In a base station (), a controller () determines one set from among a plurality of sets, each of which including one or more candidates for a resource for an uplink (UL) control channel during initial access, and determines one candidate from among the one or more candidates for the resource, which is included in the determined set. A transmitter () indicates the determined set to a terminal () by higher layer signaling, and indicates the determined candidate by dynamic signaling. A receiver () receives a UL control signal, using the resource corresponding to the determined candidate in the determined set. In the base station, the association between a value to be indicated by the higher layer signaling and the plurality of sets is configured for each of one or more parameters relating to the initial access.

Base station, terminal, and communication method

A base station () is provided with a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter () transmits a downlink signal in a downlink transmission region, in a time unit that includes the downlink transmission region, an uplink transmission region, and a gap period that is a switching point between the downlink transmission region and the uplink transmission region. The receiver () receives an uplink signal in the uplink transmission region, in the time unit. Furthermore, a delay tolerant signal for which a delay is tolerated more than for the downlink signal and the uplink signal is mapped to within the gap period.

A repetition unit () performs a repetition for mapping a data signal and a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) repeatedly at a symbol level over a plurality of subframes. A signal allocation unit () maps, in the a plurality of subframes, the repeated DMRS to symbols other than symbols corresponding to an SRS resource candidate, which is a candidate for a resource to which a sounding reference signal (SRS) to be used to measure an uplink received signal quality is to be mapped. A transmission unit () transmits an uplink signal (PUSCH) including the DMRS and the data signal over the a plurality of subframes.

Communication apparatus and transmission method for transmitting a demodulation reference signal

A terminal, with which it is possible to improve the efficiency of a random access process. In a terminal, a control unit dynamically determines a parameter pertaining to the transmission of a data part out of a random access signal that includes a preamble part and the data part. A transmission unit notifies the determined parameter to a base station using the random access signal.

Terminal and communication method

In an operation in a license-exempt band (unlicensed band), the present invention contributes to the provision of a mobile station, a base station, a transmission method and a receiving method which suitably transmit and receive a signal. The mobile stationincludes: a transmission unitwhich transmits an uplink signal; and a control unitwhich, when a first number indicating a first resource amount that can be used in the transmission of the uplink signal includes a third number, which is different from a specific second number, as a prime factor, controls the transmission of a signal of a fourth number that does not include the third number as the prime factor by using a second resource.

Mobile station, base station, transmission method and receiving method

Provided is a terminal comprising: a control circuit which, on the basis of the size of information indicating resource allocation relating to uplink control information, controls allocation of an uplink resource with respect to the uplink control information; and a transmit circuit for transmitting the uplink control information in the uplink resource.

This terminal comprises a reception circuit that receives parameters pertaining to a license-exempt band, and a control circuit that determines information included in uplink control information on the basis of the parameters.

In a case where, in a first network, a first pattern, in which each of time division duplex (TDD) time slots is assigned to uplink or downlink Which is a direction of communication between a base station and a terminal, is used and, in a second network that is different from the first network, the first pattern and a second pattern that is different from the first pattern in assignment of the direction of communication to the time slots can be used for communication by TDD between a base station and a terminal, a control apparatus controls, based on that a predetermined condition has been satisfied, a base station belonging to the second network so as to use time slots in which the direction of communication that has been assigned coincides between the first and the second patterns.

Control method, control apparatus, and storage medium

If repetition transmission is applied to a response signal for a downlink data signal and an uplink signal, the uplink signal is repeatedly transmitted using a certain number of consecutive subframes starting with a first subframe, at which the repetition transmission of the uplink signal starts, and the response signal is repeatedly transmitted using at least the certain number of consecutive subframes starting with a second subframe, at which the repetition transmission of the response signal starts. The first subframe is set to be the same as the second subframe.

Terminal, base station, transmission method, and reception method

A user equipment, a base station and respective methods are provided. The user equipment receives a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) config information element (IE) in form of radio resource control (RRC) signaling, the PUSCH config IE being applicable to a particular bandwidth part. The user equipment configures a table which is defined by a PUSCH time domain resource allocation list IE carried in the received PUSCH config IE, the table comprising rows, at least one row comprising a first set of values related to allocated time-domain resources for a plurality of PUSCH transmissions. The user equipment receives downlink control information (DCI) signaling carrying a time-domain resource assignment filed with value m, wherein the value m provides a row index m+1 to the RRC configured table. The user equipment determines allocated time-domain resources for the plurality of PUSCH transmissions based on the index of the slot carrying the received DCI.

User equipment and system performing transmission and reception operations

A communication apparatus performs, during establishment of connection with a base station, synchronization processing for obtaining reference time information of a time synchronization system and establishing time synchronization, sets a time interval for performing the synchronization processing based on an error of an intra-apparatus time held in the communication apparatus with respect to time information represented by the reference time information, and in a non-connected state, based on the time interval, requests the base station to cause the communication apparatus to transition to a connected state at a timing when the synchronization processing should be performed, wherein the synchronization processing is performed at a timing based on the time interval, at which the communication apparatus is operating in the connected state.

Communication apparatus, control method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

A repeater generates repetition signals by repeating uplink signals over a plurality of subframes; controller sets a timing for transmitting the repetition signals, based on information indicating a transmission candidate subframe for a sounding reference signal used for measuring an uplink reception quality; and a transmitter transmits the repetition signals at the set timing.
