Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 14:
15. A scheduled entity wireless communication device comprising:
a plurality of antennas;
a transceiver coupled to at least four antennas of the plurality of antennas;
at least one memory; and
at least one processor coupled to the transceiver and the at least one memory and configured to:
receive a sounding reference signal (SRS) configuration from a network via the transceiver;
configure the at least four antennas based on the SRS configuration, wherein the SRS configuration configures at least one of the at least four antennas to simultaneously support SRS antenna switching and an uplink (UL) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication, and wherein the SRS configuration configures simultaneous support of 1T4R SRS antenna switching and 1T2R antenna selection of the UL MIMO communication;
perform the SRS antenna switching simultaneously with the UL MIMO communication on the at least one of the at least four antennas; and
initiate transmission of an SRS communication based on the SRS configuration via the transceiver.
