Abstract

A terminal is provided that includes a control unit configured to generate a sequence of a sidelink reference signal that corresponds to a sequence of a reference signal for demodulating a signal between a base station and a terminal; and a transmission unit configured to transmit the generated sidelink reference signal having the sequence to another terminal.

Claims (23)

1. A terminal comprising:

a control unit configured to:

generate a sequence of a reference signal of a sidelink control channel by using a slot number in a frame and an ID number provided by a higher layer parameter, and

generate a sequence of a reference signal of a sidelink data channel by using the slot number in the frame and an ID number calculated using a value of Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) of the sidelink control channel;

a transmission unit configured to transmit the reference signal of the sidelink control channel and the reference signal of the sidelink data channel to another terminal; and

a configuration unit configured to cause a port number used for transmitting the reference signal of the sidelink data channel to be only 1000 and 1001.

2. The terminal as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the control unit applies a frequency domain orthogonal cover code to the reference signal of the sidelink data channel, and does not apply a time domain orthogonal cover code.

3. A communication method of a terminal, the method comprising:

generating a sequence of a reference signal of a sidelink control channel by using a slot number in a frame and an ID number provided by a higher layer parameter;

generating a sequence of a reference signal of a sidelink data channel by using the slot number in the frame and an ID number calculated using a value of Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) of the sidelink control channel;

transmitting the reference signal of the sidelink control channel and the reference signal of the sidelink data channel to another terminal; and

causing a port number used for transmitting the reference signal of the sidelink data channel to be only 1000 and 1001.

4. A communication system comprising: a first terminal; and a second terminal, wherein

the first terminal includes:

a control unit configured to:

generate a sequence of a reference signal of a sidelink control channel by using a slot number in a frame and an ID number provided by a higher layer parameter, and

generate a sequence of a reference signal of a sidelink data channel by using the slot number in the frame and an ID number calculated using a value of Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) of the sidelink control channel;

a configuration unit configured to:

configure a port to be used for transmitting the reference signal of the sidelink data channel, and

cause a port number used for transmitting the reference signal of the sidelink data channel to be only 1000 and 1001; and

a transmission unit configured to transmit the reference signal of the sidelink control channel and the reference signal of the sidelink data channel to the second terminal, and

the second terminal includes:

a reception unit configured to receive the reference signal of the sidelink control channel and the reference signal of the sidelink data channel from the first terminal.
