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.
Claims20
A process controlled by an integrated circuit, the process comprising:
- generating a first control signal and a second control signal;
- and
- transmitting the first control signal, the second control signal, and a data signal,
- wherein a resource for the second control signal is identified based on information related to the data signal indicated by the first control signal, and a resource size for the second control signal is identified in accordance with a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) for the data signal.
An integrated circuit, which comprises circuitry configured to:
- generate a first control signal and a second control signal;
- and
- control transmitting the first control signal, the second control signal, and a data signal,
- wherein a resource for the second control signal is identified based on information related to the data signal indicated by the first control signal, and a resource size for the second control signal is identified in accordance with a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) for the data signal.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having contents which cause processing circuitry to perform a method, the method comprising:
- generating a first control signal and a second control signal;
- and
- transmitting the first control signal, the second control signal, and a data signal,
- wherein a resource for the second control signal is identified based on information related to the data signal indicated by the first control signal, and a resource size for the second control signal is identified in accordance with a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) for the data signal.
