Abstract

A terminal apparatus receives an uplink grant used to schedule a PUSCH; transmits, in a case that an HARQ-ACK request included in the uplink grant is set so as to trigger transmission of an HARQ-ACK, the HARQ-ACK on the PUSCH corresponding to the uplink grant; and transmits, in a case that a CSI request included in the uplink grant is set so as to trigger a CSI report, an RI on the PUSCH corresponding to the uplink grant, in which an index of an SC-FDMA symbol in which the RI is transmitted is provided based on a value of the HARQ-ACK request.

Claims (58)

1. A terminal apparatus comprising:

a receiver configured to receive an uplink grant used to schedule a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), the uplink grant comprising a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest-Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) request field and a Channel State Information (CSI) request field;

a processor configured to obtain an index based on a value of the HARQ-ACK request field, the index indicating one of Single Carrier-Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) symbols in the PUSCH corresponding to the uplink grant; and

a transmitter configured to:

transmit a HARQ-ACK corresponding to the uplink grant in a case that the HARQ-ACK request field is set to trigger HARQ-ACK transmission on the PUSCH; and

transmit, based on the index, a Rank Indicator (RI) on the one of the SC-FDMA symbols in the PUSCH corresponding to the uplink grant in a case that the CSI request field is set to trigger a CSI report.

2. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to calculate a number of coded bits of the RI based on the index.

3. A base station apparatus comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit an uplink grant used to schedule a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), the uplink grant comprising a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest-Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) request field and a Channel State Information (CSI) request field, the HARQ-ACK request field including a value; and

a receiver configured to:

receive a HARQ-ACK corresponding to the uplink grant when the HARQ-ACK request field is set to trigger HARQ-ACK transmission on the PUSCH;

receive, based on an index, a Rank Indicator (RI) on one of SC-FDMA symbols in the PUSCH corresponding to the uplink grant when the CSI request field is set to trigger a CSI report,

wherein the index indicates the one of the SC-FDMA symbols in the PUSCH and is calculated based on the value of the HARQ-ACK request field.

4. The base station apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein a number of coded bits of the RI is calculated based on the index.

5. A communication method for a terminal apparatus, the communication method comprising:

receiving an uplink grant used to schedule a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), the uplink grant comprising a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest-Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) request field and a Channel State Information (CSI) request field;

obtaining an index based on a value of the HARQ-ACK request field, the index indicating one of Single Carrier-Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) symbols in the PUSCH corresponding to the uplink grant;

transmitting a HARQ-ACK corresponding to the uplink grant in a case that the HARQ-ACK request field is set to trigger HARQ-ACK transmission on the PUSCH; and

transmitting, based on the index, a Rank Indicator (RI) on the one of the SC-FDMA symbols in the PUSCH corresponding to the uplink grant in a case that the CSI request field is set to trigger a CSI report.

6. The communication method according to claim 5 , further comprising:

calculating a number of coded bits of the RI based on the index.

7. A communication method for a base station apparatus, the communication method comprising:

transmitting an uplink grant used to schedule a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), the uplink grant comprising a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest-Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) request field and a Channel State Information (CSI) request field, the HARQ-ACK request field including a value;

receiving a HARQ-ACK corresponding to the uplink grant when the HARQ-ACK request field is set to trigger HARQ-ACK transmission on the PUSCH; and

receiving, based on an index, a Rank Indicator (RI) on one of SC-FDMA symbols in the PUSCH corresponding to the uplink grant when the CSI request field is set to trigger a CSI report,

wherein the index indicates the one of the SC-FDMA symbols in the PUSCH and is calculated based on the value of the HARQ-ACK request field.

8. The communication method according to claim 7 , wherein a number of coded bits of the RI is calculated based on the index.

9. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to calculate a number of coded bits of the RI based on a modulation order of a transport block and the transport block is transmitted on the PUSCH.

10. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to calculate a number of coded bits of the RI based on a number of cyclic redundancy check (CRC) parity bits and the CRC parity bits are transmitted on the PUSCH.

11. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to calculate a number of coded bits of the RI based on a bandwidth of the PUSCH.

12. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to calculate a number of coded bits of the RI based on an offset value and the offset value is determined based on at least one of:

whether the PUSCH is in a cell belonging to a cell group, the cell group comprising a plurality of licensed assisted access cells;

whether the HARQ transmission is on the PUSCH;

the value of the HARQ-ACK request field; or

a number of the SC-FDMA symbols in the PUSCH.
