Abstract

In a communication system in which a base station apparatus and a terminal apparatus communicate with each other, a base station apparatus, a terminal apparatus, and a communication system with which the base station apparatus and the terminal apparatus can efficiently communicate with each other are provided. The terminal apparatus that communicates with the base station apparatus includes a radio resource control section 6011 that sets a first uplink power control-related parameter configuration and a second uplink power control-related parameter configuration in accordance with information included in a radio resource control (RRC) signal, a reception unit 605 that determines a type of downlink control information (DCI) format, a transmission power control section 6015 that sets uplink transmission power on the basis of the first uplink power control-related parameter configuration or the second uplink power control-related parameter configuration, and a transmission unit 607 that transmits an uplink signal with the set uplink transmission power.

Claims (22)

1. A terminal configured to communicate with a base station, the terminal comprising:

receiving circuitry configured to receive, by a higher layer signal, configuration information and a downlink control information format, the configuration information relating to a first configuration for a first base station apparatus and a second configuration for a second base station apparatus; and

transmitting circuitry configured to transmit an SRS (sounding reference signal) based on an SRS request included in the downlink control information format; wherein

the transmitting circuitry is configured to, based on control information included in the downlink control information format, determine which of the first configuration and the second configuration is to be used to transmit the SRS.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 ,

wherein the transmitting circuitry is configured to transmit a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in a case that the second configuration is configured based on the configuration information.

3. A base station configured to communicate with a terminal, the base station comprising:

transmitting circuitry configured to transmit, by a higher layer signal, configuration information and a downlink control information format, the configuration information relating to a first configuration for a first base station apparatus and a second configuration for a second base station apparatus; and

receiving circuitry configured to receive an SRS (sounding reference signal) transmitted by the terminal based on an SRS request included in the downlink control information format, wherein

the downlink control information format includes control information to be used for the terminal to determine which of the first configuration and second configuration is to be used to transmit the SRS.

4. The base station according to claim 3 ,

wherein the receiving circuitry is configured to receive a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in a case that the second configuration is configured based on the configuration information.

5. A communication method for a terminal configured to communicate with a base station, the communication method comprising:

receiving, by a higher layer signal, configuration information and a downlink control information format, the configuration information relating to a first configuration for a first base station apparatus and a second configuration for a second base station apparatus; and

transmitting an SRS (sounding reference signal) based on an SRS request included in the downlink control information format, wherein

transmitting the SRS comprises determining, based on control information included in the downlink control information format, which of the first configuration and second configuration is to be used to transmit the SRS.

6. The communication method according to claim 5 , wherein transmitting the SRS comprises transmitting a PUCCH (physical uplink control channel) in a case that the second configuration is configured based on the configuration information.

7. A communication method for a base station configured to communicate with a terminal, the communication method comprising:

transmitting, by a higher layer signal, configuration information and a downlink control information format, the configuration information relating to a first configuration for a first base station apparatus and a second configuration for a second base station apparatus; and

receiving an SRS (sounding reference signal) transmitted by the terminal based on an SRS request included in the downlink control information format,

wherein the downlink control information format includes control information to be used for the terminal to determine which of the first configuration and second configuration is to be used to transmit the SRS.

8. The communication method according to claim 7 , wherein receiving the SRS comprises receiving a PUCCH (physical uplink control channel) in a case that the second configuration is configured based on the configuration information.
