1. A communication apparatus comprising:
control circuitry; and
a transmitter, which is coupled to the control circuitry,
wherein:
in a first case in which the control circuitry performs a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) mapping of PUSCH repetition signals in a plurality of subframes,
the control circuitry punctures a part of the PUSCH repetition signals in a resource in a last single-carrier frequency-division multiple access (SC-FDMA) symbol of a sounding reference signal (SRS) transmission candidate subframe of the plurality of subframes, wherein the resource is counted for the PUSCH mapping of the PUSCH repetition signals, and
the transmitter transmits a remaining part of the PUSCH repetition signals apart from the punctured part of the PUSCH repetition signals; and
in a second case in which the control circuitry performs a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) mapping of PUCCH repetition signals in a plurality of subframes and a frequency hopping of the PUCCH repetition signals every subset of subframes in the plurality of subframes,
the control circuitry uses a shortened PUCCH format in two or more SRS transmission candidate subframes of the plurality of subframes and uses a normal PUCCH format in the plurality of subframes apart from the two or more SRS transmission candidate subframes, and
the transmitter transmits the PUCCH repetition signals, wherein, depending on a number of subframes of the subset of subframes as compared to a period between the two or more SRS transmission candidate subframes, a part of the PUCCH repetition signals for the subset of subframes is mapped to the period using the normal PUCCH format.
