Abstract

Provided is a terminal capable of improving utilization efficiency of an uplink resource in an unlicensed band. In a terminal ( 200 ), a transmission control unit ( 206 ) sets, in accordance with at least one of a data size and retransmission of uplink data, a first end position of a time resource which is set for the uplink data to a second end position. A transmission unit ( 210 ) transmits the uplink data on the basis of the second end position.

Claims (19)

1. A terminal, comprising:

control circuitry, which, in operation, sets a first time offset in a first transmission of two transmissions, and changes to a second time offset for a second transmission of the two transmissions, the first transmission being prior to the second transmission, each of the first time offset and the second time offset being less than a length of a symbol; and

transmission circuitry, which, in operation, performs the second transmission based on the second time offset.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein a data size of the second transmission is smaller than a data size of the first transmission.

3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the second time offset is shorter than the first time offset.

4. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the first time offset is shorter than the second time offset.

5. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the first time offset is indicated from a base station.

6. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the first time offset and the second time offset are determined in accordance with uplink usage.

7. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the first transmission is an initial transmission and the second transmission is a retransmission.

8. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the first transmission and the second transmission are data transmission.

9. A base station, comprising:

control circuitry, which, in operation, sets a first time offset in a first transmission of two transmissions, and changes to a second time offset for a second transmission of the two transmissions, the first transmission being prior to the second transmission, each of the first time offset and the second time offset being less than a length of a symbol; and

reception circuitry, which, in operation, receives the second transmission based on the second time offset.

10. A transmission method, comprising

setting, by a terminal, a first time offset in a first transmission of two transmissions, and changing, by the terminal, to a second time offset for a second transmission of the two transmissions, the first transmission being prior to the second transmission, each of the first time offset and the second time offset being less than a length of a symbol; and

performing, by the terminal, the second transmission based on the second time offset.

11. A reception method, comprising

setting, by a base station, a first time offset in a first transmission of two transmissions, and changing, by the base station, to a second time offset for a second transmission of the two transmissions, the first transmission being prior to the second transmission, each of the first time offset and the second time offset being less than a length of a symbol; and

receiving, by the base station, the second transmission based on the second time offset.
