Abstract

To properly transmit uplink control information (UCI) in future radio communication systems, a user terminal of the present invention is provided with a transmitting section that transmits uplink control information (UCI) in at least one of a plurality of slots with different time lengths of UL duration, and a control section that controls transmission of the UCI, where based on an explicit instruction from a radio base station or an implicit determination by the user terminal, the control section controls an uplink (UL) control channel used in transmission of the UCI.

Claims (31)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives downlink control information and a downlink (DL) shared channel scheduled by the downlink control information; and

a processor that controls a transmission of a Hybrid Automatic Repeat request-Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) in response to the DL shared channel, the HARQ-ACK using an uplink (UL) control channel in a slot that is determined by the downlink control information,

wherein reception of the downlink control information and transmission of the HARQ-ACK are allowed within one slot,

subcarrier spacing of the UL control channel is configured by a first higher layer signaling,

unless a particular instruction is given, a downlink (DL) control channel, a DL shared channel and a UL shared channel are each configured with a subcarrier spacing that is the same as the subcarrier spacing of the UL control channel, and

the processor determines an orthogonal cover code of the UL control channel based on the downlink control information and a second higher layer signaling.

2. A radio communication method for a terminal comprising:

receiving downlink control information and a downlink (DL) shared channel scheduled by the downlink control information; and

controlling a transmission of a Hybrid Automatic Repeat request-Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) in response to the DL shared channel, the HARQ-ACK using an uplink (UL) control channel in a slot that is determined by the downlink control information,

wherein reception of the downlink control information and transmission of the HARQ-ACK are allowed within one slot,

subcarrier spacing of the UL control channel is configured by a first higher layer signaling,

unless a particular instruction is given, a downlink (DL) control channel, a DL shared channel and a UL shared channel are each configured with a subcarrier spacing that is the same as the subcarrier spacing of the UL control channel, and

the terminal determines an orthogonal cover code of the UL control channel based on the downlink control information and a second higher layer signaling.

3. A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives downlink control information and a downlink (DL) shared channel scheduled by the downlink control information, and receives information indicating a periodicity by a first higher layer signaling; and

a processor that controls a transmission of a Hybrid Automatic Repeat request-Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) in response to the DL shared channel, and controls a transmission of a channel state information that uses an uplink (UL) control channel in a slot that is determined based on the periodicity,

wherein reception of the downlink control information and transmission of the HARQ-ACK are allowed within one slot,

subcarrier spacing of the UL control channel is configured by a second higher layer signaling,

unless a particular instruction is given, a downlink (DL) control channel, a DL shared channel and a UL shared channel are each configured with a subcarrier spacing that is the same as the subcarrier spacing of the UL control channel, and

the processor determines an orthogonal cover code of the UL control channel based on downlink control information and a third higher layer signaling.

4. A system comprising:

a base station comprising:

a transmitter that transmits downlink control information and a downlink (DL) shared channel scheduled by the downlink control information; and

a terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives the downlink control information and the DL shared channel scheduled by the downlink control information; and

a processor that controls a transmission of a Hybrid Automatic Repeat request-Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) in response to the DL shared channel, the HARQ-ACK using an uplink (UL) control channel in a slot that is determined by the downlink control information,

wherein reception of the downlink control information and transmission of the HARQ-ACK are allowed within one slot,

subcarrier spacing of the UL control channel is configured by a first higher layer signaling,

unless a particular instruction is given, a downlink (DL) control channel, a DL shared channel and a UL shared channel are each configured with a subcarrier spacing that is the same as the subcarrier spacing of the UL control channel, and

the processor determines an orthogonal cover code of the UL control channel based on the downlink control information and a second higher layer signaling.
