Abstract

A terminal is disclosed including a processor that determines a single resource set among a plurality of resource sets configured based on higher layer signaling and that determines a transmission resource for an uplink control channel from the single resource set based on a field value in downlink control information; and a transmitter that transmits uplink control information by using the uplink control channel, wherein when a higher layer parameter corresponding to a maximum number of uplink control channel resources per resource set is applied to all the plurality of resource sets and when the maximum number exceeds a given value, the maximum number of uplink control channel resources per resource set other than a specific resource set is the given value. In another aspect, a radio communication method is also disclosed.

Claims (23)

1. A terminal comprising:

a processor that determines a single resource set among a plurality of resource sets configured based on higher layer signaling and that determines a transmission resource for an uplink control channel from the single resource set based on a resource indicator field value in downlink control information; and

a transmitter that transmits uplink control information by using the uplink control channel,

wherein when a higher layer parameter corresponding to a maximum number of uplink control channel resources per resource set is applied to all the plurality of resource sets and when the maximum number exceeds a given value, the maximum number of uplink control channel resources per resource set other than a specific resource set is the given value.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein when the higher layer parameter is applied to all the plurality of resource sets and when the maximum number does not exceed the given value, the maximum number of uplink control channel resources per resource set other than the specific resource set is the maximum number.

3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the specific resource set is a resource set for a format to use for transmission of the uplink control information of up to 2 bits.

4. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the specific resource set is a resource set for a format to use for transmission of the uplink control information of up to 2 bits.

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

determining a single resource set among a plurality of resource sets configured based on higher layer signaling and determining a transmission resource for an uplink control channel from the single resource set based on a resource indicator field value in downlink control information; and

transmitting uplink control information by using the uplink control channel,

wherein when a higher layer parameter corresponding to a maximum number of uplink control channel resources per resource set is applied to all the plurality of resource sets and when the maximum number exceeds a given value, the maximum number of uplink control channel resources per resource set other than a specific resource set is the given value.

6. A base station comprising:

a processor that indicates a transmission resource for an uplink control channel from a single resource set by using a resource indicator field value in downlink control information, the single resource set being determined among a plurality of resource sets configured based on higher layer signaling; and

a receiver that receives uplink control information by using the uplink control channel,

wherein when a higher layer parameter corresponding to a maximum number of uplink control channel resources per resource set is applied to all the plurality of resource sets and when the maximum number exceeds a given value, the maximum number of uplink control channel resources per resource set other than a specific resource set is the given value.

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

the terminal comprises:

a processor of the terminal that determines a single resource set among a plurality of resource sets configured based on higher layer signaling and that determines a transmission resource for an uplink control channel from the single resource set based on a resource indicator field value in downlink control information; and

a transmitter that transmits uplink control information by using the uplink control channel, and

the base station comprises:

a processor of the base station that indicates the transmission resource from the single resource set by using the resource indicator field value; and

a receiver that receives the uplink control information by using the uplink control channel,

wherein when a higher layer parameter corresponding to a maximum number of uplink control channel resources per resource set is applied to all the plurality of resource sets and when the maximum number exceeds a given value, the maximum number of uplink control channel resources per resource set other than a specific resource set is the given value.
