Abstract

A user equipment (UE) is described that includes a higher-layer processor configured to configure a shortened transmission timing interval (TTI) for a serving cell. The UE also includes a physical uplink channel transmitter configured to transmit a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) on the serving cell. The UE further includes a shortened physical uplink channel transmitter configured to transmit a shortened physical uplink control channel (SPUCCH) on the serving cell. In a case that a transmission instance of the SPUCCH collides with an uplink subframe where the PUCCH is to be transmitted, the PUCCH is dropped, and the SPUCCH is transmitted.

Claims (20)

1. A terminal apparatus comprising:

a higher-layer processor configured to configure a short transmission timing interval (sTTI) for a first serving cell;

a physical uplink channel transmitter configured to transmit a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) on the first serving cell; and

a short physical uplink channel transmitter configured to transmit a short physical uplink control channel (SPUCCH) on the first serving cell; wherein

in a case of a collision between the PUCCH and the SPUCCH in a subframe, the PUCCH is dropped.

2. A base station apparatus comprising:

a higher-layer processor configured to send information indicating a short transmission timing interval (sTTI) for a first serving cell;

a physical uplink channel receiver configured to receive a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) on the first serving cell; and

a short physical uplink channel receiver configured to receive a short physical uplink control channel (SPUCCH) on the first serving cell; wherein

in a case of a collision between the PUCCH and the SPUCCH in a subframe, the base station apparatus assumes that the PUCCH is dropped.

3. A method for a terminal apparatus, the method comprising:

configuring a short transmission timing interval (sTTI) for a first serving cell;

transmitting a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) on the first serving cell; and

transmitting a short physical uplink control channel (SPUCCH) on the first serving cell; wherein

in a case of a collision between the PUCCH and the SPUCCH in a subframe, the PUCCH is dropped.

4. A method for a base station apparatus, the method comprising:

sending information indicating a short transmission timing interval (sTTI) for a first serving cell;

receiving a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) on the first serving cell; and

receiving a short physical uplink control channel (SPUCCH) on the first serving cell; wherein

in a case of a collision between the PUCCH and the SPUCCH in a subframe, the base station apparatus assumes that the PUCCH is dropped.
