A type of flooring where the flooring itself (the planks) is mounted on top of joists (like a suspended ceiling).

Is that "joist floor(ing)"?

Explanation:
I am not sure if this is what you are looking for - but most of the flooring systems associated with "joist" seem to be specifically I-joist systems - involving a specifically engineered joist.
I don't know if this is what you are after, but you will know if it's what you want when you see the sites below. Hope it helps. (Floating and suspended floors are something different.)

(If this is related to the next question, then I am not so sure I-joist flooring is what you are looking for. If it is the "heating" part of the floor that must rest on the joist because of the end loops, then it may be called something else.)
