Base station apparatus, terminal apparatus and communication method for repetitive transmission of PUSCH
A terminal apparatus is provided. The terminal apparatus includes: a reception unit configured to receive (i) a radio resource control (RRC) message including first configuration information and (ii) downlink control information including a first field via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH); and a transmission unit configured to perform one or more repetitive transmissions of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) based on the first configuration information and the first field. The first configuration information is for configuring at least one of a starting symbol of a time resource corresponding to an index indicated by the first field, a number of symbols allocated to one PUSCH corresponding to the index, and a nominal number of repetitive transmissions corresponding to the index.
1. A terminal apparatus, comprising:
a reception unit configured to receive (i) a radio resource control (RRC) message including first configuration information and (ii) downlink control information including a first field via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH);
a transmission unit configured to perform one or more repetitive transmissions of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) based on the first configuration information and the first field,
wherein the first configuration information is for configuring at least one of a starting symbol of a time resource corresponding to an index indicated by the first field, a number of symbols allocated to the PUSCH corresponding to the index, and a nominal number of repetitive transmissions corresponding to the index; and
a determination unit configured to determine a symbol to be used for each of the one or more repetitive transmissions of the PUSCH based on the starting symbol, the number of symbols allocated to the PUSCH, the nominal number of repetitive transmissions, a slot boundary, and one or more uplink symbols available for transmitting the PUSCH, wherein:
the number of the one or more uplink symbols available for transmitting the PUSCH is different from the number of symbols allocated to the PUSCH corresponding to the index, and
the one or more repetitive transmissions of the PUSCH include a symbol that is unavailable for transmitting the PUSCH.
2. A base station apparatus, comprising:
a transmission unit configured to transmit, to a terminal apparatus, (i) a radio resource control (RRC) message including first configuration information and (ii) downlink control information including a first field via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH); and
a reception unit configured to receive one or more repetitive transmissions of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) based on the first configuration information and the first field,
wherein:
the first configuration information is for configuring at least one of a starting symbol of a time resource corresponding to an index indicated by the first field, a number of symbols allocated to the PUSCH corresponding to the index, and a nominal number of repetitive transmissions corresponding to the index,
a symbol to be used for each of the one or more repetitive transmissions of the PUSCH is determined by the terminal apparatus based on the starting symbol, the number of symbols allocated to the PUSCH, the nominal number of repetitive transmissions, a slot boundary, and one or more uplink symbols available for transmitting the PUSCH,
the number of the one or more uplink symbols available for transmitting the PUSCH is different from the number of symbols allocated to the PUSCH corresponding to the index, and
the one or more repetitive transmissions of the PUSCH include a symbol that is unavailable for transmitting the PUSCH.
3. A communication method for a terminal apparatus, comprising:
receiving (i) a radio resource control (RRC) message including first configuration information and (ii) downlink control information including a first field via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH);
performing one or more repetitive transmissions of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) based on the first configuration information and the first field,
wherein the first configuration information is for configuring at least one of a starting symbol of a time resource corresponding to an index indicated by the first field, a number of symbols allocated to the PUSCH corresponding to the index, and a nominal number of repetitive transmissions corresponding to the index; and
determining a symbol to be used for each of the one or more repetitive transmissions of the PUSCH based on the starting symbol, the number of symbols allocated to the PUSCH, the nominal number of repetitive transmissions, a slot boundary, and one or more uplink symbols available for transmitting the PUSCH, wherein:
the number of the one or more uplink symbols available for transmitting the PUSCH is different from the number of symbols allocated to the PUSCH corresponding to the index, and
the one or more repetitive transmissions of the PUSCH include a symbol that is unavailable for transmitting the PUSCH.
