Abstract

A user equipment (UE) is described. The UE may comprise high-layer processing circuitry configured to acquire a first RRC parameter and transmission circuitry configured to transmit a PUSCH in multiple slots. If the first RRC parameter is set to a first value, conditions in a slot format procedure may not be used for determination of the multiple slots. If the first RRC parameter is set to a second value, the conditions in the slot format procedure may be used for the determination of the multiple slots.

Claims (38)

1. A user equipment (UE) comprising:

high-layer processing circuitry configured to acquire a first radio resource control (RRC) parameter; and

transmission circuitry configured to transmit a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in multiple slots,

wherein a condition in a slot format procedure is whether or not a slot format indicator field value in a Downlink Control Information format 2_0 indicates a set of symbols of a slot for a transmission of the PUSCH as uplink,

in a case that the first RRC parameter is set to a first value, the condition is not used for determination of the multiple slots, and

in a case that the first RRC parameter is set to a second value, the condition is used for the determination of the multiple slots.

2. The UE of claim 1 , wherein

conditions in a slot configuration procedure are used for the determination of the multiple slots, irrespective of a value of the first RRC parameter.

3. The UE of claim 1 , wherein

in a case that the first RRC parameter is set to the first value, conditions in a cancellation indication procedure are not used for the determination of the multiple slots, and

in a case that the first RRC parameter is set to the second value, the conditions in the cancellation indication procedure are used for the determination of the multiple slots.

4. The UE of claim 1 , wherein

the high-layer processing circuitry is further configured to acquire a second RRC parameter,

conditions in a slot configuration procedure are used for the determination of the multiple slots, irrespective of a value of the second RRC parameter,

in a case that the second RRC parameter is set to the first value, conditions in a cancellation indication procedure are not used for the determination of the multiple slots, and

in a case that the second RRC parameter is set to the second value, the conditions in the cancellation indication procedure are used for the determination of the multiple slots.

5. A base station comprising:

high-layer processing circuitry configured to send a first radio resource control (RRC) parameter; and

reception circuitry configured to receive a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in multiple slots,

wherein a condition in a slot format procedure is whether or not a slot format indicator field value in a Downlink Control Information format 2_0 indicates a set of symbols of a slot for a transmission of the PUSCH as uplink,

in a case that the first RRC parameter is set to a first value, the condition is not used for determination of the multiple slots, and

in a case that the first RRC parameter is set to a second value, the condition is used for the determination of the multiple slots.

6. The base station of claim 5 , wherein

conditions in a slot configuration procedure are used for the determination of the multiple slots, irrespective of a value of the first RRC parameter.

7. The base station of claim 5 , wherein

in a case that the first RRC parameter is set to the first value, conditions in a cancellation indication procedure are not used for the determination of the multiple slots, and

in a case that the first RRC parameter is set to the second value, the conditions in the cancellation indication procedure are used for the determination of the multiple slots.

8. The base station of claim 5 , wherein

the high-layer processing circuitry is further configured to send a second RRC parameter,

conditions in a slot configuration procedure are used for the determination of the multiple slots, irrespective of a value of the second RRC parameter,

in a case that the second RRC parameter is set to the first value, conditions in a cancellation indication procedure are not used for the determination of the multiple slots, and

in a case that the second RRC parameter is set to the second value, the conditions in the cancellation indication procedure are used for the determination of the multiple slots.

9. A method for a user equipment, the method comprising:

acquiring a first radio resource control (RRC) parameter; and

transmitting a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in multiple slots,

wherein a condition in a slot format procedure is whether or not a slot format indicator field value in a Downlink Control Information format 2_0 indicates a set of symbols of a slot for a transmission of the PUSCH as uplink,

in a case that the first RRC parameter is set to a first value, the condition is not used for determination of the multiple slots, and

in a case that the first RRC parameter is set to a second value, the condition is used for the determination of the multiple slots.
