Abstract

A terminal according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a receiving section that receives downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling a downlink shared channel of a multicast; and a control section that controls transmission of Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest ACKnowledgement (HARQ-ACK) with respect to the downlink shared channel based on the DCI, wherein the DCI is common to a plurality of terminals. According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a PDSCH using the multicast can be appropriately received.

Claims (26)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives a configuration for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) corresponding to a multicast physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling the PDSCH, and the PDSCH, wherein the configuration is transmitted using radio resource control (RRC) signaling; and

a processor that determines a PUCCH resource for hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) corresponding to the PDSCH, based on the configuration, a PUCCH resource indicator field included in the DCI, and a control channel element (CCE) index of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) that carries the DCI,

wherein the DCI is common to a plurality of terminals, and

wherein a PUCCH format for the PUCCH resource is a PUCCH format without a demodulation reference signal.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the receiver monitors the DCI in a common search space for multicast.

3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein cyclic redundancy check (CRC) of the DCI is scrambled by a group-common radio network temporary identifier (RNTI).

4. A radio communication method for a terminal, comprising:

receiving a configuration for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) corresponding to a multicast physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling the PDSCH, and the PDSCH, wherein the configuration is transmitted using radio resource control (RRC) signaling; and

determining a PUCCH resource for hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) corresponding to the PDSCH, based on the configuration, a PUCCH resource indicator field included in the DCI, and a control channel element (CCE) index of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) that carries the DCI,

wherein the DCI is common to a plurality of terminals, and

wherein a PUCCH format for the PUCCH resource is a PUCCH format without a demodulation reference signal.

5. A base station comprising:

a transmitter that transmits a configuration for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) corresponding to a multicast physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling the PDSCH, and the PDSCH, wherein the configuration is transmitted using radio resource control (RRC) signaling; and

a processor that indicates a PUCCH resource for hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) corresponding to the PDSCH, by using the configuration, a PUCCH resource indicator field included in the DCI, and a control channel element (CCE) index of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) that carries the DCI,

wherein the DCI is common to a plurality of terminals, and

wherein a PUCCH format for the PUCCH resource is a PUCCH format without a demodulation reference signal.

6. A system comprising a base station and a terminal, wherein

the base station comprises:

a transmitter that transmits a configuration for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) corresponding to a multicast physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling the PDSCH, and the PDSCH, wherein the configuration is transmitted using radio resource control (RRC) signaling; and

a processor that indicates a PUCCH resource for hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) corresponding to the PDSCH, by using the configuration, a PUCCH resource indicator field included in the DCI, and a control channel element (CCE) index of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) that carries the DCI,

wherein a PUCCH format for the PUCCH resource is a PUCCH format without a demodulation reference signal, and

the terminal comprises:

a receiver that receives the configuration, the DCI, and the PDSCH; and

a processor that determines the PUCCH resource based on the configuration, the PUCCH resource indicator field, and the CCE index,

wherein the DCI is common to a plurality of terminals.
