Abstract

The present invention is designed so that it is possible to feed back HARQ-ACKs adequately even when a plurality of component carriers are configured in a radio communication system. The present invention provides a receiving section that receives DL signals transmitted from a plurality of component carriers (CCs), and a control section that controls transmission of an HARQ-ACK in response to a received DL signal based on a counter DAI included in the downlink control information, and the counter DAI is configured to three or more bits in predetermined downlink control information. Also, the counter DAI can be comprised of varying numbers of bits depending on the number of CCs configured in the user terminal or the number of CCs where listening is applied to DL transmission.

Claims (12)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives downlink (DL) signals transmitted in a plurality of cells; and

a processor that determines an uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource used for Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) transmission in response to the DL signals, by using table information related to PUCCH resources and a resource indicator value included in downlink control information,

wherein the table information shows a plurality of resource indicator values,

wherein each resource indicator value corresponds to a plurality of combinations of a PUCCH resource and a PUCCH format, and

wherein, for each resource indicator value, the plurality of combinations have different PUCCH formats.

2. A radio communication method for a terminal, comprising:

receiving downlink (DL) signals transmitted in a plurality of cells; and

determining an uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource used for Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) transmission in response to the DL signals, by using table information related to PUCCH resources and a resource indicator value included in downlink control information,

wherein the table information shows a plurality of resource indicator values,

wherein each resource indicator value corresponds to a plurality of combinations of a PUCCH resource and a PUCCH format, and

wherein, for each resource indicator value, the plurality of combinations have different PUCCH formats.
