Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for sounding reference signal (SRS) triggering and power control for coordinated multi-point (CoMP) operations. One method generally includes maintaining separate power control processes for at least a first aperiodic SRS (A-SRS) and a second A-SRS, receiving, in a first subframe, a downlink transmission triggering transmission of at least one of the first and second A-SRS in a subsequent subframe, identifying which of the first and second A-SRS to transmit in the subsequent subframe, receiving a first power control command that indicates a power control value to apply to the identified A-SRS, and transmitting the identified A-SRS based in accordance with the first power control command.

Claim (Index 16):
An apparatus for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:\n at least one processor configured to:\n maintain separate power control processes for at least a first aperiodic sounding reference signal (A-SRS) and a second A-SRS, wherein the power control process for the first A-SRS comprises a first closed loop power control process and the power control process for the second A-SRS comprises a second closed loop power control process independent of the first closed loop power control process; \n receive, in a first subframe, a first downlink transmission triggering transmission of the first A-SRS or the second A-SRS in a subsequent subframe; \n identify which of the first A-SRS or the second A-SRS to transmit in the subsequent subframe, wherein the identified A-SRS comprises A-SRS for uplink channel sounding; \n receive a second downlink transmission triggering transmission of another A-SRS in the subsequent subframe, wherein said another A-SRS is different from the A-SRS for uplink channel sounding; \n receive a first power control command that indicates a power control value to apply to the identified A-SRS; \n receive a second power control command that indicates a power control value to apply to said another A-SRS in the subsequent subframe; \n when the first power control command is received in an uplink grant and the second power control command is received in accordance with a group power control downlink control information (DCI) for a subframe where the UE is expected to transmit a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and said another A-SRS, apply the first power control command to the identified A-SRS for uplink channel sounding and the PUSCH and apply the second power control command to said another A-SRS; and \n transmit the identified A-SRS in accordance with the first power control command; and \n a memory coupled to the at least one processor.
