That is, the terminal device 1 does not perform transmission on the PUCCH in the non-special secondary cell.

  Here, the PUCCH secondary cell may be defined as a primary cell and a serving cell that is not a secondary cell.

  Here, the base station apparatus 3 may set one or a plurality of serving cells using a higher layer signal. For example, one or more secondary cells may be configured to form a set of multiple serving cells with the primary cell. Here, the serving cell set by the base station device 3 may include a PUCCH secondary cell.

  That is, the PUCCH secondary cell may be set by the base station device 3. For example, the base station apparatus 3 may transmit an upper layer signal including information (index) used for setting a PUCCH secondary cell.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining cell groups in the present embodiment. FIG. 2 shows three examples (Example (a), Example (b), and Example (c)) as examples of setting (configuration and definition) of the PUCCH cell group. Here, in the present embodiment, a group of one or more serving cells is referred to as a PUCCH cell group. The PUCCH cell group may be a group related to transmission on PUCCH (transmission of uplink control information on PUCCH). Here, a certain serving cell belongs to any one PUCCH cell group. Here, as a matter of course, the PUCCH cell group may be set differently from the example shown in FIG.

  Here, the PUCCH cell group may be set by the base station apparatus 3. For example, the base station apparatus 3 may transmit an upper layer signal including information (which may be an index or a cell group index) used for setting a PUCCH cell group.

  Here, it is needless to say that this embodiment is applicable to a group of one or a plurality of serving cells different from the above PUCCH cell group. For example, the base station apparatus 3 may set one or a plurality of serving cell groups in association with the serving cell indicated using the carrier indicator field (CIF). As will be described later, for example, the base station device 3 may set a timing advance group including one or a plurality of serving cells.

  That is, the base station apparatus 3 may set one or a plurality of serving cell groups in association with uplink transmission. Further, the base station apparatus 3 may set one or a plurality of serving cell groups in association with downlink transmission.

  Hereinafter, a group of one or a plurality of serving cells set by the base station apparatus 3 is also referred to as a cell group. That is, the PUCCH cell group may be included in the cell group. Further, the timing advance group may be included in the cell group. Here, the base station apparatus 3 and / or the terminal apparatus 1 may execute the operations described in the present embodiment for each cell group. That is, the base station device 3 and / or the terminal device 1 may execute the operation described in this embodiment in one cell group.

  Further, for example, the base station apparatus 3 and / or the terminal apparatus 1 may support carrier aggregation of up to 32 downlink component carriers (down to cell, up to 32 downlink component carriers). That is, the base station device 3 and / or the terminal device 1 can simultaneously perform transmission and / or reception on a plurality of physical channels in up to 32 serving cells. That is, the base station apparatus 3 may set up to 32 serving cells for the terminal apparatus 1. Here, the number of uplink component carriers may be smaller than the number of downlink component carriers.

  For example, the base station apparatus 3 and / or the terminal apparatus 1 may support carrier aggregation of up to 5 downlink component carriers. That is, the base station device 3 and / or the terminal device 1 can simultaneously perform transmission and / or reception on a plurality of physical channels in up to five serving cells. That is, the base station apparatus 3 may set up to 5 serving cells for the terminal apparatus 1. Here, the number of uplink component carriers may be smaller than the number of downlink component carriers.

  FIG. 2A shows that a first cell group and a second cell group are set as cell groups (here, PUCCH cell groups). For example, in FIG. 2A, the base station apparatus 3 may transmit a downlink signal in the first cell group. Moreover, the terminal device 3 may transmit an uplink signal in the first cell group (may transmit uplink control information on the PUCCH in the first cell group).

  For example, when 20 serving cells (downlink component carrier, downlink cell) are set or activated in the first cell group, the base station device 3 and the terminal device 1 correspond to the 20 downlink component carriers. Uplink control information may be transmitted and received.

  That is, the terminal device 1 may transmit HARQ-ACK (HARQ-ACK for transmission on PDSCH, HARQ-ACK for transport block) corresponding to 20 downlink component carriers. Moreover, the terminal device 1 may transmit CSI corresponding to 20 downlink component carriers. Moreover, the terminal device 1 may transmit SR for every cell group. Similarly, the base station apparatus 3 and the terminal apparatus 1 may transmit / receive uplink control information in the second cell group.

  Similarly, the base station device 3 and the terminal device 1 may set a cell group as shown in FIG. 2B and transmit / receive uplink control information. Moreover, the base station apparatus 3 and the terminal apparatus 1 may set a cell group as shown in FIG.2 (c), and may transmit / receive uplink control information.

  Here, one cell group (for example, PUCCH cell group) may include at least one serving cell (for example, PUCCH serving cell). In addition, one cell group (for example, PUCCH cell group) may include only one serving cell (for example, only PUCCH serving cell). Also, for example, one PUCCH cell group may include one PUCCH serving cell and one or more non-PUCCH serving cells.

  Here, the cell group including the primary cell is referred to as a primary cell group. A cell group that does not include a primary cell is referred to as a secondary cell group. Further, the PUCCH cell group including the primary cell is referred to as a primary PUCCH cell group. A PUCCH cell group that does not include a primary cell is referred to as a secondary PUCCH cell group.

  That is, the secondary PUCCH cell group may include a PUCCH secondary cell. For example, the index for the primary PUCCH cell group may always be defined as 0. Moreover, the index with respect to a secondary PUCCH cell group may be set by the base station apparatus 3 (a network apparatus may be sufficient).

  Here, the base station apparatus 3 may transmit the information used for indicating the PUCCH secondary cell by including it in the higher layer signal and / or PDCCH (downlink control information transmitted on the PDCCH). Good. The terminal device 1 may determine the PUCCH secondary cell based on information used to indicate the PUCCH secondary cell. Here, the cell index of the PUCCH secondary cell may be defined in advance by a specification or the like.

  As described above, the PUCCH in the PUCCH serving cell includes uplink control information (HARQ-ACK, CSI (eg, periodic CSI)) for serving cells (PUCCH serving cell, non-PUCCH serving cell) included in the PUCCH cell group to which the PUCCH serving cell belongs. And / or SR) may be used.

  That is, uplink control information (HARQ-ACK, CSI (eg, periodic CSI) and / or SR) for serving cells (PUCCH serving cell, non-PUCCH serving cell) included in the PUCCH cell group is included in the PUCCH cell group. Transmitted using the PUCCH in the serving PUCCH serving cell.

  Here, this embodiment may be applied only to the transmission of HARQ-ACK. Further, the present embodiment may be applied only to transmission of CSI (for example, periodic CSI). Further, the present embodiment may be applied only to SR transmission. In addition, the present embodiment may be applied to transmission of HARQ-ACK, transmission of CSI (for example, periodic CSI), and / or transmission of SR.

  That is, a cell group (may be a PUCCH cell group) for transmission of HARQ-ACK may be set. In addition, a cell group (may be a PUCCH cell group) for transmission of CSI (for example, periodic CSI) may be set. In addition, a cell group (may be a PUCCH cell group) for SR transmission may be set.

  For example, a cell group for transmission of HARQ-ACK, a cell group for transmission of CSI (for example, periodic CSI), and / or a cell group for transmission of SR may be individually set. Moreover, a common cell group may be set as a cell group for transmission of HARQ-ACK, a cell group for transmission of CSI (for example, periodic CSI), and / or a cell group for transmission of SR.

  Here, the number of cell groups for HARQ-ACK transmission may be one or two. The number of cell groups for CSI transmission may be one or two. The number of cell groups for transmission of SR may be one or two. Further, the cell group for transmission of CSI (for example, periodic CSI) and / or the cell group for transmission of SR may not be set (defined).

  Hereinafter, MTA (Multiple Timing Advance) in the present embodiment will be described.

  For example, the base station apparatus 3 may set a plurality of timing advance groups for the terminal apparatus 1 that supports MTA. The timing advance group may include one or more serving cells. Here, the timing advance group including the primary cell is referred to as a primary timing advance group. A timing advance group that does not include a primary cell is referred to as a secondary timing advance group.

  That is, the secondary timing advance group may include only one or a plurality of secondary cells. Here, the PUCCH secondary cell may be included in either the primary timing advance group or the secondary timing advance group.

  Further, the terminal device 1 may individually control the uplink transmission timing in the primary timing advance group and the uplink transmission timing in the secondary timing advance group. For example, the terminal device 1 uses the uplink transmission timing for PUCCH, PUSCH, and / or SRS in the primary timing advance group, and the uplink transmission for PUCCH, PUSCH, and / or SRS in the secondary timing advance group. Timing may be individually controlled. Hereinafter, the uplink transmission timing may be an uplink transmission timing for PUCCH, PUSCH, and / or SRS.

  Here, the uplink transmission timing in the secondary cell belonging to the primary timing advance group may be the same as the uplink transmission timing in the primary cell. That is, when the terminal device 1 receives the timing advance command for the primary cell from the base station device 3, the terminal device 1 refers to the timing advance command for the primary cell, and thereby the uplink in the secondary cell belonging to the primary cell and / or the primary timing advance group. The link transmission timing may be adjusted.

  In addition, when the terminal device 1 receives a timing advance command for the secondary timing advance group from the base station device 3, the terminal device 1 refers to the timing advance command for the secondary timing advance group, so that the secondary cells belonging to the secondary timing advance group (all The uplink transmission timing in the secondary cell may be adjusted. Here, the uplink transmission timing may be the same for all secondary cells belonging to the secondary timing advance group.

  Hereinafter, the configuration of the slot in the present embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of the slots in the present embodiment. In FIG. 3, the horizontal axis represents the time axis, and the vertical axis represents the frequency axis. Here, normal CP (normal cyclic prefix) may be applied to the OFDM symbol. Also, an extended CP (extended Cyclic Prefix) may be applied to the OFDM symbol. A physical signal or physical channel transmitted in each slot is represented by a resource grid.

  Here, in the downlink, the resource grid may be defined by a plurality of subcarriers and a plurality of OFDM symbols. In the uplink, a resource grid may be defined by a plurality of subcarriers and a plurality of SC-FDMA symbols. Further, the number of subcarriers constituting one slot may depend on the cell bandwidth. The number of OFDM symbols or SC-FDMA symbols constituting one slot may be seven. Here, each of the elements in the resource grid is referred to as a resource element. The resource element may be identified using a subcarrier number and an OFDM symbol or SC-FDMA symbol number.

  Here, the resource block may be used to express a mapping of a certain physical channel (such as PDSCH or PUSCH) to a resource element. In addition, virtual resource blocks and physical resource blocks may be defined as resource blocks. A physical channel may first be mapped to a virtual resource block. Thereafter, the virtual resource block may be mapped to a physical resource block. One physical resource block may be defined from 7 consecutive OFDM symbols or SC-FDMA symbols in the time domain and 12 consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain. Therefore, one physical resource block may be composed of (7 × 12) resource elements. One physical resource block may correspond to one slot in the time domain and 180 kHz in the frequency domain. Also, physical resource blocks may be numbered from 0 in the frequency domain.

  Hereinafter, the CRC parity bits added to the DCI format (DCI: may be downlink control information) will be described in detail. In this embodiment, “CRC parity bit”, “CRC bit”, and “CRC” may be the same.

  For example, the number of CRC parity bits added to the corresponding DCI format may be 24 or 16. That is, the base station apparatus 3 and the terminal apparatus 1 select whether the number of CRC parity bits added to the corresponding DCI format is 24 or 16 according to one or more conditions ( Determination, judgment). That is, the base station apparatus 3 uses the DCI to which the first CRC parity bit (for example, the CRC parity bit having 24 numbers) or the second CRC parity bit (for example, the CRC parity bit having 16 numbers) is added. A format may be sent. The terminal device 1 may monitor the DCI format to which the first CRC parity bit or the second CRC parity bit is added. Here, as described above, the DCI format may be transmitted on the PDCCH.

  For example, the base station apparatus 3 uses higher layer parameters (for example, RRC layer parameters) used for the terminal apparatus 1 to set (may be instructed or defined) to monitor a PDCCH including 24-bit CRC parity bits. May be sent. Also, the base station apparatus 3 sets (may be instructed or defined) in the terminal apparatus 1 whether to monitor a PDCCH including a CRC parity bit of 24 bits or to monitor a PDCCH including a CRC parity bit of 16 bits. The higher layer parameters used for this purpose may be transmitted. In this embodiment, the “upper layer parameter”, “upper layer message”, “upper layer signal”, “upper layer information”, and “upper layer information element” are the same. It may be.

  That is, the base station apparatus 3 may transmit information (parameters) related to DCI monitoring to which the first CRC parity bit is added to the terminal apparatus 1. Further, the base station apparatus 3 may transmit information (parameters) related to DCI monitoring to which the second CRC parity bit is added to the terminal apparatus 1. Hereinafter, the information (parameter) related to the DCI monitor to which the first CRC parity bit is added and / or the information (parameter) related to the DCI monitor to which the second CRC parity bit is added are simply monitored by the DCI. Also described as a parameter.

  Here, in the present embodiment, “PDCCH that transmits a DCI format with a CRC parity bit added”, “PDCCH that includes a CRC parity bit and includes a DCI format”, “PDCCH that includes a CRC parity bit”, and , “PDCCH including DCI format” may be the same. In the present embodiment, “PDCCH including X” and “PDCCH with X” may be the same. That is, the terminal device 1 may monitor the DCI format. The terminal device 1 may monitor DCI. Moreover, the terminal device 1 may monitor PDCCH.

  For example, parameters related to DCI monitoring may be set for each serving cell. Also, parameters related to DCI monitoring may be set for each cell group. Moreover, the parameter regarding the monitor of DCI may be set only with respect to a secondary cell. Also, the parameters related to DCI monitoring may be set only for a group of serving cells that do not include a primary cell.

  For example, when the terminal device 1 in which the first serving cell and the second serving cell are set has parameters related to DCI monitoring set in the first serving cell, the PDCCH (DCI, DCI in the first serving cell is set. May be monitored) based on DCI monitoring parameters. Here, the PDCCH (which may be DCI or DCI format) in the first serving cell may be used for scheduling of the PDSCH in the first serving cell and / or the second serving cell. Also, the PDCCH (which may be DCI or DCI format) in the first serving cell may be used for PUSCH scheduling in the first serving cell and / or the second serving cell.

  Here, the base station apparatus 3 transmits a higher layer parameter (for example, an RRC layer parameter) used to instruct that the PDSCH and / or PUSCH is scheduled using the PDCCH in any serving. May be. That is, the base station apparatus 3 may transmit information used to instruct in which serving cell a downlink assignment (also referred to as downlink allocation) is signaled. Moreover, the base station apparatus 3 may transmit the information used for instruct | indicating in which serving cell the uplink grant (uplink grant) is signaled.

  Moreover, the parameter regarding the monitor of DCI may be applied only to USS. That is, the parameters related to the DCI monitor may not be applied to the DCI monitor in the CSS, but may be applied only to the DCI monitor in the USS. Also, the parameters related to DCI monitoring may be applied to only one of PDCCH and EPDCCH.

  Moreover, the terminal device 1 may monitor PDCCH including a 24-bit CRC parity bit when a predetermined condition is satisfied. That is, the terminal device 1 is related to an upper layer parameter (which may be set based on a parameter related to DCI monitoring or a parameter related to DCI monitoring) instructing the terminal device 1 to monitor a PDCCH including 24 CRC parity bits. If the predetermined condition is satisfied, the PDCCH including 24 CRC CRC bits may be monitored.

  Here, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, the terminal device 1 may monitor the PDCCH including 24-bit CRC parity bits in the secondary cell. Further, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the terminal device 1 may monitor a PDCCH including 24-bit CRC parity bits in a secondary cell belonging to a serving cell group that does not include a primary cell. Moreover, the terminal device 1 may monitor PDCCH including a CRC parity bit of 24 bits in USS (only USS may be used) when a predetermined condition is satisfied. Moreover, the terminal device 1 may monitor EPDCCH (only EPDCCH) including a 24-bit CRC parity bit when a predetermined condition is satisfied.

  For example, when the terminal device 1 is configured with a larger number of serving cells (for example, more than 5 serving cells) using higher layer parameters (for example, RRC layer parameters), the terminal device 1 May monitor PDCCH including 24-bit CRC parity bits (may be determined to be monitored). That is, when the terminal apparatus 1 is configured with a predetermined number or less of serving cells (for example, 5 or less serving cells) using higher-layer parameters (for example, RRC layer parameters), the terminal apparatus 1 The PDCCH including the CRC parity bits of 24 bits or the PDCCH including the CRC parity bits of 16 bits may be monitored based on the setting based on the parameters regarding the monitoring of the above.

  Also, the number of PDCCH candidates monitored by the terminal device 1 in a certain subframe and / or the size of the DCI format monitored by the terminal device 1 in the certain subframe (the payload size of the DCI format, the payload size of the DCI format) The terminal device 1 may monitor the PDCCH including the CRC parity bits of 24 bits (may be determined to be monitored).

  For example, when the product of the number of PDCCH candidates monitored by the terminal device 1 in a certain subframe and the size of the DCI format monitored by the terminal device 1 in the certain subframe is larger than a predetermined value, The terminal device 1 may monitor the PDCCH including 24-bit CRC parity bits (may be determined to be monitored).

  Hereinafter, “the terminal apparatus 1 is instructed to monitor the PDCCH including the CRC parity bits of 24 bits (for example, the RRC layer parameter) and / or the terminal based on the predetermined condition as described above. “The device 1 monitors the PDCCH including the CRC parity bits of 24 bits” is simply described as “the terminal device 1 is set to monitor the PDCCH including the CRC parity bits of 24 bits”.

  Hereinafter, “the terminal apparatus 1 is instructed to monitor the PDCCH including the CRC parity bits of 24 bits (for example, the RRC layer parameter) and / or the terminal based on the predetermined condition as described above. “The device 1 does not monitor PDCCH including 24-bit CRC parity bits” is also described as “the terminal device 1 is not set to monitor PDCCH including 24-bit CRC parity bits”.

  Here, when at least one of the following conditions (a) to (d) is satisfied, the number of CRC parity bits added to the corresponding DCI format may be 16. That is, when at least one of the following conditions (a) to (d) is satisfied, the base station apparatus 3 may transmit DCI to which 16 CRC parity bits are added. Further, when at least one of the following conditions (a) to (d) is satisfied, the terminal device 1 may monitor DCI to which 16 CRC parity bits are added. That is, when at least one of the following conditions (a) to (d) is satisfied, the terminal device 1 may monitor the PDCCH including 16 CRC parity bits.

Condition (a): The terminal apparatus 1 is not set using a higher layer parameter (for example, an RRC layer parameter) to monitor a PDCCH including 24 CRC CRC bits. Condition (b): Corresponding DCI format is mapped to CSS (sent in CSS)
Condition (c): The corresponding DCI format is mapped at least to the USS given by the Temporary C-RNTI (at least sent in the USS given by the Temporary C-RNTI)
Condition (d): CRC parity bits added to the corresponding DCI format are scrambled by a predetermined RNTI

  That is, for example, when the terminal device 1 is not set using upper layer parameters (which may be RRC layer parameters or DCI monitoring parameters) to monitor a PDCCH including 24-bit CRC parity bits, The number of CRC parity bits added to the corresponding DCI format may be 16.

  Also, for example, when the corresponding DCI format is mapped to CSS, the number of CRC parity bits added to the corresponding DCI format may be 16. That is, when transmitting the DCI format in CSS, the base station apparatus 3 may transmit the DCI format with a 16-bit CRC parity bit added. Further, when receiving the DCI format in CSS, the terminal device 1 may receive the DCI format to which a 16-bit CRC parity bit is added.

  That is, when the corresponding DCI format is mapped to the USS, the number of CRC parity bits added to the corresponding DCI format may be 16 or 24.

In addition, the terminal device 1 is configured to monitor a PDCCH (which may be a DCI format) including a CRC parity bit of 24 bits, and when the DCI format is received in the USS, the terminal device 1 has a 24-bit CRC. You may receive the DCI format to which the parity bit was added.

  Also, the base station apparatus 3 is not set for the terminal apparatus 1 to monitor the PDCCH (which may be a DCI format) including 24-bit CRC parity bits, and the DCI format is transmitted in the USS. Alternatively, 16-bit CRC parity bits may be added to the DCI format for transmission. Further, the terminal device 1 is not set to monitor the PDCCH (which may be in the DCI format) including the CRC parity bits of 24 bits, and when the terminal device 1 receives the DCI format in the USS, 24 A DCI format to which a CRC parity bit of bits is added may be received.

  Also, for example, when the corresponding DCI format is mapped to at least the USS given by the Temporary C-RNTI, the number of CRC parity bits added to the corresponding DCI format may be 16. That is, when transmitting the DCI format at least in the USS given by the Temporary C-RNTI, the base station apparatus 3 may transmit the DCI format with a 16-bit CRC parity bit added. Further, when the terminal device 1 receives the DCI format at least in the USS given by the Temporary C-RNTI, the terminal device 1 may receive the DCI format to which 16 CRC parity bits are added.

  That is, when the corresponding DCI format is mapped to at least the USS provided by the C-RNTI, the number of CRC parity bits added to the corresponding DCI format may be 16 or 24.

  That is, the base station apparatus 3 sets the terminal apparatus 1 to monitor a PDCCH (which may be a DCI format) including 24 CRC parity bits, and gives the DCI format at least by C-RNTI. In the case of transmission in the USS, a CRC parity bit of 24 bits may be added to the DCI format for transmission. Also, the terminal device 1 is set so that the terminal device 1 monitors a PDCCH (which may be a DCI format) including 24 CRC parity bits, and receives the DCI format at least in the USS provided by the C-RNTI. In this case, a DCI format to which 24-bit CRC parity bits are added may be received.

  That is, when the base station apparatus 3 is set for the terminal apparatus 1 to monitor a PDCCH (which may be in a DCI format) including a 24-bit CRC parity bit, at least a 24-bit USS given by the C-RNTI is used. The DCI to which the CRC parity bit is added may be transmitted, and the DCI to which the CRC parity bit of 16 bits is added in the CSS may be transmitted.

  Here, the DCI to which the CRC parity bit scrambled by the RA-RNTI is added may be transmitted only in the CSS. That is, the DCI scrambled by RA-RNTI and having 16-bit CRC parity bits added may be transmitted only in CSS.

  In addition, the 24-bit CRC parity bit may be scrambled by C-RNTI. Further, the 16 CRC parity bits may be scrambled by C-RNTI or Temporary C-RNTI.

  That is, when all of the conditions (a) to (d) are not satisfied, the number of CRC parity bits added to the corresponding DCI format may be 24. For example, (1) the terminal apparatus 1 is set using a higher layer parameter (for example, an RRC layer parameter) to monitor a PDCCH including 24 CRC parity bits, and (2) the corresponding DCI The format is mapped to at least the USS given by the C-RNTI, and (3) CRC parity bits added to the corresponding DCI format are scrambled by a RNTI other than a given RNTI (eg, C-RNTI) 24, the number of CRC parity bits added to the corresponding DCI format may be 24.

  Here, of course, all or part of the conditions (a) to (d) may be used in the above-described processing. In the above-described processing, it is needless to say that conditions other than the conditions (a) to (d) may be used.

  Hereinafter, a method when the CRC parity bit is scrambled by the RNTI will be described in detail. In the present embodiment, an RNTI having a 16-bit number is described, but it goes without saying that the RNTI may have a number other than 16 bits. Here, the process in which the CRC parity bit is scrambled by the RNTI may be executed by the base station apparatus 3. That is, when performing the CRC parity check, the terminal device 1 may consider that the CRC parity bit is scrambled by the RNTI.

  That is, error detection may be provided based on a bit sequence provided by CRC CRC bits being scrambled by RNTI. Also, error detection may be performed based on a bit sequence given by scrambling CRC parity bits with RNTI.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the “16 CRC parity bits” is also referred to as “16-bit CRC”, “16-bit CRC”, or “16-bit CRC parity bit”. In the present embodiment, “a CRC parity bit of 24 numbers” is also referred to as “24-bit CRC”, “24-bit CRC”, or “24-bit CRC parity bit”.

Also, 24-bit _{CRC <b A, ..., b} A + 23> bit sequence of the _{<b A, ..., b A} + 7> _{is, RNTI <x rnti, 0,} ..., x rnti, 15> bit sequence of the < may be scrambled by x _{rnti, 8} ,..., x _{rnti, 15} >. That is, 24-bit _{CRC <b A, ..., b} A + 23> bit sequence of the _{<b A, ..., b A} + 7> _{is, RNTI <x rnti, 0,} ..., x rnti, 15> part of the < may be scrambled by x _{rnti, 8} ,..., x _{rnti, 15} >.

That is, when L (number of CRC parity bits) is 24, the bit sequence <c ₀ ,..., C _{A + L−1} > may be given by Equation 3 below.

FIG. 8 is another diagram for explaining the scrambling of CRC parity bits by the RNTI in this embodiment. Here, the bit sequence <c ₀ ,..., C _B−1 > (B = A + L) may be given by a process as shown in FIG. 8 and may be transmitted / received on the PDCCH.

That is, the bit sequences _{<b 0, ..., b A} -1, b A, ..., b A + 23> part of the _{<b A + 8, ...,} b A + 23> _{is, RNTI <x rnti, 0,} ..., It may be scrambled by x _{rnti, 15} >. That is, bit sequence <b _{A + 8} ,... Of CRC parity bits <b _A ,..., B _{A + L−1} > (L = 23) in bit sequence <b ₀ ,..., B _{A + L−1} > (L = 23) , b _{A + L−1} > (L = 23) may be scrambled by RNTI <x _{rnti, 0} , ..., x _{rnti, 15} >.

Here, the bit sequence _{<b 0, ..., b A} -1, b A, ..., b A + 23> , the payload of the DCI <a ₀ ,...,a _A-1> 24-bit CRC <p _0, ..., It may be given by appending p _L-1 >. That is, the bit sequence <b ₀ ,..., B _A-1 > may be DCI (DCI payload), and the bit sequence <b _A ,..., B _{A + 23} > may be a 24-bit CRC. That is, the bit sequence <b _{A + 8} ,..., B _{A + 23} > of the 24-bit CRC <b _A ,..., B _{A + 23} > may be scrambled by RNTI <x _{rnti, 0} , ..., x _{rnti, 15} >. .

Also, 24-bit _{CRC <b A, ..., b} A + 23> bit sequence of the _{<b A, ..., b A} + 7> _{is, RNTI <x rnti, 0,} ..., x rnti, 15> bit sequence of the < _{x rnti, 8, ..., x} rnti, 15>, _{and, RNTI <x rnti, 0,} ..., x rnti, 15 bit sequence _{<x RNTI,} 0 of>, _..., are scrambled by _{x RNTI, 7>} May be. That is, 24-bit _{CRC <b A, ..., b} A + 23> bit sequence of the _{<b A, ..., b A} + 7> _{is, RNTI <x rnti, 0,} ..., x rnti, 15> part of the < x _{rnti, 8} , ..., x _{rnti, 15} > and scrambled by the remaining <x _{rnti, 0} , ..., x _{rnti, 7} > of RNTI <x _{rnti, 0} , ..., x _{rnti, 15} > Also good.

That is, when L (the number of CRC parity bits) is 24, the bit sequence <c ₀ ,..., C _{A + L−1} > may be given by Equation 4 below.

  As described above, by increasing the number of CRC parity bits scrambled by the RNTI, the terminal device 1 transmits the PDCCH including the CRC parity bits scrambled by the RNTI for the other terminal device 1 to the terminal device 1. The probability of erroneously determining that the PDCCH includes CRC parity bits that are scrambled by RNTI can be reduced.

  Here, increasing the number of CRC parity bits causes a decrease in the coding rate for transmission on the PDCCH and / or an increase in the amount of resources required for transmission on the PDCCH. Therefore, as described above, the base station apparatus 3 and the terminal apparatus 1 are switched by switching the number of CRC parity bits added to the corresponding DCI format (DCI: may be downlink control information) according to a predetermined condition. It becomes possible to communicate efficiently.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining downlink control information to which CRC parity bits are added in the present embodiment. The downlink control information shown in the upper part of FIG. 9 indicates downlink control information to which a 24-bit CRC is added. Also, the downlink control information shown in the lower part of FIG. 9 indicates downlink control information to which a 16-bit CRC is added.

In FIG. 9, a bit sequence <b ₀ ,..., B _A-1 > indicates DCI (downlink control information) for the first terminal apparatus 1. Further, the bit sequence <b _A ,..., B _{A + 23} > indicates a 24-bit CRC. Further, the bit sequence <x _{rnti, 0} ,..., X _{rnti, 15} > indicates the RNTI assigned to the first terminal apparatus 1.

The bit sequence <b ′ _{0 ′} ,..., B ′ _A′−1 > indicates downlink control information for the second terminal apparatus 1. Further, the bit sequence <b ′ _{A ′} ,..., B ′ _{A ′ + 15} > indicates a 16-bit CRC. Further, the bit sequence <x ′ _{rnti, 0} ,..., X ′ _{rnti, 15} > indicates the RNTI assigned to the second terminal apparatus 1.

Here, 24-bit _{CRC <b A, ..., b} A + 23> bit sequence of the _{<b A, ..., b A} + 15> _{is, RNTI <x rnti, 0,} ..., x rnti, 15> be scrambled by Good. That is, 24-bit _{CRC <b A, ..., b} A + 23> bit sequence of the _{<b A + 16, ...,} b A + 23> _{is, RNTI <x rnti, 0,} ..., x rnti, 15> part of the < x _{rnti, 8} , ..., x _{rnti, 15} > and scrambled by the remaining <x _{rnti, 0} , ..., x _{rnti, 7} > of RNTI <x _{rnti, 0} , ..., x _{rnti, 15} > Also good.

Also, 16-bit _{CRC <b 'A', ...} , b 'A' + 15> _{is, RNTI <x 'rnti, 0} , ..., x' rnti, 15> may be scrambled by.

Here, even if an RNTI different from the RNTI for the first terminal device 1 is assigned to the second terminal device 1, the latter 16 bits of the 24-bit CRC for the first terminal device 1 <b Scrambling applied to _{A + 8} ,..., B _{A + 23} > is applied to 16-bit CRC <b ′ _{A ′} ,..., B ′ _{A ′ + 15} > for the second terminal device 1 It may be the same. In this case, the probability that the second terminal apparatus 1 detects the PDCCH addressed to the first terminal apparatus 1 as the PDCCH of the second terminal apparatus 1 increases.

  For example, RNTI <1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1> is assigned to the first terminal device 1 and the second When RNTI <1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0> is assigned to the terminal device 1 of The latter 16 bits of the 24-bit CRC for the terminal device 1 and the 16-bit CRC for the second terminal device 1 both have a bit sequence <1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1. 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0>.

Therefore, the base station apparatus 3 performs scrambling applied to the second half 16 bits <b _{A + 8} ,..., B _{A + 23} > of the 24-bit CRC for the first terminal apparatus 1. For each of the first terminal apparatus 1 and the second terminal apparatus 1 so as not to be the same as the scrambling applied to the 16-bit CRC <b ′ _{A ′} ,..., B ′ _{A ′ + 15} > RNTI may be assigned.

Further, as in the example shown in FIGS. 6, 7, and 8, the last 16 bits <b _{A + 8} ,..., B _{A + 23} > of the 24-bit CRC for the first terminal device 1 are the first _Are scrambled by RNTI <x _{rnti, 0} ,..., X _{rnti, 15} > assigned to the terminal device 1 of the second terminal device 1 and the first terminal device 1. When an RNTI different from the allocated RNTI is assigned, scrambling applied to the latter 16 bits <b _{A + 8} ,..., B _{A + 23} > of the 24-bit CRC for the first terminal apparatus 1, The scrambling applied to the 16-bit CRC <b ′ _{A ′} ,..., B ′ _{A ′ + 15} > for the terminal device 1 can be made different.

  By performing the operation as described above, the base station device 3 and the terminal device 1 can communicate efficiently.

  Hereinafter, UE transmission antenna selection in the present embodiment will be described. Here, the UE transmit antenna selection may include closed loop UE transmit antenna selection and open loop UE transmit antenna selection.

  For example, the UE transmission antenna selection may be performed by the terminal device 1. Moreover, UE transmission antenna selection may be applied with respect to PUSCH, DMRS regarding PUSCH, and SRS. Or UE transmission antenna selection may not be applied with respect to PUCCH, DMRS regarding PUCCH, and PRACH. Here, PUCCH, DMRS related to PUCCH, and PRACH may be transmitted using the first transmission antenna port.

  Further, UE transmission antenna selection may be set by an upper layer via an upper layer parameter (ue-TransmitAntennaSelection). That is, the upper layer parameter (ue-TransmitAntennaSelection) may be notified to the terminal device 1 by the base station device 3.

  Here, the upper layer parameter (ue-TransmitAntennaSelection) may be used to indicate release or setup. For example, an upper layer parameter (ue-TransmitAntennaSelection) may be used to indicate to the setup whether the control of UE transmit antenna selection is closed loop or open loop. Further, when the received upper layer parameter (ue-TransmitAntennaSelection) indicates release, UE transmission antenna selection may be invalidated by the terminal device 1.

  Further, when the received upper layer parameter (ue-TransmitAntennaSelection) indicates that the control of UE transmission antenna selection is a closed loop, the higher layer may enable the closed loop UE transmission antenna selection. Also, if the received upper layer parameter (ue-TransmitAntennaSelection) indicates that the UE transmission antenna selection control is open loop, the upper layer may enable the open loop UE transmission antenna selection. .

  Here, when the UE transmission antenna selection is disabled by the terminal device 1, the terminal device 1 may transmit the uplink signal as described above using the first transmission antenna port. Good.

  Further, when the open-loop UE transmission antenna selection is enabled by the upper layer, the transmission antenna (transmission antenna port) for PUSCH and / or SRS may be selected by the terminal device 1 itself.

  In addition, when the closed-loop UE transmission antenna selection is enabled by the upper layer, the terminal apparatus 1 refers to the latest transmission antenna selection command (most recent command) received from the base station apparatus 3 to determine PUSCH. A transmit antenna port for may be selected.

  Here, the transmission antenna selection command may be notified by an antenna selection mask for CRC parity bits. That is, the “transmit antenna selection command” may be the same as the “antenna selection mask”.

  That is, the base station apparatus 3 notifies the terminal apparatus 1 of the transmission antenna port for PUSCH by the antenna selection mask. Moreover, the base station apparatus 3 may select an antenna selection mask and scramble the CRC parity bit with the selected antenna selection mask. For example, when closed-loop UE transmission antenna selection is enabled by the upper layer, the terminal device 1 uses the antenna selection mask selected by the base station device 3 based on the CRC parity bits scrambled by the antenna selection mask. May be specified (determined).

FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining an antenna selection mask for 16-bit CRC in the present embodiment. 10, 16-bit _{CRC <b A, ..., b} A + 15> _{is, RNTI <x rnti, 0,} ..., x rnti, 15> and antenna selection mask _{<x AS, 0, ...,} x AS, 15> by It is shown to be scrambled. Here, the other descriptions in FIG. 10 are the same as those in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 10, when L (number of CRC parity bits) is 16, the bit sequence <c ₀ ,..., C _{A + L−1} > may be given by Equation 5 below.

FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining an antenna selection mask for 24-bit CRC in the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 11, the bit sequence <b _A ,..., B _{A + 7} > in the 24-bit CRC <b _A ,..., B _{A + 23} > is RNTI <x _{rnti, 0} , ..., x _{rnti, 15} > some of the _{<x rnti, 8, ...,} x rnti, 15>, RNTI <x rnti, 0, ..., x rnti, 15> the rest of the _{<x rnti, 0, ...,} x rnti, 7> , And antenna selection mask <x _{AS, 0} ,..., X _{AS, 15} >. Here, the other description in FIG. 11 is the same as FIG.

As shown in FIG. 11, when L (number of CRC parity bits) is 24, the bit sequence <c ₀ ,..., C _{A + L−1} > may be given by Equation 6 below.

Here, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, a first set of multiple antenna selection masks applied to a 16-bit CRC and multiple antenna selections applied to a 24-bit CRC. The second set of masks may be different. That is, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, a first set of a plurality of antenna selection masks applied to a 16-bit CRC <x _{AS, 0} ,..., X _{AS, 15} > (ie <0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0> and <0,0,0,0,0,0,0 , ₀ , ₀ , ₀ , ₀ , ₀ , ₀ , ₀ , ₀ , 1>) and a second set of antenna selection masks applied to the 24-bit CRC <x ′ _{AS, 0} ,. x ′ _{AS, 7} > (ie, <0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0> and <0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1>) are different Also good.

  For example, the first set of antenna selection masks applied to a 16-bit CRC may be a first antenna selection mask (eg, <0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 , 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0>) and a second antenna selection mask (eg, <0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 , 0, 0, 0, 0, 1>). Here, the first antenna selection mask may be used to indicate the first transmit antenna port. The second antenna selection mask may also be used to indicate the second transmit antenna port.

  The second set of antenna selection masks applied to the 24-bit CRC is a third antenna selection mask (eg, <0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0>). , And a fourth antenna selection mask (eg, <0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1>). Here, the third antenna selection mask may be used to indicate the first transmit antenna port. The fourth antenna selection mask may also be used to indicate the second transmit antenna port.

  That is, when the number of CRC parity bits (L value) is 16, the first transmission antenna port may be given by the first antenna selection mask. When the number of CRC parity bits (L value) is 24, the first transmission antenna port may be given by the third antenna selection mask. Here, the first antenna selection mask and the third antenna selection mask may be different. For example, the number of bits in the antenna selection mask may be 16 when L is 16 and may be 8 when L is 24. The values of the bits of the antenna selection mask may be different when L is 16 and L is 24.

  Similarly, when the number of CRC parity bits (L value) is 16, the second transmit antenna port may be provided by the second antenna selection mask. When the number of CRC parity bits (L value) is 24, the second transmission antenna port may be given by the fourth antenna selection mask. Here, the second antenna selection mask and the fourth antenna selection mask may be different. For example, the number of bits in the antenna selection mask may be 16 when L is 16 and may be 8 when L is 24. Also, the values of the bits of the antenna selection mask may be different when L is 16 and L is 24.

  Here, when a plurality of serving cells are set for the terminal device 1, the terminal device 1 may receive a plurality of transmission antenna selection commands in one subframe. In this case, in this case, the base station apparatus 3 uses a plurality of transmission antenna selection commands indicating the same transmission antenna port (the same value of the transmission antenna port) in one subframe, and a terminal in which a plurality of serving cells are set. You may transmit to the apparatus 1. That is, when the terminal apparatus 1 receives a plurality of transmission antenna selection commands in one subframe, the same transmission antenna port (the same value of the transmission antenna port) is indicated using the plurality of transmission antenna selection commands. May be considered.

  In addition, when closed-loop UE transmission antenna selection is enabled using higher layer parameters (for example, RRC layer parameters), the terminal device 1 refers to the counted number of SRS transmissions, A transmit antenna port for SRS may be selected. That is, the transmission antenna port for SRS transmission may be given by an SRS transmission instance (subframe for SRS transmission) set by the base station apparatus 3. Here, when a plurality of serving cells are set for the terminal device 1, the base station device 3 sets an SRS transmission instance so that the terminal device 1 does not simultaneously transmit SRS in different transmission antenna ports. Also good.

  Here, when a plurality of timing advance groups are set, the terminal device 1 is configured to simultaneously transmit PUSCH and PUCCH, simultaneously transmit PUSCH and SRS, simultaneously transmit PUCCH and SRS, simultaneously transmit PRACH and SRS, and Simultaneous transmission of PRACH and PUSCH may be performed. That is, when a plurality of timing advance groups are set, the terminal device 1 simultaneously transmits PUSCH and PUCCH, simultaneously transmits PUSCH and SRS, simultaneously transmits PUCCH and SRS, simultaneously transmits PRACH and SRS, and PRACH. And PUSCH are expected to be transmitted simultaneously.

  Moreover, the terminal device 1 may perform simultaneous transmission of PUSCH and PUCCH when a plurality of PUCCH cell groups are set or when transmission on the PUCCH in the secondary cell is set. Further, the terminal device 1 is expected to perform simultaneous transmission of PUSCH and PUCCH when a plurality of PUCCH cell groups are set or when transmission on the PUCCH in the secondary cell is set.

  As described above, when the terminal apparatus 1 is expected to simultaneously transmit an uplink signal to which transmission antenna selection is applied and an uplink signal to which transmission antenna selection is not applied, the base station apparatus 3 The terminal device 1 may be instructed to disable transmission antenna selection via a higher layer parameter (ue-TransmitAntennaSelection).

  That is, the base station apparatus 3 does not set transmission on the PUCCH in the plurality of timing advance groups, the plurality of PUCCH cell groups, and / or the secondary cell to the terminal apparatus 1 for which transmission antenna selection is set. Also good. That is, the base station apparatus 3 may not set the MTA for the terminal apparatus 1 for which the transmission antenna selection is set. Moreover, the base station apparatus 3 does not need to set a some PUCCH cell group with respect to the terminal device 1 with which transmission antenna selection was set. Moreover, the base station apparatus 3 does not need to set the transmission by PUCCH in a secondary cell with respect to the terminal device 1 with which transmission antenna selection was set.

  Here, the base station apparatus 3 may set a some PUCCH cell group with respect to the terminal device 1 which set the some timing advance group. Moreover, the base station apparatus 3 may set the transmission by PUCCH in a secondary cell with respect to the terminal device 1 which set the several timing advance group. That is, the base station apparatus 3 may set a plurality of PUCCH cell groups for the terminal apparatus 1 for which MTA is set. Moreover, the base station apparatus 3 may set several PUCCH cell groups with respect to the terminal device 1 which set MTA.

  Further, when the transmission antenna selection is set, the terminal device 1 is not expected to be set to transmit on the PUCCH in a plurality of timing advance groups, a plurality of PUCCH cell groups, and / or a secondary cell. Also good. That is, the terminal device 1 may not be expected to set the MTA when the transmission antenna selection is set. Further, the terminal device 1 may not be expected to set a plurality of PUCCH cell groups when the transmission antenna selection is set. Moreover, when the transmission antenna selection is set, the terminal device 1 may not be expected to set transmission on the PUCCH in the secondary cell.

  Here, the terminal device 1 may be expected to set a plurality of PUCCH cell groups when a plurality of timing advance groups are set. Moreover, the terminal device 1 may be expected to set transmission on the PUCCH in the secondary cell when a plurality of timing advance groups are set. That is, when the MTA is set, the terminal device 1 may be expected to set a plurality of PUCCH cell groups. Further, the base station apparatus 3 may be expected to set a plurality of PUCCH cell groups when the MTA is set.

  Here, the terminal apparatus 1 may transmit function information (also referred to as capability information) used to indicate whether the terminal apparatus 1 supports various functions to the base station apparatus 3. Here, the function information may indicate whether the function has been successfully tested for each of the plurality of functions. The function information may indicate whether the terminal device 1 supports a predetermined function.

  For example, the function information includes (i) whether the terminal device 1 supports transmission antenna selection, (ii) whether the terminal device 1 supports MTA (Multiple Timing Advance), (iii) a plurality of terminal devices 1 It may be used to indicate whether to support the PUCCH cell group and / or (iv) whether the terminal device 1 supports transmission on the PUCCH in the secondary cell.

  For example, the function information transmitted by the terminal device 1 indicates that (i) the terminal device 1 supports transmission antenna selection, and (ii) the terminal device 1 supports MTA (Multiple Timing Advance). Even if this is the case, the base station apparatus 3 does not have to set a plurality of timing advance groups for the terminal apparatus 1 that has set the transmission antenna selection. That is, the function information transmitted by the terminal device 1 indicates that (i) the terminal device 1 supports transmission antenna selection, and (ii) the terminal device 1 supports MTA (Multiple Timing Advance). Even if this is the case, the terminal device 1 in which the transmission antenna selection is set may not be expected to set a plurality of timing advance groups.

  In addition, the function information transmitted by the terminal device 1 includes (i) that the terminal device 1 supports transmission antenna selection, and (ii) that the terminal device 1 supports transmission on the PUCCH in the secondary cell. Even if it is the case where it showed, the base station apparatus 3 does not need to set the transmission by PUCCH in a secondary cell with respect to the terminal device 1 which set transmission antenna selection. That is, the function information by the terminal device 1 indicates that (i) the terminal device 1 supports transmission antenna selection, and (ii) the terminal device 1 supports transmission on the PUCCH in the secondary cell. Even if it is a case, the terminal device 1 to which transmission antenna selection is set may not be expected to be set to transmit on the PUCCH in the secondary cell.

  When the base station apparatus 3 and the terminal apparatus 1 perform the operations as described above, the terminal apparatus 1 uses the different transmission antenna ports to perform uplink even when UE transmission antenna selection is enabled by the upper layer. Therefore, it is possible to simplify the configuration of the RF (Radio Frequency) unit in the terminal device 1 having the ability to perform UE transmission antenna selection. This also enables efficient communication between the base station device 3 and the terminal device 1.

  As described above, the present embodiment has been described with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration is not limited to the above description, and includes design changes and the like without departing from the gist of the present invention. The present embodiment also includes embodiments obtained by appropriately combining the methods / processes described above within the technical scope of the present invention.

  Hereinafter, the configuration of the apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described.
