Abstract

The present invention provides a terminal capable of suitably performing random access processing. In a terminal ( 100 ), a RACH resource determination unit ( 104 ) determines the format of a random access signal on the basis of a parameter related to the transmission of the random access signal, which includes a preamble part and a data part. A wireless transmission unit ( 109 ) transmits the random access signal on the basis of the format.

Claims (25)

1. A transmission apparatus, comprising;

control circuitry, which, in operation, configures a format of a random access signal including a preamble section and a data section, based on a parameter relating to transmission of the random access signal, wherein the format is a first format in which at least a part of the data section is mapped, within the random access signal, to a position immediately preceding the preamble section; and

transmission circuitry, which, in operation, transmits the random access signal based on the format, wherein the data section and the preamble section are time-multiplexed within the random access signal.

2. The transmission apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the control circuitry applies the first format when the random access signal is transmitted in an unlicensed band.

3. The transmission apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the control circuitry determines whether to apply the first format according to a category of carrier sensing.

4. The transmission apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the control circuitry determines whether to apply the first format according to a type of random access transmission.

5. The transmission apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the control circuitry controls a configuration of the data section in accordance with propagation delay.

6. The transmission apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the control circuitry configures non-transmission of a signal of the data section when the propagation delay is greater than a threshold.

7. The transmission apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein

the propagation delay is represented by a cyclic prefix (CP) length or a cyclic shift value of the preamble section, and

the threshold is a CP length of a channel different from a random access channel.

8. The transmission apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein a cyclic prefix (CP) length of the data section when the propagation delay is greater than a threshold is longer than the CP length of the data section when the propagation delay is equal to or less than the threshold.

9. The transmission apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the control circuitry configures a symbol with either an even number or an odd number in the data section for the CP of a symbol with the other number of the even number or the odd number.

10. The transmission apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein

the propagation delay is represented by a cyclic prefix (CP) length or a cyclic shift value of the preamble section, and

a CP length of the data section is configured to a CP length of a channel different from a random access channel when a CP length of the preamble section is equal to or less than a threshold.

11. A reception apparatus, comprising;

control circuitry, which, in operation, configures a format of a random access signal including a preamble section and a data section, based on a parameter relating to transmission of the random access signal, wherein the format is a first format in which at least a part of the data section is mapped, within the random access signal, to a position immediately preceding the preamble section; and

reception circuitry, which, in operation, receives the random access signal based on the format, wherein the data section and the preamble section are time-multiplexed within the random access signal.

12. A transmission method, comprising:

configuring a format of a random access signal including a preamble section and a data section, based on a parameter relating to transmission of the random access signal, wherein the format is a first format in which at least a part of the data section is mapped, within the random access signal, to a position immediately preceding the preamble section; and

transmitting the random access signal based on the format, wherein the data section and the preamble section are time-multiplexed within the random access signal.

13. A reception method, comprising:

configuring a format of a random access signal including a preamble section and a data section, based on a parameter relating to transmission of the random access signal, wherein the format is a first format in which at least a part of the data section is mapped, within the random access signal, to a position immediately preceding the preamble section; and

receiving the random access signal based on the format, wherein the data section and the preamble section are time-multiplexed within the random access signal.
