FREQUENCY HOPPING ENHANCEMENTS FOR SRS TRANSMISSION

Abstract:

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for sounding reference signal (SRS) frequency hopping enhancements. An example method performed by user equipment generally includes determining a first sounding reference signal (SRS) frequency hopping pattern for transmitting one or more SRSs; determining an antenna switch will occur during the transmission of the one or more SRSs; determining a second SRS frequency hopping pattern for transmitting the one or more SRSs, wherein determining the second SRS frequency hopping pattern comprises using the first SRS frequency hopping pattern to generate the second SRS frequency hopping pattern based on the determined antenna switch; and transmitting a first set of SRSs of the one or more SRSs according to the first SRS frequency hopping pattern and transmitting a second set of SRSs of the one or more SRSs according to the second SRS frequency hopping pattern.
