The transmission unit 81 is configured to send or receive a signal within an STI, where the STI consists of STBs.
The STI is a downlink STI or an uplink STI, and the base station sends the signal over the downlink STI, or receives the signal over the uplink STI.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a time/frequency domain distribution density of the uplink STI is greater than or equal to a time/frequency domain distribution density of the downlink STI.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, STBs in the downlink STI are in one-to-one correspondence with STBs in the uplink STI.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, STBs in the downlink STI includes one or more of the following signals: an SS, an MSG, and an MRS.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the STBs have one or more of the following types: a first type STB, a second type STB, a third type STB, and a fourth type STB.
The first type STB includes the SS, the MSG, and the MRS.
The second type STB merely includes the MRS.
The third type STB merely includes the SS and the MSG.
The fourth type STB merely includes the SS.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the message signal carries a demodulation reference signal of the message signal.
