Abstract

A terminal is disclosed including a receiver that receives information indicating one of a first Resource Block Group (RBG) configuration and a second RBG configuration by which a plurality of RBG size candidates are respectively configured, and a processor that determines a RBG size out of RBG size candidates included in an RBG configuration selected out of the first RBG configuration and the second RBG configuration. In other aspects a radio communication method is also disclosed.

Claims (34)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives higher layer signaling indicating one of a first Resource Block Group (RBG) configuration and a second RBG configuration by which a plurality of RBG size candidates are respectively configured; and

a processor that determines a RBG size out of RBG size candidates included in an RBG configuration selected out of the first RBG configuration and the second RBG configuration,

wherein the processor determines the RBG size based on a number of resource blocks of a specified bandwidth,

wherein an allocation based on the first RBG configuration and an allocation based on the second RBG configuration are supported in a same time domain, and

wherein some of the RBG size candidates included in the first RBG configuration overlap with the RBG size candidates included in the second RBG configuration while at least one of the RBG size candidates included in the first RBG configuration does not overlap with the RBG size candidates included in the second RBG configuration.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the processor determines a number of bits of a frequency resource assignment field, included in a downlink control information, based on the RBG size and the number of resource blocks of the specified bandwidth.

3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the specified bandwidth is configured by higher layer.

4. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the processor controls allocation of at least one of a downlink shared channel and an uplink shared channel based on the RBG size.

5. A radio communication method for a terminal comprising:

receiving, by the terminal, higher layer signaling wherein the higher layer signaling indicates one of a first Resource Block Group (RBG) configuration and a second RBG configuration by which a plurality of RBG size candidates are respectively configured; and

determining, by the terminal, a RBG size out of RBG size candidates included in an RBG configuration selected out of the first RBG configuration and the second RBG configuration,

wherein the RBG size is determined based on a number of resource blocks of a specified bandwidth,

wherein an allocation based on the first RBG configuration and an allocation based on the second RBG configuration are supported in a same time domain, and

wherein some of the RBG size candidates included in the first RBG configuration overlap with the RBG size candidates included in the second RBG configuration while at least one of the RBG size candidates included in the first RBG configuration does not overlap with the RBG size candidates included in the second RBG configuration.

6. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the specified bandwidth is configured from a base station.

7. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the processor controls allocation of at least one of a downlink shared channel and an uplink shared channel based on the RBG size.

8. The terminal according to claim 3 , wherein the processor controls allocation of at least one of a downlink shared channel and an uplink shared channel based on the RBG size.

9. A base station comprising:

a transmitter that transmits higher layer signaling indicating one of a first Resource Block Group (RBG) configuration and a second RBG configuration by which a plurality of RBG size candidates are respectively configured; and

a processor that determines a RBG size to be used out of RBG size candidates included in an RBG configuration selected out of the first RBG configuration and the second RBG configuration,

wherein the processor determines the RBG size based on a number of resource blocks of a specified bandwidth,

wherein an allocation based on the first RBG configuration and an allocation based on the second RBG configuration are supported in a same time domain, and

wherein some of the RBG size candidates included in the first RBG configuration overlap with the RBG size candidates included in the second RBG configuration while at least one of the RBG size candidates included in the first RBG configuration does not overlap with the RBG size candidates included in the second RBG configuration.

10. A system comprising a terminal and a base station, wherein

the terminal comprises:

a receiver that receives higher layer signaling indicating one of a first Resource Block Group (RBG) configuration and a second RBG configuration by which a plurality of RBG size candidates are respectively configured; and

a processor that determines a RBG size out of RBG size candidates included in an RBG configuration selected out of the first RBG configuration and the second RBG configuration,

wherein the processor determines the RBG size based on a number of resource blocks of a specified bandwidth,

wherein an allocation based on the first RBG configuration and an allocation based on the second RBG configuration are supported in a same time domain, and

wherein some of the RBG size candidates included in the first RBG configuration overlap with the RBG size candidates included in the second RBG configuration while at least one of the RBG size candidates included in the first RBG configuration does not overlap with the RBG size candidates included in the second RBG configuration; and

the base station comprises:

a transmitter that transmits the higher layer signaling; and

a processor that determines the RBG size.
