  • Patent number: 9887810
    Abstract: A terminal includes a transmission unit which transmits HARQ response information to transmission of a downlink-shared channel in one or more predetermined subframes based on resources of one or more uplink control channels. When a certain subframe in the predetermined subframes is a first subframe, a resource of an uplink control channel is given by an arithmetic operation using at least an initial value of a control channel element for use in transmitting a physical downlink control channel in the certain subframe and a first value configured by a higher layer. When a certain subframe in the predetermined subframes is a second subframe, a resource of an uplink control channel is given by an arithmetic operation using at least an initial value of a control channel element for use in transmitting a physical downlink control channel in the certain subframe and a second value configured by a higher layer.

  • Patent number: 9848438
    Abstract: A terminal includes a transmission unit that transmits a physical uplink control channel by using a physical uplink control channel resource for transmitting HARQ-ACK, in a subframe n. The physical uplink control channel resource is given by a value of a first control channel element used for transmitting the corresponding physical downlink control channel or the corresponding extended physical downlink control channel, in at least a subframe n-k. The element k is included only in a first set defined by a first table, in a case where the terminal is not configured with a higher layer parameter. The element k is given based on the first set defined by the first table and a second set defined by a second table, in a case where the terminal is configured with the higher layer parameter.

  • Patent number: 9838974
    Abstract: A terminal device that communicates with a base station apparatus includes a transmission unit that transmits a channel and/or a signal based on a maximum output power in a first cell group in a certain subframe. In a case where information relating to uplink transmission in the second cell group is recognized, a residual power is allocated based on a priority level of a type of uplink transmission. The residual power is given by subtracting a power that is determined based on uplink transmission in the first cell group and a power that is determined based on the uplink transmission in the second cell group from a sum of maximum output powers of the terminal device. The maximum output power is a sum of the power that is determined based on the uplink transmission in the first cell group and a power that is allocated to the first cell group, of the residual power.
