Abstract

Provided is a terminal configured to communicate with a base station with an FDD cell and a TDD cell. The terminal includes a reception unit configured to perform reception on a PDCCH transmitted in a DCI format. When a TDD cell is configured as a primary cell for the terminal, a first uplink reference UL-DL configuration used for determination of the interval between the reception of the PDCCH indicating a PUSCH transmission and the PUSCH transmission is configured for the TDD cell, and a second uplink reference UL-DL configuration used for determination of whether to use a DAI included in the DCI format of the PDCCH indicating the PUSCH transmission is configured in the FDD cell.

Claims (10)

1. A user equipment comprising:

a receiver that receives a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) or a control channel indicating semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) release on a serving cell;

a processor that generates hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) feedback bits for the PDSCH or the control channel; and

a transmitter that transmits the HARQ-ACK feedback bits, wherein

the processor determines the HARQ-ACK feedback bits based on a time division duplex (TDD) HARD-ACK reporting procedure for different UL/DL configurations, in a case that (a) the user equipment is configured with more than one serving cell, (b) a frame structure type of each serving cell of the more than one serving cell is a frame structure type 2, and (c) at least two configured serving cells of the more than one serving cell have respective UL/DL configurations which are different from each other,

the processor determines the HARQ-ACK feedback bits based on UL-reference UL/DL configuration belonging to { 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 6 } and the TDD HARQ-ACK reporting procedure, in a case that (a) the user equipment is configured with more than one serving cell, (b) frame structure types of any two configured serving cells are different, (c) a primary cell is a frame structure type 2, (d) the serving cell is a frame structure type 1, (e) downlink(DL)-reference uplink(UL)/DL configuration of the two configured serving cells belongs to { 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 6 }, and (f) a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) format 1b with channel selection is configured for a transmission of the HARQ-ACK feedback bits for the serving cell and the primary cell.

2. A user equipment according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor determines a number of downlink subframes or special subframes for which the transmitter needs to transmit the HARQ-ACK feedback bits based on UL-reference UL/DL configuration belonging to { 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 } and the TDD HARD-ACK reporting procedure, in a case that (a) the user equipment is configured with more than one serving cell, and (b) frame structure types of any two configured serving cells are different, (c) a primary cell is a frame structure type 2, (d) the serving cell is a frame structure type 1, and (e) a PUCCH format 3 is configured for transmission of the HARQ-ACK feedback bits.

3. A user equipment according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor determines the HARQ-ACK feedback bits based on the value of a downlink assignment index (DAI) in DCI (downlink control information) format 1/1A/1B/1D/2/2A/2B/2C/2D in a PDCCH/EPDCCH enhanced PDCCH (EPDCCH) for scheduling the PDSCH, in a case that (a) the user equipment is configured with more than one serving cell, and (b) frame structure types of any two configured serving cells are different, (c) a primary cell is a frame structure type 2, (d) the serving cell is a frame structure type 1, and (e) a DL reference UL/DL configuration of the serving cell is 0 .
