  • Publication number: 20160234833
    Abstract: A terminal communicates with a base station and 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 at least a value of a first control channel element used for transmitting a corresponding physical downlink control channel or a corresponding extended physical downlink control channel, in a subframe n-k. The physical uplink control channel resource is given by a first arithmetic operation when a value of the element k is the same as a value of an element in a first set. The physical uplink control channel resource is given by a second arithmetic operation when a value of the element k is the same as a value of an element in a second set.
