Abstract

In a case of a contention-based radio communication technique, it is necessary to identify a terminal apparatus that has performed data transmission among terminal apparatuses sharing frequency resources. There is a problem that it is difficult to identify the terminal apparatus that has performed data transmission in a case with a large number of terminal apparatuses that are non-orthogonally spatial multiplexed. Provided is a transmission device for transmitting a data signal to a reception device, the transmission device including: a transmission processing unit configured to transmit the data signal without performing SR transmission or receiving control information of transmission permission transmitted from the reception device; an identification signal multiplexing unit configured to multiplex an identification signal to an orthogonal resource; and a control information receiving unit configured to receive in advance a transmission parameter relating to transmission of the data signal. The transmission processing unit transmits the identification signal and a data signal in a case that the transmission processing unit repeatedly transmits the same data signal, based on the transmission parameter.

control information receiving circuitry configured to receive in advance a transmission parameter relating to transmission of the data signal, wherein

the transmission processing circuitry is configured to transmit the identification signal with consecutive Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols and a data signal in a case of repeatedly transmitting the same data signal, based on the transmission parameter.

2. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, in a case that the transmission processing circuitry repeatedly transmits the same data signal, the orthogonal resource to which the identification signal is multiplexed, is selected to be an orthogonal resource different for each data signal transmission.

3. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the orthogonal resource is configured by at least one element of an OFDM symbol, a subcarrier, an OCC sequence, a CS pattern, and an IFDMA pattern.

4. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the transmission parameter relating to the data signal transmission includes a degree of reliability of the data signal transmission that the terminal apparatus is required to have or the number of times the same data signal is transmitted, the number of times being configured according to delay time.

5. The terminal apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the orthogonal resource to which the identification signal is multiplexed is determined based on the number of times the same data signal is transmitted.

6. The terminal apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the orthogonal resource to which the identification signal is multiplexed is determined based on a subframe number of a subframe in which the same data signal is transmitted.
