Abstract

A base station includes a transmitter configured to transmit a downlink control information to a user equipment, the downlink control information being generated based on one of a first uplink allocation information and a second uplink allocation information, and a receiver configured to receive a first reference signal in a case where the transmitted downlink control information is generated based on the first uplink allocation information, and a second reference signal in a case where the transmitted downlink control information is generated based on the second uplink allocation information.

Claims (20)

1. A base station comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit a downlink control information to a user equipment, the downlink control information being generated based on one of (1) a first uplink allocation information indicating a first frequency block corresponding to a first plurality of subcarriers which are contiguous in frequency and (2) a second uplink allocation information indicating a second frequency block corresponding to a second plurality of subcarriers which are contiguous in frequency and a third frequency block corresponding to a third plurality of subcarriers which are contiguous in frequency, at least a subcarrier which is not indicated by the second uplink allocation information being located between the second frequency block and the third frequency block; and

a receiver configured to receive (1) a first reference signal including a first reference signal sequence having a first sequence length corresponding to a first bandwidth of the first frequency block, in a case where the transmitted downlink control information is generated based on the first uplink allocation information, and (2) a second reference signal including a second reference signal sequence having a second sequence length corresponding to a second bandwidth which is a summation of a third bandwidth of the second frequency block and a fourth bandwidth of the third frequency block, in a case where the transmitted downlink control information is generated based on the second uplink allocation information.

2. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein the first uplink information is generated with an information of a starting resource block of the first frequency block and an information of a length corresponding to the first plurality of subcarriers.

3. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein the second uplink information is generated with an information of a starting resource of the second frequency block and an information of a starting resource of the third frequency block.

4. A user equipment comprising:

a receiver configured to receive a downlink control information from a base station, the downlink control information being generated based on one of (1) a first uplink allocation information indicating a first frequency block corresponding to a first plurality of subcarriers which are contiguous in frequency and (2) a second uplink allocation information indicating a second frequency block corresponding to a second plurality of subcarriers which are contiguous in frequency and a third frequency block corresponding to a third plurality of subcarriers which are contiguous in frequency, at least a subcarrier which is not indicated by the second uplink allocation information being located between the second frequency block and the third frequency block; and

a transmitter configured to transmit (1) a first reference signal including a first reference signal sequence having a first sequence length corresponding to a first bandwidth of the first frequency block, in a case where the received downlink control information is generated based on the first uplink allocation information, and (2) a second reference signal including a second reference signal sequence having a second sequence length corresponding to a second bandwidth which is a summation of a third bandwidth of the second frequency block and a fourth bandwidth of the third frequency block, in a case where the received downlink control information is generated based on the second uplink allocation information.

5. The user equipment according to claim 4 , wherein the first uplink information is generated with an information of a starting resource block of the first frequency block and an information of a length corresponding to the first plurality of subcarriers.

6. The user equipment according to claim 4 , wherein the second uplink information is generated with an information of a starting resource of the second frequency block and an information of a starting resource of the third frequency block.

7. A communication method by a base station, comprising:

transmitting, by the base station, a downlink control information to a user equipment, the downlink control information being generated based on one of (1) a first uplink allocation information indicating a first frequency block corresponding to a first plurality of subcarriers which are contiguous in frequency and (2) a second uplink allocation information indicating a second frequency block corresponding to a second plurality of subcarriers which are contiguous in frequency and a third frequency block corresponding to a third plurality of subcarriers which are contiguous in frequency, at least a subcarrier which is not indicated by the second uplink allocation information being located between the second frequency block and the third frequency block; and

receiving, by the base station, (1) a first reference signal including a first reference signal sequence having a first sequence length corresponding to a first bandwidth of the first frequency block, in a case where the transmitted downlink control information is generated based on the first uplink allocation information, and (2) a second reference signal including a second reference signal sequence having a second sequence length corresponding to a second bandwidth which is a summation of a third bandwidth of the second frequency block and a fourth bandwidth of the third frequency block, in a case where the transmitted downlink control information is generated based on the second uplink allocation information.

8. The communication method according to claim 7 , wherein the first uplink information is generated with an information of a starting resource block of the first frequency block and an information of a length corresponding to the first plurality of subcarriers.

9. The communication method according to claim 7 , wherein the second uplink information is generated with an information of a starting resource of the second frequency block and an information of a starting resource of the third frequency block.

10. A communication method by a user equipment comprising:

receiving, by the user equipment, a downlink control information from a base station, the downlink control information being generated based on one of (1) a first uplink allocation information indicating a first frequency block corresponding to a first plurality of subcarriers which are contiguous in frequency and (2) a second uplink allocation information indicating a second frequency block corresponding to a second plurality of subcarriers which are contiguous in frequency and a third frequency block corresponding to a third plurality of subcarriers which are contiguous in frequency, at least a subcarrier which is not indicated by the second uplink allocation information being located between the second frequency block and the third frequency block; and

transmitting, by the user equipment (1) a first reference signal including a first reference signal sequence having a first sequence length corresponding to a first bandwidth of the first frequency block, in a case where the received downlink control information is generated based on the first uplink allocation information, and (2) a second reference signal including a second reference signal sequence having a second sequence length corresponding to a second bandwidth which is a summation of a third bandwidth of the second frequency block and a fourth bandwidth of the third frequency block, in a case where the received downlink control information is generated based on the second uplink allocation information.

11. The communication method according to claim 10 , wherein, the first uplink information is generated with an information of a starting resource block of the first frequency block and an information of a length corresponding to the first plurality of subcarriers.

12. The communication method according to claim 10 , wherein the second uplink information is generated with an information of a starting resource of the second frequency block and an information of a starting resource of the third frequency block.
