Abstract

A terminal apparatus using large FFT points transmits a reference signal such that short OFDM symbols are repeated.

Claims (14)

1. A terminal apparatus for communicating with a base station apparatus, the terminal apparatus comprising:

a reception unit configured to receive downlink control information from the base station apparatus;

a resource element mapping unit configured to map a data orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) signal to subcarriers of OFDM and a reference signal to subcarriers of OFDM; and

a signal generation unit configured to transmit a transmission signal including the reference OFDM signal and the data OFDM signal, wherein

the downlink control information includes information on the number of repetitions of reference OFDM signal, and

the resource element mapping unit is configured to change the number of repetitions of reference OFDM signal according to the information on the repetition of the reference OFDM signal.

2. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the information on the number of repetitions is configured according to a subcarrier spacing of the subcarriers.

3. A terminal apparatus for communicating with a base station apparatus, the terminal apparatus comprising the steps of:

receiving downlink control information from the base station apparatus;

mapping a data signal to subcarriers of orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) and a reference signal to subcarriers of OFDM; and

transmitting a transmission signal including a reference OFDM signal and a data OFDM signal, wherein

the downlink control information includes information on the number of repetitions of the reference OFDM signal, and

the mapping changes the number of repetitions of the reference OFDM signal according to the information on the repetition of the reference OFDM signal.
