Uplink communication is efficiently performed in non-allocated frequencies. The terminal apparatus includes: a reception unit configured to receive downlink control information on a PDCCH; and a transmission unit configured to transmit a random access preamble. For a first frame structure type, the downlink control information is used to configure a subframe number of a first uplink subframe in which transmission of the random access preamble is allowed. For a second frame structure type, the downlink control information is used to configure a subframe number of a second uplink subframe in which transmission of the random access preamble is allowed and a symbol number of an uplink symbol in the second uplink subframe.

Terminal apparatus, base station apparatus, and communication method

A terminal device (UE) includes a reception unit configured to monitor an enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH) on a Serving cell with frame structure type 3. In a case that the terminal device detects downlink control information (DCI) in a subframe, the terminal device assumes a configuration of OFDM symbols according to a field in the DCI in the subframe. The OFDM symbols are used for downlink transmission. A demodulation reference signal (DMRS) associated with the EPDCCH is mapped in the subframe according to the configuration of the OFDM symbols.

Terminal device, base station device, and communication method

A cell using an allocated frequency band, a non-allocated frequency band, or a shared frequency band is controlled efficiently. A higher layer processing unit configured to configure a first configuration for monitoring an Enhanced Physical Downlink Control CHannel (EPDCCH) and a second configuration for measuring a Discovery Signal (DS); a reception processing unit configured to monitor a candidate of the EPDCCH, based on the first configuration; and a detection unit configured to detect the DS in a prescribed subframe to be determined, based on the second configuration are provided. In a case that simultaneous transmissions on the EPDCCH and the DS occur in a Licensed Assisted Access (LAA) cell, the EPDCCH is mapped onto a resource element different from a resource element corresponding to the DS in the prescribed subframe.

When a terminal device receives a MAC CE indicating activation of a second cell in subframe n and an action of monitoring a PDCCH for a first cell is not applied in subframe n+8, an action related to CSI reporting for the second cell on a PUCCH is applied in a subframe that is no earlier than subframe n+8 and in which an action of monitoring the PDCCH for the first cell is applied. When the terminal device receives the MAC CE indicating activation of the second cell in subframe n, the action related to the CSI reporting for the second cell on the PUCCH is applied in subframe n+8, irrespective of whether the action of monitoring the PDCCH for the first cell is applied in subframe n+8.

Terminal device, integrated circuit, and communication method

Provided is a transmission unit that, if transmission of a PUCCH of a first CG overlaps transmission of a PUSCH and/or a PUCCH of a second CG in a certain subframe and UCI including HARQ-ACK is transmitted on the PUCCH of the first CG, upon transmit power of the PUCCH of the first CG exceeding a first upper limit value, performs scaling on the transmit power of the PUCCH of the first CG such that the transmit power of the PUCCH does not exceed the first upper limit value, and upon the transmit power of the PUCCH of the first CG not exceeding the first upper limit value, sets the transmit power of the PUCCH of the first CG to power required for the PUCCH of the first CG.

Terminal device, base station device, and method

A terminal communicating with a base station by using an FDD cell and a TDD cell includes a reception unit that performs reception over a PDCCH transmitted using a DCI format. In a case where the TDD cell is configured as a primary cell for the terminal, a first uplink reference UL-DL configuration used for determining an interval between reception of the PDCCH indicating transmission of a PUSCH and the transmission of the PUSCH is configured for the TDD cell, and a second uplink reference UL-DL configuration used for determining whether or not to use DAI included in the DCI format of the PDCCH indicating the transmission of the PUSCH is configured for the FDD cell.

Terminal, base station, and communication method

To efficiently control a cell using an allocated frequency band, a non-allocated frequency band, or a shared frequency band. A terminal device for communicating with a base station device includes a reception unit configured to receive higher layer signaling including a DS configuration for a frequency and information indicating whether a partial subframe is configured for a cell corresponding to the frequency. The reception unit is configured to assume that the DS is not to be transmitted in the partial subframe, in a case that the DS configuration includes a CSI-RS configuration and that transmission of the DS overlaps transmission of a PDSCH and/or an EPDCCH in the partial subframe, and to measure a reference signal received power and reference signal reception quality.

Provided is a terminal communicating with a base station, in which in a case where a physical downlink control channel is monitored in a first physical downlink control channel-physical resource block set, the physical downlink control channel is decoded in such a manner that the physical downlink control channel is rate-matched based on a prescribed reference signal, and in which, in a case where the physical downlink control channel is monitored in a second physical downlink control channel-physical resource block set, the physical downlink control channel is decoded in such a manner that the physical downlink control channel is rate-matched based on a reference signal that is set individually for each terminal.

Terminal, base station, communication system, and communication method

A search space of a control channel which is monitored by a terminal is determined based on a first uplink-downlink configuration specific to a base station, a second uplink-downlink configuration specific to a terminal, and one or more EPDCCH subframe configuration, for each subframe. A scrambling sequence parameter which corresponds to the search space of the control channel and is used in scrambling of the control channel is switched. The terminal switches the scrambling sequence parameter, corresponding to the search space and a subframe configuration, and the terminal receives a DMRS and descrambles an EPDCCH by using the switched scrambling sequence parameter.

Terminal, base station, integrated circuit, and communication method

There is provided a terminal device that communicates with a base station apparatus. The device includes: a higher layer processing unit that configures a discovery signal which includes cell-specific reference signals present in DwPTSs of all downlink subframes and all special subframes, a first synchronization signal present in a prescribed subframe, a second synchronization signal present in a first subframe, and one or more non-zero power CSI reference signals during a period of continuous subframes in a predetermined cell; and a reception unit that receives the discovery signal. A subframe offset between the second synchronization signal and the non-zero power CSI reference signal is independently configured for each of the non-zero power CSI reference signals.

Terminal device, base station apparatus and communication method

A cell using an unallocated frequency band or a shared frequency band is efficiently controlled. A terminal device includes a reception unit configured to receive a first downlink physical channel mapped on the basis of a first possible starting position of a downlink transmission and a second downlink physical channel mapped on the basis of a second possible starting position of the downlink transmission. Upon the first possible starting position and the second possible starting position being indicated by a higher layer, the reception unit receives, in a predetermined subframe, either one of the first downlink physical channel or the second downlink physical channel, on a secondary cell having a frame structure type 3.
