Abstract

A terminal device includes means of determining resource elements to which a physical downlink shared channel is mapped for transmission on the physical downlink shared channel in a non-MBSFN subframe that is scheduled by using a downlink control information format 1A based on positions of cell-specific reference signals that are provided by using a physical layer cell identity.

Claims (24)

1. A user equipment comprising:

receiving circuitry that monitors, in a non-MBSFN (Multicast/Broadcast over Single Frequency Network) subframe, a first physical downlink control channel with CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) scrambled by C-RNTI (Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier) with a first downlink control information format and a second physical downlink control channel with CRC scrambled by the C-RNTI with a second downlink control information format, the first downlink control information format not including downlink control information, the second downlink control information format including the downlink control information, the downlink control information indicating one parameter set from a plurality of parameter sets configured by a higher layer signal, each of the plurality of parameter sets providing a frequency shift and a number of antenna ports,

wherein the receiving circuitry decodes, based on a detection of the first downlink control information format, a physical downlink shared channel in the non-MBSFN subframe, resource elements to which the physical downlink shared channel is mapped being determined based on positions of cell-specific reference signals that are given by using a physical layer cell identity, and

wherein the first physical downlink control channel is monitored in a user equipment-specific search space and a common search space.

2. The user equipment according to claim 1 , wherein

the second physical downlink control channel is monitored only in a user equipment-specific search space.

3. A base station device comprising:

transmitting circuitry that transmits, in a non-MBSFN (Multicast/Broadcast over Single Frequency Network) subframe, a first physical downlink control channel with CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) scrambled by C-RNTI (Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier) with a first downlink control information format and a second physical downlink control channel with CRC scrambled by the C-RNTI with a second downlink control information format, the first downlink control information format not including downlink control information, the second downlink control information format including the downlink control information, the downlink control information indicating one parameter set from a plurality of parameter sets configured by a higher layer signal, each of the plurality of parameter sets providing a frequency shift and a number of antenna ports,

wherein the transmitting circuitry transmits, based on the first downlink control information format, a physical downlink shared channel in the non-MBSFN subframe, resource elements to which the physical downlink shared channel is mapped being determined based on positions of cell-specific reference signals that are given by using a physical layer cell identity, and

wherein the first physical downlink control channel is transmitted in a user equipment-specific search space and a common search space.

4. The base station device according to claim 3 , wherein

the second physical downlink control channel is monitored only in a user equipment-specific search space.

5. A communication method of a user equipment, the communication method comprising:

monitoring, in a non-MBSFN (Multicast/Broadcast over Single Frequency Network) subframe, a first physical downlink control channel with CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) scrambled by C-RNTI (Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier) with a first downlink control information format and a second physical downlink control channel with CRC scrambled by the C-RNTI with a second downlink control information format, the first downlink control information format not including downlink control information, the second downlink control information format including the downlink control information, the downlink control information indicating one parameter set from a plurality of parameter sets configured by a higher layer signal, each of the plurality of parameter sets providing a frequency shift and a number of antenna ports; and

decoding, based on a detection of the first downlink control information format, a physical downlink shared channel in the non-MBSFN subframe, resource elements to which the physical downlink shared channel is mapped being determined based on positions of cell-specific reference signals that are given by using a physical layer cell identity,

wherein the first physical downlink control channel is monitored in a user equipment-specific search space and a common search space.

6. The communication method according to claim 5 , wherein

the second physical downlink control channel is monitored only in a user equipment-specific search space.

7. A communication method of a base station device, the communication method comprising:

transmitting, in a non-MBSFN (Multicast/Broadcast over Single Frequency Network) subframe, a first physical downlink control channel with CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) scrambled by C-RNTI (Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier) with a first downlink control information format and a second physical downlink control channel with CRC scrambled by the C-RNTI with a second downlink control information format, the first downlink control information format not including downlink control information, the second downlink control information format including the downlink control information, the downlink control information indicating one parameter set from a plurality of parameter sets configured by a higher layer signal, each of the plurality of parameter sets providing a frequency shift and a number of antenna ports; and

transmitting, based on the first downlink control information format, a physical downlink shared channel in the non-MBSFN subframe, resource elements to which the physical downlink shared channel is mapped being determined based on positions of cell-specific reference signals that are given by using a physical layer cell identity,

wherein the first physical downlink control channel is transmitted in a user equipment-specific search space and a common search space.

8. The communication method according to claim 7 , wherein

the second physical downlink control channel is monitored only in a user equipment-specific search space.
