Claim 10:
11. An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:
a processor configured to:
determine a plurality of narrowband regions partitioned from system bandwidth, the plurality of narrowband regions comprising one or more downlink (DL) narrowband regions and one or more uplink (UL) narrowband regions for communicating with a user equipment (UE);
determine resources, within the one or more UL narrowband regions, for transmission of sounding reference signals (SRS) by the UE, a location of the resources, within the one or more UL narrowband region, for transmission of the SRS by the UE is based on a location of the UL narrowband region within the system bandwidth, wherein determine resources includes determine no resources for the transmission of the SRS in one or more of the UL narrowband regions; and
communicate with the UE using the narrowband regions, wherein communicating with the UE comprises receiving SRS on the determined resources; and
a memory coupled with the processor.
