Abstract

A user equipment according to an embodiment comprises a processor and a memory coupled to the processor. The processor is configured to receive a first control information from a base station, the first control information designating a first time region on which a first Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request-Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) to be transmitted, the first HARQ-ACK corresponding to a first data transmitted on a first Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) in which a transmission time interval is shorten than one subframe, the first time region being shorten than one subframe. The processor is configured to attempt to receive a second data transmitted on a second PDSCH in which a transmission time interval is one subframe. The processor is configured to transmit a second HARQ-ACK corresponding to the second data on the first time region.

Claims (23)

1. A user equipment comprising:

a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to

receive a first control information from a base station, the first control information designating a first time region on which a first Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request-Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) to be transmitted, the first HARQ-ACK corresponding to a first data transmitted on a first Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) in which a transmission time interval is shorten than one subframe, the first time region being shorten than one subframe,

attempt to receive a second data transmitted on a second PDSCH in which a transmission time interval is one subframe,

transmit a second HARQ-ACK corresponding to the second data on the first time region,

receive, from the base station, second control information indicating whether bundling of the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK is permitted, and

transmit HARQ-ACK information obtained by bundling the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK on the first time region, when the second control information indicates that the bundling of the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK is permitted.

2. The user equipment according to claim 1 , wherein

the first control information designates a first Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) in which a transmission time interval is shorten than one subframe used to transmit the first HARQ-ACK,

the processor is configured to transmit the second HARQ-ACK via the first PUCCH on the first time region.

3. A method used for a user equipment, comprising:

receiving a first control information from a base station, the first control information designating a first time region on which a first Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request-Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) to be transmitted, the first HARQ-ACK corresponding to a first data transmitted on a first Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) in which a transmission time interval is shorten than one subframe, the first time region being shorten than one subframe;

attempting to receive a second data transmitted on a second PDSCH in which a transmission time interval is one subframe;

transmitting a second HARQ-ACK corresponding to the second data on the first time region;

receiving, from the base station, second control information indicating whether bundling of the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK is permitted; and

transmitting HARQ-ACK information obtained by bundling the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK on the first time region, when the second control information indicates that the bundling of the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK is permitted.

4. An apparatus for controlling a user equipment, comprising:

a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to execute processes of:

receiving a first control information from a base station, the first control information designating a first time region on which a first Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request-Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) to be transmitted, the first HARQ-ACK corresponding to a first data transmitted on a first Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) in which a transmission time interval is shorten than one subframe, the first time region being shorten than one subframe;

attempting to receive a second data transmitted on a second PDSCH in which a transmission time interval is one subframe;

transmitting a second HARQ-ACK corresponding to the second data on the first time region;

receiving, from the base station, second control information indicating whether bundling of the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK is permitted; and

transmitting HARQ-ACK information obtained by bundling the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK on the first time region, when the second control information indicates that the bundling of the first HARQ-ACK and the second HARQ-ACK is permitted.
