Abstract

A user terminal according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes: a transmitting section that transmits uplink control information; and a control section that determines an uplink control channel used for transmitting the uplink control information based on traffic types of each of a first uplink control channel and a second uplink control channel when the first uplink control channel transmitted repeatedly one or more times and the second uplink control channel transmitted repeatedly one or more times overlap in a slot.

Claims (32)

1. A terminal comprising:

a transmitter that transmits an uplink control channel; and

a processor coupled to a non-transitory memory, the non-transitory memory containing executable instructions that, in a case where:

a first uplink control channel transmitted repeatedly per sub-slot unit and a second uplink control channel overlap, and a priority corresponding to the first uplink control channel and a priority corresponding to the second uplink control channel are different,

performs a control to transmit one of the first uplink control channel and the second uplink control channel that has a higher priority, and

performs a control to not transmit another of the first uplink control channel and the second uplink control channel that has a lower priority.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the processor, in a case where:

the first uplink control channel overlaps an uplink shared channel, and the priority corresponding to the first uplink control channel and a priority corresponding to the uplink shared channel are different,

performs a control to transmit one of the first uplink control channel and the uplink shared channel that has a higher priority, and

performs a control to not transmit another of the first uplink control channel and the uplink shared channel that has a lower priority.

3. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein, in a case where the priority corresponding to the first uplink control channel is the same as the priority corresponding to the second uplink control channel, the processor controls a multiplexing of uplink control information (UCI) included in the first uplink control channel and in the second uplink control channel.

4. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein, in a case where the priority corresponding to the first uplink control channel is the same as the priority corresponding to the second uplink control channel, the processor controls a multiplexing of uplink control information (UCI) included in the first uplink control channel and in the second uplink control channel.

5. A radio communication method for a terminal comprising:

in a case where:

a first uplink control channel transmitted repeatedly per sub-slot unit and a second uplink control channel overlap, and a priority corresponding to the first uplink control channel and a priority corresponding to the second uplink control channel are different,

performing a control to transmit one of the first uplink control channel and the second uplink control channel that has a higher priority, and

performing a control to not transmit another of the first uplink control channel and the second uplink control channel that has a lower priority; and

transmitting the one of the first uplink control channel and the second uplink control channel that has the higher priority.

6. A base station comprising:

a receiver that receives an uplink control channel; and

a processor coupled to a non-transitory memory, the non-transitory memory containing executable instructions that, in a case where:

a first uplink control channel transmitted repeatedly per sub-slot unit and a second uplink control channel overlap, and a priority corresponding to the first uplink control channel and a priority corresponding to the second uplink control channel are different,

performs a control to receive one of the first uplink control channel and the second uplink control channel that has a higher priority without receiving another of the first uplink control channel and the second uplink control channel that has a lower priority.

7. A system comprising a terminal and a base station, wherein:

the terminal comprises:

a transmitter that transmits an uplink control channel; and

a processor coupled to a non-transitory memory, the non-transitory memory containing executable instructions, that, in a case where:

a first uplink control channel transmitted repeatedly per sub-slot unit and a second uplink control channel overlap, and a priority corresponding to the first uplink control channel and a priority corresponding to the second uplink control channel are different,

performs a control to transmit one of the first uplink control channel and the second uplink control channel that has a higher priority, and

performs a control to not transmit another of the first uplink control channel and the second uplink control channel that has a lower priority, and

the base station comprises:

a receiver that receives the one of the first uplink control channel and the second uplink control channel.
