Abstract

The present invention is designed so that retransmission control and/or division transmission are executed properly when contention-based UL transmission is used. A transmission section that transmits UL data, and a control section that controls retransmission and/or division transmission of the UL data are provided, and the control section exerts control to perform new UL data transmission before the retransmission and/or initial transmission in the division transmission without UL grant from a radio base station, and the control section controls the retransmission and/or second and subsequent transmissions in the division transmission based on a response signal from the radio base station.

Claims (31)

1. A terminal comprising:

a transmitter that transmits a physical random access channel (PRACH) and UL data; and

a processor that controls retransmission of the UL data,

wherein the processor exerts control to perform new UL data transmission, before the retransmission, without a UL grant from a radio base station, and

the processor controls the retransmission based on a UL grant that is transmitted from the radio base station, and

the processor determines whether or not to transmit the PRACH and the UL data by time-division multiplexing based on a reference signal received power (RSRP) threshold reported by higher layer signaling.

2. A radio communication method for a terminal that communicates with a radio base station, the radio communication method comprising:

transmitting a physical random access channel (PRACH) and UL data, and

controlling retransmission of the UL data,

wherein the terminal performs new UL data transmission, before the retransmission, without a UL grant from a radio base station, and

the terminal controls the retransmission based on a UL grant from the radio base station, and

the terminal determines whether or not to transmit the PRACH and the UL data by time-division multiplexing based on a reference signal received power (RSRP) threshold reported by higher layer signaling.

3. A base station comprising:

a receiver that receives a physical random access channel (PRACH) and UL data; and

a processor that controls a reception of a retransmission of the UL data,

wherein the processor exerts control to receive new UL data, before the retransmission, transmitted without a UL grant, and

the processor controls a reception of the retransmission transmitted based on the UL grant from the base station, and

the processor reports a reference signal received power (RSRP) threshold, by higher layer signaling, related to a determination of whether or not the PRACH and the UL data are transmitted by time-division multiplexing.

4. A system comprising a terminal and a base station, wherein:

the terminal comprises:

a transmitter that transmits a physical random access channel (PRACH) and UL data; and

a first processor that controls retransmission of the UL data,

wherein the first processor exerts control to perform new UL data transmission, before the retransmission, without a UL grant from a radio base station, and

the first processor controls the retransmission based on a UL grant that is transmitted from the radio base station, and

the first processor determines whether or not to transmit the PRACH and the UL data by time-division multiplexing based on a reference signal received power (RSRP) threshold reported by higher layer signaling, and

the base station comprises:

a receiver that receives the PRACH and the UL data; and

a second processor that controls the reception of the retransmission of the UL data,

wherein the second processor exerts control to receive the new UL data, before the retransmission, transmitted without the UL grant, and

the second processor controls the reception of the retransmission transmitted based on the UL grant from the base station, and

the second processor reports the RSRP threshold, by higher layer signaling, related to the determination of whether or not the PRACH and the UL data are transmitted by time-division multiplexing.
