`
`This listing of claims will replace all prior versions andlistings of claims in the
`
`application.
`
`Listing of Claims:
`
`1.
`
`(Currently Amended) A communication apparatus comprising:
`
`control circuitry; and
`
`
`
`a transmitter, which is coupled to the control circuitry-aadsvhichn-eperationtransmits
`
`
`
`
`
`wherein[[,JL:
`
`in a first case in which the-+ransmitertransmitsthe control circuitry performs a physical
`
`uplink shared channel (PUSCH) mapping of PUSCHrepetition signals in a plurality of
`
`subframes, the control circuitry+-eperatier; punctures_a part of the PUSCHrepetition 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 ofthe plurality of subframes,
`
`wherein the resource is counted for the PUSCH mapping of the PUSCHrepetition signals, and
`
`the transmitter transmits a remaining part of the PUSCHrepetition 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 PUCCHrepetition signals in a plurality of subframes, the control circuitry
`
`uses a shortened PUCCHformat in a SRS transmission candidate subframeofthe plurality of
`
`
`subframes, and
`
`
`
`
`
`the transmitter transmits the PUCCHrepetition signalsthe-centrelcirenttry,in-operation,
`
`2-16.
`
`(Canceled)
`
`
`
`Application No. 16/794,493

`
`17.
`
`(Currently Amended) The communication apparatus according to Claim 1,
`
`wherein in the second case that in which the-+ransmitertransmits control circuitry performs the
`
`PUCCH-tepetition-stenats mapping, the control circuitry does not puncture-+the_a last SC-FDMA
`
`symbol in the SRS transmission candidate subframe.
`
`18.
`
`(Previously Presented) The communication apparatus according to Claim 1,
`
`wherein the SRStransmission candidate subframeis signaled by a basestation.
`
`19.
`
`(Previously Presented) The communication apparatus according to Claim 1,
`
`wherein an SRS1s transmitted in the last SC-FDMA symbolof the SRS transmission candidate
`
`subframe.
`
`20.
`
`(Currently Amended) The communication apparatus according to Claim 1,
`
`wherein phase continuity of the PUSCHrepetition signals is maintained in symbols of the
`
`PUSCHrepetition signals other than the last SC-FDMA symbol in the SRStransmission
`
`eandidates candidate subframe.
`
`21.
`
`(Previously Presented) The communication apparatus according to Claim 1,
`
`wherein symbol level combining of the PUSCHrepetition signals is possible.
`
`22.
`
`(Currently Amended) A communication method comprising:
`
`
`
`in a first case of-transmitinetheperforming a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH)
`
`mapping of PUSCHrepetition signals in a plurality of subframes,
`
`puncturing a part of the PUSCHrepetition signals in a resource in a last single-
`
`carrier frequency-division multiple access (SC-FDMA) symbol+#_of a sounding
`
`reference signal (SRS) transmission candidate subframeof the plurality of subframes,
`
`wherein the resource is counted for the PUSCH mapping of the PUSCHrepetition
`
`signals, and
`
`
`
`Application No. 16/794,493
`Reply to Office Action Dated August 5, 2021
`
`transmitting a remaining part of the PUSCHrepetition signals apart from the
`
`punctured part of the PUSCHrepetition signals; and
`
`in a second case of performing a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) mapping of
`
`PUCCHrepetition signals in a plurality of subframes,
`
`using a shortened PUCCHformat in a SRS transmission candidate subframe of
`
`the plurality of subframes, and
`
`
`
`transmitting the PUCCHrepetition signals—usine-a-shertenedPUCCHformatin

`the-phiraltyofsubframes.
`
`23.
`
`(Currently Amended) The communication method according to Claim 22,
`
`wherein in the second case of-transmitine performing the PUCCH-repetitien-sienals_the
`
`mapping, a last SC-FDMA symbolin the SRS transmission candidate subframeis not punctured.
`
`24.
`
`(Previously Presented) The communication method according to Claim 22,
`
`wherein the SRStransmission candidate subframeis signaled by a basestation.
`
`25.
`
`(Previously Presented) The communication method according to Claim 22,
`
`wherein an SRS1s transmitted in the last SC-FDMA symbolof the SRS transmission candidate
`
`subframe.
`
`26.
`
`(Currently Amended) The communication method according to Claim 22,
`
`wherein phase continuity of the PUSCHrepetition signals is maintained in symbols of the
`
`PUSCHrepetition signals other than the last SC-FDMA symbol in the SRStransmission
`
`eandidates candidate subframe.
`
`27.
`
`(Previously Presented) The communication method according to Claim 22,
`
`wherein symbol level combining of the PUSCHrepetition signals is possible.
