Abstract

A terminal apparatus includes a receiver configured to monitor a PDCCH with a DCI format on an active downlink BWP in a serving cell in a Secondary Cell Group (SCG), the DCI format being used for scheduling a PDSCH, and receive the PDSCH on the downlink BWP, and a transmitter configured to transmit a HARQ-ACK on a PUCCH. A value N RIV of a frequency domain resource allocation field included in the DCI format is equal to N size BWP *(L RBs −1 )+RB start , in a case that L RBS −1 is equal to or smaller than floor(N size BWP *2 ), the value N RIV is equal to N size BWP *(N size BWP −L RBs +1 )+(N size BWP −1 −RB start ) in a case that L RBS −1 is larger than floor(N size BWP /2 ), the floor(N size BWP /2 ) represents a largest integer within a range that does not exceed N size BWP /2, the RB start is a starting resource block for allocation of the PDSCH, the L RBs is a number of resource blocks allocated to the PDSCH, and the N size BWP is given based on the number of resource blocks in an initial downlink BWP configured by a first parameter in a case that the DCI format is detected in a common search space.

Claims (34)

1. A terminal apparatus comprising:

a receiver configured to monitor a Physical Downlink Control CHannel (PDCCH) with a Downlink Control Information (DCI) format on an active downlink BandWidth Part (BWP) in a serving cell, the DCI format being used for scheduling a Physical Downlink Shared CHannel (PDSCH), and receive the PDSCH on the active downlink BWP; and

a transmitter configured to transmit a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest ACKnowledgement (HARQ-ACK) on a Physical Uplink Control CHannel (PUCCH), wherein

a value N RIV of a frequency domain resource allocation field included in the DCI format is equal to N size BWP *(L RBs −1)+RB start , in a case that L RBs −1 is equal to or smaller than floor(N size BWP /2),

the value N RIV is equal to N size BWP *(N size BWP −L RBs +1)+(N size BWP −1−RB start ) in a case that L RBs 31 1 is larger than floor(N size BWP /2),

the floor(N size BWP /2) is a largest integer within a range that does not exceed the N size BWP /2,

the RB start is a starting resource block for allocation of the PDSCH,

the L RBs is a number of allocated resource blocks for the PDSCH,

the N size BWP is given based on whether or not a control resource set with an index O is configured,

the N size BWP is given based on a number of resource blocks for an initial downlink BWP configured by a first parameter in a case that the control resource set with the index O is not configured and the DCI format is detected in a common search space, and

the N size BWP is given based on a number of resource blocks for the control resource set with the index O in a case that the control resource set with the index O is configured by a second parameter different from the first parameter and the DCI format is detected in the common search space.

2. A base station apparatus comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit a Physical Downlink Control CHannel (PDCCH) with a Downlink Control Information (DCI) format on an active downlink BandWidth Part (BWP) in a serving cell, the DCI format being used for scheduling a Physical Downlink Shared CHannel (PDSCH), and transmit the PDSCH on the active downlink BWP; and

a receiver configured to receive a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest ACKnowledgement (HARQ-ACK) on a Physical Uplink Control CHannel (PUCCH), wherein

a value N RIV of a frequency domain resource allocation field included in the DCI format is equal to N size BWP *(L RBs −1)+RB start , in a case that L RBs −1 is equal to or smaller than floor(N size BWP /2),

the value N RIV is equal to N size BWP *(N size BWP −L RBs +1)+(N size BWP −1−RB start ) in a case that L RBs −1 is larger than floor(N size BWP /2),

the floor(N size BWP /2) is a largest integer within a range that does not exceed the N size BWP /2,

the RB start is a starting resource block for allocation of the PDSCH,

the L RBs is a number of allocated resource blocks for the PDSCH,

the N size BWP is given based on whether or not a control resource set with an index O is configured,

the N size BWP is given based on a number of resource blocks for an initial downlink BWP configured by a first parameter in a case that the control resource set with the index O is not configured and the DCI format is detected in a common search space, and

the N size BWP is given based on a number of resource blocks for the control resource set with the index O in a case that the control resource set with the index O is configured by a second parameter different from the first parameter and the DCI format is detected in the common search space.

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

monitoring a Physical Downlink Control CHannel (PDCCH) with a Downlink Control Information (DCI) format on an active downlink BandWidth Part (BWP) in a serving cell, the DCI format being used for scheduling a Physical Downlink Shared CHannel (PDSCH);

receiving the PDSCH on the active downlink BWP; and

transmitting a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest ACKnowledgement (HARQ-ACK) on a Physical Uplink Control CHannel (PUCCH), wherein

a value N RIV of a frequency domain resource allocation field included in the DCI format is equal to N size BWP *(L RBs −1)+RB start , in response to L RBs −1 being equal to or smaller than floor(N size BWP /2),

the value N RIV is equal to N size BWP *(N size BWP −L RBs +1)+(N size BWP −1−RB start ) in response to L RBs −1 being larger than floor(N size BWP /2),

the floor(N size BWP /2) is a largest integer within a range that does not exceed the N size BWP /2,

the RB start is a starting resource block for allocation of the PDSCH,

the L RBs is a number of allocated resource blocks for the PDSCH,

the NsizeBWP is given based on whether or not a control resource number of resource set with an index O is configured,

the N size BWP is given based on a number of resource blocks for an initial downlink BWP configured by a first parameter in response to the control resource set with the index O being not configured and the DCI format being detected in a common search space, and

the N size BWP is given based on a number of resource blocks for the control resource set with the index O in response to the control resource set with the index O being configured by a second parameter different from the first parameter and the DCI format is being detected in a common search space.
