Abstract

In a case that multiple configured uplink grants are configured in a single serving cell, there is a problem that normal communication cannot be performed unless appropriate control is performed to prevent transmissions in a radio resource (slot) of the same timing. A mobile station apparatus in a communication system including at least a base station apparatus and the mobile station apparatus for which the base station apparatus allocates a normal uplink and a supplementary uplink in a single serving cell, wherein the mobile communication apparatus is configured to configure a configured uplink grant individually for each of the normal uplink and the supplementary uplink, and validate, in a case that the serving cell is activated, one of the configured uplink grant configured for the normal uplink and the configured uplink grant configured for the supplementary uplink and suspend another one.

Claims (16)

1. A mobile station apparatus in a communication system including at least a base station apparatus and the mobile station apparatus for which the base station apparatus allocates a normal uplink and a supplementary uplink in a single serving cell, wherein the mobile station apparatus is configured to:

configure a configured uplink grant individually for each of the normal uplink and the supplementary uplink, and

validate, in a case that the serving cell is activated, one of the configured uplink grant configured for the normal uplink and the configured uplink grant configured for the supplementary uplink and suspend another one.

2. The mobile station apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein validating one of the configured uplink grant configured for the normal uplink and the configured uplink grant configured for the supplementary uplink comprises:

in the case that the serving cell is activated, validating the configured uplink grant configured for the normal uplink and suspending the configured uplink grant configured for the supplementary uplink.

3. The mobile station apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein validating one of the configured uplink grant configured for the normal uplink and the configured uplink grant configured for the supplementary uplink comprises:

in the case that the serving cell is activated, validating the configured uplink grant configured for the supplementary uplink and suspending the configured uplink grant configured for the normal uplink.

4. The mobile station apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the mobile station apparatus is further configured to:

receive, from the base station apparatus, control information including default uplink information specifying either one of the normal uplink and the supplementary uplink as a default uplink, wherein validating one of the configured uplink grant configured for the normal uplink and the configured uplink grant configured for the supplementary uplink comprises:

in the case that the serving cell is activated, validating the configured uplink grant for the default uplink specified by the default uplink information.

5. The mobile station apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the mobile station apparatus is further configured to:

suspend, in a case that the serving cell is deactivated, the configured uplink grant that was validate; and

validate, in a case that the serving cell is activated again, the configured uplink grant that was suspended due to the serving cell being deactivated.

6. The mobile station apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the mobile station apparatus is further configured to:

receive, from the base station apparatus, uplink switching control information; and

suspend the configured uplink grant that was validated and validate the configured uplink grant that was suspended based on the received uplink switching control information.
