Abstract

A terminal is disclosed that includes a transmitter that transmits uplink data and uplink control information using an uplink shared channel. The terminal further includes a processor that determines, based on a bandwidth allocated to the uplink shared channel, one or more resource elements, where the one or more resource elements have a frequency interval and are used for mapping the uplink control information. In other aspects, a radio communication method for a terminal is also disclosed.

Claims (36)

1. A terminal comprising:

a transmitter that transmits uplink data and uplink control information using an uplink shared channel; and

a processor that determines, based on a bandwidth allocated to the uplink shared channel, one or more resource elements,

wherein the one or more resource elements have a time interval and a frequency interval and are used for mapping the uplink control information,

wherein the processor further maps the uplink control information, in the time interval and in the frequency interval, to the one or more resource elements,

wherein the processor determines, based on the bandwidth allocated to the uplink shared channel, the one or more resource elements to which the uplink control information is mapped in the time interval and the frequency interval, and

wherein the processor determines the frequency interval based on a number of bits available for transmission of the uplink control information in a symbol.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the processor maps the uplink data to at least one resource element other than the one or more resource elements that are used for mapping the uplink control information.

3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein, regardless of a multiplexing position of the uplink control information, the processor overwrites the uplink data, which is mapped to at least one resource element, with the uplink control information.

4. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the uplink control information comprises at least one of a delivery acknowledgement information for a downlink shared channel and a channel state information.

5. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the uplink control information comprises at least one of a delivery acknowledgement information for a downlink shared channel and a channel state information.

6. The terminal according to claim 3 , wherein the uplink control information comprises at least one of a delivery acknowledgement information for a downlink shared channel and a channel state information.

7. A radio communication method for a terminal, comprising:

transmitting uplink data and uplink control information using an uplink shared channel; and

determining, based on a bandwidth allocated to the uplink shared channel, one or more resource elements,

wherein the one or more resource elements have a time interval and a frequency interval and are used for mapping the uplink control information;

mapping the uplink control information, in the time interval and in the frequency interval, to the one or more resource elements;

determining, based on the bandwidth allocated to the uplink shared channel, the one or more resource elements to which the uplink control information is mapped in the time interval and the frequency interval; and

determining the frequency interval based on a number of bits available for transmission of the uplink control information in a symbol.

8. A base station comprising:

a receiver that receives uplink data and uplink control information on uplink shared channel; and

a processor that determines, based on a bandwidth allocated to the uplink shared channel, one or more resource elements to which the uplink control information is mapped,

wherein the one or more resource elements have a time interval and a frequency interval,

wherein the uplink control information is mapped, in the time interval and in the frequency interval, to the one or more resource elements,

wherein the processor determines, based on the bandwidth allocated to the uplink shared channel, the one or more resource elements to which the uplink control information is mapped in the time interval and the frequency interval, and

wherein the processor determines the frequency interval based on a number of bits available for transmission of the uplink control information in a symbol.

9. A system comprising a terminal and a base station, wherein:

the terminal comprises:

a transmitter that transmits uplink data and uplink control information using an uplink shared channel; and

a processor that determines, based on a bandwidth allocated to the uplink shared channel, one or more resource elements,

wherein the one or more resource elements have a time interval and a frequency interval and are used for mapping the uplink control information,

wherein the processor further maps the uplink control information, in the time interval and in the frequency interval, to the one or more resource elements,

wherein the processor determines, based on the bandwidth allocated to the uplink shared channel, the one or more resource elements to which the uplink control information is mapped in the time interval and the frequency interval, and

wherein the processor determines the frequency interval based on a number of bits available for transmission of the uplink control information in a symbol; and

the base station comprises:

a receiver that receives the uplink data and the uplink control information on the uplink shared channel.
