Abstract

Provided is a terminal including a transmission unit that performs repetition transmission of an uplink signal using an uplink channel, wherein the transmission unit performs the repetition transmission using specific slots that are nonconsecutive and allocated as transmission occasions for the repetition transmission.

Claims (25)

1 . A terminal comprising:

a transmitter that performs repetition transmission of an uplink signal in units of slots using an uplink shared channel for a repetition transmission type A of the uplink shared channel; and

a processor that identifies specific slots of non-consecutive assigned as slots for the repetition transmission, based on a time-division multiplexing pattern configured for the terminal,

wherein the transmitter performs the repetition transmission using the specific slots.

2 . The terminal according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a receiver that receives system information including an information element indicating the time-division multiplexing pattern.

3 . The terminal according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a receiver that receives a radio resource control message including an information element indicating the time-division multiplexing pattern.

4 . The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein

the transmitter transmits a message including an information element relating to a capability of the repetition transmission using the specific slots.

5 . A base station comprising:

a receiver that performs repetition reception of an uplink signal in units of slots using an uplink shared channel for a repetition transmission type A of the uplink shared channel; and

a processor that assumes a terminal identifies specific slots of non-consecutive assigned as slots for the repetition reception, based on a time-division multiplexing pattern configured for the terminal,

wherein the receiver performs the repetition reception using the specific slots.

6 . A radio communication system comprising:

a terminal, and

a base station, wherein

the terminal comprises:

a transmitter that performs repetition transmission of an uplink signal in units of slots using an uplink shared channel for a repetition transmission type A of the uplink shared channel; and

a processor that identifies specific slots of non-consecutive assigned as slots for the repetition transmission, based on a time-division multiplexing pattern configured for the terminal,

wherein the transmitter performs the repetition transmission using the specific slots.

7 . A radio communication method:

a step A of performing repetition transmission of an uplink signal in units of slots using an uplink shared channel for a repetition transmission type A of the uplink shared channel; and

a step B of identifying specific slots of non-consecutive assigned as slots for the repetition transmission, based on a time-division multiplexing pattern configured for the terminal,

wherein the step A includes a step of performing the repetition transmission using the specific slots.
