Abstract

A terminal is disclosed including a processor that adjusts an uplink transmission timing based on granularity relative to a largest subcarrier spacing among subcarrier spacings of a plurality of uplink bandwidth parts in a same timing advance group and based on a timing advance command; and a transmitter that performs uplink transmission according to the uplink transmission timing. In other aspects, a transmission method performed by a terminal is also disclosed.

Claims (16)

1. A terminal comprising:

a processor that adjusts an uplink transmission timing based on a granularity relative to a largest subcarrier spacing among granularities relevant to subcarrier spacings of a plurality of uplink bandwidth parts in a same timing advance group and based on a timing advance command; and

a transmitter that performs uplink transmission according to the uplink transmission timing,

wherein the granularity relative to the subcarrier spacing of the uplink bandwidth part becomes small as the subcarrier spacing of the uplink bandwidth part becomes large, and

wherein the processor adjusts the uplink transmission timing using a value obtained by multiplying the timing advance command by the granularity relative to the largest subcarrier spacing.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein

the plurality of uplink bandwidth parts are in two uplink carriers of a serving cell.

3. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein

the granularity relative to the largest subcarrier spacing is smaller than a granularity relative to a subcarrier spacing smaller than the largest subcarrier spacing.

4. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein

the granularity relative to the largest subcarrier spacing is smaller than a granularity relative to a subcarrier spacing smaller than the largest subcarrier spacing.

5. A transmission method performed by a terminal, comprising:

adjusting an uplink transmission timing based on a granularity relative to a largest subcarrier spacing among granularities relevant to subcarrier spacings of a plurality of uplink bandwidth parts in a same timing advance group and based on a timing advance command; and

performing uplink transmission according to the uplink transmission timing,

wherein the granularity relative to the subcarrier spacing of the uplink bandwidth part becomes small as the subcarrier spacing of the uplink bandwidth part becomes large, and

wherein the uplink transmission timing is adjusted using a value obtained by multiplying the timing advance command by the granularity relative to the largest subcarrier spacing.
