Patent ID: 8538445

Claim:
A method for transmitting an uplink channel sounding pilot, comprising: transmitting, by a base station, an uplink channel sounding pilot scheduling signaling to a User Equipment; receiving, by the User Equipment, the uplink channel sounding pilot scheduling signaling; and transmitting, by the User Equipment, an uplink channel sounding pilot according to an indication in the uplink channel sounding pilot scheduling signaling; wherein, transmitting the uplink channel sounding pilot scheduling signaling comprises: adding an uplink channel sounding pilot scheduling field, which is used for carrying the uplink channel sounding pilot scheduling signaling, to an uplink transfer scheduling signaling, and transmitting the uplink transfer scheduling signaling; or if the uplink channel sounding pilot scheduling signaling is carried in an uplink transfer scheduling signaling, and an indication field, which used to indicate that the signaling presently transferred is an uplink channel sounding pilot scheduling signaling, is set in the uplink transfer scheduling signaling, transmitting the uplink transfer scheduling signaling.
