Abstract

A terminal according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: a reception section that receives downlink control information (DCI) including a priority indicator field for scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH); and a control section that controls transmission of hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information for the PDSCH on the basis of the DCI, in which the DCI includes a field for at least one of one-shot HARQ-ACK feedback for the PDSCH or an enhanced dynamic HARQ-ACK codebook for the PDSCH. According to one aspect of the present disclosure, radio communication in an NR-Unlicensed (U) system can be appropriately controlled.

Claims (25)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), the DCI including a One-shot Hybrid Automatic Repeat request ACKnowledgement (HARQ-ACK) request field; and

a processor that controls transmission of HARQ-ACK information for the PDSCH based on the One-shot HARQ-ACK request field,

wherein the DCI is a DCI format 1_2, and

wherein a PDSCH group index field, a number of requested PDSCH groups field, and a new feedback indicator field are not supported in the DCI.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the DCI format 1_2 is a DCI format for Ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Communications (URLLC).

3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein when a specific higher layer parameter is configured, the One-shot HARQ-ACK request field has 1 bit, and when the specific higher layer parameter is not configured, the One-shot HARQ-ACK request field is not present.

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

receiving downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), the DCI including a One-shot Hybrid Automatic Repeat request ACKnowledgement (HARQ-ACK) request field; and

controlling transmission of HARQ-ACK information for the PDSCH based on the One-shot HARQ-ACK request field,

wherein the DCI is a DCI format 1_2, and

wherein a PDSCH group index field, a number of requested PDSCH groups field, and a new feedback indicator field are not supported in the DCI.

5. A base station comprising:

a transmitter that transmits downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), the DCI including a One-shot Hybrid Automatic Repeat request ACKnowledgement (HARQ-ACK) request field; and

a processor that indicates transmission of HARQ-ACK information for the PDSCH by using the One-shot HARQ-ACK request field,

wherein the DCI is a DCI format 1_2, and

wherein a PDSCH group index field, a number of requested PDSCH groups field, and a new feedback indicator field are not supported in the DCI.

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

the base station comprises:

a transmitter that transmits downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), the DCI including a One-shot Hybrid Automatic Repeat request ACKnowledgement (HARQ-ACK) request field, and

the terminal comprises:

a receiver that receives the DCI; and

a processor that controls transmission of HARQ-ACK information for the PDSCH based on the One-shot HARQ-ACK request field,

wherein the DCI is a DCI format 1_2, and

wherein a PDSCH group index field, a number of requested PDSCH groups field, and a new feedback indicator field are not supported in the DCI.
