Abstract

A terminal is disclosed including a receiver that receives a first information regarding a first number of slots for use in transmission of an uplink control channel, and a second information regarding a second number of slots for use in transmission of an uplink shared channel; and a processor that controls so as not to perform the transmission of the uplink shared channel in at least one slot in which overlapping occurs, when both the first number of slots for use in transmission of the uplink control channel and the second number of slots for use in transmission of the uplink shared channel are two or more, and if the transmission of the uplink shared channel and the transmission of the uplink control channel overlap in the at least one slot. In other aspects, a radio communication method and a base station are also disclosed.

Claims (33)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives a first information regarding a first number of slots for use in transmission of an uplink control channel, and a second information regarding a second number of slots, to which a same value as the first number of slots can be configured, for use in transmission of an uplink shared channel; and

a processor that controls so as not to perform the transmission of the uplink shared channel in at least one slot in which overlapping occurs, when both the first number of slots for use in transmission of the uplink control channel and the second number of slots for use in transmission of the uplink shared channel are two or more, and if the transmission of the uplink shared channel and the transmission of the uplink control channel overlap in the at least one slot,

wherein the first number of slots for use in transmission of the uplink control channel and the second number of slots for use in transmission of the uplink shared channel are separately configured by higher layer signaling,

wherein the processor controls to transmit the uplink shared channel in a plurality of consecutive slots for transmitting the uplink shared channel configured based on information regarding a slot configuration that indicates whether a slot out of the plurality of consecutive slots is a slot in which downlink transmission can be performed or a slot in which uplink transmission can be performed, when all slots included in the plurality of consecutive slots are slots in which uplink transmission can be performed and determines the first number of slots for use in the transmission of the uplink control channel based on the information regarding the slot configuration,

wherein a same start symbol and a same number of symbols are used in each slot of the consecutive slots, and

wherein the information regarding the slot configuration is configured by cell-specific higher layer signaling.

2. A radio communication method comprising:

receiving a first information regarding a first number of slots for use in transmission of an uplink control channel, and a second information regarding a second number of slots, to which a same value as the first number of slots can be configured, for use in transmission of an uplink shared channel;

controlling so as not to perform the transmission of the uplink shared channel in at least one slot in which overlapping occurs, when both the first number of slots for use in transmission of the uplink control channel and the second number of slots for use in transmission of the uplink shared channel are two or more, and if the transmission of the uplink shared channel and the transmission of the uplink control channel overlap in the at least one slot;

controlling to transmit the uplink shared channel in a plurality of consecutive slots for transmitting the uplink shared channel configured based on information regarding a slot configuration that indicates whether a slot out of the plurality of consecutive slots is a slot in which downlink transmission can be performed or a slot in which uplink transmission can be performed, when all slots included in the plurality of consecutive slots are slots in which uplink transmission can be performed; and

determining the first number of slots for use in the transmission of the uplink control channel based on the information regarding the slot configuration,

wherein the first number of slots for use in transmission of the uplink control channel and the second number of slots for use in transmission of the uplink shared channel are separately configured by higher layer signaling,

wherein a same start symbol and a same number of symbols are used in each slot of the consecutive slots, and

wherein the information regarding the slot configuration is configured by cell-specific higher layer signaling.

3. A base station comprising:

a transmitter that transmits a first information regarding a first number of slots for use in transmission of an uplink control channel by a terminal, and a second information regarding a second number of slots, to which a same value as the first number of slots can be configured, for use in transmission of an uplink shared channel by the terminal; and

a processor that determines that the uplink shared channel is not transmitted in at least one slot in which overlapping occurs, when both the first number of slots for use in transmission of the uplink control channel and the second number of slots for use in transmission of the uplink shared channel are two or more, and if the transmission of the uplink shared channel and the transmission of the uplink control channel overlap in the at least one slot,

wherein the first number of slots for use in transmission of the uplink control channel and the second number of slots for use in transmission of the uplink shared channel are separately configured by higher layer signaling,

wherein the transmitter notifies that all slots included in a plurality of consecutive slots are slots, in which uplink transmission can be performed, for transmitting the uplink shared channel by transmitting information regarding a slot configuration that indicates whether a slot out of the plurality of consecutive slots is a slot in which downlink transmission can be performed or a slot in which uplink transmission can be performed,

wherein the first number of slots for use in the transmission of the uplink control channel is determined based on the information regarding the slot configuration,

wherein a same start symbol and a same number of symbols are used in each slot of the consecutive slots, and

wherein the information regarding the slot configuration is configured by cell-specific higher layer signaling.

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

the terminal comprises:

a receiver that receives a first information regarding a first number of slots for use in transmission of an uplink control channel, and a second information regarding a second number of slots, to which a same value as the first number of slots can be configured, for use in transmission of an uplink shared channel; and

a processor that controls so as not to perform the transmission of the uplink shared channel in at least one slot in which overlapping occurs, when both the first number of slots for use in transmission of the uplink control channel and the second number of slots for use in transmission of the uplink shared channel are two or more, and if the transmission of the uplink shared channel and the transmission of the uplink control channel overlap in the at least one slot,

wherein the processor controls to transmit the uplink shared channel in a plurality of consecutive slots for transmitting the uplink shared channel configured based on information regarding a slot configuration that indicates whether a slot out of the plurality of consecutive slots is a slot in which downlink transmission can be performed or a slot in which uplink transmission can be performed, when all slots included in the plurality of consecutive slots are slots in which uplink transmission can be performed and determines the first number of slots for use in the transmission of the uplink control channel based on the information regarding the slot configuration, and

wherein a same start symbol and a same number of symbols are used in each slot of the consecutive slots, and

the base station comprises:

a transmitter that transmits the first information and the second information, and

wherein the first number of slots for use in transmission of the uplink control channel and the second number of slots for use in transmission of the uplink shared channel are separately configured by higher layer signaling, and

wherein the information regarding the slot configuration is configured by cell-specific higher layer signaling.
