Abstract

A predetermined number of cyclic shift values are defined for a demodulation of uplink data. An available portion of the cyclic shift values from among the cyclic shift values is transmitted to user equipment. Control information for uplink data is transmitted to the user equipment via a physical control channel. The control information includes information indicating one cyclic shift value for generating a reference signal from among the portion of the cyclic shift values. The user equipment transmits the uplink data based on the control information and a reference signal for a demodulation of the uplink data.
