Abstract

Included are a receiver receiving a PDCCH and a PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH, and a transmitter transmitting, on a PUCCH, one or multiple HARQ-ACKs including at least a HARQ-ACK corresponding to a TB included in the PDSCH and an SR. For the HARQ-ACK of two or less bits, a resource of the PUCCH is, from one or multiple PUCCH resources in a PUCCH resource set, based at least on a first value based at least on the number of bits of the one or multiple HARQ-ACKs transmitted in the PUCCH, regardless of the number of resources of the SR overlapping with the PUCCH. For the HARQ-ACK of more than two bits, the resource of the PUCCH is, from the one or multiple PUCCH resources in the PUCCH resource set, based at least on a sum of the number of bits of the one or multiple HARQ-ACKs and the SR.

Claims (17)

1. A terminal apparatus for Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resource selection, the terminal apparatus comprising:

a receiver configured to:

receive a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), and

receive a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) scheduled by the PDCCH; and

a transmitter configured to transmit, on a PUCCH, one or more Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Acknowledgements (HARQ-ACKs) and a Scheduling Request (SR), wherein the one or more HARQ-ACKs includes at least a HARQ-ACK corresponding to a transport block included in the PDSCH, and wherein:

in a case that a number of bits of the HARQ-ACK is equal to or less than two, a resource of the PUCCH is provided from one or more PUCCH resources included in a first PUCCH resource set based on a first value and a PUCCH resource indicator field,

the first value is provided based on at least a number of bits of the one or more HARQ-ACKs transmitted in the PUCCH, regardless of a number of resources of the SR that overlap with the PUCCH,

the PUCCH resource indicator field is included in a Downlink Control Information (DCI) format in the PDCCH, and

in a case that the number of bits of the HARQ-ACK exceeds two, the resource of the PUCCH is provided from one or more PUCCH resources included in a second PUCCH resource set based on at least a sum of the number of bits of the one or more HARQ-ACKs and the number of resources of the SR.

2. A communication method used by a terminal apparatus for Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resource selection, the communication method comprising:

receiving a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH);

receiving a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) scheduled by the PDCCH; and

transmitting, on a PUCCH, one or more Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Acknowledgements (HARQ-ACKs) and a scheduling request (SR), the one or more HARQ-ACKs including at least a HARQ-ACK corresponding to a transport block included in the PDSCH, wherein:

in a case that a number of bits of the HARQ-ACK is equal to or less than two, a resource of the PUCCH is provided from one or more PUCCH resources included in a first PUCCH resource set based on a first value and a PUCCH resource indicator field,

the first value is provided based on at least a number of bits of the one or more HARQ-ACKs transmitted in the PUCCH, regardless of a number of resources of the SR that overlap with the PUCCH,

the PUCCH resource indicator field is included in a Downlink Control Information (DCI) format in the PDCCH, and

in a case that the number of bits of the HARQ-ACK exceeds two, the resource of the PUCCH is provided from one or more PUCCH resources included in a second PUCCH resource set based on at least a sum of the number of bits of the one or more HARQ-ACKs and the number of resources of the SR.
