Abstract

A terminal apparatus includes a receiver configured to monitor a PDCCH in a control resource set and a transmitter configured to transmit a PUSCH scheduled based on an uplink grant included in a DCI format transmitted in the PDCCH. The PDCCH includes one or more Control Channel Elements (CCEs). One of the one or more CCEs includes six Resource Element Groups (REGs). One of the REGs includes a PRB in an OFDM symbol. The one CCE includes one or more REG bundles non-continuously mapped in a frequency domain. One of the one or more REG bundles includes one or a plurality of the REGs. The number of the REGs constituting the one REG bundle in the frequency domain is given per the number of OFDM symbols in the one CCE.

Claims (40)

1. A terminal device comprising:

reception circuitry configured to or programmed to monitor a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in a control resource set and receive a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) scheduled by a Downlink Control Information (DCI) format transmitted by the PDCCH, wherein:

the PDCCH includes one or more Control Channel Elements (CCEs),

each of the one or more CCEs includes 6 Resource Element Groups (REGs) and each of the REGs includes 1 Physical Resource Block (PRB) of 1 Orthogonal Frequency Domain Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol,

each of the one or more CCEs includes one or more REG bundles distributed in a frequency domain, each of the one or more REG bundles includes one or more of REGs,

a number of the REGs in each REG bundle in the frequency domain is provided according to a number of OFDM symbols in each of the one or more CCEs,

in a case that a first configuration is configured by REG bundle related information, the PDSCH is not mapped to Resource Elements (REs) for a Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) corresponding to the control resource set, and

in a case that a second configuration is configured by the REG bundle related information, the PDSCH is not mapped to REs for a DMRS in the PDCCH.

2. The terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein a number of the REGs in the each REG bundle in a time domain is equal to a number of OFDM symbols in the control resource set.

3. The terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein:

in a case that the first configuration is configured by the REG bundle related information, a precoder is same within control resource set, and

in a case that the second configuration is configured by the REG bundle related information, the precoder is same within the each REG bundle.

4. A base station device comprising:

transmission circuitry configured to or programmed to transmit a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in a control resource set and transmit a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) scheduled by a Downlink Control Information (DCI) format transmitted by the PDCCH, wherein:

the PDCCH includes one or more Control Channel Elements (CCEs),

each of one or more CCEs includes 6 Resource Element Groups (REGs) and each of the REGs includes 1 Physical Resource Block (PRB) of 1 Orthogonal Frequency Domain Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol,

each of the one or more CCEs includes one or more REG bundles distributed in a frequency domain, each of the one or more REG bundles includes one or more of REGs,

a number of the REGs in the each REG bundle in the frequency domain is provided according to a number of OFDM symbols in each of the one or more CCEs,

in a case that a first configuration is configured by REG bundle related information, the PDSCH is not mapped to Resource Elements (REs) for a Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) corresponding to the control resource set, and

in a case that a second configuration is configured by the REG bundle related information, the PDSCH is not mapped to REs for a DMRS in the PDCCH.

5. The base station device according to claim 4 , wherein a number of the REGs in the each REG bundle in a time domain is equal to a number of OFDM symbols in the control resource set.

6. The base station device according to claim 4 , wherein:

in a case that the first configuration is configured by the REG bundle related information, a precoder is same within control resource set, and

in a case that the second configuration is configured by the REG bundle related information, the precoder is same within the each REG bundle.

7. A communication method used for a terminal device, the communication method comprising:

monitoring a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in a control resource set and receiving a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) scheduled by a Downlink Control Information (DCI) format transmitted by the PDCCH, wherein:

the PDCCH includes one or more Control Channel Elements (CCEs),

each of the one or more CCEs includes 6 Resource Element Groups (REGs) and each of the REGs includes 1 Physical Resource Block (PRB) of 1 Orthogonal Frequency Domain Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol,

each of the one or more CCEs includes one or more REG bundles distributed in a frequency domain, each of the one or more REG bundles includes one or more of REGs,

a number of the REGs in each REG bundle in the frequency domain is provided according to a number of OFDM symbols in each of the one or more CCEs,

in a case that a first configuration is configured by REG bundle related information, the PDSCH is not mapped to Resource Elements (REs) for a Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) corresponding to the control resource set, and

in a case that a second configuration is configured by the REG bundle related information, the PDSCH is not mapped to REs for a DMRS in the PDCCH.

8. A communication method used for a base station device, the communication method comprising:

transmitting a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in a control resource set and transmitting a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) scheduled by a Downlink Control Information (DCI) format transmitted by the PDCCH, wherein:

the PDCCH includes one or more Control Channel Elements (CCEs),

each of the one or more CCEs includes 6 Resource Element Groups (REGs) and each of the REGs includes 1 Physical Resource Block (PRB) of 1 Orthogonal Frequency Domain Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol,

each of the one or more CCEs includes one or more REG bundles distributed in a frequency domain, each of the one or more REG bundles includes one or more of REGs,

a number of the REGs in each REG bundle in the frequency domain is provided according to a number of OFDM symbols in each of the one or more CCEs,

in a case that a first configuration is configured by REG bundle related information, the PDSCH is not mapped to Resource Elements (REs) for a Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) corresponding to the control resource set, and

in a case that a second configuration is configured by the REG bundle related information, the PDSCH is not mapped to REs for a DMRS in the PDCCH.
