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 (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, the second frequency block and the third frequency block being separated in frequency.

Claims (44)

1. A communication method implemented in a user equipment, the communication method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, resource allocation information indicating two or more resource blocks for Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH); and

transmitting, to the base station, a demodulation reference signal for use in demodulation of PUSCH,

wherein a sequence length of the demodulation reference signal matches a length of the two or more resource blocks,

wherein the two or more resource blocks are allocated to the user equipment,

wherein the two or more resource blocks consist of a plurality of sets of one or more consecutive resource blocks, and

wherein the plurality of sets of one or more consecutive resource blocks are separated in frequency by at least one subcarrier that is not allocated to the user equipment.

2. The communication method according to claim 1 , wherein the length of the two or more resource blocks is a number of subcarriers of the two or more resource blocks.

3. The communication method according to claim 2 , wherein each of the two or more resource blocks consist of the subcarriers.

4. The communication method according to claim 1 , wherein the resource allocation information indicates a start position of a resource block for each of the plurality of sets of one or more consecutive resource blocks.

5. The communication method according to claim 1 , wherein the resource allocation information indicates a start resource block for each of the plurality of sets of one or more consecutive resource blocks.

6. The communication method according to claim 1 , wherein the resource allocation information is at least one index value included in downlink control information.

7. The communication method according to claim 1 , wherein the resource allocation information is transmitted via Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH).

8. A communication method implemented in a base station, the communication method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment, resource allocation information indicating two or more resource blocks for Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH); and

receiving, from the user equipment, a demodulation reference signal for use in demodulation of PUSCH,

wherein a sequence length of the demodulation reference signal matches a length of the two or more resource blocks,

wherein the two or more resource blocks are allocated to the user equipment,

wherein the two or more resource blocks consist of a plurality of sets of one or more consecutive resource blocks, and

wherein the plurality of sets of one or more consecutive resource blocks are separated in frequency by at least one subcarrier that is not allocated to the user equipment.

9. The communication method according to claim 8 , wherein the length of the two or more resource blocks is a number of subcarriers of the two or more resource blocks.

10. The communication method according to claim 9 , wherein each of the two or more resource blocks consist of the subcarriers.

11. The communication method according to claim 8 , wherein the resource allocation information indicates a start position of a resource block for each of the plurality of sets of one or more consecutive resource blocks.

12. The communication method according to claim 8 , wherein the resource allocation information indicates a start resource block for each of the plurality of sets of one or more consecutive resource blocks.

13. The communication method according to claim 8 , wherein the resource allocation information is at least one index value included in downlink control information.

14. The communication method according to claim 8 , wherein the resource allocation information is transmitted via Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH).

15. A user equipment comprising:

a memory storing instructions; and

at least one hardware processor configured to process the instruction to:

receive, from a base station, resource allocation information indicating two or more resource blocks for Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH); and

transmit, to the base station, a demodulation reference signal for use in demodulation of PUSCH,

wherein a sequence length of the demodulation reference signal matches a length of the two or more resource blocks,

wherein the two or more resource blocks are allocated to the user equipment,

wherein the two or more resource blocks consist of a plurality of sets of one or more consecutive resource blocks,

wherein the plurality of sets of one or more consecutive resource blocks are separated in frequency by at least one subcarrier that is not allocated to the user equipment.

16. A base station comprising:

a memory storing instructions; and

at least one hardware processor configured to process the instruction to:

transmit, to a user equipment, resource allocation information indicating two or more resource blocks for Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH); and

receive, from the user equipment, a demodulation reference signal for use in demodulation of PUSCH,

wherein a sequence length of the demodulation reference signal matches a length of the two or more resource blocks,

wherein the two or more resource blocks are allocated to the user equipment,

wherein the two or more resource blocks consist of a plurality of sets of one or more consecutive resource blocks, and

wherein the plurality of sets of one or more consecutive resource blocks are separated in frequency by at least one subcarrier that is not allocated to the user equipment.
