User equipments, base stations and methods
A user equipment (UE) is described. The UE includes a higher layer processor configured to acquire a first dedicated radio resource control (RRC) configuration and a second dedicated RRC configuration. The first dedicated RRC configuration specifies a configuration of a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) which indicates a slot format. The second dedicated RRC configuration specifies a configuration of repetition of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). The UE also includes PDCCH receiving circuitry configured to monitor the first PDCCH. The UE further includes PUSCH transmitting circuitry configured to transmit the PUSCH with the repetition. In a case that the first PDCCH indicates that a symbol for the PUSCH in a slot is other than either downlink or uplink, the PUSCH is not transmitted in the slot and the PUSCH in the slot is counted as one of the repetition.
1. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
a higher layer processor configured to acquire a first dedicated radio resource control (RRC) configuration and a second dedicated RRC configuration, the first dedicated RRC configuration specifying a configuration of a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) which indicates a slot format, the second dedicated RRC configuration specifying a configuration of repetition of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH);
PDCCH receiving circuitry configured to monitor the first PDCCH; and
PUSCH transmitting circuitry configured to transmit the PUSCH with the repetition; wherein
in a case that the first PDCCH indicates that a symbol for the PUSCH in a slot is other than either downlink or uplink, the PUSCH is not transmitted in the slot and the PUSCH in the slot is counted as one of the repetition.
2. A base station apparatus comprising:
a higher layer processor configured to send a first dedicated radio resource control (RRC) configuration and a second dedicated RRC configuration, the first dedicated RRC configuration specifying a configuration of a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) which indicates a slot format, the second dedicated RRC configuration specifying a configuration of repetition of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH);
PDCCH transmitting circuitry configured to transmit the first PDCCH; and
PUSCH receiving circuitry configured to receive the PUSCH with the repetition; wherein
in a case that the first PDCCH indicates that a symbol for the PUSCH in a slot is other than either downlink or uplink, the PUSCH is not transmitted in the slot and the PUSCH in the slot is counted as one of the repetition.
3. A method for a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
acquiring a first dedicated radio resource control (RRC) configuration, the first dedicated RRC configuration specifying a configuration of a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) which indicates a slot format;
acquiring a second dedicated RRC configuration, the second dedicated RRC configuration specifying a configuration of repetition of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH);
monitoring the first PDCCH; and
transmitting the PUSCH with the repetition; wherein
in response to the first PDCCH indicating that a symbol for the PUSCH in a slot is other than either downlink or uplink, the PUSCH is not transmitted in the slot and the PUSCH in the slot is counted as one of the repetition.
4. A method for a base station apparatus, the method comprising:
sending a first dedicated radio resource control (RRC) configuration, the first dedicated RRC configuration specifying a configuration of a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) which indicates a slot format;
sending a second dedicated RRC configuration, the second dedicated RRC configuration specifying a configuration of repetition of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH);
transmitting the first PDCCH; and
receiving the PUSCH with the repetition; wherein
in response to the first PDCCH indicating that a symbol for the PUSCH in a slot is other than either downlink or uplink, the PUSCH is not transmitted in the slot and the PUSCH in the slot is counted as one of the repetition.
