Abstract

If the sequence of a traffic of a first communication link from a communication apparatus to another communication apparatus includes a traffic of a second communication link from that another communication apparatus to a communication apparatus, latency is reduced, thereby saving processing time. If, after data is transmitted from a communication apparatus to another communication apparatus by the upper layer, a data receive response signal is required from that another communication apparatus to the communication apparatus, a predetermined frame including transmission grant information for that another communication apparatus to transmit the receive response signal and data is generated in the communication apparatus. The communication apparatus transmits this generated frame to that another communication apparatus. That is, data and transmission grant information are transmitted from the communication apparatus to that another communication apparatus as a predetermined frame.

Claims (38)

1. A method for a user equipment, the method comprising:

receiving from a base station:

a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) carrying a transport block to which higher layer data is mapped, and

a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) scheduling the PDSCH,

wherein the PDSCH and the PDCCH are received in one or two slots as time domain resources, and the PDCCH carries Downlink Control Information (DCI) following a predetermined DCI format, wherein the DCI contains information regarding downlink resource assignment for the PDSCH and uplink resource assignment;

transmitting, to the base station, an acknowledgement signal using the information regarding uplink resource assignment, the acknowledgement signal indicating an acknowledgement for the received higher layer data.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the DCI following the predetermined DCI format contains at least one of: modulation and coding scheme, new data indicator, redundancy version, Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) process number, downlink assignment index, or Transmission Power Control (TPC) command for uplink.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the higher layer data is Transmission Control Protocol (TPC) data.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the one or two slots in which the PDSCH and the PDCCH are received are included in one subframe.

5. A method for a communication apparatus in a base station side, the method comprising:

transmitting to a user equipment:

a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) carrying a transport block to which higher layer data is mapped, and

a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) scheduling the PDSCH,

wherein the PDSCH and the PDCCH are received in one or two slots as time domain resources, and the PDCCH carries Downlink Control Information (DCI) following a predetermined DCI format, wherein the DCI contains information regarding downlink resource assignment for the PDSCH and uplink resource assignment;

receiving, from the user equipment, an acknowledgement signal using the information regarding uplink resource assignment, the acknowledgement signal indicating an acknowledgement for the received higher layer data.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the DCI following the predetermined DCI format contains at least one of: modulation and coding scheme, new data indicator, redundancy version, Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) process number, downlink assignment index, or Transmission Power Control (TPC) command for uplink.

7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the higher layer data is Transport Control Protocol (TCP) data.

8. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the one or two slots in which the PDSCH and the PDCCH are received are included in one subframe.

9. A user equipment comprising:

one or more radio transceiver; and

circuitry configured to:

receive, via the one or more radio transceiver, from a base station:

a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) carrying a transport block to which higher layer data is mapped, and

a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) scheduling the PDSCH,

wherein the PDSCH and the PDCCH are received in one or two slots as time domain resources, and the PDCCH carries Downlink Control Information (DCI) following a predetermined DCI format, wherein the DCI contains information regarding downlink resource assignment for the PDSCH and uplink resource assignment; and

transmit, to the base station, an acknowledgement signal using the information regarding uplink resource assignment, the acknowledgement signal indicating an acknowledgement for the received higher layer data.

10. The user equipment according to claim 9 , wherein the DCI following the predetermined DCI format contains at least one of: modulation and coding scheme, new data indicator, redundancy version, Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) process number, downlink assignment index, or Transmission Power Control (TPC) command for uplink.

11. The user equipment according to claim 9 , wherein the one or two slots in which the PDSCH and the PDCCH are received are included in one subframe.

12. A communication apparatus in a base station side, the communication apparatus comprising:

one or more radio transceiver; and

circuitry configured to:

transmit, via the one or more radio transceiver, to a user equipment:

a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) carrying a transport block to which higher layer data is mapped, and

a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) scheduling the PDSCH,

wherein the PDSCH and the PDCCH are received in one or two slots as time domain resources, and the PDCCH carrying Downlink Control Information (DCI) follows a predetermined DCI format, wherein the DCI contains information regarding downlink resource assignment for the PDSCH and uplink resource assignment; and

receive, from the user equipment, an acknowledgement signal using the information regarding uplink resource assignment, the acknowledgement signal indicating an acknowledgement for the received higher layer data.

13. The user equipment according to claim 12 , wherein the DCI following the predetermined DCI format contains at least one of: modulation and coding scheme, new data indicator, redundancy version, Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) process number, downlink assignment index, or Transmission Power Control (TPC) command for uplink.

14. The user equipment according to claim 12 , wherein the one or two slots in which the PDSCH and the PDCCH are received are included in one subframe.
