Abstract

A terminal includes a receiving unit that receives a transport block, and that receives, at a first timing at which a portion of the whole transport block is received, control information on another portion of the transport block to be received at a second timing after the first timing; and a transmitting unit that transmits feedback information on reception of the control information while the receiving unit receives the transport block.

Claims (16)

1 . A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives a transport block according to a control information, and that receives, at a first timing at which a portion of the whole transport block is received, additional control information that updates the control information for another portion of the transport block to be received at a second timing after the first timing; and

a transmitter that transmits feedback information on reception of the control information while the receiver receives the transport block,

wherein the receiver is configured to perform processing of data reception and processing of control information reception in parallel, and the transmitter reports, to a base station, capability information of performing the processing of data reception and the processing of control information reception in parallel,

wherein the transmitter further transmits data reception feedback information on reception of the portion of the whole transport block, and

wherein the additional control information includes at least one transmission parameter updated based on the data reception feedback.

2 . The terminal of claim 1 ,

wherein the receiver receives a plurality of items of control information during the reception of the transport block, and

wherein the plurality of items of control information is discontinuously allocated in the transport block in a direction of time.

3 . The terminal of claim 1 , wherein a first carrier on which the receiver receives the transport block differs from a second carrier on which the receiver receives the control information.

4 . A base station comprising:

a transmitter that transmits a transport block according to a control information, and that transmits, at a first timing at which a portion of the whole transport block is transmitted, additional control information that updates the control information for another portion of the transport block to be transmitted at a second timing after the first timing, and

a receiver that receives, while the transmitter transmits the transport block, feedback information on reception of the control information,

wherein the transmitter is configured to perform processing of data transmission to a terminal and processing of control information transmission to the terminal in parallel, and the receiver receives, from the terminal, a report about capability information of performing processing of data reception and processing of control information reception in parallel,

wherein the receiver further receives data reception feedback information on reception of the portion of the whole transport block, and

wherein the additional control information includes at least one transmission parameter updated based on the data reception feedback.
