Abstract
Apparatus and methods for sounding reference signal (SRS) switching are provided. In certain embodiments, transmit path resources of UE are used to reduce or eliminate the impairment of SRS upon transport capacity. Furthermore, the transmit path resources can be used for other purposes, and thus SRS switching time can be reduced by re-using transmit path resources that may be included for other purposes. The teachings herein can be used to achieve SRS switching of 0 μs, thereby eliminating the impact of switching timing constraints for SRS symbols on transport capacity.
