Abstract

A user terminal communicates by using a plurality of cells, including at least a given cell to use a first TTI and a second TTI having a shorter TTI length than the first TTI, and this user terminal has a receiving section that receives, in the given cell, first downlink control information that is transmitted by using the first TTI and/or second downlink control information that is transmitted by using the second TTI, and a control section that controls receipt of a downlink shared channel that is transmitted in another cell and/or transmission of an uplink shared channel, based on the first downlink control information and/or the second downlink control information.

Claims (19)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives at least one of a first downlink control information (DCI) transmitted in a transmission time interval (TTI) of 1 ms length and a second DCI transmitted in a TTI shorter than 1 ms, and

a processor that, when the first DCI is received, performs a control to apply cross-carrier scheduling based on a carrier indicator field (CIF) contained in the first DCI, and, when the second DCI is received, performs a control to not apply cross-carrier scheduling,

wherein the second DCI contains no CIF.

2. A radio communication method for a terminal, the method comprising:

receiving at least one of a first downlink control information (DCI) transmitted in a transmission time interval (TTI) of 1 ms length and a second DCI transmitted in a TTI shorter than 1 ms; and

when the first DCI is received, performing a control to apply cross-carrier scheduling based on a carrier indicator field (CIF) contained in the first DCI, and, when the second DCI is received, performing a control to not apply cross-carrier scheduling,

wherein the second DCI contains no CIF.

3. A base station comprising:

a transmitter that transmits at least one of a first downlink control information (DCI) transmitted in a transmission time interval (TTI) of 1 ms length and a second DCI transmitted in a TTI shorter than 1 ms; and

a processor that performs a control to contain a carrier indicator field (CIF) in the first DCI and a control to not contain a CIF in the second DCI.

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

the terminal comprises:

a receiver that receives at least one of a first downlink control information (DCI) transmitted in a transmission time interval (TTI) of 1 ms length and a second DCI transmitted in a TTI shorter than 1 ms; and

a processor of the terminal that, when the first DCI is received, performs a control to apply cross-carrier scheduling based on a carrier indicator field (CIF) contained in the first DCI, and, when the second DCI is received, performs a control to not apply cross-carrier scheduling,

wherein the second DCI contains no CIF; and

the base station comprises:

a transmitter that transmits at least one of the first DCI and the second DCI; and

a processor of the base station that performs a control to contain a carrier indicator field (CIF) in the first DCI and a control to not contain a CIF in the second DCI.
