Abstract

According to the present invention, there are provided a base station device, a terminal device, a communication method, and an integrated circuit capable of performing communication more efficiently when the terminal device transmits an uplink signal based on scheduling by the base station device. The terminal device includes a setting unit that sets a first uplink-downlink configuration, a second uplink-downlink configuration, and a third uplink-downlink configuration, a reception unit that monitors a physical downlink control channel accompanied with a downlink control information format which is used to schedule a physical downlink shared channel in a downlink subframe based on the third uplink-downlink configuration and includes information making a request for transmitting a sounding reference signal, and a transmission unit that transmits or drops the sounding reference signal and transmit an HARQ-ACK for transmission with the physical downlink shared channel.

Claims (30)

1. A terminal device configured to communicate with a base station device, the terminal device comprising:

reception circuitry configured to

receive an RRC message including first information indicating an uplink-downlink configuration,

receive, on a physical downlink control channel, second information indicating an uplink-downlink configuration, and

receive a random access response; and

transmission circuitry configured to perform, in a subframe indicated as an uplink subframe by the uplink-downlink configuration based on the second information, transmission on a physical uplink shared channel that is based on decoding of a physical downlink control channel with a CRC scrambled by a C-RNTI,

wherein the transmission circuitry is configured to perform, based on information included in the random access response, transmission on a physical uplink shared channel in an uplink subframe based on the uplink-downlink configuration indicated by the first information.

2. The terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the transmission circuitry is configured not to perform, in a subframe indicated as a downlink subframe by the uplink-downlink configuration based on the second information, the transmission on the physical uplink shared channel based on the decoding of the physical downlink control channel with the CRC scrambled by the C-RNTI.

3. A base station device configured to communicate with a terminal device, the base station device comprising:

transmission circuitry configured to

transmit an RRC message including first information indicating an uplink-downlink configuration,

transmit, on a physical downlink control channel, second information indicating an uplink-downlink configuration, and

transmit a random access response; and

reception circuitry configured to perform, in a subframe indicated as an uplink subframe by the uplink-downlink configuration based on the second information, reception on a physical uplink shared channel that is based on decoding of a physical downlink control channel with a CRC scrambled by a C-RNTI,

wherein the reception circuitry is configured to perform, based on information included in the random access response, reception on a physical uplink shared channel in an uplink subframe based on the uplink-downlink configuration indicated by the first information.

4. The base station device according to claim 3 , wherein the reception circuitry is configured not to perform, in a subframe indicated as a downlink subframe by the uplink-downlink configuration based on the second information, the reception on the physical uplink shared channel based on the decoding of the physical downlink control channel with the CRC scrambled by the C-RNTI.

5. A communication method for a terminal device configured to communicate with a base station device, the communication method comprising:

receiving an RRC message including first information indicating an uplink-downlink configuration;

receiving, on a physical downlink control channel, second information indicating an uplink-downlink configuration;

receiving a random access response;

performing, in a subframe indicated as an uplink subframe by the uplink-downlink configuration based on the second information, transmission on a physical uplink shared channel that is based on decoding of a physical downlink control channel with a CRC scrambled by a C-RNTI; and

performing, based on information included in the random access response, transmission on a physical uplink shared channel in an uplink subframe based on the uplink-downlink configuration indicated by the first information.

6. The communication method according to claim 5 , wherein the transmission on the physical uplink shared channel based on the decoding of the physical downlink control channel with the CRC scrambled by the C-RNTI is not performed in a subframe indicated as a downlink subframe by the uplink-downlink configuration based on the second information.

7. A communication method for a base station device configured to communicate with a terminal device, the communication method comprising:

transmitting an RRC message including first information indicating an uplink-downlink configuration;

transmitting, on a physical downlink control channel, second information indicating an uplink-downlink configuration;

transmitting a random access response;

performing, in a subframe indicated as an uplink subframe by the uplink-downlink configuration based on the second information, reception on a physical uplink shared channel that is based on decoding of a physical downlink control channel with a CRC scrambled by a C-RNTI; and

performing, based on information included in the random access response, reception on a physical uplink shared channel in an uplink subframe based on the uplink-downlink configuration indicated by the first information.

8. The communication method according to claim 7 , wherein the reception on the physical uplink shared channel based on the decoding of the physical downlink control channel with the CRC scrambled by the C-RNTI is not performed in a subframe indicated as a downlink subframe by the uplink-downlink configuration based on the second information.
