  • Patent number: 11690053
    Abstract: Provided is a terminal apparatus that, when two terminals having mutually different subframe structure patterns are coexistent, can suppress DCI scheduling constraints of those terminals in a base station. In a terminal, a signal separation unit separates, from a received signal, both a response signal assigned to a first resource determined on the basis of a number of resources associated with the first subframes in which the signal was received and downstream control information assigned to a second resource. It should be noted that at a timing when both a first structure pattern that has been set in the terminal and a second structure pattern that has been set in another terminal that cannot change the setting of the structure pattern are the first subframes, the signal separation unit uses a number of resources associated with the first subframes of the second structure pattern.
