Abstract:
1. A user device, comprising: a modulation unit adapted for a system where a transmission unit configured to transmit the mapped data; and a reception unit, wherein two or more resource unit groups each including two or more resource units that are consecutive in the frequency domain are defined in the system frequency band for each of the first slot and the second slot, wherein the modulation unit is configured to map the data to a first resource unit in a first resource unit group in the first slot and to a second resource unit in a second resource unit group in the second slot such that the first resource unit group is apart from the second resource unit group by a bandwidth corresponding to a predetermined number of the resource unit groups, wherein indexes are assigned to the resource units in each of the resource unit groups, the indexes gradually increasing from 1 in a direction from a low frequency side to a high frequency side, wherein the second resource unit in the second resource unit group to which the data are mapped in the second slot is represented by a formula: (a highest index of the resource units in the second resource unit group) +1 −(an index of the first resource unit in the first resource unit group to which the data are mapped in the first slot), wherein the reception unit is configured to receive, from a base station, an uplink scheduling grant including information indicating the first resource unit and information indicating that a frequency hopping is applied to the user device, and wherein the modulation unit is configured to map the data of the user device to the first and second resource units based on the received uplink scheduling grant.
