Abstract

A terminal apparatus receives a PDCCH including downlink control information; transmits a PUSCH including a transport block, based on detection of the PDCCH; and triggers non-adaptive retransmission without waiting for a feedback for preceding transmission in a bundle, when a parameter of an RRC layer is configured to be TRUE. A size of the transport block is given at least based on whether the parameter of the RRC layer is configured to be TRUE.

Claims (35)

1. A terminal apparatus comprising:

reception circuitry that receives a PDCCH including downlink control information; and

transmission circuitry that transmits a PUSCH including a transport block, based on detection of the PDCCH, wherein

the transmission circuitry triggers non-adaptive PUSCH retransmission without waiting for a feedback for transmission of the PUSCH in a bundle, when a parameter TTIbundling of an RRC layer is configured to be TRUE,

a size of the transport block is given at least based on whether the parameter TTIbundling of the RRC layer is configured to be TRUE,

when the parameter TTIbundling of the RRC layer is not configured to be TRUE, the size of the transport block is given based on a value of a transport block size index and a specific value, the specific value being at least based on which one of UpPTS of a special subframe and an uplink subframe is used for transmitting the transport block, and

when (a) the parameter TTIbundling of the RRC layer is not configured to be TRUE and (b) the transport block is transmitted in the UpPTS, the specific value is the largest integer value between a value given by a floor function and 1, where the floor function takes a value which is equal to a product of a total number of assigned physical resource blocks and a decimal larger than 0 and smaller than 1.

2. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

when the parameter TTIbundling of the RRC layer is configured to be TRUE, the size of the transport block is given regardless of which one of the uplink subframe and the UpPTS is used for transmitting the transport block.

3. A base station apparatus comprising:

transmission circuitry that transmits a PDCCH including downlink control information to a terminal apparatus; and

reception circuitry that receives a PUSCH including a transport block from the terminal apparatus, based on the transmission of the PDCCH, wherein

when a parameter TTIbundling of an RRC layer is configured to be TRUE for the terminal apparatus, the reception circuitry receives non-adaptive PUSCH retransmission which is triggered by the terminal apparatus without waiting for a feedback for transmission of the PUSCH in a bundle, and

a size of the transport block is given at least based on whether the parameter TTIbundling of the RRC layer is configured to be TRUE for the terminal apparatus,

when the parameter TTIbundling of the RRC layer is not configured to be TRUE for the terminal apparatus, the size of the transport block is given based on a value of a transport block size index and a specific value, the specific value being at least based on which one of UpPTS of a special subframe and an uplink subframe is used for receiving the transport block, and

when (a) the parameter TTIbundling of the RRC layer is not configured to be TRUE for the terminal apparatus and (b) the transport block is received in the UpPTS, the specific value is the largest integer value between a value given by a floor function and 1, where the floor resource blocks and a decimal larger than 0 and smaller than 1.

4. The base station apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein

when the parameter TTIbundling of the RRC layer is configured to be TRUE for the terminal apparatus, the size of the transport block is given regardless of which one of the uplink subframe and the UpPTS is used for receiving the transport block.

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

receiving a PDCCH including downlink control information;

transmitting a PUSCH including a transport block, based on detection of the PDCCH; and

triggering non-adaptive PUSCH retransmission without waiting for a feedback for transmission of the PUSCH in a bundle, when a parameter TTIbundling of an RRC layer is configured to be TRUE, wherein a size of the transport block is given at least based on whether the parameter TTIbundling of the RRC layer is configured to be TRUE,

when the parameter TTIbundling of the RRC layer is not configured to be TRUE, the size of the transport block is given based on a value of a transport block size index and a specific value, the specific value being at least based on which one of UpPTS of a special subframe and an uplink subframe is used for transmitting the transport block, and

when (a) the parameter TTIbundling of the RRC layer is not configured to be TRUE and (b) the transport block is transmitted in the UpPTS, the specific value is the largest integer value between a value given by a floor function and 1, where the floor function takes a value which is equal to a product of a total number of assigned physical resource blocks and a decimal larger than 0 and smaller than 1.

6. The communication method according to claim 5 , wherein

when the parameter TTIbundling of the RRC layer is configured to be TRUE, the size of the transport block is given regardless of which one of the uplink subframe and the UpPTS is used for transmitting the transport block.

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

transmitting a PDCCH including downlink control information to a terminal apparatus;

receiving a PUSCH including a transport block from the terminal apparatus, based on the transmission of the PDCCH; and

when a parameter TTIbundling of an RRC layer is configured to be TRUE for the terminal apparatus, receiving non-adaptive PUSCH retransmission which is triggered by the terminal apparatus without waiting for a feedback for transmission of the PUSCH in a bundle, wherein

a size of the transport block is given at least based on whether the parameter TTIbundling of the RRC layer is configured to be TRUE for the terminal apparatus,

when the parameter TTIbundling of the RRC layer is not configured to be TRUE for the terminal apparatus, the size of the transport block is given based on a value of a transport block size index and a specific value, the specific value being at least based on which one of UpPTS of a special subframe and an uplink subframe is used for receiving the transport block, and

when (a) the parameter TTIbundling of the RRC layer is not configured to be TRUE for the terminal apparatus, and (b) the transport block is received in the UpPTS, the specific value is the largest integer value between a value given b a floor function and 1, where the floor function takes a value which is equal to a product of a total number of assigned physical resource blocks and a decimal larger than 0 and smaller than 1.

8. The communication method according to claim 7 , wherein

when the parameter TTIbundling of the RRC layer is configured to be TRUE for the terminal apparatus, the size of the transport block is given regardless of which one of the uplink subframe and the UpPTS is used for receiving the transport block.
