Abstract

Designed to control UL grant-free transmission properly, a user terminal according to one aspect of the present invention has a transmission section that performs UL grant-free transmission in which UL data is transmitted without a UL transmission indication from a radio base station, and a control section that controls change of parameters for use for the UL grant-free transmission, switching of UL grant-free transmission to UL grant-based transmission, and stopping of UL grant-free transmission, based on physical layer signaling.

Claims (30)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiving section that receives information about resources of a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) by higher layer signaling; and

a control section that controls, based on the information and downlink control information (DCI) for updating transmission of the PUSCH in the resources,

wherein when a first field and second field in the downlink control information have a first value, the control section specifies a transmission parameter applied for the PUSCH based on the downlink control information, and when the first field and second field in the downlink control information have the first value and a third field and fourth field in the downlink control information have a second value, the control section exerts a control to deactivate the PUSCH, and

wherein each field in the downlink control information relates to a PUSCH transmission parameter signaled by L1 signaling.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the transmission parameter includes a hopping parameter, resource allocation, and modulation and coding scheme.

3. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the control section exerts a control not to perform transmission of the PUSCH, when a buffer is empty.

4. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the control section exerts a control to repeat transmission of the PUSCH in units of transport blocks.

5. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the control section exerts a control not to perform transmission of the PUSCH, when a buffer is empty.

6. The terminal according to claim 5 , wherein the control section exerts a control to repeat transmission of the PUSCH in units of transport blocks.

7. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the control section exerts a control to repeat transmission of the PUSCH in units of transport blocks.

8. A radio communication method comprising:

receiving information about resources of a PUSCH by higher layer signaling; and

controlling, based on the information and downlink control information (DCI) for updating transmission of the PUSCH in the resources,

wherein when a first field and second field in the downlink control information have a first value, a transmission parameter applied for the PUSCH is specified based on the downlink control information, and when the first field and second field in the downlink control information have the first value and a third field and fourth field in the downlink control information have a second value, the PUSCH is controlled to be deactivated, and

wherein each field in the downlink control information relates to a PUSCH transmission parameter signaled by L1 signaling.

9. A base station comprising:

transmitting section that transmits information about resources of a PUSCH to a terminal by higher layer signaling; and

a receiving section that receives the PUSCH in the resources transmitted by the terminal based on the information and downlink control information (DCI),

wherein when a first field and second field in the downlink control information have a first value, a transmission parameter applied for the PUSCH is specified in the terminal based on the downlink control information, and when the first field and second field in the downlink control information have the first value and a third field and fourth field in the downlink control information have a second value, the PUSCH is deactivated in the terminal, and

wherein each field in the downlink control information relates to a PUSCH transmission parameter signaled by L1 signaling.

10. A system comprising a base station and a terminal,

the base station comprising:

a transmitting section that transmits information about resources of a PUSCH to a terminal by higher layer signaling; and

a receiving section that receives the PUSCH in the resources transmitted by the terminal based on the information and downlink control information (DCI),

the terminal comprising:

a receiving section that receives the information; and

a control section that controls, based on the information and DCI for updating transmission of the PUSCH in the resources,

wherein when a first field and second field in the downlink control information have a first value, the control section specifies a transmission parameter applied for the PUSCH based on the downlink control information, and when the first field and second field in the downlink control information have the first value and a third field and fourth field in the downlink control information have a second value, the control section exerts a control to deactivate the PUSCH, and

wherein each field in the downlink control information relates to a PUSCH transmission parameter signaled by L1 signaling.
