Abstract

An object is to enable proper operation of extended carrier aggregation that can allocate at least six component carriers to each user terminal. Provided is a user terminal that communicates with a radio base station that configures a plurality of cell groups each of which including one or more cells. The user terminal includes: a control unit that controls six or more component carriers configured by the radio base station; and a transmitting/receiving unit that receives information on a plurality of component carriers configured by the radio base station and feedbacks ACK/NACK information to one of the component carriers in each cell group.

Claims (16)

1. A user terminal comprising:

a transmitter that transmits uplink control information (UCI) including at least one ACK/NACK bit by using a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); and

a processor that controls whether or not to bundle a plurality of ACK/NACK bits separately depending on whether the UCI is transmitted by using the PUCCH or the PUSCH,

wherein when a plurality of cell groups is configured, the processor controls whether or not to bundle the plurality of ACK/NACK bits for each cell group.

2. The user terminal according to claim 1 , wherein when a plurality of cell groups is configured, the transmitter transmits the UCI to a specific cell belonging to each cell group.

3. The user terminal according to claim 1 , wherein when the UCI is transmitted by using the PUCCH, the processor bundles the plurality of ACK/NACK bits and when the UCI is transmitted by using the PUSCH, the processor cancels bundling the plurality of ACK/NACK bits.

4. The user terminal according to claim 2 , wherein when the UCI is transmitted by using the PUCCH, the processor bundles the plurality of ACK/NACK bits and when the UCI is transmitted by using the PUSCH, the processor cancels bundling the plurality of ACK/NACK bits.

5. A radio base station comprising:

a receiver that receives uplink control information (UCI) including at least one ACK/NACK bit by using a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); and

a processor that controls transmission of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) based on the ACK/NACK bit,

wherein whether or not to bundle a plurality of ACK/NACK bits is controlled separately depending on whether the UCI is received by using the PUCCH or the PUSCH, and

wherein when a plurality of cell groups is configured, whether or not to bundle the plurality of ACK/NACK bits is controlled for each cell group.

6. A radio communication method for a user terminal comprising:

transmitting uplink control information (UCI) including at least one ACK/NACK bit by using a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); and

controlling whether or not to bundle a plurality of ACK/NACK bits separately depending on whether the UCI is transmitted by using the PUCCH or the PUSCH,

wherein when a plurality of cell groups is configured, whether or not to bundle the plurality of ACK/NACK bits is controlled for each cell group.
