Abstract:
A base station in a communications network broadcasts a cell-specific instruction to a plurality of mobile terminals in a cell served by the base station. The cell-specific instruction indicates that an uplink symbol in each of multiple subsequent subframes has been semi-statically configured for sounding reference signal (SRS) transmission. The base station determines that a first mobile terminal of the plurality of mobile terminals is to use the uplink symbol in a given one of the multiple subsequent subframes for aperiodic SRS transmission, and in response, signals a terminal-specific instruction to the first mobile terminal. The terminal-specific instruction is distinct from the cell-specific instruction and indicates that the first mobile terminal is to use the uplink symbol in the given subframe for aperiodic SRS transmission and not for data transmission.

Claim (Index 8):
The method of  claim 6 , wherein receiving the terminal-specific instruction comprises receiving the terminal-specific instruction as downlink control information carried by a physical downlink control channel.
