Abstract

A terminal apparatus including a reception unit that receives first information indicating a first uplink-downlink configuration and receives second information indicating a second uplink-downlink configuration and a transmission unit that performs transmission on a physical uplink shared channel based on an uplink grant only in a subframe indicated as an uplink subframe by the second information, in which in a case where an uplink grant related to semi-persistent scheduling is considered to occur in a subframe specified based on at least a value of an offset and when two-intervals-Semi-Persistent Scheduling for an uplink is validated, the value of the offset is set based on the first uplink-downlink configuration, and when the two-intervals-semi-persistent scheduling for the uplink is not validated, the value of the offset is set to 0. Accordingly, the terminal apparatus can perform transmission of uplink data efficiently.

Claims (38)

1. A terminal apparatus configured to communicate with a base station apparatus, the terminal apparatus comprising:

receiving circuitry that:

receives a system information block type 1 message including first information indicating a first uplink-downlink configuration,

receives a radio resource control (RRC) message specific to the terminal apparatus, the RRC message including second information indicating a second uplink-downlink configuration,

receives, in a common search space of a physical downlink control channel, third information indicating a third uplink-downlink configuration, and

monitors, in a terminal apparatus-specific search space of the physical downlink control channel and the common search space of the physical down link control channel, an uplink grant including fourth information used for indicating an activation of a semi persistent scheduling, the uplink grant being monitored in a subframe indicated as a downlink subframe by the third information; and

transmitting circuitry that performs, based on the uplink grant, a transmission on a physical uplink shared channel in a subframe that is indicated as an uplink subframe by the third information, in a case that the third information is detected, wherein

in a case that two-intervals-Semi-Persistent Scheduling for the transmission on the physical uplink shared channel is enabled, a subframe offset value is set based on a combination of i) the first uplink-downlink configuration included in the system information block type 1 and ii) a position of an initial semi-persistent grant,

in a case that the two-intervals-Semi-Persistent Scheduling for the transmission on the physical uplink shared channel is disabled, the subframe offset value is set to 0, and

the uplink grant is considered by the terminal apparatus to occur in a subframe that is specified based on at least the subframe offset value.

2. A base station apparatus that-is-configured to communicate with a terminal apparatus, the base station apparatus comprising:

transmitting circuitry that:

transmits using a system information block type 1 message including first information indicating a first uplink-downlink configuration,

transmits a radio resource control (RRC) message specific to the terminal apparatus, the RRC message including second information indicating a second uplink-downlink configuration,

transmits, in a common search space of a physical downlink control channel, third information indicating a third uplink-downlink configuration, and

transmits, in a terminal apparatus-specific search space of the physical downlink control channel and the common search space of the physical down link control channel, an uplink grant including fourth information used for indicating an activation of a semi persistent scheduling, the uplink grant being monitored in a subframe indicated as a downlink subframe by the third information; and

receiving circuitry that performs, based on the uplink grant, a reception on a physical uplink shared channel in a subframe that is indicated as an uplink subframe by the third information, in a case that the third information is transmitted, wherein

in a case that two-intervals-Semi-Persistent Scheduling for the transmission on the physical uplink shared channel is enabled, a subframe offset value is set based on a combination of i) the first uplink-downlink configuration included in the system information block type 1 and ii) a position of an initial semi-persistent grant,

in a case that the two-intervals-Semi-Persistent Scheduling for the transmission on the physical uplink shared channel is disabled, the subframe offset value is set to 0, and

the uplink grant is considered to occur in a subframe that is specified based on at least the subframe offset value.

3. A communication method of a terminal apparatus configured to communicate with a base station apparatus, the communication method comprising:

receiving a system information block type 1 message including first information indicating a first uplink-downlink configuration,

receiving a radio resource control (RRC) message specific to the terminal apparatus, the RRC message including second information indicating a second uplink-downlink configuration,

receiving, in a common search space of a physical downlink control channel, third information indicating a third uplink-downlink configuration,

monitoring, in a terminal apparatus-specific search space of the physical downlink control channel and the common search space of the physical down link control channel, an uplink grant including fourth information used for indicating an activation of a semi persistent scheduling, the uplink grant being monitored in a subframe indicated as a downlink subframe by the third information, and

performing, based on the uplink grant, a transmission on a physical uplink shared channel in a subframe that is indicated as an uplink subframe by the third information, in a case that the third information is detected, wherein

in a case that two-intervals-Semi-Persistent Scheduling for the transmission on the physical uplink shared channel is enabled, a subframe offset value is set based on a combination of i) the first uplink-downlink configuration included in the system information block type 1 and ii) a position of an initial semi-persistent grant,

in a case that the two-intervals-Semi-Persistent Scheduling for the transmission on the physical uplink shared channel is disabled, the subframe offset value is set to 0, and

the uplink grant is considered by the terminal apparatus to occur in a subframe that is specified based on at least the subframe offset value.

4. A communication method of a base station apparatus configured to communicate with a terminal apparatus, the communication method comprising:

transmitting a system information block type 1 message including first information indicating a first uplink-downlink configuration,

transmitting a radio resource control (RRC) message specific to the terminal apparatus, the RRC message including second information indicating a second uplink-downlink configuration,

transmitting, in a common search space of a physical downlink control channel third information indicating a third uplink-downlink configuration; and

transmitting, in a terminal apparatus-specific search space of the physical downlink control channel and the common search space of the physical down link control channel, an uplink grant including fourth information used for indicating an activation of a semi persistent scheduling, the uplink grant being monitored in a subframe indicated as a downlink subframe by the third information, and

performing, based on the uplink grant, a reception on a physical uplink shared channel in a subframe that is indicated as an uplink subframe by the third information, in a case that the third information is transmitted, wherein

in a case that two-intervals-Semi-Persistent Scheduling for the transmission on the physical uplink shared channel is enabled, a subframe offset value is set based on a combination of i) the first uplink-downlink configuration included in the system information block type 1 and ii) a position of an initial semi-persistent grant,

in a case that the two-intervals-Semi-Persistent Scheduling for the transmission on the physical uplink shared channel is disabled, the subframe offset value is set to 0, and

the uplink grant is considered to occur in a subframe that is specified based on at least the subframe offset value.
