Abstract

Provided are a transmitting apparatus, a receiving apparatus and methods thereof. The transmitting apparatus includes: circuitry, which, in operation, generates a signal including a first type of reference signal used for demodulation and a second type of reference signal used for demodulation; and a transmitter, which, in operation, transmits the signal, wherein the first type of reference signal used for demodulation is mapped to a first resource, and the second type of reference signal used for demodulation is mapped to a second resource, the first type of reference signal used for demodulation is used for a first physical control channel and the second type of reference signal used for demodulation is used for a second physical control channel; or the first type of reference signal used for demodulation is used for PSCCH and the second type of reference signal used for demodulation is used for PSSCH.

Claims (24)

1. A communication apparatus, comprising:

circuitry, which, in operation, generates a signal including first reference signals used for a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) and second reference signals used for a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH); and

a transmitter, which, in operation, transmits the signal within a slot,

wherein the first reference signals are mapped to a first resource, and the second reference signals used for demodulation are mapped to a second resource which is different from the first resource,

wherein a first time interval between the first reference signals is shorter than a second time interval between the second reference signals.

2. The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a sequence of the first reference signals is different from that of the second reference signals.

3. The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a mapping of the PSCCH and a mapping of the PSSCH start from a same symbol, and the mapping of the PSCCH and the mapping of the PSSCH end at different symbols.

4. The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a symbol length used for the PSSCH is longer than that for the PSCCH.

5. The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein one or more repetition signals are transmitted in a symbol preceding the PSCCH and the PSSCH.

6. The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a preamble is transmitted in a symbol preceding the PSCCH and the PSSCH, a duration of the preamble being equal to that of one symbol of the PSCCH and the PSSCH.

7. The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a number of antenna ports is different between the PSSCH and the PSCCH.

8. A communication method, comprising:

generating a signal including first reference signals used for a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) and second reference signals used for a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH); and

transmitting the signal within a slot,

wherein the first reference signals are mapped to a first resource, and the second reference signals used for demodulation are mapped to a second resource which is different from the first resource,

wherein a first time interval between the first reference signals is shorter than a second time interval between the second reference signals.

9. The communication method according to claim 8 , wherein a sequence of the first reference signals is different from that of the second reference signals.

10. The communication method according to claim 8 , wherein a mapping of the PSCCH and a mapping of the PSSCH start from a same symbol, and the mapping of the PSCCH and the mapping of the PSSCH end at different symbols.

11. The communication method according to claim 8 , wherein a symbol length used for the PSSCH is longer than that for the PSCCH.

12. The communication method according to claim 8 , wherein one or more repetition signals are transmitted in a symbol preceding the PSCCH and the PSSCH.

13. The communication method according to claim 8 , wherein a preamble is transmitted in a symbol preceding the PSCCH and the PSSCH, a duration of the preamble being equal to that of one symbol of the PSCCH and the PSSCH.

14. The communication method according to claim 8 , wherein a number of antenna ports is different between the PSSCH and the PSCCH.

15. The communication method according to claim 8 , wherein at least a part of the first resource is frequency division multiplexed with the second resource.

16. The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein at least a part of the first resource is frequency division multiplexed with the second resource.
