Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention is designed so that, even when a demodulation reference signal for an uplink data channel is multiplexed in a short TTI, this demodulation reference signal can be transmitted adequately. A user terminal according to one aspect of the present invention has a receiving section that receives information about the number of combs that are supported, and a control section that controls transmission of a demodulation reference signal for an uplink data channel in a second transmission time interval (TTI), which is shorter than a first TTI, and the control section maps the demodulation reference signal to a comb-shaped resource set, and maps the uplink data channel to a frequency resource of a bandwidth associated with the number of combs supported.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A terminal comprising: a processor that maps a demodulation reference signal for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) to a set of equally spaced multiple subcarriers based on information of the demodulation reference signal; and a transmitter that transmits the demodulation reference signal, wherein the processor applies transmission power control to the demodulation reference signal, which is different from transmission power control applied to a demodulation reference signal for a PUSCH that is not mapped to the set of equally spaced multiple subcarriers. 2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the information of the demodulation reference signal is a cyclic shift field included in a downlink control information for scheduling the PUSCH. 3. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the demodulation reference signal is a demodulation reference signal for the PUSCH in a Transmission Time Interval (TTI) shorter than a subframe. 4. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the demodulation reference signal is a demodulation reference signal for the PUSCH in a Transmission Time Interval (TTI) shorter than a subframe. 5. A radio communication method for a terminal, comprising: mapping a demodulation reference signal for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) to a set of equally spaced multiple subcarriers based on information of the demodulation reference signal; and transmitting the demodulation reference signal, wherein the terminal applies transmission power control to the demodulation reference signal, which is different from transmission power control applied to a demodulation reference signal for a PUSCH that is not mapped to the set of equally spaced multiple subcarriers. 6. A base station comprising: a transmitter that controls to transmit, to a terminal, information of demodulation reference signal for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), the information being used to map the demodulation reference signal to a set of equally spaced multiple subcarriers; and a receiver that receives, from the terminal, the demodulation reference signal, wherein transmission power control is applied to the demodulation reference signal, which is different from transmission power control applied to a demodulation reference signal for a PUSCH that is not mapped to the set of equally spaced multiple subcarriers. 7. A system comprising: a terminal that comprises: a processor that maps a demodulation reference signal for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) to a set of equally spaced multiple subcarriers based on information of the demodulation reference signal; and a transmitter that transmits the demodulation reference signal; and a base station that comprises: a transmitter that controls to transmit the information to the terminal; and a receiver that receives the demodulation reference signal from the terminal, wherein the terminal applies transmission power control to the demodulation reference signal, which is different from transmission power control applied to a demodulation reference signal for a PUSCH that is not mapped to the set of equally spaced multiple subcarriers.
