Abstract

A terminal apparatus ( 1, 1 A, 1 B) includes: a receiver ( 10 ) configured to receive preamble index information on a physical downlink control channel; and a transmitter ( 10 ) configured to, in a case where the preamble index information indicates a prescribed value, select a block from one or more blocks to transmit a random access preamble based on the block selected, and in a case where the preamble index information indicates a value other than the prescribed value, transmit the random access preamble corresponding to a preamble index indicated by the preamble index information, wherein the block includes four OFDM symbols to which at least a synchronization signal and a physical broadcast channel are mapped.

Claims (32)

1. A terminal apparatus comprising:

a receiver configured to receive preamble index information on a physical downlink control channel; and

a transmitter configured to:

in a case where the preamble index information indicates a prescribed value, select a block from multiple blocks based on results of monitoring the multiple blocks and transmit a random access preamble based on the block selected, and

in a case where the preamble index information indicates a value other than the prescribed value, transmit the random access preamble corresponding to a preamble index indicated by the preamble index information, wherein

the block selected includes four Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols to which at least a physical broadcast channel is mapped.

2. A base station apparatus comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit preamble index information on a physical downlink control channel; and

a receiver configured to:

in a case where the preamble index information indicates a prescribed value, receive a random access preamble based on a block selected from multiple blocks by a terminal apparatus based on results of monitoring the multiple blocks, and

in a case where the preamble index information indicates a value other than the prescribed value, receive the random access preamble corresponding to a preamble index indicated by the preamble index information, wherein

the block selected includes four Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols to which at least a physical broadcast channel is mapped.

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

receiving preamble index information on a physical downlink control channel; and

selecting, in a case where the preamble index information indicates a prescribed value, a block from multiple blocks based on results of monitoring the multiple blocks to transmit a random access preamble based on the block selected, and

transmitting, in a case where the preamble index information indicates a value other than the prescribed value, the random access preamble corresponding to a preamble index indicated by the preamble index information, wherein

the block selected includes four Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols to which at least a physical broadcast channel is mapped.

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

transmitting preamble index information on a physical downlink control channel; and

receiving, in a case where the preamble index information indicates a prescribed value, a random access preamble based on a block selected from multiple blocks by a terminal apparatus based on results of monitoring the multiple blocks, and

receiving, in a case where the preamble index information indicates a value other than the prescribed value, the random access preamble corresponding to a preamble index indicated by the preamble index information, wherein

the block selected includes four Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols to which at least a physical broadcast channel is mapped.

5. An integrated circuit implemented on a terminal apparatus, the integrated circuit causing the terminal apparatus to perform:

receiving preamble index information on a physical downlink control channel;

selecting, in a case where the preamble index information indicates a prescribed value, a block from multiple blocks based on results of monitoring the multiple blocks and transmitting a random access preamble based on the block selected, and

transmitting, in a case where the preamble index information indicates a value other than the prescribed value, the random access preamble corresponding to a preamble index indicated by the preamble index information, wherein

the block selected includes four Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols to which at least a physical broadcast channel is mapped.

6. An integrated circuit implemented on a base station apparatus, the integrated circuit causing the base station apparatus to perform:

transmitting preamble index information on a physical downlink control channel;

receiving, in a case where the preamble index information indicates a prescribed value, a random access preamble based on a block selected from multiple blocks by a terminal apparatus based on results of monitoring the multiple blocks, and

receiving, in a case where the preamble index information indicates a value other than the prescribed value, the random access preamble corresponding to a preamble index indicated by the preamble index information, wherein

the block selected includes four Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols to which at least a physical broadcast channel is mapped.
