Abstract

A base station apparatus ( 3 ) includes a receiver ( 30 ) configured to receive an initial transmission of a transport block and a transmitter ( 30 ) configured to transmit a PDCCH for retransmission of the transport block. An uplink grant for the initial transmission of the transport block is included in a random access response corresponding to a non-contention based random access procedure. A type of a search space in which the PDCCH for retransmission of the transport block is transmitted is determined, based at least on whether an RRC layer parameter shortProcessingTime is configured for the terminal apparatus.

Claims (28)

1. A terminal apparatus comprising:

a transmitter configured to perform an initial transmission of a transport block; and

a receiver configured to attempt to decode a PDCCH for retransmission of the transport block, wherein

an uplink grant for the initial transmission of the transport block is included in a random access response corresponding to a non-contention based random access procedure, and

a type of a search space in which decoding of the PDCCH for retransmission of the transport block is attempted is determined, based at least on whether an RRC layer parameter shortProcessingTime is configured, wherein

in a case that the RRC layer parameter shortProcessingTime is configured, the type of the search space in which decoding of the PDCCH for retransmission of the transport block is attempted is a common search space, and

in a case that the RRC layer parameter shortProcessingTime is not configured, the type of the search space in which decoding of the PDCCH for retransmission of the transport block is attempted is the common search space and a UE-specific search space.

2. A base station apparatus for communicating with a terminal apparatus, the base station apparatus comprising:

a receiver configured to receive an initial transmission of a transport block; and

a transmitter configured to transmit a PDCCH for retransmission of the transport block, wherein

an uplink grant for the initial transmission of the transport block is included in a random access response corresponding to a non-contention based random access procedure, and

a type of a search space in which the PDCCH for retransmission of the transport block is transmitted is determined, based at least on whether an RRC layer parameter shortProcessingTime is configured for the terminal apparatus, wherein

in a case that the RRC layer parameter shortProcessingTime is configured for the terminal apparatus, the type of the search space in which the PDCCH for retransmission of the transport block is transmitted is a common search space, and

in a case that the RRC layer parameter shortProcessingTime is not configured for the terminal apparatus, the type of the search space in which decoding of the PDCCH for retransmission of the transport block is attempted is the common search space and a UE-specific search space.

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

performing an initial transmission of a transport block; and

attempting to decode a PDCCH for retransmission of the transport block, wherein

an uplink grant for the initial transmission of the transport block is included in a random access response corresponding to a non-contention based random access procedure,

a type of a search space in which decoding of the PDCCH for retransmission of the transport block is attempted is determined, based at least on whether or not an RRC layer parameter shortProcessingTime is configured,

in a case that the RRC layer parameter shortProcessingTime is configured, the type of the search space in which decoding of the PDCCH for retransmission of the transport block is attempted is a common search space, and

in a case that the RRC layer parameter shortProcessingTime is not configured, the type of the search space in which decoding of the PDCCH for retransmission of the transport block is attempted is the common search space and a UE-specific search space.

4. A communication method used for a base station apparatus configured to communicate with a terminal apparatus, the communication method comprising the steps of:

receiving an initial transmission of a transport block, and

transmitting a PDCCH for retransmission of the transport block, wherein

an uplink grant for the initial transmission of the transport block is included in a random access response corresponding to a non-contention based random access procedure,

a type of a search space in which the PDCCH for retransmission of the transport block is transmitted is determined, based at least on whether an RRC layer parameter shortProcessingTime is configured for the terminal apparatus,

in a case that the RRC layer parameter shortProcessingTime is configured for the terminal apparatus, the type of the search space in which the PDCCH for retransmission of the transport block is transmitted is a common search space, and

in a case that the RRC layer parameter shortProcessingTime is not configured for the terminal apparatus, the type of the search space in which decoding of the PDCCH for retransmission of the transport block is attempted is the common search space and a UE-specific search space.
