A terminal apparatus includes a reception circuitry configured to receive a DCI format used for scheduling of a PUSCH, and a transmission circuitry configured to transmit the PUSCH in multiple slots. A size of a transport block is given based on a target coding rate indicated by the DCI format. The target coding rate is 1 or greater. An effective coding rate of the PUSCH is 1 or less. The effective coding rate is a value obtained by dividing the size of the transport block by a product of a modulation order of the PUSCH and the number of resource elements of the PUSCH.

Terminal apparatus, base station apparatus, and communication method

Terminal device attempts to initiate a COT-u after the channel is sensed to be idle and transmit a configured grant PUSCH. A start of a time domain resource of the configured grant PUSCH is aligned with the start of the FFP-u. In a case that the FFP-u does not overlap with an IP-g of an FFP-g, the COT-u is initiated and the configured grant PUSCH is transmitted.

Terminal devices and base stations devices

A terminal device receives a DCI format triggering a Type-3 HARQ-ACK codebook; and transmission circuitry configured to transmit the Type-3 HARQ-ACK codebook via a first PUCCH indicated by the DCI format; wherein the first PUCCH is associated with a first priority index; wherein the first priority index is indicated by the DCI format, or is configured by a RRC parameter, or is predetermined.

Terminal devices, base stations, and communication methods

Terminal device initiates a COT-u at the beginning of an FFP-u after the channel is sensed to be idle. In a case that the maximum COT overlaps with an IP-g and the beginning of the IP-g is before the beginning of the IP-u, the uplink transmission is paused before or at the beginning of the IP-g and the uplink transmission is resumed after the channel is sensed to be idle.

The method may also comprise performing a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring if the first RRC information is provided. The first PDCCH monitoring may be monitoring of a first PDCCH with a first downlink control information (DCI) format. The method may further comprise performing the periodic CSI reporting on a physical uplink control channel according to the third RRC information.
