Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may be configured to transmit sounding reference signals (SRSs) on a first carrier over multiple symbols within a slot, the first carrier being different from a second carrier on which the UE communicates with a base station during the slot. For example, the base station may transmit, to the UE, an SRS configuration for the UE to transmit the SRSs. In accordance with the control message, the UE may tune to the first carrier and may transmit the SRSs over the multiple symbols within the slot on the first carrier before tuning back to the second carrier. In some examples, the UE may transmit a capability message to the base station indicating that the UE supports transmitting SRSs over multiple symbols within a slot before tuning back to a different carrier.
