Abstract

A terminal apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive a first Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) including a first downlink Bandwidth part Index Field (BIF) based on a PDCCH candidate of a first search space in a first serving cell and receive a second PDCCH including a second downlink BIF based on a PDCCH candidate in a second search space in the first serving cell, and a higher layer processing unit configured to activate any downlink bandwidth part (BWP) of a first set of downlink BWPs in the first serving cell based on information indicated by the first downlink BIF and activate a downlink BWP of a second set of downlink BWPs in a second serving cell based on information indicated by the second downlink BIF.

Claims (44)

1. A terminal apparatus comprising:

a reception circuitry configured to:

receive a first Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) including a first downlink Bandwidth part Index Field (BIF) based on a first PDCCH candidate in a first search space in a first serving cell; and

receive a second PDCCH including a second downlink BIF based on a second PDCCH candidate in a second search space in the first serving cell; and

a higher layer processing unit configured to:

activate a first downlink bandwidth part (BWP) of a first set of downlink BWPs in the first serving cell based on information indicated by the first downlink BIF; and

activate a second downlink BWP of a second set of downlink BWPs in a second serving cell based on information indicated by the second downlink BIF, wherein:

after receiving the first PDCCH, the reception circuitry is further configured to receive a first Physical downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) in the first downlink BWP based on the information indicated by the first downlink BIF included in the first PDCCH,

after receiving the second PDCCH, the reception circuitry is further configured to receive a second PDSCH in the second downlink BWP based on the information indicated by the second downlink BIF included in the second PDCCH,

a band allocated for the first PDSCH is provided based on at least a first Resource Allocation Field (RAF) included in the first PDCCH, and

a band allocated for the second PDSCH is provided based on at least a second RAF included in the second PDCCH.

2. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein a first carrier indicator field (CIF) included in the first PDCCH is set to a first value, and a second CIF included in the second PDCCH is set to a second value.

3. A base station apparatus comprising:

a transmission circuitry configured to:

transmit a first Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) including a first downlink Bandwidth part Index Field (BIF) based on a first PDCCH candidate in a first search space in a first serving cell; and

transmit a second PDCCH including a second downlink BIF based on a second PDCCH candidate in a second search space in the first serving cell; and

a higher layer processing unit configured to:

activate a first downlink bandwidth part (BWP) of a first set of downlink BWPs in the first serving cell based on information indicated by the first downlink BIF; and

activate a second downlink BWP of a second set of downlink BWPs in a second serving cell based on information indicated by the second downlink BIF, wherein:

after transmitting the first PDCCH, the transmission circuitry is further configured to transmit a first Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) in the first downlink BWP corresponding to the information indicated by the first downlink BIF included in the first PDCCH,

after transmitting the second PDCCH, the transmission circuitry is further configured to transmit a second PDSCH in the second downlink BWP corresponding to the information indicated by the second downlink BIF included in the second PDCCH,

a band allocated for the first PDSCH is provided based on at least a first Resource Allocation Field (RAF) included in the first PDCCH, and

a band allocated for the second PDSCH is provided based on at least a second RAF included in the second PDCCH.

4. The base station apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein a first carrier indicator field (CIF) included in the first PDCCH is set to a first value, and a second CIF included in the second PDCCH is set to a second value.

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

receiving a first Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) including a first downlink Bandwidth part Index Field (BIF) based on a first PDCCH candidate in a first search space in a first serving cell;

receiving a second PDCCH including a second downlink BIF based on a second PDCCH candidate in a second search space in the first serving cell;

activating a first downlink bandwidth part (BWP) of a first set of downlink BWPs in the first serving cell based on information indicated by the first downlink BIF;

activating a second downlink BWP of a second set of downlink BWPs in a second serving cell based on information indicated by the second downlink BIF;

after receiving the first PDCCH, receiving a first Physical downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) in the first downlink BWP based on the information indicated by the first downlink BIF included in the first PDCCH; and

after receiving the second PDCCH, receiving a second PDSCH in the second downlink BWP based on the information indicated by the second downlink BIF included in the second PDCCH, wherein:

a band allocated for the first PDSCH is provided based on at least a first Resource Allocation Field (RAF) included in the first PDCCH, and

a band allocated for the second PDSCH is provided based on at least a second RAF included in the second PDCCH.

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

transmitting a first Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) including a first downlink Bandwidth part Index Field (BIF) based on a first PDCCH candidate in a first search space in a first serving cell;

transmitting a second PDCCH including a second downlink BIF based on a second PDCCH candidate in a second search space in the first serving cell;

activating a first downlink bandwidth part (BWP) of a first set of downlink BWPs in the first serving cell based on information indicated by the first downlink BIF;

activating a second downlink BWP of a second set of downlink BWPs in a second serving cell based on information indicated by the second downlink BIF;

after transmitting the first PDCCH, transmitting a first Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) in the first downlink BWP corresponding to the information indicated by the first downlink BIF included in the first PDCCH; and

after transmitting the second PDCCH, transmitting a second PDSCH in the second downlink BWP corresponding to the information indicated by the second downlink BIF included in the second PDCCH, wherein:

a band allocated for the first PDSCH is provided based on at least a first Resource Allocation Field (RAF) included in the first PDCCH, and
