Abstract

A terminal according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes a control section that reduces a resource to which at least one of an uplink channel and a sounding reference signal (SRS) is mapped, in a case that a first resource provided for the uplink channel overlaps a second resource provided for the SRS, and a transmitting section that performs at least one of a transmission of the uplink channel and a transmission of the SRS. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, in a case that a resource provided for an uplink transmission overlaps a resource provided for an SRS, appropriate processing is performed.

Claims (18)

1. A terminal comprising:

a processor that reduces a resource to which at least one of an uplink channel and a sounding reference signal (SRS) is mapped, in a case that a first resource provided for the uplink channel overlaps a second resource provided for the SRS; and

a transmitter that performs at least one of a transmission of the uplink channel and a transmission of the SRS,

wherein, in each of a plurality of slots, the uplink channel for the slot is mapped to any one of an arrangement of a resource not overlapping a resource provided for an SRS, an arrangement same as that for a resource not overlapping a resource provided for an SRS in an initial slot of the plurality of slots, and an arrangement of a resource not overlapping a resource provided for an SRS in any of the plurality of slots.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the processor does not map the uplink channel to at least part of the first resource, and maps the SRS to a whole of the second resource.

3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein in a case that the first resource overlaps the second resource, and a third resource for a retransmission of the uplink channel is provided, the processor maps the retransmission to any one of a portion of the third resource not overlapping a resource provided for another SRS, a fourth resource with an arrangement same as that for an initial transmission of the uplink channel in the third resource, and a portion of the fourth resource not overlapping a resource provided for another SRS.

4. A radio communication method for a terminal, the radio communication method comprising:

reducing a resource to which at least one of an uplink channel and a sounding reference signal (SRS) is mapped, in a case that a first resource provided for the uplink channel overlaps a second resource provided for the SRS; and

performing at least one of a transmission of the uplink channel and a transmission of the SRS,

wherein, in each of a plurality of slots, the uplink channel for the slot is mapped to any one of an arrangement of a resource not overlapping a resource provided for an SRS, an arrangement same as that for a resource not overlapping a resource provided for an SRS in an initial slot of the plurality of slots, and an arrangement of a resource not overlapping a resource provided for an SRS in any of the plurality of slots.

5. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein in a case that the first resource overlaps the second resource, and a third resource for a retransmission of the uplink channel is provided, the processor maps the retransmission to any one of a portion of the third resource not overlapping a resource provided for another SRS, a fourth resource with an arrangement same as that for an initial transmission of the uplink channel in the third resource, and a portion of the fourth resource not overlapping a resource provided for another SRS.

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

the terminal comprises:

a processor that reduces a resource to which at least one of an uplink channel and a sounding reference signal (SRS) is mapped, in a case that a first resource provided for the uplink channel overlaps a second resource provided for the SRS; and

a transmitter that performs at least one of a transmission of the uplink channel and a transmission of the SRS,

wherein, in each of a plurality of slots, the uplink channel for the slot is mapped to any one of an arrangement of a resource not overlapping a resource provided for an SRS, an arrangement same as that for a resource not overlapping a resource provided for an SRS in an initial slot of the plurality of slots, and an arrangement of a resource not overlapping a resource provided for an SRS in any of the plurality of slots, and

the base station comprises:

a receiver that receives the uplink channel and receives the SRS.
