Abstract

Provided is a terminal apparatus that performs an uplink LBT procedure, wherein one or more than one subframes are allocated for transmission of a message 3 in an LAA cell, and an LBT procedure for transmission of a random access preamble is initiated in a case where it is determined that a channel is busy in all of the one or more than one subframes.

Claims (32)

1. A terminal device configured to communicate with a base station device using a cell of an unlicensed band, the terminal device comprising:

channel measurement circuitry configured to perform an uplink channel access procedure;

reception processing circuitry configured to receive, in a physical downlink shared channel, a message including a random access response grant for the cell of the unlicensed band; and

transmission processing circuitry configured to transmit a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) scheduled by the random access response grant for the cell of the unlicensed band; wherein

the random access response grant includes a field indicating at least an uplink channel access type for the PUSCH transmission;

the channel measurement circuitry is configured to perform the uplink channel access procedure indicated by the field;

a number of bits of the random access response grant is the same as a number of bits of a second random access response grant for a cell of a licensed band; and

a number of bits of a first resource allocation field included in the random access response grant is smaller than a number of bits of a second resource allocation field included in the second random access response grant.

2. A base station device configured to communicate with a terminal device using a cell of an unlicensed band, the base station device comprising:

channel measurement circuitry configured to perform an uplink channel access procedure;

transmission processing circuitry configured to transmit, in a physical downlink shared channel, a message including a random access response grant for the cell of the unlicensed band; and

reception processing circuitry configured to receive a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) scheduled by the random access response grant for the cell of the unlicensed band; wherein

the random access response grant includes a field indicating at least an uplink channel access type for the PUSCH transmission;

the channel measurement circuitry is configured to perform the uplink channel access procedure indicated by the field;

a number of bits of the random access response grant is the same as a number of bits of a second random access response grant for a cell of a licensed band; and

a number of bits of a first resource allocation field included in the random access response grant is smaller than a number of bits of a second resource allocation field included in the second random access response grant.

3. A communication method for a terminal device to communicate with a base station device using a cell of an unlicensed band, the communication method comprising:

performing an uplink channel access procedure;

receiving, in a physical downlink shared channel, a message including a random access response grant for the cell of the unlicensed band; and

transmitting a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) scheduled by the random access response grant for the cell of the unlicensed band; wherein

the random access response grant includes a field indicating at least an uplink channel access type for the PUSCH transmission;

the channel measurement circuitry is configured to perform the uplink channel access procedure indicated by the field;

a number of bits of the random access response grant is the same as a number of bits of a second random access response grant for a cell of a licensed band; and

a number of bits of a first resource allocation field included in the random access response grant is smaller than a number of bits of a second resource allocation field included in the second random access response grant.

4. A communication method for a base station device to communicate with a terminal device using a cell of an unlicensed band, the communication method comprising:

performing an uplink channel access procedure;

transmitting, in a physical downlink shared channel, a message including a random access response grant for the cell of the unlicensed band; and

receiving a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) scheduled by the random access response grant for the cell of the unlicensed band; wherein

the random access response grant includes a field indicating at least an uplink channel access type for the PUSCH transmission;

the channel measurement circuitry is configured to perform the uplink channel access procedure indicated by the field;

a number of bits of the random access response grant is the same as a number of bits of a second random access response grant for a cell of a licensed band; and

a number of bits of a first resource allocation field included in the random access response grant is smaller than a number of bits of a second resource allocation field included in the second random access response grant.
