Abstract

The present invention is designed so that, even when a sequence-based uplink control channel is used, uplink control information is reported appropriately. A user terminal according to one aspect of the present invention has a control section that determines to use one or both of a short uplink control channel, which is transmitted in a short period, and a long uplink control channel, which is transmitted in a longer period than the short uplink control channel, based on certain information, and a transmission section that transmits the uplink control information using the determined uplink control channel.

Claims (25)

1. A terminal comprising:

a processor that determines to use, in a same slot, both of a first uplink control channel with one symbol or two symbols and a second uplink control channel that is transmitted in a longer period than two symbols, based on information to indicate that uplink control information (UCI) includes channel state information (CSI), the information being configured by radio resource control (RRC) signaling; and

a transmitter that transmits the UCI using the determined uplink control channel in the same slot,

wherein a number of symbols in the same slot is fourteen,

a format of the first uplink control channel is different from a format of the second uplink control channel,

the first uplink control channel does not overlap with the second uplink control channel, and

when both the first uplink control channel and the second uplink control channel are determined to be used in the same slot, the transmitter transmits different UCI over the first uplink control channel and the second uplink control channel.

2. A radio communication method for a terminal, comprising:

determining to use, in a same slot, both of a first uplink control channel with one symbol or two symbols and a second uplink control channel that is transmitted in a longer period than two symbols, based on information to indicate that uplink control information (UCI) includes channel state information (CSI), the information being configured by radio resource control (RRC) signaling; and

transmitting the UCI using the determined uplink control channel in the same slot,

wherein a number of symbols in the same slot is fourteen,

a format of the first uplink control channel is different from a format of the second uplink control channel,

the first uplink control channel does not overlap with the second uplink control channel, and

when both the first uplink control channel and the second uplink control channel are determined to be used in the same slot, the terminal transmits different UCI over the first uplink control channel and the second uplink control channel.

3. A system comprising:

a terminal that comprises:

a processor that determines to use, in a same slot, both of a first uplink control channel with one symbol or two symbols and a second uplink control channel that is transmitted in a longer period than two symbols, based on information to indicate that uplink control information (UCI) includes channel state information (CSI), the information being configured by radio resource control (RRC) signaling; and

a transmitter that transmits the UCI using the determined uplink control channel in the same slot,

wherein a number of symbols in the same slot is fourteen,

a format of the first uplink control channel is different from a format of the second uplink control channel,

the first uplink control channel does not overlap with the second uplink control channel, and

when both the first uplink control channel and the second uplink control channel are determined to be used in the same slot, the transmitter transmits different UCI over the first uplink control channel and the second uplink control channel, and

a base station that comprises:

a receiver that receives the UCI that is transmitted using the determined uplink control channel in the same slot.

4. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein, when both the first uplink control channel and the second uplink control channel are determined to be used in the same slot, the transmitter does not transmit a demodulation reference signal for the first uplink control channel.
