Abstract

Provided is a terminal which appropriately transmits and receives signals when operating in an unlicensed band. A terminal ( 200 ) is provided with: a mapping unit ( 207 ) for allocating a signal to a resource on the basis of control information indicating allocation of groups among a plurality of groups obtained by grouping a plurality of blocks into which a frequency band has been divided, and allocation of resources in the blocks; and a transmitting unit ( 209 ) for transmitting the signal.

Claims (22)

1. A communication apparatus comprising:

circuitry, which, in operation, receives control information including a first resource assignment information; and

a transmitter, which, in operation, transmits to a base station a signal on resources determined based on the first resource assignment information,

wherein the first resource assignment information indicates a set of one or more interlace indices, each of which indicating a plurality of resource blocks with a determined interval in a frequency domain,

wherein, for a first subcarrier spacing, the first resource assignment information indicates a starting interlace index and a number of contiguous interlace indices, and

wherein, for a second subcarrier spacing larger than the first subcarrier spacing, the first resource assignment information includes a bitmap indicating the set of one or more interlaces.

2. The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first resource assignment information indicates the starting interlace index and the number of contiguous interlace indices in a case where the first subcarrier spacing is smaller than or equal to a threshold.

3. The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first resource assignment information includes the bitmap indicating the set of one or more interlaces in a case where the second subcarrier spacing is larger than a threshold.

4. The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the control information includes a second resource assignment information indicating a starting resource block set index and a number of contiguous resource block sets, and

the resources are determined based on an intersection of first resource blocks of the set of one or more interlace indices and second resource blocks determined based on the second resource assignment information.

5. The communication apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein each of the contiguous resource block sets is sized 20 MHz.

6. A communication method performed by a communication apparatus comprising:

receiving control information including a first resource assignment information; and

transmitting to a base station a signal on resources determined based on the first resource assignment information,

wherein the first resource assignment information indicates a set of one or more interlace indices, each of which indicating a plurality of resource blocks with a determined interval in a frequency domain,

wherein, for a first subcarrier spacing, the first resource assignment information indicates a starting interlace index and a number of contiguous interlace indices, and

wherein, for a second subcarrier spacing larger than the first subcarrier spacing, the first resource assignment information includes a bitmap indicating the set of one or more interlaces.

7. The communication apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the first resource assignment information indicates the starting interlace index and the number of contiguous interlace indices in a case where the first subcarrier spacing is smaller than or equal to a threshold.

8. The communication apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the first resource assignment information includes the bitmap indicating the set of one or more interlaces in a case where the second subcarrier spacing is larger than a threshold.

9. The communication apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the control information includes a second resource assignment information indicating a starting resource block set index and a number of contiguous resource block sets, and

the resources are determined based on an intersection of first resource blocks of the set of one or more interlace indices and second resource blocks determined based on the second resource assignment information.

10. The communication apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein each of the contiguous resource block sets is sized 20 MHz.
