Terminal apparatus, base station apparatus, and communication method
A method by a user equipment (UE) is described. The method includes receiving, from a base station, information to configure a scheduling cell and scheduled cell(s) for cross-carrier scheduling and to configure carrier indicator field (CIF) value for respective cell, monitoring a first set of PDCCH candidates with a CCE aggregation level (AL) in a first set of CCEs in a CORESET for a first DCI format associated with a first serving cell wherein the first set of CCEs is given at least based on the CIF value of the first serving cell and the first DCI format having a first size is used for an uplink grant Type 2 PUSCH release, monitoring a second set of PDCCH candidates with the CCE AL in a second set of CCEs in the CORESET for a second DCI format associated with a second serving cell wherein the second set of CCEs is given at least based on the CIF value of the second serving cell and the second DCI format has a second size, receiving a PDCCH through a PDCCH candidate for the second DCI format in the first set of CCEs in a case that the first size and the second size are same.
1 . A user equipment (UE), comprising:
reception circuitry configured to receive, from a base station, Radio Resource Control RRC) parameters to configure a scheduling cell and at least one scheduled cell for cross-carrier scheduling and to configure a carrier indicator field (CIF) value for a respective cell; and
control circuitry configured to:
monitor a first set of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates with a control channel element (CCE) aggregation level (AL) in a first set of CCEs in a control resource set (CORESET) for a first downlink control information (DCI) format associated with a first serving cell, wherein the first set of CCEs is given at least based on a CIF value of the first serving cell, and the first DCI format has a first size, and
monitor a second set of PDCCH candidates with a CCE AL in a second set of CCEs in the CORESET for a second DCI format associated with a second serving cell, wherein the second set of CCEs is given at least based on a CIF value of the second serving cell, and the second DCI format has a second size and is used for an uplink grant Type 2 physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) release, wherein
in a case that the first size and the second size are equal, the control circuitry is further configured to receive a PDCCH through a PDCCH candidate with the CCE AL for the second DCI format in the first set of CCEs.
2 . A base station, comprising:
transmission circuitry configured to:
transmit, to a user equipment (UE), Radio Resource Control (RRC) parameters to configure a scheduling cell and at least one scheduled cell for cross-carrier scheduling and to configure a carrier indicator field (CIF) value for a respective cell,
transmit a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidate with a control channel element (CCE) aggregation level (AL) in a first set of CCEs in a control resource set (CORESET) for a first downlink control information (DCI) format associated with a first serving cell, wherein the first set of CCEs is given at least based on a CIF value of the first serving cell, and the first DCI format has a first size, and
transmit a second PDCCH candidate with a CCE AL in a second set of CCEs in the CORESET for a second DCI format associated with a second serving cell, wherein the second set of CCEs is given at least based on a CIF value of the second serving cell, and the second DCI format has a second size and is used for an uplink grant Type 2 physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) release, wherein
in a case that the first size and the second size are equal, the transmission circuitry is further configured to transmit a PDCCH through a PDCCH candidate with the CCE AL for the second DCI format in the first set of CCEs.
