Abstract

A user terminal according to the present invention includes: a transmission section that transmits Uplink Control Information (UCI) by using an uplink control channel; and a control section that, when one or more resource sets each including one or more resources for the uplink control channel are configured, determines a resource used for transmission of the UCI based on a given field value in Downlink Control Information (DCI) and implicit indication information from a resource set selected based on a number of bits of the UCI.

Claims (17)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives one or more pieces of downlink control information for scheduling of one or more physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs); and

a processor that, when a hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information for the PDSCHs is transmitted in a slot, determines based on a number of cells used for transmission of the PDSCHs whether or not to use a control channel element (CCE) index for determination of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource carrying the HARQ-ACK information,

wherein the processor determines not to use the CCE index for the determination of the PUCCH resource when the number of cells used for transmission of the PDSCHs is more than a value, and

wherein the processor determines not to use the CCE index for the determination of the PUCCH resource irrespective of a number of the one or more pieces of the downlink control information received by the receiver.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the CCE index is an index of CCE in the last physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) of one or more PDCCHs carrying the pieces of downlink control information.

3. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the CCE index is an index of CCE in a PDCCH corresponding to the largest cell index among the PDCCHs.

4. A radio communication method for terminal comprising:

receiving one or more pieces of downlink control information for scheduling of one or more physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs);

when a hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information for the PDSCH is transmitted in a slot, determining based on a number of cells used for transmission of the PDSCHs whether or not to use a control channel element (CCE) index for determination of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource carrying the HARQ-ACK information;

determining not to use the CCE index for the determination of the PUCCH resource when the number of cells used for transmission of the PDSCHs is more than a value; and

determining not to use the CCE index for the determination of the PUCCH resource irrespective of a number of the one or more pieces of the downlink control information.

5. A base station comprising:

a transmitter that transmits one or more pieces of downlink control information for scheduling of one or more physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH); and

a processor that, when a hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information for the PDSCH is transmitted in a slot, controls reception of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) using a PUCCH resource carrying the HARQ-ACK information, it being determined based on a number of cells used for transmission of the PDSCHs whether or not a control channel element (CCE) index is used for determination of the PUCCH resource,

wherein the CCE index is not used for the determination of the PUCCH resource when the number of cells used for transmission of the PDSCHs is more than a value, and

wherein the CCE index is not used for the determination of the PUCCH resource irrespective of a number of the one or more pieces of the downlink control information transmitted by the transmitter.
