Abstract

A terminal communicating with a base station by using FDD cells and TDD cells includes a reception unit that performs reception over a PDCCH transmitted using a DCI format. In a case where a primary cell is configured as the TDD cell for the terminal, DAI indicating the accumulated number of PDCCHs or EPDCCHs indicating releasing of downlink semi-persistent scheduling or transmission of a PDSCH in subframes until a current subframe of prescribed subframes is received while being included in the DCI format. A transmit power of a PUCCH transmitted while including HARQ-ACK corresponding to the PDCCH or the EPDCCH indicating the releasing of the downlink semi-persistent scheduling or the transmission of the PDSCH is determined based on a value of the DAI.

Claims (36)

1. A user equipment comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit hybrid automatic repeat request—acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) bits in a subframe n, and

a receiver configured to detect downlink control information (DCI) format 0 or 4 corresponding to a physical uplink shared channel on a serving cell, wherein

a number of the HARQ-ACK bits is determined based on a value of W UL DAI , W UL DAI being a variable that is determined using a value of a downlink assignment index (DAI) which is notified while being included in an uplink grant,

in a case that the user equipment is configured with more than one serving cell, frame structure types of at least two configured serving cells included in the more than one serving cell are different, and a primary cell is frame structure type 2,

for the serving cell with frame structure type other than the frame structure type 2, the value of the W UL DAI is determined by the DAI in a subframe n−4,

for the serving cell with the frame structure type 2, the value of the W UL DAI is determined by the DAI in a subframe n−k′, the k′ being defined on the basis of the n and an uplink-reference uplink/downlink configuration for the serving cell with the frame structure type 2,

the DAI is in the DCI format 0 or 4, and

the frame structure type 2 is applicable to a time division duplex.

2. A communication method of a user equipment, comprising:

transmitting hybrid automatic repeat request—acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) bits in a subframe n, and

detecting downlink control information (DCI) format 0 or 4 corresponding to a physical uplink shared channel on a serving cell, wherein

a number of the HARQ-ACK bits is determined based on a value of W UL DAI , W UL DAI being a variable that is determined using a value of a downlink assignment index (DAI) which is notified while being included in an uplink grant,

in a case that the user equipment is configured with more than one serving cell, frame structure types of at least two configured serving cells included in the more than one serving cell are different, and a primary cell is frame structure type 2,

for the serving cell with frame structure type other than the frame structure type 2, the value of the W UL DAI is determined by the DAI in a subframe n−4,

for the serving cell with the frame structure type 2, the value of the W UL DAI is determined by the DAI in a subframe n−k′, the k′ being defined on the basis of the n and an uplink-reference uplink/downlink configuration for the serving cell with the frame structure type 2,

the DAI is in the DCI format 0 or 4, and

the frame structure type 2 is applicable to a time division duplex.

3. A base station apparatus that is configured to communicate with a user equipment, comprising:

a receiver configured to receive hybrid automatic repeat request—acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) bits in a subframe n, and

a transmitter configured to transmit a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) or an enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH) with downlink control information (DCI) format 0 or 4 corresponding to a physical uplink shared channel on a serving cell, wherein

a number of the HARQ-ACK bits is determined based on a value of W UL DAI , W UL DAI being a variable that is determined using a value of a downlink assignment index (DAI) which is notified while being included in an uplink grant,

in a case that the user equipment is configured with more than one serving cell, frame structure types of at least two configured serving cells included in the more than one serving cell are different, and a primary cell is frame structure type 2,

for the serving cell with frame structure type other than the frame structure type 2, the value of the W UL DAI is determined by the DAI in a subframe n−4,

for the serving cell with the frame structure type 2, the value of the W UL DAI is determined by the DAI in a subframe n−k′, the k′ being defined on the basis of the n and an uplink-reference uplink/downlink configuration for the serving cell with the frame structure type 2,

the DAI is in the DCI format 0 or 4, and

the frame structure type 2 is applicable to a time division duplex.

4. A communication method of a base station apparatus, comprising:

receiving hybrid automatic repeat request—acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) bits in a subframe n, and

transmitting a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) or an enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH) with downlink control information (DCI) format 0 or 4 corresponding to a physical uplink shared channel on a serving cell, wherein

a number of the HARQ-ACK bits is determined based on a value of W UL DAI , W UL DAI being a variable that is determined using a value of a downlink assignment index (DAI) which is notified while being included in an uplink grant,

in a case that the user equipment is configured with more than one serving cell, frame structure types of at least two configured serving cells included in the more than one serving cell are different, and a primary cell is frame structure type 2,

for the serving cell with frame structure type other than the frame structure type 2, the value of the W UL DAI is determined by the DAI in a subframe n−4,

for the serving cell with the frame structure type 2, the value of the W UL DAI is determined by the DAI in a subframe n−k′, the k′ being defined on the basis of the n and an uplink-reference uplink/downlink configuration for the serving cell with the frame structure type 2,

the DAI is in the DCI format 0 or 4, and

the frame structure type 2 is applicable to a time division duplex.
