Abstract

The present invention is designed so that uplink control channels can be transmitted adequately even in carriers in which listening is required prior to transmission. According to one aspect of the present invention, a user terminal has a transmission section that transmits an uplink control signal in an uplink control channel in a given carrier, and a control section that exerts control to map the uplink control channel to a plurality of frequency resources which are discretely distributed in a frequency direction, at a same timing.

Claims (24)

1. A terminal comprising:

a transmitter that transmits an uplink control signal in an uplink control channel; and

a processor that maps the uplink control channel according to given uplink control channel format 2 or 3 to two or more interlaces,

wherein the interlaces are each configured with a plurality of frequency resources which are discretely distributed in a frequency direction, and

the processor exerts control to apply an orthogonal code to the uplink control channel, mapped to the plurality of frequency resources which are discretely distributed in the frequency direction, in a frequency domain.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitter transmits the uplink control channel in a carrier in which listening is performed before uplink transmission.

3. A radio communication method for a terminal, the method comprising:

transmitting an uplink control signal in an uplink control channel;

mapping the uplink control channel according to given uplink control channel format 2 or 3 to two or more interlaces,

wherein the interlaces are each configured with a plurality of frequency resources which are discretely distributed in a frequency direction; and

applying an orthogonal code to the uplink control channel, mapped to the plurality of frequency resources which are discretely distributed in the frequency direction, in a frequency domain.

4. A base station comprising:

a processor that controls to receive an uplink control channel according to given uplink control channel format 2 or 3 mapped to two or more interlaces,

the interlaces being each configured with a plurality of frequency resources which are discretely distributed in a frequency direction; and

a receiver that receives an uplink control signal in the uplink control channel,

wherein an orthogonal code is applied to the uplink control channel, mapped to the plurality of frequency resources which are discretely distributed in the frequency direction, in a frequency domain.

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

the terminal comprises:

a transmitter that transmits an uplink control signal in an uplink control channel; and

a processor of the terminal that maps the uplink control channel according to given uplink control channel format 2 or 3 to two or more interlaces,

wherein the interlaces are each configured with a plurality of frequency resources which are discretely distributed in a frequency direction, and the processor of the terminal exerts control to apply an orthogonal code to the uplink control channel, mapped to the plurality of frequency resources which are discretely distributed in the frequency direction, in a frequency domain; and

the base station comprises:

a processor of the base station that controls to receive the uplink control channel according to the given uplink control channel format 2 or 3 mapped to the two or more interlaces,

a receiver that receives the uplink control signal in the uplink control channel.
