Abstract

The present invention is designed to provide a user terminal and a radio communication method, whereby the period to apply contention-based UL data transmission can be configured adequately. A user terminal according to the present invention has a transmission section that transmits UL data to a radio base station, and a control section that controls application of contention-based UL data transmission in which UL data is transmitted without a UL grant from the radio base station, and the control section controls whether or not to apply the contention-based UL data transmission based on a running state of a timing advance (TA) timer.

Claims (24)

1. A terminal comprising:

a transmitter that transmits at least one of a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) that is scheduled dynamically and a second PUSCH that is configured semi-statically according to higher layer signaling; and

a processor that, when a time alignment timer associated with a cell is not running, controls not to transmit the first PUSCH and the second PUSCH in the cell,

wherein when the time alignment timer is not running, the processor controls to transmit a random access preamble, and the processor starts or restarts the time alignment timer based on a timing advance command included in a random access response that is transmitted in response to the random access preamble, and

wherein the processor controls to transmit the second PUSCH in accordance with a path loss factor that is notified by higher layer signaling while the time alignment timer starts or restarts.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the processor restricts uplink transmission to a random access preamble when the time alignment timer is not running.

3. A radio communication method comprising:

controlling transmission of at least one of a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) that is scheduled dynamically and a second PUSCH that is configured semi-statically according to higher layer signaling; and

when a time alignment timer associated with a cell is not running, controlling not to transmit the first PUSCH and the second PUSCH in the cell,

when the time alignment timer is not running, controlling transmission of a random access preamble, and starting or restarting the time alignment timer based on a timing advance command included in a random access response that is transmitted in response to the random access preamble, and

controlling transmission of the second PUSCH in accordance with a path loss factor that is notified by higher layer signaling while the time alignment timer starts or restarts.

4. A base station comprising:

a receiver that receives at least one of a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) that is scheduled dynamically and a second PUSCH that is configured semi-statically according to higher layer signaling; and

a processor that, when a time alignment timer associated with a cell is not running, controls not to receive the first PUSCH and the second PUSCH in the cell,

wherein when the time alignment timer is not running, the processor controls to receive a random access preamble from a terminal, and the time alignment timer is started or restarted by the terminal based on a timing advance command included in a random access response that is transmitted by the base station in response to the random access preamble, and

wherein the processor controls to receive the second PUSCH in accordance with a path loss factor that is notified by higher layer signaling while the time alignment timer starts or restarts.

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

the terminal comprises:

a transmitter that transmits at least one of a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) that is scheduled dynamically and a second PUSCH that is configured semi-statically according to higher layer signaling; and

a processor that, when a time alignment timer associated with a cell is not running, controls not to transmit the first PUSCH and the second PUSCH in the cell,

wherein when the time alignment timer is not running, the processor controls to transmit a random access preamble, and the processor starts or restarts the time alignment timer based on a timing advance command included in a random access response that is transmitted in response to the random access preamble, and

wherein the processor controls to receive the second PUSCH in accordance with a path loss factor that is notified by higher layer signaling while the time alignment timer starts or restarts; and

the base station comprises:

a receiver that receives the first PUSCH and the second PUSCH.
