  • Publication number: 20220191912
    Abstract: A terminal apparatus and a base station apparatus efficiently communicate with each other. A terminal apparatus receives a first DCI and determines transmission of a first PUSCH. The first PUSCH is scheduled by the first DCI, a value of a first PUSCH procedure preparation time for the first PUSCH is a first value in a case that a first condition is not satisfied, and the value of the first PUSCH procedure preparation time is a value acquired by adding a second value to the first value in a case that the first condition is satisfied. The terminal apparatus determines the transmission of the first PUSCH in a case that a number of symbols between the first DCI and the first PUSCH is equal to or greater than a number of symbols corresponding to the value of the first PUSCH procedure preparation time.

  • Patent number: 11336329
    Abstract: A terminal apparatus includes a receiver and a transmitter. The receiver is configured to receive a radio resource control (RRC) parameter and a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) including a downlink control information (DCI) format and scheduling a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). The transmitter is configured to transmit the PUSCH with frequency hopping within one slot. The RRC parameter indicates one or a plurality of frequency offset values. The PUSCH includes a first frequency hop and a second frequency hop within the one slot. In a case that a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled with or other than a temporary cell-radio network temporary identifier (TC-RNTI) is added to the DCI format, a frequency offset between the first frequency hop and the second frequency hop is based on a size of an initial uplink (UL) bandwidth part (BWP) or the RRC parameter, respectively.
