Terminal device initiates a COT-u at the beginning of an FFP-u after the channel is sensed to be idle and transmit an uplink transmission burst within the COT-u. In a case that the COT-u overlaps with a sensing slot for initiating an FFP-g with the one or more SS/PBCH blocks, the COT-u is terminated before the sensing slot. In a case that the COT-u does not overlap with the sensing slot, the COT-u is terminated after the sensing slot.

Terminal devices, base station devices, and communication methods

A user equipment (UE) is described. The UE may comprise high-layer processing circuit configured to acquire a first RRC parameter, a second RRC parameter, a third RRC parameter, and a fourth RRC parameter, and transmission circuity configured to transmit a PUSCH in multiple slots.

User equipment and method

A user equipment (UE) is described. The UE may comprise receiving circuitry configured to receive a downlink control information (DCI) format including an information field. The information field may indicate a combination of a channel access type, a cyclic prefix (CP) extension index and a channel access priority class (CAPC). The UE may also comprise transmitting circuitry configured to transmit a sounding reference signal (SRS) and a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). The SRS and the PUSCH may be based on the DCI format. There may be a gap between the SRS and the PUSCH. The gap may be longer than 16 microseconds. If the SRS is transmitted earlier than the PUSCH, the channel access type and the CP extension index corresponding to the indicated combination may apply to the SRS, a predetermined channel access type and a predetermined CP extension length may apply to the PUSCH, a predetermined CAPC may apply to the SRS, and the CAPC corresponding to the indicated combination may apply to the PUSCH.

User equipments, base stations, and methods

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.

User equipments, and base stations

A method for a user equipment (UE) which communicates with a base station in a serving cell is described. The method may comprise acquiring first radio resource control (RRC) information and second RRC information. The first RRC information may indicate one or more slot format combinations. The second RRC information may indicate periodic channel state information (CSI) reporting. 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. If the first RRC information is provided and if the first DCI format providing a slot format for a slot is not detected, a transmission of the PUCCH may be performed for a set of symbols of the slot, subject to a channel access procedure.

A terminal apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive a PDCCH including DCI triggering a Type-3 HARQ-ACK codebook, and a transmitter configured to transmit a PUCCH including the Type-3 HARQ-ACK codebook triggered. A slot in which the PUCCH is transmitted is provided based on K1 obtained based on a PDSCH-to-HARQ_feedback timing indicator field included in the DCI. In a case that the DCI schedules a PDSCH, the PUCCH is transmitted the K1 slots after a slot in which the PDSCH is received. In a case that the DCI does not schedule a PDSCH, the PDCCH is transmitted in a slot after slots corresponding to the K1 from a slot in which the PDCCH is received.
