Patent ID: 8913584

Claim:
A method for allocating Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) resources in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, comprising: a system side setting different SRS transmission periods to correspond to different cycle shifts, and during a process of allocating SRS resources for user equipment (UE), setting the cycle shift adopted by the UE according to the SRS transmission period adopted by the UE; wherein determining resources on an SRS odd tree or on an SRS even tree allocated for the UE according to frequency hopping information of the UE within an SRS frequency band resource range of a cell where the UE is located, the frequency hopping information of the UE being for indicating whether the UE is a full-frequency hopping UE or a partial-frequency hopping UE, or a non-frequency hopping UE; and wherein the SRS odd tree refers to SRS frequency band resources with subcarrier numbers being odd; the SRS even tree refers to SRS frequency band resources with subcarrier numbers being even; the full-frequency hopping means that the UE performs frequency hopping within the SRS frequency band resource range of the cell where the UE is located; the partial-frequency hopping means that the UE only performs frequency hopping within part of the SRS frequency band resource range of the cell where the UE is located; the non-frequency hopping means that a SRS frequency band resource position in each transmission of the UE does not change.
