Abstract:
1. A method for configuring a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS), comprising: determining, by a base station, an SRS periodicity available for a cell, and determining at least one SRS configuration position available for the cell based on the SRS periodicity determined; and jointly coding, by the base station, the SRS periodicity and the at least one SRS configuration position, and transmitting a result of the joint coding to all User Equipments (UE) in the cell through broadcast signaling; presetting a relation table which associates a configuration number with an SRS periodicity and an SRS configuration position; wherein jointly coding by the base station the SRS periodicity and the SRS configuration position and transmitting a result of the joint coding to all UEs in the cell through broadcast signaling comprise: searching the relation table for at least one configuration number corresponding to the SRS periodicity and the at least one SRS configuration position determined by the base station, and loading a binary code of the at least one configuration number found into the broadcast signaling to be transmitted to all the UEs in the cell.
