Abstract

In order to appropriately control uplink control information even in a case of controlling repetition transmission by use of a plurality of pieces of downlink control information, a user terminal according to the present disclosure includes a receiving section that receives downlink shared channels repeatedly transmitted by use of a plurality of slots, and a control section that, in a case that transmissions of the downlink shared channels transmitted in the respective slots are controlled based on different pieces of downlink control information, controls transmissions of acknowledgment signals for the downlink shared channels repeatedly transmitted, using a resource specified by at least one piece of downlink control information.

Claims (15)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives downlink shared channels repeatedly transmitted by use of a plurality of slots; and

a processor that, in a case that transmissions of the downlink shared channels transmitted in the respective slots are controlled based on a plurality of downlink control information transmitted on different downlink control channel candidates, controls transmissions of acknowledgment signals for the downlink shared channels repeatedly transmitted, using a resource specified by downlink control information transmitted on at least one downlink control channel candidate,

wherein the processor transmits acknowledgment signals, for the downlink shared channels that are repeatedly transmitted, in one slot using a resource specified by certain downlink control information of the downlink control channel candidate, the certain downlink control information being transmitted last in a time direction among the plurality of downlink control information transmitted on the different downlink control channel candidates, controlling the transmissions of the downlink shared channels transmitted in the respective slots.

2. A radio communication method for a terminal comprising:

receiving downlink shared channels repeatedly transmitted by use of a plurality of slots; and

in a case that transmissions of the downlink shared channels transmitted in the respective slots are controlled based on a plurality of downlink control information transmitted on different downlink control channel candidates, controlling transmissions of acknowledgment signals for the downlink shared channels repeatedly transmitted, using a resource specified by downlink control information transmitted on at least one downlink control channel candidate,

wherein acknowledgment signals, for the downlink shared channels that are repeatedly transmitted, are transmitted in one slot using a resource specified by certain downlink control information of the downlink control channel candidate, the certain downlink control information being transmitted last in a time direction among the plurality of downlink control information transmitted on the different downlink control channel candidates, controlling the transmissions of the downlink shared channels transmitted in the respective slots.

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

the terminal comprises:

a receiver that receives downlink shared channels repeatedly transmitted by use of a plurality of slots; and

a processor that, in a case that transmissions of the downlink shared channels transmitted in the respective slots are controlled based on a plurality of downlink control information transmitted on different downlink control channel candidates, controls transmissions of acknowledgment signals for the downlink shared channels repeatedly transmitted, using a resource specified by downlink control information transmitted on at least one downlink control channel candidate,

wherein the processor transmits acknowledgment signals, for the downlink shared channels that are repeatedly transmitted, in one slot using a resource specified by certain downlink control information of the downlink control channel candidate, the certain downlink control information being transmitted last in a time direction among the plurality of downlink control information transmitted on the different downlink control channel candidates, controlling the transmissions of the downlink shared channels transmitted in the respective slots, and

the base station comprises:

a transmitter that repeatedly transmits a downlink shared channel using the plurality of slots.
