Abstract

The present invention is designed so that DL controls channels are monitored adequately even when the unit of scheduling in the time direction is subject to control. According to the present invention, a user terminal monitors a downlink (DL) control channel and receives downlink control information (DCI), and this user terminal has a receiving section that receives time interval information, which shows a time interval for monitoring the DL control channel, and a control section that controls monitoring of the DL control channel based on the time interval information.

Claims (37)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives time interval information that indicates a time interval for monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and downlink control information, formatted in a downlink control information format, that includes blank resource information that indicates a blank resource; and

a processor that controls rate matching of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) based on the time interval information, the downlink control information format, and the blank resource information in the downlink control information,

wherein the blank resource is a resource for the PDCCH,

wherein a time interval in which the PDCCH is transmitted is different from the time interval in which the PDCCH is monitored, and

the processor assumes that the PDSCH is not mapped to the blank resource.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the receiver receives the time interval information by higher layer signaling.

3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the receiver receives an information element including:

the time interval information that indicates the time interval; and

a number of resources to monitor corresponding to one or more aggregation levels for the downlink control information format.

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

receiving time interval information that indicates a time for monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and downlink control information, formatted in a downlink control information format, that includes blank resource information that indicates a blank resource; and

controlling rate matching of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) based on the time interval information, the format of the downlink control information, and the blank resource information in the downlink control information,

wherein the blank resource is a resource for the PDCCH,

wherein a time interval in which the PDCCH is transmitted is different from the time interval in which the PDCCH is monitored, and

the terminal assumes that the PDSCH is not mapped to the blank resource.

5. A radio base station comprising:

a transmitter that transmits time interval information that indicates a time interval for monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and downlink control information, formatted in a downlink control information format, that includes blank resource information that indicates a blank resource,

wherein the transmitter transmits a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) to be rate matched based on the time interval information, the format of the downlink control information, and the blank resource information in the downlink control information; and

a processor that controls such that the PDSCH is not mapped to the blank resource,

wherein the blank resource is a resource for the PDCCH, and

wherein a time interval in which the PDCCH is transmitted is different from the time interval in which the PDCCH is monitored.

6. A radio communication system comprising:

a radio base station; and

a terminal, wherein

the radio base station comprises:

a transmitter that transmits time interval information that indicates a time interval for monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and downlink control information, formatted in a downlink control information format, that includes blank resource information that indicates a blank resource,

wherein the transmitter transmits a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) to be rate matched based on the time interval information, the format of the downlink control information, and the blank resource information in the downlink control information; and

a processor that controls such that the PDSCH is not mapped to the blank resource; and

the terminal comprises:

a receiver that receives the time interval information and the downlink control information, formatted in the downlink control information format, that includes the blank resource information; and

a processor that controls rate matching of the PDSCH based on the time interval information, the format of the downlink control information, and the blank resource information in the downlink control information and that assumes that the PDSCH is not mapped to the blank resource,

wherein the blank resource is a resource for the PDCCH, and

wherein a time interval in which the PDCCH is transmitted is different from the time interval in which the PDCCH is monitored.

7. The radio communication system according to claim 6 , wherein the receiver receives an information element including:

the time interval information that indicates the time interval; and

a number of resources to monitor corresponding to one or more aggregation levels for the downlink control information format.
