Abstract

A user apparatus includes a transmission unit configured to transmit sidelink data based on information for sidelink scheduling received from a base station apparatus; and a reception unit configured to receive feedback information with respect to the sidelink data from a user apparatus that has received the sidelink data, wherein the transmission unit transmits to the base station apparatus, based on a predetermined assumption, first HARQ-ACK information that is based on the feedback information, and second HARQ-ACK information with respect to data received by the reception unit from the base station apparatus.

Claims (30)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiver configured to receive, from a base station, control information specifying a number of slots corresponding to a time difference between

a slot for receiving feedback information received from another terminal, wherein the feedback information is for a data channel transmitted to the another terminal in a communication between terminals, and

a slot for transmitting an uplink control channel including first HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the feedback information; and

a transmitter configured to transmit, to the base station, the uplink control channel including the first HARQ-ACK information, based on the number of slots corresponding to the time difference,

wherein, if a codebook of the first HARQ-ACK information is a semi-static type of codebook, and if there is no scheduling for a data channel to be transmitted to the another terminal in the communication between the terminals, the transmitter feeds back a NACK bit.

2. The terminal as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the transmitter transmits, to the base station, one of the first HARQ-ACK information and second HARQ-ACK information, according to priority.

3. The terminal as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a type of codebook of the first HARQ-ACK information is the same as a type of a codebook of second HARQ-ACK information.

4. A base station comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit, to a terminal, control information specifying a number of slots corresponding to a time difference between

a slot for the terminal to receive feedback information received from another terminal, wherein the feedback information is for a data channel transmitted to the another terminal in a communication between terminals, and

a slot for the terminal to transmit an uplink control channel including first HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the feedback information; and

a receiver configured to receive, from the terminal, the uplink control channel including the first HARQ-ACK information,

wherein, if a codebook of the first HARQ-ACK information is a semi-static type of codebook, and if there is no scheduling for a data channel to be transmitted to the another terminal by the terminal in the communication between the terminals, the receiver receives a NACK bit from the terminal.

5. A communication system comprising: a base station; and a terminal, wherein

the base station includes

a first transmitter of the base station configured to transmit, to the terminal, control information specifying a number of slots corresponding to a time difference between

a slot for the terminal to receive feedback information received from another terminal, wherein the feedback information is for a data channel transmitted to the another terminal in a communication between terminals, and

a slot for the terminal to transmit an uplink control channel including first HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the feedback information, and

a first receiver of the base station configured to receive, from the terminal, the uplink control channel including the first HARQ-ACK information, and

the terminal includes

a second receiver of the terminal configured to receive the control information from the base station, and

a second transmitter of the terminal configured to transmit, to the base station, the uplink control channel including the first HARQ-ACK information, based on the number of slots corresponding to the time difference,

wherein, if a codebook of the first HARQ-ACK information is a semi-static type of codebook, and if there is no scheduling for a data channel to be transmitted to the another terminal in the communication between the terminals, the second transmitter feeds back a NACK bit.

6. A communication method of a terminal, the communication method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, control information specifying a number of slots corresponding to a time difference between

a slot for receiving feedback information received from another terminal, wherein the feedback information is for a data channel transmitted to the another terminal in a communication between terminals, and

a slot for transmitting an uplink control channel including first HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the feedback information; and

transmitting, to the base station, the uplink control channel including the first HARQ-ACK information, based on the number of slots corresponding to the time difference,

wherein, if a codebook of the first HARQ-ACK information is a semi-static type of codebook, and if there is no scheduling for a data channel to be transmitted to the another terminal in the communication between the terminals, the transmitting includes feeding back a NACK bit.
