Abstract

A user equipment (UE) receives using a PDCCH, downlink control information (DCI) including second information (SI), the DCI being used for scheduling of a PUSCH in one uplink component carrier. The UE transmits using the PUSCH, channel state information (CSI) for a first set of one or more downlink component carriers (DCCs) which is configured in a case that more than one DCC is configured and the DCI including the SI is received and a value of the field of the SI is a first value. The UE transmits using the PUSCH, the CSI for a second set of the one or more DCCs which is configured in a case that the more than one DCC is configured and the DCI including the SI is received and a value of the field of the SI is a second value, where the DCI is mapped on a UE specific search space.

the transmitting unit is configured to transmit using a physical downlink control channel, to the user equipment, downlink control information including the second information, the downlink control information being used for scheduling of a physical uplink shared channel in one uplink component carrier; and

a receiving unit configured to receive using the physical uplink shared channel, from the user equipment, the channel state information for the first set of the one or more downlink component carriers which is configured in a case that more than one downlink component carrier is configured and the downlink control information including the second information is transmitted and a value of the field of the second information is the first value, wherein

the receiving unit is configured to receive using the physical uplink shared channel, from the user equipment, the channel state information for the second set of the one or more downlink component carriers which is configured in a case that the more than one downlink component carrier is configured and the downlink control information including the second information is transmitted and a value of the field of the second information is the second value, wherein

the downlink control information is mapped on a user equipment specific search space.

2. A user equipment comprising:

a receiving unit configured to receive, from a base station apparatus, a higher layer signal including first information used for configuring a first set of one or more downlink component carriers and a second set of one or more downlink component carriers, the first set corresponding to a first value of a field of second information, the second set corresponding to a second value of the field of the second information, the second information being used for requesting a transmission of channel state information, wherein

the receiving unit is configured to receive using a physical downlink control channel, from the base station apparatus, downlink control information including the second information, the downlink control information being used for scheduling of a physical uplink shared channel in one uplink component carrier; and

a transmitting unit configured to transmit using the physical uplink shared channel, to the base station apparatus, the channel state information for the first set of the one or more downlink component carriers which is configured in a case that more than one downlink component carrier is configured and the downlink control information including the second information is received and a value of the field of the second information is the first value, wherein

the transmitting unit is configured to transmit using the physical uplink shared channel, to the base station apparatus, the channel state information for the second set of the one or more downlink component carriers which is configured in a case that the more than one downlink component carrier is configured and the downlink control information including the second information is received and a value of the field of the second information is the second value, wherein

the downlink control information is mapped on a user equipment specific search space.

3. A communication method of a base station apparatus comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment, a higher layer signal including first information used for configuring a first set of one or more downlink component carriers and a second set of one or more downlink component carriers, the first set corresponding to a first value of a field of second information, the second set corresponding to a second value of the field of the second information, the second information being used for requesting a transmission of channel state information,

transmitting using a physical downlink control channel, to the user equipment, downlink control information including the second information, the downlink control information being used for scheduling of a physical uplink shared channel in one uplink component carrier,

receiving using the physical uplink shared channel, from the user equipment, the channel state information for the first set of the one or more downlink component carriers which is configured in a case that more than one downlink component carrier is configured and the downlink control information including the second information is transmitted and a value of the field of the second information is the first value, and

receiving using the physical uplink shared channel, from the user equipment, the channel state information for the second set of the one or more downlink component carriers which is configured in a case that the more than one downlink component carrier is configured and the downlink control information including the second information is transmitted and a value of the field of the second information is the second value, wherein

the downlink control information is mapped on a user equipment specific search space.

4. A communication method of a user equipment comprising:

receiving, from the base station apparatus, a higher layer signal including first information used for configuring a first set of one or more downlink component carriers and a second set of one or more downlink component carriers, the first set corresponding to a first value of a field of second information, the second set corresponding to a second value of the field of the second information, the second information being used for requesting a transmission of channel state information,

receiving using a physical downlink control channel, from the base station apparatus, downlink control information including the second information, the downlink control information being used for scheduling of a physical uplink shared channel in one uplink component carrier,

transmitting using the physical uplink shared channel, to the base station apparatus, the channel state information for the first set of the one or more downlink component carriers which is configured in a case that more than one downlink component carrier is configured and the downlink control information including the second information is received and a value of the field of the second information is the first value, and

transmitting using the physical uplink shared channel, to the base station apparatus, the channel state information for the second set of the one or more downlink component carriers which is configured in a case that the more than one downlink component carrier is configured and the downlink control information including the second information is received and a value of the field of the second information is the second value, wherein
