Abstract

A radio terminal according to one embodiment comprises a controller configured to transmit a physical uplink shared channel to a base station by an interlace mapping using a plurality of resource blocks distributed on a frequency axis while overlapping on a time axis. The controller receives, from the base station, control channel information on a time-frequency resource used for transmitting the physical uplink control channel. The controller stops transmission in a specific resource block corresponding to the time-frequency resource from among the plurality of resource blocks, based on the control channel information.

Claims (30)

1. A user equipment comprising:

a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the processor configured to

receive a dedicated signaling including interlace related information, from a base station,

transmit an interlaced physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) based on the interlace related information, and

transmit an interlaced physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) based on the interlace related information, wherein

resource blocks used for the interlaced PUCCH transmission are arranged with a predetermined frequency interval, and

the processor is further configured to:

receive, from the base station, first information and second information via a dedicated radio resource control (RRC) signaling, the first information indicating a resource block set allocated for PUCCH transmission, the second information indicating an interlace index,

in response to receiving the interlace related information, determine first resource blocks comprising an interlace based on the interlace index and select, as second resource blocks, certain resource blocks included in both the first resource blocks and the resource block set, and

transmit the interlaced PUCCH transmission using the second resource blocks.

2. The user equipment according to claim 1 , wherein

the second resource blocks include a pair of resource blocks located at both ends of a system bandwidth within one slot.

3. A method comprising;

receiving, by a user equipment, a dedicated signaling including interlace related information from a base station;

transmitting, by the user equipment, an interlaced physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) based on the interlace related information; and

transmitting, by the user equipment, an interlaced physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) based on the interlace related information, wherein

resource blocks used for the interlaced PUCCH transmission are arranged with a predetermined frequency interval, and

the method further comprises

receiving, by the user equipment, from the base station, first information and second information via a dedicated radio resource control (RRC) signaling, the first information indicating a resource block set allocated for PUCCH transmission, the second information indicating an interlace index;

in response to receiving the interlace related information, determining first resource blocks comprising an interlace based on the interlace index and selecting, as second resource blocks, certain resource blocks included in both the first resource blocks and the resource block set; and

transmitting the interlaced PUCCH transmission using the second resource blocks.

4. An apparatus for controlling a user equipment, the apparatus comprising a processor and a memory, the processor configured to:

receive a dedicated signaling including interlace related information, from a base station,

transmit an interlaced physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) based on the interlace related information, and

transmit an interlaced physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) based on the interlace related information, wherein

resource blocks used for the interlaced PUCCH transmission are arranged with a predetermined frequency interval, and

the controller processor is further configured to:

receive, from the base station, first information and second information via a dedicated radio resource control (RRC) signaling, the first information indicating a resource block set allocated for PUCCH transmission, the second information indicating an interlace index,

in response to receiving the interlace related information, determine first resource blocks comprising an interlace based on the interlace index and select, as second resource blocks, certain resource blocks included in both the first resource blocks and the resource block set; and

transmit the interlaced PUCCH transmission using the second resource blocks.
