Abstract

According to the present invention, transmission is efficiently and repeatedly performed within a slot. The number of repetitions in the slot is calculated using OFDM symbol allocation in a slot notified using a predetermined field during RRC signaling or DCI formatting and the number of divisions in the slot notified by the RRC signaling (or the number of OFDM symbols serving as repetition unit). When the calculated number of repetitions does not satisfy a predetermined condition, repeated transmission is not performed.

Claims (14)

1. A terminal device for performing communication with a base station device, the terminal device comprising:

one or more processors; and

at least one memory coupled to the one or more processors, the at least one memory storing one or more computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the terminal device to:

receive, via Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling or Downlink Control Information (DCI), first information related to an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol allocation for a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), second information related to repetitions of the PUSCH, and third information related to frequency hopping of the PUSCH;

perform one or more of the repetitions of the PUSCH, each of the one or more of the repetitions of the PUSCH having a first duration determined based on at least one of the first information and the second information; and

perform the frequency hopping of the PUSCH at a start of each of the one or more of the repetitions of the PUSCH based on the third information.

2. The terminal device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more of the repetitions of the PUSCH are performed by using a number of remaining OFDM symbols available for the one or more of the repetitions of the PUSCH when a second duration of the number of remaining OFDM symbols is shorter than the first duration.

3. The terminal device of claim 1 , wherein a number of the one or more of the repetitions of the PUSCH within a slot is determined based on the second information.

4. A wireless communication method performed by a terminal device, the wireless communication method comprising:

receiving, via Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling or Downlink Control Information (DCI), first information related to an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol allocation for a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), second information related to repetitions of the PUSCH, and third information related to frequency hopping of the PUSCH;

performing one or more of the repetitions of the PUSCH, each of the one or more of the repetitions of the PUSCH having a first duration determined based on at least one of the first information and the second information; and

performing the frequency hopping of the PUSCH at a start of each of the one or more of the repetitions of the PUSCH based on the third information.

5. The wireless communication method of claim 4 , wherein the one or more of the repetitions of the PUSCH are performed by using a number of remaining OFDM symbols available for the one or more of the repetitions of the PUSCH when a second duration of the number of remaining OFDM symbols is shorter than the first duration.

6. The wireless communication method of claim 4 , wherein a number of the one or more of the repetitions of the PUSCH within a slot is determined based on the second information.
