Claims10
A base station, comprising:
- control circuitry, which, in operation, controls communication in units of virtual symbols in a virtual slot, the virtual slot being composed of symbols in a plurality of slots, a total number of the virtual symbols in the virtual slot being equal to a total number of symbols in each of the plurality of slots, each of the virtual symbols including a plurality of consecutive symbols of the symbols in the plurality of slots associated in one unit, a signal in the plurality of consecutive symbols being subject to repetition;
- communication circuitry, which, in operation, performs the communication;
- and
- transmission circuitry, which, in operation, transmits information on a total number of the plurality of consecutive symbols composing each of the virtual symbols in the virtual slot,
- wherein the virtual slot starts from any symbol position which is different from a boundary of a normal slot.
