Abstract

A terminal is disclosed including a receiver that receives downlink control information (DCI) including information indicating a mapping pattern of a demodulation reference signal, and a processor that controls reception of the demodulation reference signal based on the information indicating the mapping pattern of the demodulation reference signal. In other aspects, another terminal and a radio communication method are also disclosed.

Claims (22)

1. A terminal, comprising:

a receiver that receives downlink control information (DCI) including information indicating a mapping pattern of a demodulation reference signal; and

a processor that controls reception of the demodulation reference signal based on the information indicating the mapping pattern of the demodulation reference signal,

wherein the mapping pattern of the demodulation reference signal is defined by a number of symbols to which the demodulation reference signal is mapped and a number of groups of the demodulation reference signals to be code multiplexed.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein mapping of the demodulation reference signal corresponding to a number of symbols forming a downlink signal is applied.

3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the information is an index corresponding to the number of symbols to which the demodulation reference signal is mapped and the number of groups of the demodulation reference signals to be code multiplexed.

4. A terminal, comprising:

a receiver that receives downlink control information (DCI) including information indicating a mapping pattern of a demodulation reference signal; and

a processor that controls transmission of the demodulation reference signal based on the information indicating the mapping pattern of the demodulation reference signal,

wherein the mapping pattern of the demodulation reference signal is defined by a number of symbols to which the demodulation reference signal is mapped and a number of groups of the demodulation reference signals to be code multiplexed.

5. The terminal according to claim 4 , wherein mapping of the demodulation reference signal corresponding to a number of symbols forming an uplink signal is applied.

6. A radio communication method comprising:

receiving downlink control information (DCI) including information indicating a mapping pattern of a demodulation reference signal; and

controlling transmission of the demodulation reference signal based on the information indicating the mapping pattern of the demodulation reference signal,

wherein the mapping pattern of the demodulation reference signal is defined by a number of symbols to which the demodulation reference signal is mapped and a number of groups of the demodulation reference signals to be code multiplexed.

7. A radio communication system, comprising:

a terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives downlink control information (DCI) including information indicating a mapping pattern of a demodulation reference signal, and

a processor that controls reception of the demodulation reference signal based on the information indicating the mapping pattern of the demodulation reference signal; and

a base station comprising:

a transmitter that transmits the DCI and transmits the demodulation reference signal,

wherein the mapping pattern of the demodulation reference signal is defined by a number of symbols to which the demodulation reference signal is mapped and a number of groups of the demodulation reference signals to be code multiplexed.
