Patent ID: 8913684

Claim:
A method for receiving sounding reference signals (SRSs) by a base station in a MIMO wireless communication system, the method comprising: transmitting sounding reference signal parameters to a User Equipment(UE), wherein the sounding reference signal parameters including an initial cyclic shift value n CS SRS , and an initial transmissionComb parameter value k tc ; and receiving the sounding reference signals simultaneously from the UE at a specific transmission time interval, wherein when the sounding reference signal transmission is triggered via high layer signaling, the sounding reference signals are generated based on a cyclic shift value and a transmissionComb parameter value, and wherein the cyclic shift value is configured based on number of antenna ports used for the sounding reference signal transmission, and wherein the transmissionComb parameter value is determined based on the number of antenna ports and the initial transmissionComb parameter value k tc , when the number of antenna ports is four.
