Abstract

A terminal apparatus receives one transport block by using a PDSCH, receives RRC information indicating a maximum number X of CBGs, determines transmit power of a PUCCH, and transmits UCI at least including a HARQ-ACK corresponding to the one transport block on the PUCCH. The one transport block includes N CB code blocks. The HARQ-ACK includes the X HARQ-ACKs bits. In a case that a number of bits of the UCI does not exceed a prescribed number of bits, the transmit power of the PUCCH including the UCI is determined at least based on a smaller value of the X and the N CB . In a case that the number of bits of the UCI exceeds the prescribed number of bits, the transmit power of the PUCCH is determined at least based on the number of bits of the UCI.

Claims (34)

1. A terminal apparatus comprising:

reception circuitry configured to receive one transport block by using a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), and receive Radio Resource Control (RRC) information indicating a maximum number X of Code Block Groups (CBGs) for the one transport block;

control circuitry configured to determine transmit power of a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH); and

transmission circuitry configured to transmit Uplink Control Information (UCI) on the PUCCH, the UCI including at least a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ)-acknowledgement (ACK) corresponding to the one transport block, wherein

the one transport block includes N CB code blocks,

the HARQ-ACK includes X HARQ-ACKs bits,

the control circuitry is further configured to

determine, in a case that a number of bits of the UCI does not exceed a prescribed number of bits, the transmit power of the PUCCH, based on at least a smaller value of the maximum number X and the N CB , and

determine, in a case that the number of bits of the UCI exceeds the prescribed number of bits, the transmit power of the PUCCH, based on at least the number of bits of the UCI.

2. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the number of bits of the UCI is based on at least the maximum number X.

3. A base station apparatus comprising:

transmission circuitry configured to transmit one transport block by using a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), and transmit Radio Resource Control (RRC) information indicating a maximum number X of Code Block Groups (CBGs) for the one transport block; and

reception circuitry configured to receive a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ)-acknowledgement (ACK) corresponding to the one transport block on a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), wherein

the one transport block includes N CB code blocks,

the HARQ-ACK includes X HARQ-ACKs bits,

in a case that a number of bits of the UCI does not exceed a prescribed number of bits, the transmit power of the PUCCH including the UCI is given based on at least a smaller value of the maximum number X and the N CB , and

in a case that the number of bits of the UCI exceeds the prescribed number of bits, the transmit power of the PUCCH is given based on at least the number of bits of the UCI.

4. The base station apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the number of bits of the UCI is based on at least the maximum number X.

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

receiving one transport block by using a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH); receiving Radio Resource Control (RRC) information indicating a maximum number X of Code Block Groups (CBGs) for the one transport block;

determining transmit power of a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH); and

transmitting Uplink Control Information (UCI) on the PUCCH, the UCI including at least a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARD)-acknowledgement (ACK) corresponding to the one transport block, wherein

the one transport block includes N CB code blocks,

the HARQ-ACK includes X HARQ-ACKs bits,

in a case that a number of bits of the UCI does not exceed a prescribed number of bits, the transmit power of the PUCCH is determined based on at least a smaller value of the maximum number X and the N CB , and

in a case that the number of bits of the UCI exceeds the prescribed number of bits, the transmit power of the PUCCH is determined based on at least the number of bits of the UCI.

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

transmitting one transport block by using a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH);

transmitting Radio Resource Control (RRC) information indicating a maximum number X of Code Block Groups (CBGs) for the one transport block; and

receiving a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ)-acknowledgement (ACK) corresponding to the one transport block on a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), wherein

the one transport block includes N CB code blocks,

the HARQ-ACK includes X HARQ-ACKs bits,

in a case that a number of bits of the UCI does not exceed a prescribed number of bits, the transmit power of the PUCCH including the UCI is given based on at least a smaller value of the maximum number X and the N CB , and

in a case that the number of bits of the UCI exceeds the prescribed number of bits, the transmit power of the PUCCH is given based on at least the number of bits of the UCI.
