  • Patent number: 11265138
    Abstract: A terminal apparatus capable of efficiently performing the uplink and/or downlink communication is provided. The terminal apparatus receives higher layer signaling used for configuration of multiple scheduling request configurations, and transmits HARQ-ACK bits and scheduling request bits by using a HARQ-ACK PUCCH resource. Each of the multiple scheduling request configurations corresponds to one or more logical channels. Each of the multiple scheduling request configurations includes an SR PUCCH resource. The scheduling request bits are added to a sequence of the HARQ-ACK bits. In a case that the HARQ-ACK PUCCH resource and SR PUCCH resource overlap with each other in a time domain, a size of the scheduling request bits is given based on a number of scheduling request configurations with the overlapping SR PUCCH resource.
