Claim 12:
13. A network device comprising:
a memory;
a processor; and
a transceiver, wherein the transceiver is configured to
receive a first sounding reference signal (SRS) from a first user equipment (UE), the first SRS transmitted on first SRS resources, wherein the first SRS resources comprise one or more time resources and one or more frequency resources and further configured to receive a second SRS from a second UE, the second SRS transmitted on second SRS resources, wherein the second SRS resources comprise one or more time resources and one or more frequency resources, wherein the second SRS is elongated such that the second SRS is received during an uplink period of a first subframe and during at least a portion of a second subframe, wherein the second subframe includes downlink resources, and wherein at least some of the first SRS resources overlap with the second SRS resources;

wherein the processor and memory are configured to:
use the received first SRS to determine first beamforming parameters; and
use the received second SRS to determine second beamforming parameters.
