 The function of Sounding RS
DMRS: demodulation reference signal
• Used for channel estimation(SINR) and TA measurement
• It is located on the 4th symbol in each slot (for normal cyclic
prefix) and spans the same bandwidth as the PUSCH RB
allocated(UL Grant needed).

SRS: sounding reference signal

• Provides uplink channel quality and UL TA measurement.
• UE periodically sends SRSs across the entire PUSCH frequency band as much as possible even there
is no UL data.
• SRS is transmitted in the last symbol of the subframe. The configuration , e.g. bandwidth, duration and
periodicity, are given by higher layers
• SRS is also used to measure the channel character while closed- and open-loop MIMO adaptation or
uplink multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) is ON.
