Abstract

The present invention is designed so that, even when communication is made using a plurality of transmission time intervals (TTIs), scheduling requests are transmitted adequately. According to one aspect of the present invention, a user terminal has a transmitting/receiving section that transmits and/or receives using a plurality of transmission time intervals (TTIs) of different durations, and a control section that determines a resource to use to transmit a scheduling request (SR) based on at least one of a first TTI and a second TTI having a shorter TTI duration than the first TTI.

Claims (24)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives information on Scheduling Request (SR) configuration; and

a transmitter that, when a parameter related to the SR configuration is provided, transmits an SR corresponding to an associated logical channel by using a specific uplink control channel resource corresponding to the SR configuration,

wherein the transmitter applies mutually independent SR counters to respective SR configurations.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein when the parameter related to the SR configuration is provided, the transmitter transmits the SR corresponding to the associated logical channel by prioritizing the specific uplink control channel resource over another uplink control channel resource.

3. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein each of multiple information on the SR configuration independently includes SR periodicity, offset and expiration time of a prohibit timer.

4. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein each of multiple information on the SR configuration independently includes SR periodicity, offset and expiration time of a prohibit timer.

5. A radio communication method for a terminal, comprising:

receiving information on Scheduling Request (SR) configuration; and

when a parameter related to the SR configuration is provided, transmitting an SR corresponding to an associated logical channel by using a specific uplink control channel resource corresponding to the SR configuration,

wherein mutually independent SR counters are applied to respective SR configurations.

6. A base station comprising:

a transmitter that transmits information on Scheduling Request (SR) configuration; and

a receiver that, when a parameter related to the SR configuration is provided, receives an SR corresponding to an associated logical channel by using a specific uplink control channel resource corresponding to the SR configuration,

wherein mutually independent SR counters are applied to respective SR configurations.

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

the terminal comprises:

a first receiver that receives information on Scheduling Request (SR) configuration; and

a first transmitter that, when a parameter related to the SR configuration is provided, transmits an SR corresponding to an associated logical channel by using a specific uplink control channel resource corresponding to the SR configuration,

wherein the first transmitter applies mutually independent SR counters to respective SR configurations, and

the base station comprises:

a second transmitter that transmits the information; and

a second receiver that receives the SR,

wherein the mutually independent SR counters are applied to respective SR configurations.
