Abstract

A device includes a reception unit configured to receive first information, second information, and third information; a physical downlink control channel reception unit configured to receive a physical downlink control channel; and a physical downlink shared channel reception unit configured to receive a physical downlink shared channel. When joint coding is configured by the third information, the physical downlink control channel reception unit monitors the physical downlink control channel of a cell configured by the second information, and the physical downlink shared channel reception unit receives physical downlink shared channels of downlink cells indicated by the first information, on the basis of a result of decoding the physical downlink control channel.

Claims (30)

1. A terminal device configured to communicate with a base station device, the terminal device comprising:

reception circuitry configured to receive a first radio resource control (RRC) message including first information and receive a second RRC message including second information,

the first information indicating more than five cells are configured, and

the second information indicating whether or not the terminal device is required to monitor a downlink control information format 1A for a cell among the cells being configured based on the first information, the downlink control information format 1A being used for scheduling of one Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) in one cell; and

monitoring circuitry configured to not monitor a physical downlink control channel with the downlink control information format 1A for the cell only in a cell based on the second information in a case that the second information indicating the terminal device is not required to monitor the downlink control information format 1A for the cell.

2. A base station device configured to communicate with a terminal device, the base station device comprising:

first transmission circuitry configured to transmit a first radio resource control (RRC) message including first information and transmit a second RRC message including second information,

the first information indicating more than five cells are configured, and

the second information indicating whether or not the terminal device is required to monitor a downlink control information format 1A for a cell among the cells being configured based on the first information, the downlink control information format 1A being used for scheduling of one Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) in one cell; and

second transmission circuitry configured to transmit a physical downlink control channel with the downlink control information format 1A in a cell based on the second information.

3. A communication method for a terminal device configured to communicate with a base station device, the communication method comprising:

receiving a first radio resource control (RRC) message including first information and receiving a second RRC message including second information,

the first information indicating more than five cells are configured, and

the second information indicating whether or not the terminal device is required to monitor a downlink control information format 1A for a cell among the cells being configured based on the first information, the downlink control information format 1A being used for scheduling of one Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) in one cell; and

not monitoring a physical downlink control channel with downlink control information format 1A for the cell in a case that the second information indicating that the terminal device is not required to monitor the downlink control information format 1A for the cell.

4. A communication method for a base station device configured to communicate with a terminal device, the communication method comprising:

transmitting a first radio resource control (RRC) message including first information and transmitting a second RRC message including second information,

the first information indicating more than five cells are configured, and

the second information indicating whether or not the terminal device is required to monitor a downlink control information format 1A for a cell among the cells being configured based on the first information, the downlink control information format 1A being used for scheduling of one Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) in one cell; and

transmitting a physical downlink control channel with the downlink control information format 1A in a cell based on the second information.

5. An integrated circuit mountable on a terminal device configured to communicate with a base station device, the integrated circuit causing the terminal device to perform at least:

receiving a first radio resource control (RRC) message including first information and receiving a second RRC message including second information,

the first information indicating more than five cells are configured, and

the second information indicating whether or not the terminal device is required to monitor a downlink control information format 1A for a cell among the cells being configured based on the first information, the downlink control information format 1A being used for scheduling of one Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) in one cell; and

not monitoring a physical downlink control channel with downlink control information format 1A for the cell in a case that the second information indicating that the terminal device is not required to monitor the downlink control information format 1A for the cell.

6. An integrated circuit mountable on a base station device configured to communicate with a terminal device, the integrated circuit causing the base station device to perform at least:

transmitting a first radio resource control (RRC) message including first information and transmitting a second RRC massage message including second information,

the first information indicating more than five cells are configured, and

the second information indicating whether or not the terminal device is required to monitor a downlink control information format 1A for a cell among the cells being configured based on the first information, the downlink control information format 1A being used for scheduling of one Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) in one cell; and

transmitting a physical downlink control channel with the downlink control information format 1A in a cell based on the second information.
