Abstract
An eNB, user equipment, system and method for transmitting sounding reference signals by using multiple antennas are disclosed in the present invention, which can reduce overhead of uplink sounding reference signals. The method includes: if an Advanced Long Term Evolution (LTE-A) system has uplink multiple antennas, an eNB configures respectively transmission periods of Sounding Reference Signals (SRSs) which are transmitted over each antenna for a User Equipment (UE); according to the configuration by the eNB, the UE transmits an uplink SRS over each antenna with the corresponding SRS transmission period. The present invention can reduce the uplink SRS overhead in the system remarkably if there are multiple antennas.
