Abstract

A terminal apparatus includes: a reception unit configured to: receive a PDCCH or an EPDCCH with a DCI format and a first RRC parameter, and decode a PDSCH according to detection of the PDCCH or the EPDCCH; and a transmission unit configured to: transmit a HARQ-ACK in a subframe n according to detection of the PDSCH in a subframe n−k. Whether the PUCCH resource is given at least based on the first RRC parameter is determined at least based on part of or all of the first condition and the second condition described below: first condition: the value k, and second condition: which one of CSS and USS is a search space to which a physical downlink control channel including the DCI format is mapped.

Claims (38)

1. A terminal apparatus comprising:

receiving circuitry configured and/or programmed to:

receive a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) with downlink control information (DCI) format, a first higher layer parameter, and a second higher layer parameter for frequency division duplex (FDD), and

decode a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in subframe n-k according to detection of the PDCCH, and

transmitting circuitry configured to and/or programmed to transmit a hybrid auto repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) corresponding to the PDSCH in subframe n, wherein

a first parameter is given based on the first higher layer parameter and a second parameter is given based on the second higher layer parameter,

the second parameter is used for determining a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource for the HARQ-ACK transmission in a case that k is equal to 3,

the first parameter is used for determining the PUCCH resource for the HARQ-ACK transmission in a case that k is equal to 4,

the second higher layer parameter is given in a case that cyclic redundancy check (CRC) parity bits added to the DCI format in the PDCCH are scrambled by cell-radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) and the PDCCH is in UE-specific search space (USS), and

the first higher layer parameter is given in a case that the CRC parity bits added to the DCI format in the PDCCH are scrambled by the C-RNTI and the PDCCH is in common search space (CSS).
