Abstract

The present invention is designated to appropriately control intra-slot frequency hopping of an uplink channel/signal. A user terminal of the present invention includes a transmitting section that transmits an uplink data channel in one slot or over a plurality of slots, a receiving section that receives information related to frequency resource to which the uplink data channel is to be mapped, and a control section that controls frequency hopping of the uplink data channel in each slot, based on the information related to the frequency resource.

Claims (30)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives downlink control information that includes predetermined bits,

wherein a number of the predetermined bits of the downlink control information is derived based on a bandwidth of an uplink bandwidth part; and

a processor that controls intra-slot frequency hopping of an uplink shared channel based on a frequency offset indicated by using the predetermined bits in the downlink control information,

wherein the number of bits of the predetermined bits is 1 when the bandwidth of the uplink bandwidth part is smaller than a predetermined value, or 2 when the bandwidth of the uplink bandwidth part is equal to or greater than the predetermined value.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the processor also controls the intra-slot frequency hopping based on a frequency resource for the uplink shared channel derived by using bits other than the predetermined bits of a predetermined field in the downlink control information.

3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the frequency offset is a frequency offset in resource blocks between a first hop and a second hop.

4. The terminal according to claim 1 , further comprising a transmitter that transmits the uplink shared channel in a single slot or a plurality of slots.

5. A radio communication method in a terminal, the radio communication method comprising:

receiving downlink control information that includes predetermined bits,

wherein a number of the predetermined bits of the downlink control information is derived based on a bandwidth of an uplink bandwidth part; and

controlling intra-slot frequency hopping of an uplink shared channel based on a frequency offset indicated by using the predetermined bits in the downlink control information,

wherein the number of bits of the predetermined bits is 1 when the bandwidth of the uplink bandwidth part is smaller than a predetermined value, or 2 when the bandwidth of the uplink bandwidth part is equal to or greater than the predetermined value.

6. A radio base station comprising:

a transmitter that transmits downlink control information that includes predetermined bits,

wherein a number of the predetermined bits of the downlink control information is derived based on a bandwidth of an uplink bandwidth part; and

a processor that controls a reception of an uplink shared channel to which intra-slot frequency hopping is applied based on a frequency offset indicated by using the predetermined bits in the downlink control information,

wherein the number of bits of the predetermined bits is 1 when the bandwidth of the uplink bandwidth part is smaller than a predetermined value, or 2 when the bandwidth of the uplink bandwidth part is equal to or greater than the predetermined value.

7. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the frequency offset is a frequency offset in resource blocks between a first hop and a second hop.

8. The terminal according to claim 2 , further comprising a transmitter that transmits the uplink shared channel in a single slot or a plurality of slots.

9. The terminal according to claim 3 , further comprising a transmitter that transmits the uplink shared channel in a single slot or a plurality of slots.

10. A system comprising:

a terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives downlink control information that includes predetermined bits,

wherein a number of the predetermined bits of the downlink control information is derived based on a bandwidth of an uplink bandwidth part; and

a processor of the terminal that controls intra-slot frequency hopping of an uplink shared channel based on a frequency offset indicated by using the predetermined bits in the downlink control information,

wherein the number of bits of the predetermined bits is 1 when the bandwidth of the uplink bandwidth part is smaller than a predetermined value, or 2 when the bandwidth of the uplink bandwidth part is equal to or greater than the predetermined value, and

a radio base station comprising:

a transmitter that transmits the downlink control information that includes the predetermined bits; and

a processor of the radio base station that controls a reception of the uplink shared channel to which the intra-slot frequency hopping is applied.
