replacement to the periodic SRS. For the latter, it may be not desirable to limit the SRS fixed to a small bandwidth in between layer 3 reconfigurations.

- periodic SRS when operating in TDD, may be transmitted in uplink pilot time slots (UpPTS). Because UpPTS does not contain any PUCCH and PUSCH transmissions, it may not be possible to trigger aperiodic SRS transmissions by following the timing relationship previously discussed (e.g., triggering in UL DCI may result in PUSCH, while triggering in DL DCI may result in aperiodic SRS transmissions following ACK/NAK). However, it may be desirable to support aperiodic SRS transmission in UpPTS as well, especially given that up to two symbols in UpPTS are available for SRS transmissions. Furthermore, in TDD operation, it may be possible to sound the entire UL system bandwidth.
- UpPTS uplink pilot time slots
- DL and/or UL DCIs may be used to trigger aperiodic SRS transmissions in UpPTS. Such a triggering may provide the opportunity to significantly optimize the channel and therefore may be especially advantageous in DL heavy configurations. For instance, in Configuration 5, where there are 8 full DL subframes, one special subframe and one UL subframe, in some designs, some of the DL subframes may trigger aperiodic SRS transmission in UpPTS. This may be performed, for example, using DL DCI. In some designs, different subframes may trigger different SRS transmission locations and/or bandwidths in UpPTS and/or regular UL subframes, to ensure sounding of the entire channel bandwidth.
