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 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 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.
