Abstract

A terminal is disclosed including a transmitter and a processor. The transmitter transmits uplink control information in an uplink control channel. The processor uses either a first uplink control channel format using a cyclic shift that depends on the uplink control information or a second uplink control channel format not using the cyclic shift that depends on the uplink control information, to transmit the uplink control information, based on a number of bits of the uplink control information and a type of the uplink control information. In other aspects, a radio communication method for a terminal is also disclosed.

Claims (34)

1. A terminal comprising:

a processor that uses either

a first uplink control channel format or

a second uplink control channel format,

to transmit uplink control information, based on a number of bits of the uplink control information and a type of the uplink control information; and

a transmitter that transmits the uplink control information in an uplink control channel,

wherein the first uplink control channel format is transmitted without a demodulation reference signal and with a sequence based on a cyclic shift that depends on the uplink control information,

when the first uplink control channel format is transmitted over two symbols, the cyclic shift hops between the two symbols, and

the second uplink control channel format is transmitted with the demodulation reference signal and without a sequence based on a cyclic shift that depends on the uplink control information.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the processor controls the transmission of the uplink control information, which includes Hybrid Automatic Repeat request-Acknowledge (HARQ-ACK) in 2 bits or less, by using the first uplink control channel format.

3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the processor controls the transmission of the uplink control information, which includes Channel State Information (CSI) and is in more than 2 bits, by using the second uplink control channel format.

4. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the processor controls the transmission of the uplink control information, which includes the HARQ-ACK in 2 bits or less and includes a positive Scheduling Request (SR) or a negative SR, by using the first uplink control channel format.

5. The terminal according to 1 , wherein when the uplink control information transmitted using the first uplink control channel format includes the HARQ-ACK in 2 bits, an interval of four cyclic shifts based on four values of the HARQ-ACK, respectively, is π/2.

6. A radio communication method for a terminal, comprising:

using either

a first uplink control channel format or

a second uplink control channel format,

to transmit uplink control information, based on a number of bits of the uplink control information and a type of the uplink control information; and

transmitting the uplink control information in an uplink control channel,

wherein the first uplink control channel format is transmitted without a demodulation reference signal and with a sequence based on a cyclic shift that depends on the uplink control information,

when the first uplink control channel format is transmitted over two symbols, the cyclic shift hops between the two symbols, and

the second uplink control channel format is transmitted with the demodulation reference signal and without a sequence based on a cyclic shift that depends on the uplink control information.

7. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the processor controls the transmission of the uplink control information, which includes Channel State Information (CSI) and is in more than 2 bits, by using the second uplink control channel format.

8. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein when the uplink control information transmitted using the first uplink control channel format includes the HARQ-ACK in 2 bits, an interval of four cyclic shifts based on four values of the HARQ-ACK, respectively, is π/2.

9. The terminal according to claim 3 , wherein when the uplink control information transmitted using the first uplink control channel format includes the HARQ-ACK in 2 bits, an interval of four cyclic shifts based on four values of the HARQ-ACK, respectively, is π/2.

10. The terminal according to claim 4 , wherein when the uplink control information transmitted using the first uplink control channel format includes the HARQ-ACK in 2 bits, an interval of four cyclic shifts based on four values of the HARQ-ACK, respectively, is π/2.

11. A system comprising:

a terminal that comprises:

a processor that uses either a first uplink control channel format or a second uplink control channel format, for transmission of uplink control information, based on a number of bits of the uplink control information and a type of the uplink control information; and

a transmitter that transmits the uplink control information in an uplink control channel; and

a base station that receives the uplink control information,

wherein the first uplink control channel format is transmitted without a demodulation reference signal and with a sequence based on a cyclic shift that depends on the uplink control information,

when the first uplink control channel format is transmitted over two symbols, the cyclic shift hops between the two symbols, and

the second uplink control channel format is transmitted with the demodulation reference signal and without a sequence based on a cyclic shift that depends on the uplink control information.
