Abstract

A terminal device and a base station device are capable of communicating with each other efficiently using an uplink channel. The terminal device transmits a transport block on a first shared channel upon detection of a control channel including first control information. For the first control information along with a CRC parity bit scrambled by a first identifier, a size of the transport block is given using a first information field included in the first control information along with the CRC parity bit scrambled by the first identifier, based on whether a second shared channel for an initial transmission of a transport block identical to the transport block corresponding to the first control information is scheduled by a random access response grant.

Claims (55)

reception circuitry configured to and/or programmed to:

detect a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), the PDCCH including downlink control information (DCI) that is used for a scheduling of a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH);

receive a higher layer parameter; and

receive a random access response, the random access response including an uplink grant; and

transmission circuitry configured to and/or programmed to:

transmit the first PUSCH according to the PDCCH with the DCI; and

transmit a second PUSCH according to the uplink grant,

wherein

the DCI includes a first “modulation and coding scheme” index,

the uplink grant includes a second “modulation and coding scheme” index,

a first modulation order Qm for the first PUSCH is given based on a first index Q′m in a first table, the first index Q′m corresponding to the first “modulation and coding scheme” index based on the first table, in a case that the higher layer parameter indicating that 256 QAM is allowed is configured,

the first modulation order Qm for the first PUSCH is given based on a second index Q′m in a second table being different from the first table, the second index Q′m corresponding to the first “modulation and coding scheme” index based on the second table, in a case that the higher layer parameter indicating that 256 QAM is allowed is not configured, and
