Abstract:
1. A method for processing uplink signal, comprising: configuring, by a base station, random access channels for its underling cells and configuring an uplink channel quality sounding pilot for each user equipment (UE) within the underling cells, broadcasting configuration of the random access channels, and informing configuration of uplink channel quality sounding pilots to corresponding UEs; when a random access channel of a cell where a UE locates is within an uplink pilot timeslot, the UE determining whether there is a conflict between the random access channel and time-frequency position of an uplink channel quality sounding pilot of the UE; and if there is a conflict, the uplink channel quality sounding pilot will not be transmitted by the UE within the uplink pilot timeslot; and determining, by the base station according to the configurations, the uplink pilot timeslot within which there is a conflict between the random access channel of the cell where the UE locates and the time-frequency position of the uplink channel quality sounding pilot of the UE, and merely detecting the random access channel within the determined uplink pilot timeslot.
