Abstract

A base station is disclosed including a processor that maps one or more control channel elements (CCEs) in a downlink control channel to one or more resource units that are obtained by an interleaver for interleaving indexes of a plurality of resource units in a control resource set, and a transmitter transmits the downlink control channel. Each of the one or more resource units are being defined as a plurality of resource element groups (REGs). A transmitter transmits the downlink control channel. In other aspects, a terminal and a radio communication method are disclosed.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A base station comprising:
a processor of the base station that maps a control channel element (CCE) in a downlink control channel to a plurality of resource element group (REG) groups that are obtained by an interleaver; and
a transmitter that transmits the downlink control channel,
wherein the interleaver interleaves a plurality of indexes,
the plurality of indexes respectively correspond to the plurality of REG groups in a control resource set,
each of the plurality of REG groups is defined as a plurality of REGs,
the control resource set consists of one or more resource blocks in frequency domain and one or more orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols in time domain, and
a number of elements of the interleaver is a number of all REG groups in the control resource set.

2. A terminal comprising:
a receiver that receives configuration information of a control resource set; and
a processor of the terminal that monitors a downlink control channel candidate in the control resource set that is based on the configuration information,
wherein a control channel element (CCE) in the downlink control channel candidate is mapped to a plurality of resource element group (REG) groups that are obtained by an interleaver,
the interleaver interleaves a plurality of indexes,
the plurality of indexes respectively correspond to the plurality of REG groups in the control resource set,
each of the plurality of REG groups is defined as a plurality of REGs,
the control resource set consists of one or more resource blocks in frequency domain and one or more orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols in time domain, and
a number of elements of the interleaver is a number of all REG groups in the control resource set.

3. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the CCE consists of six REGs.

4. A radio communication method for a terminal, comprising:
receiving configuration information of a control resource set; and
monitoring a downlink control channel candidate in the control resource set that is based on the configuration information,
wherein a control channel element (CCE) in the downlink control channel candidate is mapped to a plurality of resource element group (REG) groups that are obtained by an interleaver,
the interleaver interleaves a plurality of indexes,
the plurality of indexes respectively correspond to the plurality of REG groups in the control resource set,
each of the plurality of REG groups is defined as a plurality of REGs,
the control resource set consists of one or more resource blocks in frequency domain and one or more orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols in time domain, and
a number of elements of the interleaver is a number of all REG groups in the control resource set.

5. A system comprising:
a base station that comprises:
a processor of the base station that maps a control channel element (CCE) in a downlink control channel to a plurality of resource element group (REG) groups that are obtained by an interleaver; and
a transmitter that transmits the downlink control channel; and

a terminal that comprises:
a receiver that receives configuration information of a control resource set; and
a processor of the terminal that monitors a downlink control channel candidate in the control resource set that is based on the configuration information,

wherein the interleaver interleaves a plurality of indexes,
the plurality of indexes respectively correspond to the plurality of REG groups in the control resource set,
each of the plurality of REG groups is defined as a plurality of REGs,
the control resource set consists of one or more resource blocks in frequency domain and one or more orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols in time domain, and
a number of elements of the interleaver is a number of all REG groups in the control resource set.
