Abstract

A terminal apparatus for communicating with a base station apparatus, the terminal apparatus including: a transmission unit configured to transmit a Phase-tracking reference signal (PTRS); and a higher layer processing unit configured to configure information of mapping of the PTRS. An antenna port for the PTRS is associated with an antenna port for a Demodulation reference signal (DMRS).

Claims (28)

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

receiving circuitry configured to receive:

first information indicating whether discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM) is selected for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), and

second information for configuring time density of a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) for the DFT-S-OFDM;

multiplexing circuitry configured to map the PTRS to symbols of resources for the PUSCH before discrete Fourier transform (DFT) spreading based on the second information in a case that the first information indicates that the DFT-S-OFDM is selected; and

transmitting circuitry configured to transmit a PUSCH signal and the PTRS, wherein the PTRS is transmitted on a plurality of discontinuous symbols in a time domain within a physical resource block (PRB) and on only one subcarrier in a frequency domain within the PRB,

wherein a first of the discontinuous symbols is separate from a second of the discontinuous symbols by two symbols.

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

transmitting circuitry configured to transmit:

first information indicating whether discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM) is selected for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), and

second information for configuring time density of a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) for the DFT-S-OFDM; and

receiving circuitry configured to receive a PUSCH signal and the PTRS,

wherein:

the PTRS is mapped to symbols of resources for the PUSCH before discrete Fourier transform (DFT) spreading based on the second information in a case that the first information indicates that the DFT-S-OFDM is selected; and

the PTRS is received on a plurality of discontinuous symbols in a time domain within a physical resource block (PRB) and on only one subcarrier in a frequency domain within the PRB,

wherein a first of the discontinuous symbols is separate from a second of the discontinuous symbols by two symbols.

3. A method for communicating with a base station, the method comprising:

receiving first information indicating whether discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM) is selected for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), and second information for configuring time density of a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) for the DFT-S-OFDM;

mapping the PTRS to symbols of resources for the PUSCH before discrete Fourier transform (DFT) spreading based on the second information in a case that the first information indicates that the DFT-S-OFDM is selected; and

transmitting a PUSCH signal and the PTRS, wherein the PTRS is transmitted on a plurality of discontinuous symbols in a time domain within a physical resource block (PRB) and on only one subcarrier in a frequency domain within the PRB,

wherein a first of the discontinuous symbols is separate from a second of the discontinuous symbols by two symbols.

4. A method for communicating with a terminal apparatus, the method comprising:

transmitting first information indicating whether discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM) is selected for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), and second information for configuring time density of a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) for the DFT-S-OFDM; and

receiving a PUSCH signal and the PTRS,

wherein:

the PTRS is mapped to symbols of resources for the PUSCH before discrete Fourier transform (DFT) spreading based on the second information in a case that the first information indicates that the DFT-S-OFDM is selected; and

the PTRS is received on a plurality of discontinuous symbols in a time domain within a physical resource block (PRB) and on only one subcarrier in a frequency domain within the PRB,

wherein a first of the discontinuous symbols is separate from a second of the discontinuous symbols by two symbols.
