Abstract

To appropriately control intra-slot frequency hopping of an uplink channel/signal. A user terminal of the present invention includes a transmitting section that transmits an uplink control channel in one slot or over a plurality of slots, a receiving section that receives information related to a frequency resource to which the uplink control channel is to be mapped, and a control section that controls frequency hopping of the uplink control channel in each slot, based on the information related to the frequency resource.

Claims (22)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives, by higher layer signaling, at least one parameter set each including information related to a frequency resource to which an uplink control channel is to be mapped;

a processor that controls frequency hopping of the uplink control channel in each slot, based on the information related to the frequency resource determined based on the at least one parameter set and a field in downlink control information indicating a parameter set of the at least one parameter set; and

a transmitter that transmits the uplink control channel,

wherein the information related to the frequency resource includes a first index related to a first-hop frequency resource and a second index, which is different from the first index, related to second and subsequent-hop frequency resources, and

wherein when the uplink control channel is transmitted over a plurality of slots, the processor controls the frequency hopping of the uplink control channel in each slot based on information indicating which is applied between intra-slot frequency hopping in each slot and inter-slot frequency hopping over the plurality of slots.

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

receiving, by higher layer signaling, at least one parameter set each including information related to a frequency resource to which an uplink control channel is to be mapped;

controlling frequency hopping of the uplink control channel in each slot, based on the information related to the frequency resource determined based on the at least one parameter set and a field in downlink control information indicating a parameter set of the at least one parameter set;

transmitting the uplink control channel; and

when the uplink control channel is transmitted over a plurality of slots, controlling the frequency hopping of the uplink control channel in each slot based on information indicating which is applied between intra-slot frequency hopping in each slot and inter-slot frequency hopping over the plurality of slots,

wherein the information related to the frequency resource includes a first index related to a first-hop frequency resource and a second index, which is different from the first index, related to second and subsequent-hop frequency resources.

3. A radio communication system, comprising a base station and a terminal, wherein

the base station comprises;

a transmitter that transmits a higher layer signaling; and

a receiver that receives an uplink control channel, and

the terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives, by the higher layer signaling, at least one parameter set each including information related to a frequency resource to which the uplink control channel is to be mapped;

a processor that controls frequency hopping of the uplink control channel in each slot, based on the information related to the frequency resource determined based on the at least one parameter set and a field in downlink control information indicating a parameter set of the at least one parameter set; and

a transmitter that transmits the uplink control channel,

wherein the information related to the frequency resource includes a first index related to a first-hop frequency resource and a second index, which is different from the first index, related to second and subsequent-hop frequency resources, and

wherein when the uplink control channel is transmitted over a plurality of slots, the processor controls the frequency hopping of the uplink control channel in each slot based on information indicating which is applied between intra-slot frequency hopping in each slot and inter-slot frequency hopping over the plurality of slots.
