- determination (decision) includes receiving (for example, receiving information), transmitting (for example, transmitting information), input (input), output (output), access ( accessing) (e.g., accessing data in memory), etc. may be considered to be “determining”.
- determination is considered to be “determination (resolving)”, “selecting”, “choosing”, “establishing”, “comparing”, etc. Also good. That is, “determination (determination)” may be regarded as “determination (determination)” of some operation.
- the “maximum transmission power” described in this disclosure may mean the maximum value of the transmission power, the nominal maximum transmission power (the nominal UE maximum transmit power), or the rated maximum transmission power (the rated UE maximum transmit power).
- connection is any direct or indirect connection or coupling between two or more elements. And may include the presence of one or more intermediate elements between two elements “connected” or “coupled” to each other.
- the coupling or connection between the elements may be physical, logical, or a combination thereof. For example, “connection” may be read as “access”.
- radio frequency domain microwave It can be considered to be “connected” or “coupled” to each other using electromagnetic energy having a wavelength in the region, light (both visible and invisible) region, and the like.

・周波数ホッピングが有効な場合の第2ホップの周波数リソース、初期巡回シフト(CS:Cyclic Shift)のインデックス
・時間領域(time-domain)における直交拡散符号(例えば、OCC:Orthogonal Cover Code)のインデックス、離散フーリエ変換(DFT)前のブロック拡散に用いられるOCCの長さ(OCC長、拡散率等ともいう)
・DFT後のブロック拡散(block-wise spreading)に用いられるOCCのインデックス
第1の態様では、上位レイヤシグナリング(例えば、RRCシグナリング)によって設定されるPUCCHリソースセットに含まれるPUCCHリソースの数Mが8よりも少なくてもよい。
第2の態様では、DCIとPUCCHリソースとが関連付けられてもよい。
以下、本実施の形態に係る無線通信システムの構成について説明する。この無線通信システムでは、上記各態様に係る無線通信方法が適用される。なお、上記各態様に係る無線通信方法は、それぞれ単独で適用されてもよいし、少なくとも2つを組み合わせて適用されてもよい。
図4は、本実施の形態に係る無線基地局の全体構成の一例を示す図である。無線基地局10は、複数の送受信アンテナ101と、アンプ部102と、送受信部103と、ベースバンド信号処理部104と、呼処理部105と、伝送路インターフェース106とを備えている。なお、送受信アンテナ101、アンプ部102、送受信部103は、それぞれ1つ以上を含むように構成されてもよい。
