Abstract

Claims (35)

1 . A terminal comprising:

a transmitting unit configured to transmit an uplink shared channel to a base station; and

a controlling unit configured to perform determination of control of, when transmission of the uplink shared channel overlaps with transmission of an uplink control channel including a response related to retransmission control of direct communication between terminals,

multiplexing the response with the uplink shared channel, or

performing no transmission of the uplink control channel including the response to the base station,

wherein the determination to multiplex the response with the uplink shared channel or to perform no transmission of the uplink control channel including the response to the base station is based on a priority of the uplink shared channel,

wherein upon detecting that a priority of the uplink shared channel is lower than a priority of the uplink control channel, and that the uplink shared channel does not include uplink control information, the controlling unit multiplexes the response with the uplink shared channel,

wherein upon detecting that a priority of the uplink shared channel is lower than a priority of the uplink control channel, and that the uplink shared channel includes uplink control information, the controlling unit does not multiplex the response with the uplink shared channel,

wherein the response related to retransmission control of direct communication between terminals comprises a sidelink HARQ-ACK, and

wherein in a case where the priority of the uplink shared channel is higher than the priority of the uplink control channel, the controlling unit performs control of no transmission of the uplink control channel including the response to the base station.

2 . The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein:

in a case where a priority of the uplink shared channel is lower than a priority of the uplink control channel, if the uplink shared channel does not include uplink control information, the controlling unit multiplexes the response with the uplink shared channel.

3 . The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the controlling unit does not assume that the uplink control channel including the response overlaps with an uplink shared channel including channel state information (CSI).

4 . A communication method performed by a terminal, the communication method includes:

transmitting an uplink shared channel to a base station; and

performing determination of control of, when transmission of the uplink shared channel overlaps with transmission of an uplink control channel including a response related to retransmission control of direct communication between terminals,

multiplexing the response with the uplink shared channel, or

performing no transmission of the uplink control channel including the response to the base station,

wherein the determination to multiplex the response with the uplink shared channel or to perform no transmission of the uplink control channel including the response to the base station is based on a priority of the uplink shared channel,

wherein upon detecting that a priority of the uplink shared channel is lower than a priority of the uplink control channel, and that the uplink shared channel does not include uplink control information, the response is multiplexed with the uplink shared channel,

wherein upon detecting that a priority of the uplink shared channel is lower than a priority of the uplink control channel, and that the uplink shared channel includes uplink control information, the response is not multiplexed with the uplink shared channel,

wherein the response related to retransmission control of direct communication between terminals comprises a sidelink HARQ-ACK, and

wherein in a case where the priority of the uplink shared channel is higher than the priority of the uplink control channel, performing control of no transmission of the uplink control channel including the response to the base station.

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

the terminal:

transmits an uplink shared channel to a base station, and

performs determination of control of, when transmission of the uplink shared channel overlaps with transmission of an uplink control channel including a response related to retransmission control of direct communication between terminals,

multiplexing the response with the uplink shared channel, or

performing no transmission of the uplink control channel including the response to the base station,

wherein the determination to multiplex the response with the uplink shared channel or to perform no transmission of the uplink control channel including the response to the base station is based on a priority of the uplink shared channel,

wherein upon detecting that a priority of the uplink shared channel is lower than a priority of the uplink control channel, and that the uplink shared channel does not include uplink control information, the terminal multiplexes the response with the uplink shared channel,

wherein upon detecting that a priority of the uplink shared channel is lower than a priority of the uplink control channel, and that the uplink shared channel includes uplink control information, the controlling unit does not multiplex the response with the uplink shared channel, and

wherein the response related to retransmission control of direct communication between terminals comprises a sidelink HARQ-ACK,

wherein in a case where the priority of the uplink shared channel is higher than the priority of the uplink control channel, performing control of no transmission of the uplink control channel including the response to the base station, and

the base station receives the uplink shared channel and the uplink control channel.
