Radio communication system, radio base station apparatus, user terminal and communication control method

A user terminal comprising:

• a receiving section that receives a physical downlink control channel and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) from a radio base station apparatus that applies coordinated multi-point (CoMP) transmission;
• a detection section that specifies a given rate matching pattern based on specific bit data included in downlink control information that is transmitted using the physical downlink control channel,
• wherein the detection section specifies the given rate matching pattern by using a table in which rate matching patterns are associated with bit data, and
• wherein the rate matching patterns of the table include a rate matching pattern corresponding to a frame configuration having no resource for allocating the physical downlink control channel and/or a cell-specific reference signal (CRS).

A radio communication method for a radio base station apparatus that applies coordinated multi-point (CoMP) transmission to a user terminal,

• generating downlink control information including given bit data based on a table in which rate matching patterns are associated with bit data;
• and
• transmitting a physical downlink control channel including the downlink control information and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH),
• wherein the rate matching patterns of the table include a rate matching pattern corresponding to a frame configuration having no resource for allocating the physical downlink control channel and/or a cell-specific reference signal (CRS).
