Abstract
A terminal is disclosed, which is capable of appropriately determining a resource to which a DCI is mapped. A DCI receiver (203) receives first and second downlink (DL) control signals, and a signal demultiplexer (202) demultiplexes a DL data signal from a received signal, using the first and the second DL control signals. The DCI receiver (203) identifies a resource for the second DL control signal based on information on the first DL control signal, or information on the DL data signal, indicated by the first DL control signal.
Claims8
A terminal comprising:
- a receiver, which in operation, receives a first downlink (DL) control signal and a second DL control signal;
- and
- circuitry, which, in operation, demultiplexes a DL data signal from a received signal, using the first DL control signal and the second DL control signal, wherein
- the receiver identifies a resource size for the second DL control signal based on a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) for the DL data signal, indicated by the first DL control signal.
A communication method comprising:
- receiving a first downlink (DL) control signal and a second DL control signal;
- and
- demultiplexing a DL data signal from a received signal, using the first DL control signal and the second DL control signal, wherein
- a resource size for the second DL control signal is identified based on a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) for the DL data signal, indicated by the first DL control signal.
