Abstract

A terminal apparatus includes a processing circuitry configured to determine one or multiple first indexes of one or multiple physical resource blocks (PRBs) to which a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) is mapped, and a transmitting circuitry configured to transmit the PUCCH in a bandwidth part (BWP). In a case that the PUCCH is transmitted using an interlace, the one or multiple first indexes are determined based on a resource block (RB) used for the interlace, the number of interlaces, and the number of the one or multiple PRBs from zero to a starting PRB of the BWP in a common resource block (CRB) index.

Claims (18)

1. A terminal apparatus comprising:

reception circuitry configured to receive a higher layer parameter including multiple values of indexes of multiple interlaces assigned to the terminal apparatus;

processing circuitry configured to determine multiple first indexes of multiple physical resource blocks (PRBs) to which a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) is mapped; and

transmitting circuitry configured to transmit the PUCCH in a bandwidth part (BWP), wherein

in a case that the PUCCH is transmitted using the multiple interlaces, the multiple first indexes are determined based on the multiple values of indexes of the multiple interlaces, a number of resource blocks (RBs) used for the multiple interlaces, a number of the multiple interlaces, and a number of the one or multiple PRBs from zero to a starting PRB of the BWP in a common resource block (CRB) index.

2. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

in a case that a subcarrier spacing is a first value, the number of the multiple interlaces is determined to be a number of first interlaces, and in a case that the subcarrier spacing is a second value, the number of the multiple interlaces is determined to be a number of second interlaces.

3. A base station apparatus comprising:

transmission circuitry configured to transmit a higher layer parameter including multiple values of indexes of multiple interlaces assigned to the terminal apparatus; and

receiving circuitry configured to receive a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) in a bandwidth part (BWP) by using multiple first indexes of multiple physical resource blocks (PRBs) to which the PUCCH is mapped, wherein

in a case that the PUCCH is transmitted using the multiple interlaces, the multiple first indexes are determined based on the multiple values of indexes of the multiple interlaces, a number of resource blocks (RBs) used for the multiple interlaces, a number of the multiple interlaces, and a number of the multiple PRBs from zero to a starting PRB of the BWP in a common resource block (CRB) index.

4. The base station apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein

in a case that a subcarrier spacing is a first value, the number of the multiple interlaces is determined to be a number of first interlaces, and in a case that the subcarrier spacing is a second value, the number of the multiple interlaces is determined to be a number of second interlaces.

5. A communication method used for a terminal apparatus, the communication method comprising:

receiving a higher layer parameter including multiple values of indexes of multiple interlaces assigned to the terminal apparatus;

determining multiple first indexes of multiple physical resource blocks (PRBs) to which a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) is mapped; and

transmitting the PUCCH in a bandwidth part (BWP), wherein

in a case that the PUCCH is transmitted using the multiple interlaces, the multiple first indexes are determined based on the multiple values of indexes of the multiple interlaces, a number of resource blocks (RBs) used for the multiple interlaces, a number of the multiple interlaces, and a number of the multiple PRBs from zero to a starting PRB of the BWP in a common resource block (CRB) index.
