`
`This listing of claims will replace all prior versions andlistings of claims in the
`
`application.
`
`Listing of Claims:
`
`1.
`
`(Currently Amended) A wireless communication method comprising:
`
`receiving a reference signal and a data signal, based on a coverage enhancementlevel
`
`represented by a numberoftransmission repetitions;_and
`
`processing the reference signal and the data signal received by the-reeetving= receiving,
`
`
`
`
`
`wherein the reference signalis a Cell-specific Reference Signal (CRS) or a Demodulation
`
`Reference Signal (DMRS), and
`
`setting-wherein usage of resource elements for the reference signal in a specific channel
`
`is indicated by a System Information Block-(S#3), (SIB).
`
`
`
`
`
`ReferenceSienal{DMRS}
`
`2.
`
`3.
`
`(Canceled)
`
`(Currently Amended) The method according to claim 1, wherein the numberof
`
`resource elements fortransmitine the received reference signalis different from-+he_a channel
`
`type.
`
`4.
`
`(Currently Amended) The method according to claim 1, wherein a reference
`
`signal density of a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH)is higher than a reference
`
`signal density of a Physical Uplink Shared Channel4PBSCH) (PUSCH).
`
`5.

`
`(Canceled)
`
`(Currently Amended) The method according to claim 1, wherein the data signalis
`
`used to transmit a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH)or a Physical Uplink Shared
`
`Channel (PUSCH)--and+the-usage-of

`
`
`
`8.
`
`(Currently Amended) The method according to claim 1, wherein the usage of the
`
`resource elements for+ransmittine the received reference signal is configured by Radio Resource
`
`Control (RRC), is predefined, or is recommended by_a user equipment through a Channel
`
`Quality Indicator (CQI).
`
`9.
`
`(Currently Amended) A wireless communication device comprising:
`
`a receiver, which, in operation, receives a reference signal and a data signal, based on a
`
`coverage enhancementlevel represented by a numberof transmission repetitions; and
`
`circuitry, which, in operation, processes the reference signal and the data signal received
`
`by the receiver,
`
`se
`
`
`
`wherein the reference signalis a Cell-specific Reference Signal (CRS) or a Demodulation
`
`Reference Signal (DMRS), and
`
`wherein usage of resource elements for the reference signal in a specific channelis
`
`indicated by a System Information Block (SIB).

`
`11.
`
`(Currently Amended) The wireless communication device according to claim 9,
`
`wherein the numberof resource elements fortransmHtine the_received reference signalis
`
`different from-ke_a channeltype.
`
`12.
`
`(Currently Amended) The wireless communication device according to claim 9,
`
`wherein a reference signal density of a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH)is higher
`
`than a reference signal density of a Physical Uplink Shared Channel4+PBSCH) (PUSCH).
`

`
`6.
`
`(Currently Amended) The wireless communication device according to claim 9,
`
`wherein the usage of the resource elements for-ransmittine the reference signal is configured by
`
`Radio Resource Control (RRC), is predefined, or is recommended by_a user equipment through a
`

`
`17.
`
`(New) The method according to claim 1, wherein the specific channel is a
`
`Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH).
`
`18.
`
`(New) The method according to claim 1, wherein when the coverage
`
`enhancementlevel is 2 or more, the CRSin the received reference signal is added without
`
`changing a density of DMRSin the reference signal.
