Abstract

A user equipment (UE) that communicates with a base station apparatus on one or more downlink bandwidth parts (DL BWPs) in a serving cell is described. Receiving circuitry is configured to receive a radio resource control (RRC) message comprising first information. The receiving circuitry is also configured to receive a RRC message comprising second information. The receiving circuitry is also configured to monitor a PDCCH based on the first information. The receiving circuitry is also configured to receive on the PDCCH, a downlink control information (DCI) format comprising third information and fourth information. Transmitting circuitry is configured to perform in a slot, based on a detection of the DCI comprising the third information and the fourth information, an aperiodic CSI reporting on the PUSCH, the slot being determined based on the fourth information.

Claims (46)

1. A user equipment (UE) that communicates with a base station apparatus on one or more downlink bandwidth parts (DL BWPs), the one or more DL BWPs being configured for each of one or more serving cells, comprising:

receiving circuitry configured to receive a radio resource control (RRC) message comprising first information used for configuring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring periodicity,

the receiving circuitry configured to receive a RRC message comprising second information used for configuring more than one offset values,

the receiving circuitry configured to monitor a PDCCH based on the first information,

the receiving circuitry configured to receive on the PDCCH, a downlink control information (DCI) format comprising third information and fourth information, the third information triggering an aperiodic channel state information (CSI) report, the fourth information being used for indicating one offset value from the more than one offset values, the DCI format being used for scheduling of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), and

transmitting circuitry configured to perform, based on decoding of the DCI format comprising the third information and the fourth information, an aperiodic CSI reporting on the PUSCH in a slot, the slot being determined based on the fourth information, wherein

the first information is configured for each of one or more search space sets, the one or more search space sets being configured for each of the one or more DL BWPs, and

the second information is configured for the each of the one or more serving cells.

2. The UE according to claim 1 , wherein

the receiving circuitry is configured to receive a RRC message comprising fifth information used for configuring DCI formats where the UE monitors the PDCCH accordingly in the search space sets, the DCI formats comprising the DCI format used for scheduling of the PUSCH and a DCI format used for scheduling of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).

3. The UE according to claim 2 , wherein

the RRC message is a dedicated RRC message.

4. A base station apparatus that communicates with a user equipment (UE) on one or more downlink bandwidth parts (DL BWPs), the one or more DL BWPs being configured for each of one or more serving cells, comprising:

transmitting circuitry configured to transmit a radio resource control (RRC) message comprising first information used for configuring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring periodicity, the first information being used for the UE to monitor a PDCCH,

the transmitting circuitry configured to transmit a RRC message comprising second information used for configuring more than one offset values,

the transmitting circuitry configured to transmit on the PDCCH, a downlink control information (DCI) format comprising third information and fourth information, the third information triggering an aperiodic channel state information (CSI) report, the fourth information being used for indicating one offset value from the more than one offset values, the DCI format being used for scheduling of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), and

receiving circuitry configured to receive, based on the transmission of the DCI format comprising the third information and the fourth information, an aperiodic CSI reporting on the PUSCH in a slot, the slot being determined based on the fourth information, wherein

the first information is configured for each of one or more search space sets, the one or more search space sets being configured for each of the one or more DL BWPs, and

the second information is configured for the each of the one or more serving cells.

5. The base station apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein

the transmitting circuitry is configured to transmit a RRC message comprising fifth information used for configuring DCI formats where the UE monitors the PDCCH accordingly in the search space sets, the DCI formats comprising the DCI format used for scheduling of the PUSCH and a DCI format used for scheduling of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).

6. The base station apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein

the RRC message is a dedicated RRC message.

7. A communication method of a user equipment (UE) that communicates with a base station apparatus on one or more downlink bandwidth parts (DL BWPs) the one or more DL BWPs being configured for each of one or more serving cells, comprising:

receiving a radio resource control (RRC) message comprising first information used for configuring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring periodicity,

receiving a RRC message comprising second information used for configuring more than one offset values,

monitoring a PDCCH based on the first information,

receiving on the PDCCH, a downlink control information (DCI) format comprising third information and fourth information, the third information triggering an aperiodic channel state information (CSI) report, the fourth information being used for indicating one offset value from the more than one offset values, the DCI format being used for scheduling of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), and

performing, based on decoding of the DCI format comprising the third information and the fourth information, an aperiodic CSI reporting on the PUSCH in a slot, the slot being determined based on the fourth information, wherein

the first information is configured for each of one or more search space sets, the one or more search space sets being configured for each of the one or more DL BWPs, and

the second information is configured for the each of the one or more serving cells.

8. The communication method according to claim 7 , further comprising:

receiving a RRC message comprising fifth information used for configuring DCI formats where the UE monitors the PDCCH accordingly in the search space sets, the DCI formats comprising the DCI format used for scheduling of the PUSCH and a DCI format used for scheduling of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).

9. The communication method according to claim 7 , wherein

the RRC message is a dedicated RRC message.

10. A communication method of a base station apparatus that communicates with a user equipment (UE) on one or more downlink bandwidth parts (DL BWPs), the one or more DL BWPs being configured for each of one or more serving cells, comprising:

transmitting a radio resource control (RRC) message comprising first information used for configuring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring periodicity, the first information being used for the UE to monitor a PDCCH,
