Abstract

A user equipment (UE) receiving, from a base station (BS), a higher layer signal including first information used for configuring more than one sets of one or more downlink component carriers (DCCs). The UE receives, using a PDCCH in a first subframe, from the BS, downlink control information (DCI) including second information indicating a trigger for a transmission of channel state information (CSI), the transmission of the CSI being triggered for one set of the more than one sets of one or more DCCs, the DCI being used for scheduling of a PUSCH in one uplink component carrier. The UE transmits, using the PUSCH in a second subframe, to the BS, the CSI for the one set of the more than one sets of one or more DCCs in a case that the DCI including the second information indicating the trigger for the transmission of the CSI is received.

Claims (16)

1. A base station apparatus comprising:

transmission circuitry that transmits, to a user equipment, a higher layer signal including first information used for configuring more than one sets of one or more downlink component carriers, wherein

the transmission circuitry transmits, using a physical downlink control channel in a first subframe, to the user equipment, downlink control information including second information indicating a trigger for a transmission of channel state information, the transmission of the channel state information being triggered for one set of the more than one sets of one or more downlink component carriers, the downlink control information being used for scheduling of a physical uplink shared channel in one uplink component carrier; and

reception circuitry that receives, using the physical uplink shared channel in a second subframe, from the user equipment, the channel state information for the one set of the more than one sets of one or more downlink component carriers in a case that the downlink control information including the second information indicating the trigger for the transmission of the channel state information for the one set is transmitted.

2. A user equipment comprising:

reception circuitry that receives, from a base station apparatus, a higher layer signal including first information used for configuring more than one sets of one or more downlink component carriers, wherein

the reception circuitry receives, using a physical downlink control channel in a first subframe, from the base station apparatus, downlink control information including second information indicating a trigger for a transmission of channel state information, the transmission of the channel state information being triggered for one set of the more than one sets of one or more downlink component carriers, the downlink control information being used for scheduling of a physical uplink shared channel in one uplink component carrier; and

transmission circuitry that transmits, using the physical uplink shared channel in a second subframe, to the base station apparatus, the channel state information for the one set of the more than one sets of one or more downlink component carriers in a case that the downlink control information including the second information indicating the trigger for the transmission of the channel state information for the one set is received.

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 more than one sets of one or more downlink component carriers;

transmitting, using a physical downlink control channel in a first subframe, to the user equipment, downlink control information including second information indicating a trigger for a transmission of channel state information, the transmission of the channel state information being triggered for one set of the more than one sets of one or more downlink component carriers, the downlink control information being used for scheduling of a physical uplink shared channel in one uplink component carrier; and

receiving, using the physical uplink shared channel in a second subframe, from the user equipment, the channel state information for the one set of the more than one sets of one or more downlink component carriers in a case that the downlink control information including the second information indicating the trigger for the transmission of the channel state information for the one set is transmitted.

4. A communication method of a user equipment comprising:

receiving, from a base station apparatus, a higher layer signal including first information used for configuring more than one sets of one or more downlink component carriers;

receiving, using a physical downlink control channel in a first subframe, from the base station apparatus, downlink control information including second information indicating a trigger for a transmission of channel state information, the transmission of the channel state information being triggered for one set of the more than one sets of one or more downlink component carriers, the downlink control information being used for scheduling of a physical uplink shared channel in one uplink component carrier; and

transmitting, using the physical uplink shared channel in a second subframe, to the base station apparatus, the channel state information for the one set of the more than one sets of one or more downlink component carriers in a case that the downlink control information including the second information indicating the trigger for the transmission of the channel state information for the one set is received.
