Mobile communication system, base station apparatus, mobile station apparatus and communication method
To provide a mobile communication system and communication method for efficient scheduling to be performed when a base station apparatus notifies a mobile station apparatus of a plurality of downlink control information formats in the same subframe and/or for some particular time period, in a mobile communication system comprised of a base station apparatus and a mobile station apparatus, the base station apparatus notifies the mobile station apparatus of a plurality of downlink control information formats including at least one downlink control information format including instructions for transmission of a sounding reference signal and a parameter in the same subframe, and the mobile station apparatus transmits a sounding reference signal set based on the parameter to the base station apparatus when among the plurality of downlink control information formats, a predetermined downlink control information format includes instructions for transmission of a sounding reference signal and the parameter.
1. A mobile station apparatus that is configured to communicate with a base station apparatus, the mobile station apparatus comprising:
a reception circuitry configured to receive, from the base station apparatus, a downlink control information format including information requesting the mobile station apparatus to transmit a sounding reference signal; and
a transmission circuitry configured to transmit, to the base station apparatus, the sounding reference signal based on a detection of the information requesting the mobile station apparatus to transmit the sounding reference signal included in the downlink control information format, wherein
in a case that the information requesting the mobile station apparatus to transmit the sounding reference signal included in the downlink control information format is detected within a time period T, the transmission circuitry is configured to transmit, to the base station apparatus, the sounding reference signal in a subframe n, and
the time period T is expressed by formula:
n−k−a _Period+1≦ T≦n−k , ( k= 4), wherein
the a_Period which corresponds to a periodicity for the transmission of the sounding reference signal and is configured by a higher layer.
