Abstract

A terminal includes a reception unit that receives a response associated with retransmission control from another terminal via a first channel, a transmission unit that transmits the response associated with retransmission control to a base station via a second channel, and a control unit that determines a timing of transmitting the second channel based on a predetermined time configured between the first channel and the second channel.

Claims (19)

1 . A terminal, comprising:

a receiver that receives a Physical Sidelink Feedback Channel (PSFCH) including response information related to a first retransmission control from another terminal; and

a transmitter that transmits an uplink channel including response information related to a second retransmission control based on the response information related to the first retransmission control to a base station, wherein

the transmitter does not transmit the uplink channel including the response information related to the second retransmission control until a first time, that depends on subcarrier spacing, elapses from a reception occasion of the PSFCH of direct communication between terminal, and

the first time is shorter than a second time that is time from reception of an uplink (UL) grant until transmission of an uplink shared channel corresponding to the UL grant.

2 . The terminal as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the uplink channel is a physical uplink shared channel or a physical uplink control channel.

3 . A communication method of a terminal, the communication method comprising:

receiving a Physical Sidelink Feedback Channel (PSFCH) including response information related to a first retransmission control from another terminal; and

transmitting an uplink channel including response information related to a second retransmission control based on the response information related to the first retransmission control to a base station, wherein

the transmitting includes not transmitting the uplink channel including the response information related to the second retransmission control until a first time, that depends on subcarrier spacing, elapses from a reception occasion of the PSFCH of direct communication between terminal, and

the first time is shorter than a second time that is time from reception of an uplink (UL) grant until transmission of an uplink shared channel corresponding to the UL grant.

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

the terminal includes:

a receiver that receives a Physical Sidelink Feedback Channel (PSFCH) including response information related to a first retransmission control from another terminal; and

a transmitter that transmits an uplink channel including response information related to a second retransmission control based on the response information related to the first retransmission control to the base station, wherein

the transmitter does not transmit the uplink channel including the response information related to the second retransmission control until a first time, that depends on subcarrier spacing, elapses from a reception occasion of the PSFCH of direct communication between terminal, and

the first time is shorter than a second time that is time from reception of an uplink (UL) grant until transmission of an uplink shared channel corresponding to the UL grant, and

the base station includes

a receiver that receives the uplink channel from the terminal.
