1. A method of operation of a wireless communication device for transmitting a physical uplink channel in a wireless communication system, comprising:
transmitting a sounding reference signal on one or more sounding reference signal resources in a first set of frequency-domain resources, the sounding reference signal being frequency-selectively precoded such that a precoder used to precode the sounding reference signal in a first subset of the first set of frequency-domain resources is different than a precoder used to precode the sounding reference signal in a second subset of the first set of frequency-domain resources, wherein the first subset and the second subset are non-overlapping;
receiving an uplink scheduling assignment for an uplink physical channel, the uplink scheduling assignment comprising a resource allocation of a second set of frequency-domain resources, wherein the second set of frequency-domain resources comprises: (a) one or more frequency-domain resources that are also included in the first set of frequency-domain resources and (b) one or more frequency-domain resources that are not included in the first set of frequency-domain resources;
in order to form a precoded uplink channel:
for each frequency-domain resource of one or more frequency-domain resources comprised in both the first set of frequency-domain resources and the second set of frequency-domain resources, applying a same precoding to the uplink physical channel on the frequency-domain resource as applied to the sounding reference signal on the frequency-domain resource; and
for each frequency-domain resource of the one or more frequency-domain resources comprised in the second set of frequency-domain resources but not included in the first set of frequency-domain resources, applying a same precoding to the uplink physical channel on the frequency-domain resource as applied to the sounding reference signal on a different frequency-domain resource; and
transmitting the precoded uplink channel.
