Terminal device, base station device, communication method, and integrated circuit
Uplink data is transmitted efficiently. A terminal device includes: a reception unit configured to receive a parameter included in an RRC message and receive downlink control information, by using a physical downlink control channel; and a higher layer processing unit configured to store an uplink grant as a configured uplink grant. The configured uplink grant is delivered to a HARQ entity in a case that the parameter is configured and a Semi-Persistent Scheduling release is indicated by using the downlink control information, and the configured uplink grant is cleared in a case that the parameter is not configured and the Semi-Persistent Scheduling release is indicated by using the downlink control information.
1. A terminal apparatus comprising:
receiving circuitry that receives, from a base station apparatus, an uplink grant on a physical downlink control channel and a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message including a parameter configuring not to perform an uplink transmission;
higher layer processing circuitry that generates a Medium Access Control Protocol Data Unit (MAC PDU) that includes a Buffer Status Report (BSR); and
transmitting circuitry that transmits the MAC PDU to the base station apparatus based on the uplink grant; wherein
the higher layer processing circuitry determines not to generate the MAC PDU in a case that the parameter is configured, the MAC PDU is to include only a periodic BSR, and there is no available data for an uplink transmission, and
the higher layer processing circuitry determines not to generate the MAC PDU in a case that the parameter is configured and the MAC PDU is to include only a padding BSR.
2. A base station apparatus comprising:
transmitting circuitry that transmits, to a terminal apparatus, an uplink grant on a physical downlink control channel and a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message including a parameter configuring not to perform an uplink transmission;
receiving circuitry that receives, from the terminal apparatus, a Medium Access Control Protocol Data Unit (MAC PDU) that includes a Buffer Status Report (BSR), the MAC PDU being transmitted based on the uplink grant; and
higher layer processing circuitry that determines that the MAC PDU is not generated by the terminal apparatus in a case that the parameter is configured, the MAC PDU is to include only a periodic BSR, and there is no available data for an uplink transmission in the terminal apparatus, wherein
the higher layer processing circuitry determines that the MAC PDU is not generated by the terminal apparatus in a case that the parameter is configured and the MAC PDU is to include only a padding BSR.
3. A communication method of a terminal apparatus comprising:
receiving, from a base station apparatus, an uplink grant on a physical downlink control channel and a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message including a parameter configuring not to perform an uplink transmission;
generating a Medium Access Control Protocol Data Unit (MAC PDU) that includes a Buffer Status Report (BSR);
transmitting the MAC PDU to the base station apparatus based on the uplink grant;
determining not to generate the MAC PDU in a case that the parameter is configured, the MAC PDU is to include only a periodic BSR, and there is no available data for an uplink transmission; and
determining not to generate the MAC PDU in a case that the parameter is configured and the MAC PDU is to include only a padding BSR.
