Abstract
A communication device and a communication method capable of suppressing an increase of bits used for a request to send a reference signal and flexibly setting a resource used for sending a reference signal. In a base station (100), a transmission processing unit (104) transmits, in one of a plurality of formats, control information containing a request to send a sounding reference signal (A-SRS), and a reception processing unit (108) receives the transmitted A-SRS using the resource specified by the format of the transmitted control information. Then, the plurality of formats is associated with each different SRS resource by a setting unit (101).
Claims16
A communication apparatus comprising:
- a receiving section that receives control information in one of a plurality of formats, the control information including a transmission request for sounding reference signals (SRS);
- and
- a transmitting section that transmits the SRS, using a resource identified by the format of the received control information, wherein
- the plurality of formats are respectively associated with different resource configuration numbers identifying the resources.
A communication apparatus comprising:
- a transmitting section that transmits control information in one of a plurality of formats, the control information including a transmission request for sounding reference signals (SRS);
- and
- a receiving section that receives the SRS transmitted using a resource identified by the format of the control information, wherein
- the plurality of formats are respectively associated with different resource configuration numbers identifying the resources.
A communication method comprising:
- identifying a resource from a format of control information including a transmission request for sounding reference signals (SRS) received in one of a plurality of formats;
- transmitting the SRS using the identified resource, wherein
- the plurality of formats are respectively associated with different resource configuration numbers identifying the resources.
