Abstract
The present invention provides a method for configuring a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS). The method includes: determining, by a base station, an SRS periodicity available for a cell, and determining at least one SRS configuration position available in a sub-frame for the cell based on the SRS periodicity determined; and jointly coding, by the base station, the SRS periodicity and the at least one SRS configuration position, and transmitting a result of the joint coding to all User Equipments (UE) in the cell through broadcast signaling. The present invention also provides an apparatus for configuring an SRS. The present invention implements configuration of SRS transmission and can avoid conflict between SRS and uplink control information.
