Abstract

A terminal apparatus capable of efficiently performing uplink and/or downlink communication is provided. With respect to communication related to transport blocks and code block groups, in a case that a PDSCH and/or a PUSCH is scheduled by a PDCCH detected in a common search space CSS, an operation applied to a transmission process includes a prescribed operation regardless of a prescribed condition and first configuration information. In a case that the PDSCH and/or the PUSCH is scheduled by the PDCCH detected in a UE-specific search space USS, the operation applied to the transmission process is provided, based at least on the prescribed condition and/or the first configuration information.

Claims (38)

1. A terminal device comprising:

a receiver configured to:

receive a first Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) scheduled by a first Downlink Control Information (DCI) format transmitted in a first Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in a UE specific search space,

receive a second PDSCH scheduled by a second DCI format transmitted in a second PDCCH in a common search space, and

receive a first configuration including at least the maximum number of Code Block Groups (CBG) included in a first transport block in the first PDSCH or in a second transport block in the second PDSCH; and

a transmitter configured to transmit a first Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) for the first transport block in the first PDSCH and a second HARQ-ACK for the second transport block in the second PDSCH, wherein:

the first DCI format includes information indicating which code block groups are transmitted, each of the code block groups including one or more code blocks, the first HARQ-ACK includes HARQ-ACK for each CBG included in the first transport block,

the second DCI format does not include information indicating which CBGs are transmitted,

in a case where the second transport block in the second PDSCH is a retransmission of the first transport block in the first PDSCH, the second HARQ-ACK includes HARQ-ACK for each CBG included in the second transport block, and

in a case where the second transport block in the second PDSCH is not a retransmission of the first transport block in the first PDSCH, the second HARQ-ACK includes HARQ-ACK for the second transport block.

2. A base station device comprising:

a transmitter configured to:

transmit a first Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) scheduled by a first Downlink Control Information (DCI) format transmitted in a first Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in a UE specific search space,

transmit a second PDSCH scheduled by a second DCI format transmitted in a second PDCCH in a common search space, and

transmit a first configuration including at least the maximum number of Code Block Groups (CBG) included in a first transport block in the first PDSCH or in a second transport block in the second PDSCH; and

a receiver configured to receive a first Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) for the first transport block in the first PDSCH and a second HARQ-ACK for the second transport block in the second PDSCH, wherein:

the first DCI format includes information indicating which code block groups are transmitted, each of the code block groups including one or more code blocks, the first HARQ-ACK includes HARQ-ACK for each CBG included in the first transport block,

the second DCI format does not include information indicating which CBGs are transmitted,

in a case where the second transport block in the second PDSCH is a retransmission of the first transport block in the first PDSCH, the second HARQ-ACK includes HARQ-ACK for each CBG included in the second transport block, and

in a case where the second transport block in the second PDSCH is not a retransmission of the first transport block in the first PDSCH, the second HARQ-ACK includes HARQ-ACK for the second transport block.

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

receiving a first Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) scheduled by a first Downlink Control Information (DCI) format transmitted in a first Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in a UE specific search space;

receiving a second PDSCH scheduled by a second DCI format transmitted in a second PDCCH in a common search space;

receiving a first configuration including at least the maximum number of Code Block Groups (CBG) included in a first transport block in the first PDSCH or in a second transport block in the second PDSCH; and

transmitting a first Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) for the first transport block in the first PDSCH and a second HARQ-ACK for the second transport block in the second PDSCH, wherein:

the first DCI format includes information indicating which code block groups are transmitted, each of the code block groups including one or more code blocks, the first HARQ-ACK includes HARQ-ACK for each CBG included in the first transport block,

the second DCI format does not include information indicating which CBGs are transmitted,

in a case where the second transport block in the second PDSCH is a retransmission of the first transport block in the first PDSCH, the second HARQ-ACK includes HARQ-ACK for each CBG included in the second transport block, and

in a case where the second transport block in the second PDSCH is not a retransmission of the first transport block in the first PDSCH, the second HARQ-ACK includes HARQ-ACK for the second transport block.

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

transmitting a first Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) scheduled by a first Downlink Control Information (DCI) format transmitted in a first Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in a UE specific search space,

transmitting a second PDSCH scheduled by a second DCI format transmitted in a second PDCCH in a common search space;

transmitting a first configuration including at least the maximum number of Code Block Groups (CBG) included in a first transport block in the first PDSCH or in a second transport block in the second PDSCH; and

receiving a first Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) for the first transport block in the first PDSCH and a second HARQ-ACK for the second transport block in the second PDSCH, wherein:

the first DCI format includes information indicating which code block groups are transmitted, each of the code block groups including one or more code blocks, the first HARQ-ACK includes HARQ-ACK for each CBG included in the first transport block,

the second DCI format does not include information indicating which CBGs are transmitted,

in a case where the second transport block in the second PDSCH is a retransmission of the first transport block in the first PDSCH, the second HARQ-ACK includes HARQ-ACK for each CBG included in the second transport block, and

in a case where the second transport block in the second PDSCH is not a retransmission of the first transport block in the first PDSCH, the second HARQ-ACK includes HARQ-ACK for the second transport block.
