For example, the frequency resources of NSSB SS / _PBCH block candidates in the half radio frame may be the same.

An SS / PBCH block index may be added to each of the NSSB SS / _PBCH block candidates in the half radio frame. For example, the SS / PBCH block index may be equal to the candidate index. For example, the SS / PBCH block index may be determined by the remainder of the candidate index divided by the value Q. Here, the value Q may be indicated by the parameters of the upper layer.

The base station device 3 may notify the terminal device 1 of the bitmap information. The terminal device 1 may determine the relationship between the SS / PBCH block index and the PRACH opportunity (association between SS / PBCH block index and PRACH occurrences) based on the bitmap information. Bitmap information may be included in the parameters of the upper layer.

For example, bitmap information may be used to indicate a set of SS / PBCH blocks transmitted by the base station apparatus 3. Based on the bitmap information, the terminal device 1 may recognize the pool of SS / PBCH block indexes. The pool of SS / PBCH block indexes is also referred to as the index pool. For example, when the bitmap information is 8 bits, the first bit corresponds to SS / PBCH block index 0, the second bit corresponds to SS / PBCH block index 1, and the Xth bit corresponds to SS / PBCH block index. It may correspond to X-1. Further, when the Xth bit is set to 1, the terminal device 1 may include the SS / PBCH block index X-1 in the index pool.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a procedure for determining the relationship between the SS / PBCH block index and the PRACH opportunity according to one aspect of the present embodiment. In FIG. 9, 9000 indicates an association period. Also, each of 9001 to 9004 represents one PRACH opportunity during the association period 9000. Further, 9005 indicates an index pool. In FIG. 9, SS / PBCH block indexes # 2, # 5, and # 6 are included in the index pool 9005.

In the example shown in FIG. 9, SS / PBCH block index # 2 is associated with PRACH opportunities 9001 and 9004, SS / PBCH block index # 5 is associated with PRACH opportunity 9002, and SS / PBCH block index # 6 is associated with PRACH opportunity. Associated with 9003.

Here, the ordering of PRACH opportunities may be ordered in ascending order in the frequency domain, and may be ordered by a method such as ordering in the frequency direction and then on the time axis (Frequency-first time-second).

For the procedure of determining the relationship between the SS / PBCH block index and the PRACH opportunity, at least some or all of N, R, and _Total may be notified to terminal device 1. N is a parameter indicating the number of SS / PBCH blocks associated with one PRACH opportunity. R is a parameter indicating the number of preambles for CBRA (Contention-Based Random-Access) assigned to one SS / PBCH block index among the random access preambles of one PRACH opportunity.

FIG. 9 is an example when N is 1.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of a procedure for determining the relationship between the SS / PBCH block index and the PRACH opportunity according to one aspect of the present embodiment. FIG. 10 is an example when N is 2. In FIG. 10, SS / PBCH block indexes # 2 and # 5 are associated with PRACH opportunity 9001, SS / PBCH block indexes # 6 and # 2 are associated with PRACH opportunity 9002, and SS / PBCH block index # 5. # 6 is associated with PRACH opportunity 9003 and SS / PBCH block indexes # 2 and # 5 are associated with PRACH opportunity 9004.

As shown in FIG. 10, the terminal device 1 may cyclically associate the SS / PBCH block index with one or more PRACH opportunities during the association period. The cyclical association method may be given on the basis of some or all of the following steps 1 through 4.

Step 1 may include an operation of arranging the SS / PBCH block indexes included in the index pool 9005 in ascending order.

In step 1, an internal index IV may be added to the SS / _PBCH block indexes arranged in ascending order.

Step 2 may include an operation of selecting the first SS / PBCH block index from the index pool 9005. Further, when N is larger than 1, the operation of selecting from the first SS / PBCH block index to the Nth may be included. Here, the SS / PBCH block index is selected cyclically. Here, the head SS / PBCH block index is the SS / PBCH block index next to the SS / PBCH block index selected as the Nth in the operation of the previous step 2. Further, when the operation of step 2 this time is the first time, the first SS / PBCH block index is the smallest SS / PBCH block index included in the index pool 9005. Further, in the operation of step 2, the selection of the SS / PBCH block index is performed cyclically. For example, if the SS / PBCH block index selected as the Nth in the operation of the previous step 2 is the SS / PBCH block index # 6, the SS / PBCH block index selected as the Nth is next to the SS / PBCH block index. The SS / PBCH block index is the SS / PBCH block index # 2. If the SS / PBCH block index selected as the Nth in the operation of the previous step 2 is the SS / PBCH block index # 5, the SS / PBCH block index selected as the Nth is next to the SS / PBCH block index. The SS / PBCH block index is SS / PBCH block index # 6. Further, in the selection of the SS / PBCH block index this time, the SS / PBCH block index # 6 and N-1 SS / PBCH block indexes from the SS / PBCH block index # 2 are selected.

In step 2, the internal index I _v = mod ((in -1) * _N + 1, N ^SSB _TX ) ,. .. .. It may be an operation of selecting the SS / PBCH block index corresponding to each of I _v = mod ((in -1) * _N + N, N ^SSB _TX ). Here, in is an internal index that is _incremented after the operation of step 2 is executed. The _initial value of in is 0.

Step 3 includes the operation of assigning the N SS / PBCH block indexes selected in step 2 to one PRACH opportunity. Then select the next PRACH opportunity for that one PRACH opportunity. Here, the ordering of PRACH opportunities is based on the frequency first time second rule.

Step 4 includes an operation of determining the end of the procedure. If the one PRACH opportunity in step 3 is the last PRACH opportunity in the association period, the procedure is terminated. If the next PRACH opportunity of the one PRACH opportunity in step 3 is selected, the process returns to step 2.

For example, N _total / N random access preambles in one PRACH opportunity may be assigned to one SS / PBCH block index.

In FIG. 10, of the 64 random access preambles included in the PRACH opportunity 9001, N _total / N random access preambles from index 0 to index N _total / N-1 are assigned to SS / PBCH block # 2. You may. Also, of the 64 random access preambles included in the PRACH opportunity 9001, N _total / N random access preambles from index N _total / N to index 2 * N _total / N-1 are SS / PBCH block # 5. May be assigned to.

In FIG. 10, of the 64 random access preambles included in the PRACH opportunity 9002, N _total / N random access preambles from index 0 to index N _total / N-1 are assigned to SS / PBCH block # 6. You may. Also, of the 64 random access preambles included in the PRACH opportunity 9002, N _total / N random access preambles from index N _total / N to index 2 * N _total / N-1 are SS / PBCH block # 2. May be assigned to.

In FIG. 10, of the 64 random access preambles included in the PRACH opportunity 9003, N _total / N random access preambles from index 0 to index N _total / N-1 are assigned to SS / PBCH block # 5. You may. Also, of the 64 random access preambles included in the PRACH opportunity 9003, N _total / N random access preambles from index N _total / N to index 2 * N _total / N-1 are SS / PBCH block # 6. May be assigned to.

In FIG. 10, of the 64 random access preambles included in the PRACH opportunity 9004, N _total / N random access preambles from index 0 to index N _total / N-1 are assigned to SS / PBCH block # 2. You may. Also, of the 64 random access preambles included in the PRACH opportunity 9004, N _total / N random access preambles from index N _total / N to index 2 * N _total / N-1 are SS / PBCH block # 5. May be assigned to.

Thus, the allocation of random access preambles to the SS / PBCH block index may be determined based on at least one or both of N and N _total .

Of the N _total / N random access preambles assigned to a SS / PBCH block index in one PRACH opportunity, R random access preambles may be random access preambles for the CBRA. The terminal device 1 may determine a random access preamble for the CBRA based on at least R.

For example, the terminal device 1 has an index (n-1) * N _total / N out of the N _total / N random access preambles assigned to a certain SS / PBCH block index in one PRACH opportunity. 1) Random access preambles up to * N _total / N + R-1 may be determined to be random access preambles for CBRA. Here, n corresponds to the SS / PBCH block index selected as the nth of the N SS / PBCH block indexes selected for one PRACH opportunity. Further, the value of n is given in the range of 1 to N.

In CBRA, the terminal device 1 may select one of the random access preambles for CBRA among the random access preambles associated with a certain SS / PBCH block index. For example, the SS / PBCH block index may be indicated by the parameters of the upper layer. Also, the SS / PBCH block index may be indicated by the DCI format. Further, when the certain SS / PBCH block index is not notified by the radio signal transmitted from the base station device 3, one or more SS / PBCH blocks detected by the terminal device 1 are based on at least the reception strength. You may choose one.

In the wireless communication system according to one aspect of the present embodiment, if the PUSCH transmitted by the terminal device 1 located at the cell edge cannot be appropriately received by the base station device 3, an extended function of the PUSCH may be added. For example, by repeating the transmission of the PUSCH by the terminal device 1, the transmission power per modulation symbol transmitted by the PUSCH can be increased, and the performance is expected to be improved.

When the PUSCH is scheduled in the DCI format with the CRC sequence scrambled by C-RNTI for the terminal device 1 connected to the RRC, the base station device 3 has an extension function to the PUSCH for the terminal device 1. May be notified whether or not to add. The base station apparatus 3 may decide whether or not to add an extended function to the PUSCH based on the CSI reported by the terminal apparatus 1, the reception quality information based on the radio section measurement, and the like. For example, the reception quality information may be RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power).

On the other hand, for the terminal device 1 that is not connected to the RRC, the report from the terminal device 1 is not performed, or the base station device 3 cannot identify the terminal device 1, so that the terminal device 1 is used as a random access response grant. It may be difficult for the base station apparatus 3 to determine whether or not to add an extended function to the PUSCH scheduled based on the basis.

In the CBRA, the terminal device 1 may determine the SS / PBCH block index of the SS / PBCH block having the largest RSRP among the received one or a plurality of SS / PBCH blocks. Further, the terminal device 1 may determine whether or not the largest RSRP satisfies a predetermined condition. For example, the predetermined condition may be a condition based on a comparison between the highest RSRP and a predetermined threshold value. Further, the predetermined condition may be a condition based on whether or not the highest RSRP is larger than a predetermined threshold value. Further, the predetermined condition may be a condition based on whether or not the highest RSRP is smaller than a predetermined threshold value.

The terminal device 1 selects either a first set of random access preambles for the CBRA or a second set of random access preambles for the CBRA, depending on whether or not the predetermined conditions are met. You may. The first set of random access preambles for the CBRA may be the set selected if the predetermined conditions are not met. Further, the set of the second random access preamble for CBRA may be a set selected when the predetermined condition is satisfied. If the determination based on the predetermined condition is not made, the first set of random access preambles for CBRA may be selected.

The first random access preamble set corresponds to the first random access procedure. That is, when the execution of the first random access procedure is notified from the upper layer of the terminal device 1, one random access preamble may be selected from the set of the first random access preambles. The selected random access preamble may be transmitted at the selected PRACH opportunity.

The first random access procedure may be a four-step random access procedure.

The second random access preamble set corresponds to the second random access procedure. That is, when the execution of the second random access procedure is notified from the upper layer of the terminal device 1, one random access preamble may be selected from the set of the second random access preambles. The selected random access preamble may be transmitted at the selected PRACH opportunity.

The second random access procedure is a four-step random access and may be different from the first random access procedure. For example, the second random access procedure may be a method in which an extended function is added to the first random access procedure.

The first set of random access preambles for the CBRA may be determined based on the first RACH configuration information contained in the RRC message. The first RACH setting information is configured to include at least a part or all of the following R1 to R7.
R1) PRACH configuration index
R2) Number of frequency-multiplexed PRACH opportunities R3) Random access response window R4) Sum of random access preambles R5) Number of SS / PBCH blocks associated with one PRACH opportunity R6) Number of preambles for CBRA R7) Messages 3 transmission method

The PRACH setting index is an index used at least for determining a part or all of the index of the subframe in which the PRACH opportunity is arranged and the time arrangement of the PRACH in the slot (such as the first OFDM symbol index).

PRACH opportunities can be set in the frequency domain as many as the number of PRACH opportunities that are frequency-multiplexed.

The random access response window indicates a period (window) in which the terminal device 1 transmits the random access preamble and then monitors the random access response corresponding to the random access preamble.

The sum of the random access preambles indicates N _total .

The number of SS / PBCH blocks associated with one PRACH opportunity indicates N.

The number of preambles for CBRA indicates R.

The message 3 transmission method indicates whether or not modified recording is used as the transmission method used for the PUSCH of message 3.

The set of the second random access preamble for the CBRA may be determined based on the second RACH setting information contained in the RRC message. The second RACH setting information is configured to include at least a part or all of the following R1 to R7.

For example, the PRACH opportunity set for the first random access procedure and the PRACH opportunity set for the second random access procedure may share the same resource. Such a setting is also referred to as a first and second shared setting.

For example, different resources may be used for the PRACH opportunity set for the first random access procedure and at least a part of the PRACH opportunity set for the second random access procedure. Such settings are also referred to as first and second individual settings.

For example, in the first and second shared settings, the second RACH setting information may include at least the number R _x of preambles for the CBRA. The terminal device 1 has an index (n-1) * N _total / N + R to an index (n-1) out of N _total / N random access preambles assigned to a certain SS / PBCH block index in one PRACH opportunity. * N random access preambles up to _total / N + R + R _x -1 may be determined to be a set of second random access preambles for the CBRA.

For example, in the first and second individual settings, the terminal device 1 has an index (n-1) * N out of N _total / N random access preambles assigned to a certain SS / PBCH block index in one PRACH opportunity. Random access preambles from _total / N to index (n-1) * N _total / N + R-1 may be determined to be the second set of random access preambles for CBRA.

The terminal device 1 sets the first random access preamble for the CBRA, the second random access preamble for the CBRA, or the third random access preamble for the CBRA, based on condition 1. You may choose either.

Condition 1 may be given based on at least two thresholds associated with RSRP. For example, if the largest RSRP is between threshold A and threshold B, terminal device 1 may select the first set of random access preambles for CBRA. Also, if the largest RSRP is less than the threshold B, the terminal device 1 may select a second set of random access preambles for the CBRA. Also, if the largest RSRP is greater than the threshold A, the terminal device 1 may select a third set of random access preambles for the CBRA.

The third random access preamble set corresponds to the third random access procedure. That is, when the execution of the third random access procedure is notified from the upper layer of the terminal device 1, one random access preamble may be selected from the set of the third random access preamble. The selected random access preamble may be transmitted at the selected PRACH opportunity.

The third random access procedure may be a two-step random access procedure. In the two-step random access, the terminal device 1 transmits the message A to the base station device 3. Message A is composed of PRACH and PUSCH. Further, the base station apparatus 3 that has received the message A transmits the message B to the terminal apparatus 1. Message B is configured to include PDSCH.

The set of the third random access preamble for the CBRA may be determined based on the third RACH setting information contained in the RRC message. The third RACH setting information is configured to include at least a part or all of the following R1 to R7.

For example, the PRACH opportunity set for the first random access procedure and the PRACH opportunity set for the third random access procedure may share the same resource. Such a setting is also referred to as a first and third shared setting.

For example, different resources may be used for the PRACH opportunity set for the first random access procedure and at least a part of the PRACH opportunity set for the third random access procedure. Such settings are also referred to as first and third individual settings.

For example, in the first and third shared settings, the third RACH setting information may include at least the number _Rz of preambles for the CBRA. The terminal device 1 has an index (n-1) * N _total / N + R to an index (n-1) out of N _total / N random access preambles assigned to a certain SS / PBCH block index in one PRACH opportunity. * N random access preambles up to _total / N + R + R _z -1 may be determined to be a set of third random access preambles for the CBRA.

For example, the PRACH opportunity set for the first random access procedure, the PRACH opportunity set for the second random access procedure, and the PRACH opportunity set for the third random access procedure. , The same resource may be shared. Since the terminal device 1 is not always able to recognize the third random access procedure, the method of determining the set of the second random access preamble may be changed.

For example, in the first and second shared settings, the second RACH setting information may include at least the number R _x of preambles for the CBRA. The terminal device 1 has an index (n-1) * N _total / N + S _x to an index (n-1) out of N _total / N random access preambles assigned to a certain SS / PBCH block index in one PRACH opportunity. ) * N random access preambles up to _total / N + S _x + R _x -1 may be determined to be the second set of random access preambles for CBRA. Here, S _x may be indicated by a parameter included in the second RACH setting information.

For example, in the first and second shared settings, the second RACH setting information may include at least the number R _x of preambles for the CBRA. The terminal device 1 has a random access preamble from index n * S _y to index n * S _y + R _x -1 among N _total / N random access preambles assigned to a certain SS / PBCH block index in one PRACH opportunity. The access preamble may be determined to be a second set of random access preambles for the CBRA. Here, _Sy may be indicated by a parameter included in the second RACH setting information.

For example, in the first and second shared settings, the second RACH setting information may include at least the number _RY of preambles for the CBRA. The terminal device 1 has an index (n-1) * _RY + N _total to an index n * _RY + N among the N _total / N random access preambles assigned to a certain SS / PBCH block index in one PRACH opportunity. Random access preambles up to _total -1 may be determined to be a second set of random access preambles for CBRA.

For example, in the first and third individual settings, the terminal device 1 has an index (n-1) * N out of N _total / N random access preambles assigned to a certain SS / PBCH block index in one PRACH opportunity. Random access preambles from _total / N to index (n-1) * N _total / N + R-1 may be determined to be a set of third random access preambles for CBRA.

The terminal device 1 has a set of first random access preambles for CBRA, a set of second random access preambles for CBRA, a set of third random access preambles for CBRA, or a set of third random access preambles, based on condition 2. , You may choose any of the fourth set of random access preambles for CBRA.

The fourth random access preamble set corresponds to the fourth random access procedure. That is, when the execution of the fourth random access procedure is notified from the upper layer of the terminal device 1, one random access preamble may be selected from the set of the fourth random access preambles. The selected random access preamble may be transmitted at the selected PRACH opportunity.

The fourth random access procedure may be a method in which an extended function is added to the third random access procedure.

Condition 2 may be given at least based on two thresholds associated with RSRP. For example, the threshold value C may be used to switch between 4-step random access and 2-step random access. Further, the threshold value D may be used to switch whether or not the extended function is used in the random access procedure. For example, if the largest RSRP is greater than the threshold C, two-step random access may be selected. Further, when the largest RSRP is equal to the threshold value C, 2-step random access may be selected or 4-step random access may be selected. Further, if the largest RSRP is smaller than the threshold value C, 4-step random access may be selected.

For example, if two-step random access is selected based on threshold C, and if the largest RSRP is greater than threshold D, a third random access procedure may be selected. Further, if the largest RSRP is equal to the threshold value D, a third random access procedure or a fourth random access procedure may be selected. Also, if the largest RSRP is less than the threshold D, a fourth random access procedure may be selected.

For example, when 4-step random access is selected based on the threshold value C, and the largest RSRP is larger than the threshold value D, the first random access procedure may be selected. Further, if the largest RSRP is equal to the threshold value D, the first random access procedure or the second random access procedure may be selected. Also, if the largest RSRP is less than the threshold D, a second random access procedure may be selected.

The condition 2 may be given at least based on the three thresholds associated with RSRP. For example, the threshold value C may be used to switch between 4-step random access and 2-step random access. Further, the threshold value D1 may be used to switch whether or not the extended function is used in the 4-step random access procedure. Further, the threshold value D2 may be used to switch whether or not the extended function is used in the two-step random access procedure. For example, if the largest RSRP is greater than the threshold C, two-step random access may be selected. Further, when the largest RSRP is equal to the threshold value C, 2-step random access may be selected or 4-step random access may be selected. Further, if the largest RSRP is smaller than the threshold value C, 4-step random access may be selected.

For example, when two-step random access is selected based on the threshold value C, and the largest RSRP is larger than the threshold value D2, the third random access procedure may be selected. Further, if the largest RSRP is equal to the threshold value D2, a third random access procedure or a fourth random access procedure may be selected. Also, if the largest RSRP is less than the threshold D2, a fourth random access procedure may be selected.

For example, when 4-step random access is selected based on the threshold value C, and the largest RSRP is larger than the threshold value D1, the first random access procedure may be selected. Further, if the largest RSRP is equal to the threshold value D1, the first random access procedure or the second random access procedure may be selected. Also, if the largest RSRP is less than the threshold D1, a second random access procedure may be selected.

For example, in the first random access procedure, after the random access preamble is transmitted, the DCI format used for scheduling the PDSCH including the random access response may be monitored for a predetermined period. The predetermined period may be determined by the value indicated by the random access response window included in the first RACH setting information. The CRC sequence added to the DCI format is scrambled with RA-RNTI.

For example, if the DCI format is detected within the predetermined period, the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI format may be tried to be decoded. The PDSCH may include one or more random access responses. If the terminal device 1 finds a random access response containing information that matches the index of the random access preamble transmitted in the first random access procedure, the terminal device 1 is included in the found random access response. PUSCH scheduled by 1 random access response grant may be transmitted.

Here, the first random access response grant may include at least a time domain resource allocation field. Here, the time domain resource allocation field points to any of the columns included in the first TDRA (Time Domain Resource Assignment) table. The first TDRA table may contain one or more columns. The information corresponding to one column may include at least some or all of K2, SLIV (Start and Length Indicator Value), and DMRS mapping type. Here, K2 may be used to indicate the slot in which the PUSCH is transmitted. When the slot in which the PUSCH is transmitted is n, the random access response is transmitted in n-K2. The SLIV may be used to indicate the OFDM symbol at the beginning of the PUSCH in the slot and the length of the PUSCH. The DMRS mapping type may be used to indicate the type of DMRS arrangement for the PUSCH.

The first TDRA table does not have to use PUSCH repetition.

For example, in the second random access procedure, after the random access preamble is transmitted, the DCI format used for scheduling the PDSCH including the random access response may be monitored for a predetermined period. The predetermined period may be determined by the value indicated by the random access response window included in the second RACH setting information. If the second RACH setting information does not include the information indicating the random access response window, it may be determined by the value indicated by the random access response window included in the first RACH setting information. The CRC sequence added to the DCI format is scrambled with RA-RNTI.

For example, if the DCI format is detected within the predetermined period, the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI format may be tried to be decoded. The PDSCH may include one or more random access responses. If the terminal device 1 finds a random access response containing information that matches the index of the random access preamble transmitted in the first random access procedure, the terminal device 1 is included in the found random access response. The PUSCH scheduled by the random access response grant of 2 may be transmitted.

Here, the second random access response grant may include at least a time domain resource allocation field. Here, the time domain resource allocation field points to any of the columns contained in the second TDRA table. The second TDRA table may contain one or more columns. The information corresponding to one column may include at least some or all of K2, SLIV (Start and Length Indicator Value), and DMRS mapping type. Here, K2 may be used to indicate the slot in which the PUSCH is transmitted. When the slot in which the PUSCH is transmitted is n, the random access response is transmitted in n-K2. The SLIV may be used to indicate the OFDM symbol at the beginning of the PUSCH in the slot and the length of the PUSCH. The DMRS mapping type may be used to indicate the type of DMRS arrangement for the PUSCH.

The second TDRA table may be different from the first TDRA table.

For example, the second TDRA table may contain information used to determine the number of PUSCH iterations. For example, the second TDRA table may contain information indicating the number of times the PUSCH is repeated.

When the information corresponding to one column indicated by the time domain resource allocation field includes information indicating the number of times the PUSCH is repeated, K2 indicates the first slot among the plurality of slots to which the PUSCH is transmitted. May be used for.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of the first PUSCH repeat type according to one embodiment of the present embodiment. In FIG. 11, the horizontal axis indicates the time domain. Also, grid lines on the time domain indicate slot boundaries. Further, the time domain corresponding to the shaded block indicates that the time domain is a downlink. The fact that the time domain is a downlink indicates that the OFDM symbol included in the time domain is a downlink symbol. Further, the time domain corresponding to the white-painted block indicates that the time domain is a flexible region. The fact that the time domain is a flexible region indicates that the OFDM symbol included in the time domain is a flexible symbol. Further, the time domain corresponding to the block of the grid line indicates that the time domain is an uplink. The fact that the time domain is an uplink indicates that the OFDM symbol included in the time domain is an uplink symbol.

In FIG. 11, the PDSCH11000 including the random access response is transmitted in the downlink area. Further, the PUSCH scheduled by the random access response grant included in the random access response is assigned to PUSCH11001 to PUSCH11004. Here, the random access response grant shows that K2 is 2 and the number of repetitions of PUSCH is 4. As shown in FIG. 11, in the first PUSCH repeat type, the PUSCH may be repeatedly transmitted in a plurality of slots. Also, each of the repeatedly transmitted PUSCH resources may start from the same OFDM symbol in the slot. Also, each of the repeated PUSCH resources may be configured with the same number of OFDM symbols.

In the first PUSCH repeat type, whether or not PUSCH is transmitted may be determined based on a TDD (Time Division Duplex) pattern. For example, in a slot, transmission may not be performed on the PUSCH resource based on the fact that part or all of the set of OFDM symbols constituting the PUSCH resource is set to the downlink symbol by the TDD pattern. .. Further, in a certain slot, transmission may be performed in the resource of the PUSCH based on the fact that none of the OFDM symbols of the set of OFDM symbols constituting the resource of the PUSCH by the TDD pattern is set as the downlink symbol.

TDD pattern is a general term for the first TDD pattern setting, the second TDD pattern setting, and the third TDD pattern setting.

The first TDD pattern setting may be provided by the first TDD pattern setting information included in the RRC message. The first TDD pattern setting information may include a part or all of T1 to T6.

T2) Slot setting cycle P
T3) Number of downlink slots d _slots
T4) Number of uplink slots u _sym
T5) Number of downlink symbols d _sym
T6) Number of uplink symbols u _sym

The reference subcarrier spacing _uref indicates the subcarrier spacing used to determine the configuration of the slots T2 to T6.

Based on the slot setting cycle P, the cycle of the pattern determined by a part or all of T3 to T6 is determined. The number S of slots included in one cycle of the pattern is given by S = P * 2 ^ u _ref . In the first TDD pattern setting, the pattern may be repeated based on the period of the pattern.

The number of downlink slots d _slot indicates that the OFDM symbol included in the first d _slot of the S slots is a downlink symbol.

The number of uplink slots u _slot indicates that the OFDM symbol included in the rear us _slot of the S slots is an uplink symbol.

The number of downlink symbols d _sym indicates that the d _sym OFDM symbols after d _slot from the beginning of the S slot are downlink symbols.

The number of uplink symbols u _sim indicates that the us _ym OFDM symbols from the rear of the S slot to the front of the d _slot are uplink symbols.

That is, among the S slots, d _slot * N ^slot _symb + d _sym OFDM symbols from the beginning may be downlink symbols. Further, among the S slots, u _slot * N ^slot _symb + us _ym OFDM symbols from the rear may be uplink symbols. _Further , the OFDM symbols that are not downlink symbols and are not uplink _symbols- (d _slot * N ^slot _symb + d _sym + u _slot * N ^{slot symb} + u _sym ) may be flexible symbols. ..

If the first TDD pattern setting information is not provided, the first TDD pattern setting may include only the flexible area.

The first TDD pattern setting information may include information for setting the pattern 2. The information for setting the pattern 2 includes at least a part or all of T3 to T6. When the pattern 2 is set, the pattern may be configured to periodically repeat the pattern in which the pattern and the pattern 2 are combined.

The second pattern setting may be provided by the second pattern setting information included in the RRC message. The second pattern setting information includes one or more setting information for each slot. Each of the slot-specific setting information may include information indicating the slot index and slot setting information.

The information indicating the slot index included in the setting information for each slot may specify the slot to which the setting based on the slot setting information included in the setting information for each slot is applied. The information indicating the slot index may indicate the slot index in the S slot.

The slot setting information may indicate any of the first setting, the second setting, and the third setting. The first setting may be a setting indicating that the OFDM symbol included in the slot specified by the information indicating the slot index is a downlink symbol. The second setting may be a setting indicating that the OFDM symbol included in the slot specified by the information indicating the slot index is an uplink symbol. The third setting may indicate the number of downlink symbols in the slot d _sym2 and the number of uplink symbols in the slot u _sym2 . In the third setting, the first two _dsym OFDM symbols of the slot specified by the information indicating the slot index may be downlink symbols. In the third setting, the two _usym OFDM symbols behind the slot identified by the information indicating the slot index may be uplink symbols. In the third setting, among the slots specified by the information indicating the slot index, the OFDM symbol that is neither the downlink symbol nor the uplink symbol may be a flexible symbol.

The OFDM symbol set as the downlink symbol in the first TDD pattern setting does not have to be set as the uplink symbol in the second TDD pattern setting. Further, the OFDM symbol set as the uplink symbol in the first TDD pattern setting may not be set as the downlink symbol in the second TDD pattern setting.

For example, if the terminal device 1 is provided with a first TDD pattern setting and a second TDD pattern setting, a second TDD pattern setting is provided for the PUSCH scheduled by the first random access response grant. It may be determined whether or not transmission is performed in the resource of PUSCH in each slot by referring to. Here, for example, when a part or all of the set of OFDM symbols constituting the resource of the PUSCH of a certain slot is set to at least the downlink by the second TDD pattern setting, transmission is performed in the resource. It does not have to be. Further, if none of the sets of OFDM symbols constituting the resource of the PUSCH in a certain slot is set to the downlink by the second TDD pattern setting, transmission may be performed in the resource.

For example, when the terminal device 1 is provided with the first TDD pattern setting and the second TDD pattern setting, the first TDD pattern setting is made for the PUSCH scheduled by the second random access response grant. It may be determined whether or not transmission is performed in the resource of PUSCH in each slot by referring to. Here, for example, when a part or all of the set of OFDM symbols constituting the resource of the PUSCH of a certain slot is set to at least the downlink by the first TDD pattern setting, transmission is performed in the resource. It does not have to be. Further, if none of the sets of OFDM symbols constituting the resource of the PUSCH in a certain slot is set to the downlink by the first TDD pattern setting, transmission may be performed in the resource.

For example, the first PUSCH repeat type is applied to the PUSCH where the first TDD pattern setting and the second TDD pattern setting are provided for the terminal device 1 and are scheduled by the second random access response grant. If so, it may be determined whether or not transmission is performed in the PUSCH resource in each slot with reference to the first TDD pattern setting. For example, if part or all of the set of OFDM symbols constituting the resource of the PUSCH in a certain slot is set to at least the downlink by the first TDD pattern setting, even if transmission is not performed in the resource. good. Further, if none of the sets of OFDM symbols constituting the resource of the PUSCH in a certain slot is set to the downlink by the first TDD pattern setting, transmission may be performed in the resource.

For example, the first PUSCH repeat type is applied to the PUSCH where the first TDD pattern setting and the second TDD pattern setting are provided for the terminal device 1 and are scheduled by the second random access response grant. If not, it may be determined whether or not transmission is performed in the PUSCH resource in each slot with reference to the second TDD pattern setting. For example, if part or all of the set of OFDM symbols constituting the resource of the PUSCH in a certain slot is set to at least the downlink by the second TDD pattern setting, even if transmission is not performed in the resource. good. Further, if none of the sets of OFDM symbols constituting the resource of the PUSCH in a certain slot is set to the downlink by the second TDD pattern setting, transmission may be performed in the resource.

For example, the first PUSCH repeat type is applied to the PUSCH where the first TDD pattern setting and the second TDD pattern setting are provided for the terminal device 1 and are scheduled by the second random access response grant. And when reporting the C-RNTI to the base station apparatus 3 by the PUSCH, it may be determined whether or not transmission is performed in the resource of the PUSCH in each slot by referring to the first TDD pattern setting. .. For example, if part or all of the set of OFDM symbols constituting the resource of the PUSCH in a certain slot is set to at least the downlink by the first TDD pattern setting, even if transmission is not performed in the resource. good. Further, if none of the sets of OFDM symbols constituting the resource of the PUSCH in a certain slot is set to the downlink by the first TDD pattern setting, transmission may be performed in the resource.

For example, the first PUSCH repeat type is applied to the PUSCH where the first TDD pattern setting and the second TDD pattern setting are provided for the terminal device 1 and are scheduled by the second random access response grant. And if the PUSCH does not report the C-RNTI to the base station apparatus 3, it may be determined whether or not transmission is performed in the resources of the PUSCH in each slot by referring to the second TDD pattern setting. .. For example, if part or all of the set of OFDM symbols constituting the resource of the PUSCH in a certain slot is set to at least the downlink by the second TDD pattern setting, even if transmission is not performed in the resource. good. Further, if none of the sets of OFDM symbols constituting the resource of the PUSCH in a certain slot is set to the downlink by the second TDD pattern setting, transmission may be performed in the resource.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of the second PUSCH repeat type according to one embodiment of the present embodiment. In FIG. 12, the horizontal axis indicates the time domain. Also, grid lines on the time domain indicate slot boundaries. Further, the time domain corresponding to the shaded block indicates that the time domain is a downlink. Further, the time domain corresponding to the white-painted block indicates that the time domain is a flexible region. Further, the time domain corresponding to the block of the grid line indicates that the time domain is an uplink.

In FIG. 12, the PDSCH12000 including the random access response is transmitted in the downlink area. Further, the PUSCH scheduled by the random access response grant included in the random access response is assigned to PUSCH12001 to PUSCH12008. Here, the random access response grant shows that K2 is 2 and the number of repetitions of PUSCH is 8. As shown in FIG. 12, in the second PUSCH repeat type, the resources of the PUSCH may be continuously arranged. Each of the PUSCH resources shown in FIG. 12 is also referred to as a Nominal repetition.

The PUSCH of nominal repetition as shown in FIG. 12 may set the resource of actual repetition based on the TDD pattern setting. The terminal device 1 may transmit the PUSCH using the resource of the actual repetition set based on the TDD pattern setting.

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of setting an actual repeating resource according to one embodiment of the present embodiment. Since the set of OFDM symbols constituting PUSCH12001 in FIG. 12 does not include the downlink symbol, the resource of the nominal repetition of PUSCH12001 is set as the resource of the actual repetition. PUSCH12002, PUSCH12006, PUSCH12007, and PUSCH12008 are the same as PUSCH12001. That is, the resource may be set as an actual repeat resource based on the fact that the set of OFDM symbols that make up the nominal repeat resource does not include the downlink symbol.

In FIG. 13, since the set of OFDM symbols constituting PUSCH12003 includes only the downlink symbol, the resource of the nominal repetition of PUSCH1203 does not have to be configured as the resource of the actual repetition. PUSCH12004 is the same as PUSCH12003. That is, based on the fact that the set of OFDM symbols that make up a nominal repeat resource contains only downlink symbols, that resource does not have to be set as an actual repeat resource.

In FIG. 13, since the set of OFDM symbols constituting PUSCH1205 includes the downlink symbol and the flexible symbol, the resource in the flexible region among the resources of PUSCH12005 is set as the resource for actual repetition. That is, based on the fact that the set of OFDM symbols constituting the resource of the nominal repetition includes the downlink symbol and the symbol other than the downlink symbol, the resource excluding the OFDM symbol of the downlink symbol may be set as the actual repetition.

Symbols other than the downlink symbol are a general term for flexible symbols and uplink symbols.

For example, if the terminal device 1 is provided with a first TDD pattern setting and a second TDD pattern setting, a second TDD pattern setting is provided for the PUSCH scheduled by the first random access response grant. You may decide the resource of the actual iteration by referring to. Here, for example, if the second TDD pattern setting sets all of the sets of OFDM symbols that make up a nominal iteration to at least the downlink, the resource may not be set as a resource for the actual iteration. .. Further, when the set of OFDM symbols constituting the certain nominal repetition includes a downlink symbol and a symbol other than the downlink symbol by the second TDD pattern setting, a resource composed of the symbols other than the downlink symbol. May be set as a resource for actual repetition.
