Abstract

A base station apparatus receives an uplink shared channel and a reference signal, the uplink shared channel including uplink data, an identifier of a terminal apparatus that has transmitted the uplink data, a first CRC generated from the identifier bits, and a second CRC generated from the uplink data bits. In a case that an error is detected based on the first CRC, the base station apparatus transmits a first NACK by using a control signal associated with the reference signal sequence. In a case that an error is detected based on the second CRC, the base station apparatus transmits a second NACK by using a control signal associated with the identifier indicating the terminal apparatus.

Claims (37)

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

a receiver configured to receive a physical uplink shared channel, and a reference signal used to demodulate the physical uplink shared channel; and

a transmitter configured to transmit a signal indicating a delivery confirmation for the physical uplink shared channel, wherein

the physical uplink shared channel includes uplink data bits, identifier bits indicating a terminal apparatus that has transmitted the uplink data bits, first Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) bits generated from the identifier bits, and second CRC bits generated from the uplink data bits,

in a case that an error is detected based on the first CRC bits, the transmitter transmits a first Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) by using a control signal associated with a sequence of the reference signal, and

in a case that an error is detected based on the second CRC bits, the transmitter transmits a second NACK by using a control signal associated with an identifier indicating the terminal apparatus.

2. The base station apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the transmitter transmits resource configuration information including a number of times the physical uplink shared channel is repeatedly transmitted, by using the control signal associated with the sequence of the reference signal.

3. The base station apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the receiver multiplies a bit indicating the first NACK by a spreading code sequence identified by using cyclic shift performed on the sequence of the reference signal, and generates the control signal associated with the sequence of the reference signal, and

the receiver adds, to a bit indicating the second NACK, CRC bits scrambled with the identifier indicating the terminal apparatus, and generates the control signal associated with the identifier indicating the terminal apparatus.

4. The base station apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the receiver adds, to a bit indicating the first NACK, CRC bits scrambled with an identifier generated by using radio resources to which the sequence of the reference signal is mapped, and generates the control signal associated with the sequence of the reference signal, and

the receiver adds, to a bit indicating the second NACK, CRC bits scrambled with the identifier indicating the terminal apparatus, and generates the control signal associated with the identifier indicating the terminal apparatus.

5. A communication method used for a base station apparatus for communicating with a terminal apparatus, the communication method comprising:

a reception step of receiving a physical uplink shared channel, and a reference signal used to demodulate the physical uplink shared channel; and

a transmission step of transmitting a signal indicating a delivery confirmation for the physical uplink shared channel, wherein

the physical uplink shared channel includes uplink data bits, identifier bits indicating a terminal apparatus that has transmitted the uplink data bits, first Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) bits generated from the identifier bits, and second CRC bits generated from the uplink data bits,

in the reception step, the first CRC bits are descrambled by using a sequence of the reference signal, and the second CRC bits are descrambled by using an identifier indicating the terminal apparatus,

in the transmission step, in a case that an error is detected based on the first CRC bits, a first Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) is transmitted by using a control signal associated with the sequence of the reference signal, and

in a case that an error is detected based on the second CRC bits, a second NACK is transmitted by using a control signal associated with the identifier indicating the terminal apparatus.

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

a transmitter configured to transmit a physical uplink shared channel, and a reference signal used to demodulate the physical uplink shared channel; and

a receiver configured to receive a signal indicating a delivery confirmation for the physical uplink shared channel, wherein

the physical uplink shared channel includes uplink data bits, identifier bits indicating a terminal apparatus that has transmitted the uplink data bits, first Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) bits generated from the identifier bits, and second CRC bits generated from the uplink data bits,

the transmitter scrambles the first CRC bits by using a sequence of the reference signal, and scrambles the second CRC bits by using an identifier indicating the terminal apparatus,

in a case that the receiver receives a Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) on a control signal associated with the sequence of the reference signal, the receiver interprets that identification of the terminal apparatus has failed,

in a case that the receiver receives a NACK on a control signal associated with the identifier indicating the terminal apparatus, the receiver interprets that decoding of the uplink data bits has failed, and

in a case that the receiver receives neither of the control signals within a prescribed period of time, the receiver interprets that the reference signal has not been recognized.

7. A communication method used for a terminal apparatus for communicating with a base station apparatus, the communication method comprising:

a transmission step of transmitting a physical uplink shared channel, and a reference signal used to demodulate the physical uplink shared channel; and

a reception step of receiving a signal indicating a delivery confirmation for the physical uplink shared channel, wherein

the physical uplink shared channel includes uplink data bits, identifier bits indicating a terminal apparatus that has transmitted the uplink data bits, first Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) bits generated from the identifier bits, and second CRC bits generated from the uplink data bits,

in the transmission step, the first CRC bits are scrambled by using a sequence of the reference signal, and the second CRC bits are scrambled by using an identifier indicating the terminal apparatus,

in the reception step, in a case that a Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) is received on a control signal associated with the sequence of the reference signal, it is interpreted that identification of the terminal apparatus has failed,

in a case that a NACK(is received on a control signal associated with the identifier indicating the terminal apparatus, it is interpreted that decoding of the uplink data bits has failed, and

in a case that neither of the control signals is received within a prescribed period of time, it is interpreted that the reference signal has not been recognized.
