Abstract

When using a different frequency band such as FR4, which is different from a frequency band including FR1 and FR2, the terminal uses a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) having a different density in at least one of a time direction and a frequency direction to perform transmission or reception of a signal using the PTRS.

Claims (7)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives, when using transform precoding in a secondary frequency band having a higher frequency range than a first frequency band, a phase tracking reference signal associated with the transform precoding; and

a processor that processes a received signal by using the phase tracking reference signal,

wherein an interval in time direction of the phase tracking reference signal in the secondary frequency band is greater than a maximum interval in time direction of the phase tracking reference signal in the first frequency band.

2. The terminal as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a time density of the phase tracking reference signal in the secondary frequency band is smaller than a time density in the first frequency band, and wherein the time density is a function of a modulation and coding scheme.

3. The terminal as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the density in the time direction is a function of a modulation and coding scheme, and the density in the frequency direction is a function of a scheduled bandwidth of the first frequency band.

4. The terminal as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the phase tracking reference signal is present together with at least one of a downlink data channel and an uplink data channel within a defined resource block region.
