Abstract

A method for aperiodically receiving a sounding reference signal, comprises: determining a first range of an aperiodic sound signal of a first user equipment (UE), a second range which overlaps with the first range and allows a second UE to transmit a demodulation reference signal, data or a periodic sounding reference signal, and a third range which overlaps with the first range and allows a third UE to transmit a demodulation reference signal; generating a first instruction to the first UE to transmit an aperiodic sounding reference signal in the first range; generating a second instruction to the second UE to puncture or hold a signal containing data or a periodic sounding reference signal, if either signal is transmitted in the second range; transmitting the first instruction to the first UE, and the second instruction to the second UE; and receiving the aperiodic sounding reference signal from the first UE.
