APERIODIC SOUNDING REFERENCE SIGNAL TRIGGERING WITHOUT DATA SCHEDULING

Abstract:

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, a radio resource control (RRC) configuration with one or more high layer parameters that enable one or more of an aperiodic sounding reference signal (SRS) triggering without data scheduling or a secondary cell (SCell) dormancy indication using downlink control information (DCI). The UE may receive, from the base station and based at least in part on the RRC configuration, DCI that is associated with at least one of: the aperiodic SRS triggering without data scheduling or the SCell dormancy indication. The UE may transmit, to the base station, an aperiodic SRS based at least in part on the DCI that triggers the aperiodic SRS. Numerous other aspects are described.
