Abstract

A base station that switches between uplink periods and downlink periods in a time division manner and performs communication, the base station includes a memory; processor circuitry coupled to the memory, wherein the processor circuitry is configured to: notify of allocation information indicating a combination of resources for time division duplex (TDD) uplink (UL) or downlink (DL) configuration at a predetermined interval; and generate control information indicating cancelation of transmission of a downlink signal, wherein the canceled transmission is configured to be performed by using one of the resources designated by the allocation information, and wherein the processor circuitry is further configured to transmit the generated control information.

Claims (20)

1 . A terminal comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit an uplink signal;

a receiver configured to:

receive information indicating allocation information used for communication with a base station from among a plurality of pieces of allocation information, each of the plurality of pieces of allocation information indicating a combination of resources for time division duplex (TDD) of uplink (UL) or downlink (DL) configuration at a predetermined interval; and

processor circuitry configured to, in a case where a first uplink signal is scheduled to be transmitted to the base station via a first resource among the resources for the UL configuration, control the transmitter not to transmit to the base station, via the first resource, the first uplink signal that has been scheduled to be transmitted to the base station via the first resource, in response to the receiver receiving control information indicating to cancel transmission of the first uplink signal that has been scheduled to be transmitted to the base station via the first resource, wherein

the plurality of pieces of allocation information include:

first allocation information that does not include the UL configuration; and

second allocation information that does not include the DL configuration.

2 . The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitter is configured to transmit a first allocation request for the first uplink signal or a second allocation request for a second uplink data signal, the second uplink signal has a higher delay requirement than the first uplink signal.

3 . The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the first allocation request of resource is allocated a first cycle, the second allocation request of resource is allocated a second cycle, the second cycle is shorter than the first cycle.

4 . The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the transmitter transmits the second allocation request when the second signal is occurred.

5 . The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein

the plurality of pieces of allocation information includes first allocation information, second allocation information, and third allocation information,

the first allocation information does not include UL period at the predetermined interval,

the second allocation information does not include DL period at the predetermined interval, and

the third allocation information does not include the UL period and the DL period at the predetermined interval.

6 . The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the receiver receives allocation information allocated for two or more predetermined intervals.

7 . The terminal according to claim 6 , wherein each of the two or more predetermined intervals correspond to one of a predetermined number of subframes.

8 . The terminal according to claim 7 , wherein the receiver receives change information for changing an allocation ratio of resources of uplink and downlink signals.

9 . The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitter is configured to transmit a first allocation request for the first uplink signal and a second allocation request for a second uplink-data signal, the second uplink signal has a higher delay requirement than the first uplink signal.
