Abstract
In a base station, a DCI generation unit selects one pattern (mode) for use when data is allocated from among a plurality of patterns (modes) of a resource area where data (PDSCH) is allocated, and a transmission unit provides notification about setting information regarding the plurality of patterns (modes) by signaling of a higher layer and provides notification about the one pattern (mode) selected from the plurality of patterns by a downlink control signal (DCI).
Claims11
A base station comprising:
- circuitry, which, in operation, selects one pattern to be used for data allocation from among a plurality of patterns of a resource area where data is allocated;
- and
- a transmitter, which, in operation, provides notification about setting information regarding the plurality of patterns by higher-layer signaling and provides notification about the selected one pattern by a downlink control signal (DCI).
A terminal comprising:
- a receiver, which, in operation, receives higher-layer signaling including setting information regarding a plurality of patterns of a resource area where data is allocated and receives a downlink control signal (DCI) indicating one pattern to be used for data allocation from among the plurality of patterns;
- and
- circuitry, which, in operation, specifies a resource where the data is allocated, based on the setting information and the downlink control signal.
A communication method comprising:
- selecting one pattern to be used for data allocation from among a plurality of patterns of a resource area where data is allocated;
- and
- providing notification about setting information regarding the plurality of patterns by higher-layer signaling and providing notification about the selected one pattern by a downlink control signal (DCI).
A communication method comprising:
- receiving higher-layer signaling including setting information regarding a plurality of patterns of a resource area where data is allocated and receiving a downlink control signal (DCI) indicating one pattern to be used for data allocation from among the plurality of patterns;
- and
- determining a resource where the data is allocated, based on the setting information and the downlink control signal.
