Patent ID: 8718001

Claim:
A method for allocating Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) resources, comprising: an e-Node-B (eNB) allocating a SRS bandwidth with 4n Resource Blocks (RBs) to a terminal, and equally dividing a time domain sequence of a SRS into t portions in the SRS bandwidth; the eNB configuring a time domain RePetition Factor (RPF) used by the terminal, and for each terminal, the eNB configuring the terminal to use one or more cyclic shifts in L cyclic shifts, then the eNB notifying the terminal of a value of the time domain RPF, a location of a used frequency comb and a used cyclic shift by signaling; wherein, n is a positive integer; the RPF satisfies a following condition: 48 × n RPF can be exactly divided by 12; t is an integer by which 48 × n RPF can be exactly divided; and L≦t; and L is the number of cyclic shifts.
