Abstract
Aspects are provided which improve the effectiveness of conflict resolution between a scheduled uplink transmission and a carrier-switched sounding reference signal (SRS). A UE receives a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) from a base station. The PDCCH schedules an uplink transmission on a first carrier. The UE determines whether to drop one of the uplink transmission or transmission of a SRS on a second carrier different than the first carrier based on a timing between a reception time of the PDCCH and a scheduled time for transmitting the SRS. By factoring the timing into determination, situations may be eliminated where the UE is unaware that an uplink transmission will be scheduled at the time of the carrier-switched SRS.
