Methods and related nodes are disclosed that can enable the control of the impact of SRS switching on carrier aggregation activation delays. In some aspects, the method comprises determining a need to perform a carrier aggregation (CA) activation procedure, determining a need to perform a sounding reference signal (SRS) switching procedure, extending a delay associated with the CA activation procedure in order to allow the UE to perform the SRS switching procedure, and performing the CA activation procedure within the extended delay.
