Abstract

A communication method used by a base station apparatus includes: transmitting a PDCCH, a PDSCH, and a higher layer signaling to configure threshold values; and receiving HARQ-ACKs and an SR, the HARQ-ACKs including a HARQ-ACK. When a number of bits of the HARQ-ACK is equal to or less than two, a resource of the PUCCH is provided from PUCCH resources included in a first PUCCH resource set based on a first value provided based on a number of bits of the HARQ-ACKs received in the PUCCH, regardless of a number of resources of the SR that overlap with the PUCCH, and when the number of bits of the HARQ-ACK exceeds two, the resource of the PUCCH is provided from PUCCH resources included in a second PUCCH resource set based on threshold values, a sum of the number of bits of the HARQ-ACKs, and the number of resources of the SR.

Claims (19)

1. A base station apparatus for Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resource selection, the base station apparatus comprising:

a transmitter configured to:

transmit a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH),

transmit a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) scheduled by the PDCCH, and

transmit a higher layer signaling to configure one or more threshold values; and

a receiver configured to receive, on a PUCCH, one or more Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Acknowledgements (HARQ-ACKs) and a Scheduling Request (SR), wherein the one or more HARQ-ACKs include at least a HARQ-ACK corresponding to a transport block included in the PDSCH, wherein:

in a case that a number of bits of the HARQ-ACK is equal to or less than two, a resource of the PUCCH is provided from one or more PUCCH resources included in a first PUCCH resource set based on a first value and a PUCCH resource indicator field,

the first value is at least a number of bits of the one or more HARQ-ACKs received in the PUCCH, regardless of a number of resources of the SR that overlap with the PUCCH,

the PUCCH resource indicator field is included in a Downlink Control Information (DCI) format in the PDCCH, and

in a case that the number of bits of the HARQ-ACK exceeds two, the resource of the PUCCH is provided from one or more PUCCH resources included in a second PUCCH resource set based on at least the one or more threshold values, a sum of the number of bits of the one or more HARQ-ACKs, and the number of resources of the SR.

2. A communication method used by a base station apparatus for Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resource selection, the communication method comprising:

transmitting a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH);

transmitting a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) scheduled by the PDCCH;

transmitting a higher layer signaling to configure one or more threshold values; and

receiving, on a PUCCH, one or more Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Acknowledgements (HARQ-ACKs) and a Scheduling Request (SR), the one or more HARQ-ACKs including at least a HARQ-ACK corresponding to a transport block included in the PDSCH, wherein:

in a case that a number of bits of the HARQ-ACK is equal to or less than two, a resource of the PUCCH is provided from one or more PUCCH resources included in a first PUCCH resource set based on a first value and a PUCCH resource indicator field,

the first value is at least a number of bits of the one or more HARQ-ACKs received in the PUCCH, regardless of a number of resources of the SR that overlap with the PUCCH,

the PUCCH resource indicator field is included in a Downlink Control Information (DCI) format in the PDCCH, and

in a case that the number of bits of the HARQ-ACK exceeds two, the resource of the PUCCH is provided from one or more PUCCH resources included in a second PUCCH resource set based on at least the one or more threshold values, a sum of the number of bits of the one or more HARQ-ACKs, and the number of resources of the SR.
