Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for transmitting an uplink Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) by a User Equipment (UE). The method includes receiving information related to an SRS period and an offset for an SRS transmission; generating the uplink SRS; and when the information indicates the SRS period is 2 ms, transmitting the SRS in two Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SCFDMA) symbols in a half frame according to the offset for the SRS transmission. When the information indicates the SRS period is 2 ms and a length of an Uplink Pilot Time Slot (UpPTS) in the half frame is two symbols, a first symbol in the UpPTS is indicated by offset 0 and a second symbol in the UpPTS is indicated by offset 1.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for path switching between an evolved Node B (eNB) and a Mobile Management Entity (MME). The eNB transmits a Path Switch Request message informing that a User Equipment (UE) has changed cells, to the MME. The Path Switch Request message includes an eNB UE S1AP ID, a Tracking Area Identifier (TAI), and cell Identifier (ID). The eNB UE S1AP ID uniquely identifies UE association over an S1 interface within the eNB. The eNB receives a Path Switch Request Acknowledge message including an MME UE S1AP ID and the eNB UE S1AP ID, from the MME. The MME UE S1AP ID uniquely identifies UE association over an S1 interface within the MME. The TAI corresponds to a cell in which the UE is located.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for transmitting a sounding reference signal (SRS) in a communication system. A method includes receiving an SRS configuration index among 10 SRS configuration indices for a 2 ms SRS periodicity of a time division duplex (TDD) system; identifying, based on the SRS configuration index, the 2 ms SRS periodicity, an uplink-downlink (UL-DL) subframe configuration that is applied in the TDD system, and at least one offset; and transmitting the SRS on at least one single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) symbol in a radio frame, based on the UL-DL subframe configuration and the at least one offset. The at least one offset indicates a location of the at least one SC-FDMA symbol on which the SRS is transmitted.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for feeding back data receiving status, applied to a system, are provided. The method includes sequencing, by a User Equipment (UE), downlink subframes for transmitting data with respect to each Component Carrier (CC), generating receiving status feedback information for the first X downlink subframes with respect to each CC according to the result of the sequencing, where X≤M, wherein M is the number of downlink subframes on each CC, and transmitting the receiving status feedback information generated with respect to each CC to a base station. Accordingly, the UE will not misinterpret the receiving status for the downlink subframes due to inconsistencies with the base station between transmitting and receiving feedback. This affects the Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) transmission, saves the uplink overheads occupied by the receiving status feedback information, and increases the uplink coverage area.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for transmitting and receiving an uplink Sounding Reference Signal (SRS). The method includes determining a number of single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) symbols in an uplink pilot time slot (UpPTS); receiving index information for a sounding reference signal (SRS); determining an SRS offset, based on the index information; and transmitting the SRS, based on the SRS offset. If the index information includes an integer from 0 to 9, and if the UpPTS includes two SC-FDMA symbols, a first symbol is indicated by SRS offset 0 and a second symbol is indicated by SRS offset 1. If the index information includes an integer from 0 to 9, and if the UpPTS includes one SC-FDMA symbol, a first symbol is indicated by the SRS offset 1.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for transmitting and receiving an SRS. The method includes determining a number of SC-FDMA symbols in an UpPTS; receiving index information for an SRS; determining an SRS offset and an SRS period, based on the index information; and transmitting the SRS, based on the SRS offset and the SRS period. If the index information includes an integer from 10 to 644, the SRS period is selected among 5 ms to 320 ms. If the index information includes an integer from 0 to 9, the SRS is transmitted twice, the SRS offset is based on an offset index table, and if the UpPTS includes two SC-FDMA symbols, a first symbol is indicated by SRS offset 0 and a second symbol is indicated by SRS offset 1, if the UpPTS includes one SC-FDMA symbol, the first symbol is indicated by the SRS offset 1.
