Abstract

A terminal is disclosed including a transmitter that transmits an uplink shared channel; and a processor that determines, when frequency hopping is applied to the uplink shared channel, a symbol for a demodulation reference signal of the uplink shared channel based on a mapping type of the uplink shared channel by using a start symbol of each hop as a reference point. In other aspects, a radio communication method is also disclosed.

Claims (21)

1. A terminal comprising:

a transmitter that transmits an uplink shared channel; and

a processor that determines, in response to frequency hopping being applied to the uplink shared channel, a symbol for a demodulation reference signal of the uplink shared channel based on a mapping type of the uplink shared channel by using a start symbol of each hop as a reference point,

wherein in response to the mapping type being type A in which a start symbol of the uplink shared channel is fixed, the processor determines the symbol for the demodulation reference signal based on an index of a first symbol for the demodulation reference signal.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , further comprising a receiver that receives the index of the first symbol for the demodulation reference signal by higher layer signaling.

3. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein in response to the mapping type being type B in which the start symbol of the uplink shared channel is not fixed, an index of a first symbol for the demodulation reference signal is 0.

4. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the processor determines the symbol for the demodulation reference signal of the uplink shared channel based on a higher layer parameter that indicates a position of an additional demodulation reference signal.

5. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein in response to the mapping type being type B in which a start symbol of the uplink shared channel is not fixed, an index of a first symbol for the demodulation reference signal is 0.

6. The terminal according to claim 5 , wherein the processor determines the symbol for the demodulation reference signal of the uplink shared channel based on a higher layer parameter that indicates a position of an additional demodulation reference signal.

7. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the processor determines the symbol for the demodulation reference signal of the uplink shared channel based on a higher layer parameter that indicates a position of an additional demodulation reference signal.

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

transmitting an uplink shared channel;

in response to frequency hopping being applied to the uplink shared channel, determining a symbol for a demodulation reference signal of the uplink shared channel based on a mapping type of the uplink shared channel by using a start symbol of each hop as a reference point; and

in response to the mapping type being type A in which a start symbol of the uplink shared channel is fixed, determining the symbol for the demodulation reference signal based on an index of a first symbol for the demodulation reference signal.

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

the terminal comprises:

a transmitter that transmits an uplink shared channel; and

a processor that determines, in response to frequency hopping being applied to the uplink shared channel, a symbol for a demodulation reference signal of the uplink shared channel based on a mapping type of the uplink shared channel by using a start symbol of each hop as a reference point,

wherein in response to the mapping type being type A in which a start symbol of the uplink shared channel is fixed, the processor determines the symbol for the demodulation reference signal based on an index of a first symbol for the demodulation reference signal,

the base station comprises:

a receiver that receives the uplink shared channel.
