Abstract

A user equipment according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a reception unit that receives signal waveform configuration information related to either or both of a multicarrier scheme and a single carrier scheme to be applicable in uplink communication from a base station, a setting unit that sets the received signal waveform configuration information, and a transmission unit that transmits an uplink signal in accordance with the set signal waveform configuration information.

Claims (20)

1. A terminal, comprising:

a receiver that receives first radio resource control (RRC) signaling from a base station, the RRC signaling comprising a configuration with respect to application of discrete Fourier transformation;

a processor that determines whether discrete Fourier transformation is to be applied to a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) according to the RRC signaling and determines whether discrete Fourier transformation is to be applied to a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) according to the RRC signaling; and

a transmitter that transmits an uplink signal on the PUSCH and an uplink signal on the PUCCH.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the processor performs a predetermined operation, when the RRC signaling is not provided, and

determines whether discrete Fourier transformation is to be applied to the PUSCH according to the RRC signaling, when the first RRC signaling is provided.

3. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the processor determines whether discrete Fourier transform-spread-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM) is to be applied to the PUSCH.

4. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the processor determines whether discrete Fourier transform-spread-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM) is to be applied to the PUSCH.

5. An uplink signal transmission method in a terminal communicating with a base station, comprising:

receiving radio resource control (RRC) signaling from the base station, the RRC signaling comprising a configuration with respect to application of discrete Fourier transformation;

determining whether discrete Fourier transformation is to be applied to a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) according to the RRC signaling;

determining whether discrete Fourier transformation is to be applied to a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) according to the RRC signaling; and

transmitting an uplink signal on the PUSCH and an uplink signal on the PUCCH.

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

the base station comprises:

a transmitter that transmits radio resource control (RRC) signaling, the RRC signaling comprising a configuration with respect to application of discrete Fourier transformation; and

the terminal comprises:

a receiver that receives the RRC signaling from the base station;

a processor that determines whether discrete Fourier transformation is to be applied to a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) according to the RRC signaling and determines whether discrete Fourier transformation is to be applied to a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) according to the RRC signaling; and

a transmitter that transmits an uplink signal on the PUSCH and an uplink signal on the PUCCH.
