Abstract

This mobile station is provided with a control circuit that, on the basis of information relating to a plurality of second time resources including a first time resource set to a first type of mobile station, decides a resource used for repeat transmission to a second type of mobile station, and a reception circuit that receives signals by a resource.

Claims (26)

1. A mobile station, comprising:

control circuitry, which, in operation, determines a resource based on information on a plurality of second time resources including a first time resource configured for a first type mobile station, the resource being used for repetition to a second type mobile station; and

reception circuitry, which, in operation, receives a signal in the resource.

2. The mobile station according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of second time resources include the first time resource configured for each of a plurality of radio frames.

3. The mobile station according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of second time resources include a first unit time period where the first time resource is configured and a second unit time period that follows the first unit time period.

4. The mobile station according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of second time resources include a first unit time period where the first time resource is configured and a second unit time period that is present earlier than the first unit time period.

5. The mobile station according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of second time resources include a plurality of unit time periods associated with an index of at least one synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SSB) among a plurality of SSBs respectively transmitted by different beams.

6. The mobile station according to claim 1 , wherein the second type mobile station includes a threshold number of antennas or less.

7. The mobile station according to claim 1 , wherein the signal is a signal shared with a plurality of mobile stations including the first type mobile station and the second type mobile station.

8. The mobile station according to claim 1 , wherein the signal is at least one of a control signal and/or a data signal whose allocation is indicated by the control signal.

9. The mobile station according to claim 1 , wherein,

the signal includes at least a data signal, and

the plurality of second time resources include a first unit time period where the first time resource is configured and a second unit time period resulting from adding an offset to the first unit time period, the first time resource being a resource where a control signal indicating allocation of the data signal is transmitted.

10. The mobile station according to claim 1 , wherein,

the signal includes a control signal and a data signal whose allocation is indicated by the control signal, and

in the plurality of second time resources, the reception circuitry receives the control signal in at least one time resource and receives the data signal in the at least one time resource or in a time resource after the at least one time resource.

11. The mobile station according to claim 1 , wherein the information on the plurality of second time resources is predefined, preconfigured to the mobile station, or indicated from a base station to the mobile station.

12. A base station, comprising:

control circuitry, which, in operation, determines a resource based on information on a plurality of second time resources including a first time resource configured for a first type mobile station, the resource being used for repetition to a second type mobile station; and

transmission circuitry, which, in operation, transmits a signal in the resource.

13. A reception method, comprising:

determining, by a mobile station, a resource based on information on a plurality of second time resources including a first time resource configured for a first type mobile station, the resource being used for repetition to a second type mobile station; and

receiving, by the mobile station, a signal in the resource.

14. A transmission method, comprising:

determining, by a base station, a resource based on information on a plurality of second time resources including a first time resource configured for a first type mobile station, the resource being used for repetition to a second type mobile station; and

transmitting, by the base station, a signal in the resource.
