  • Patent number: 11956776
    Abstract: A terminal apparatus includes: a reception unit which receives, from a base station apparatus, a physical downlink control channel including downlink control information in a search space specific to the terminal apparatus; and a control unit which determines the number of bits of a time domain resource allocation field in the downlink control information. The time domain resource allocation field is a time domain resource allocation field for a physical downlink shared channel. A default table indicates a time domain resource allocation configuration for the physical downlink shared channel. When a parameter is not received, the number of bits of the time domain resource allocation field is determined based on the number of the in the default table.

  • Patent number: 11925854
    Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus that is to be connected to a controller apparatus including a push-button, a force sense presentation section, and the push-button. The push-button moves between a first position and a second position when depressed by a finger of a user. The force sense presentation section presents a force sense to the push-button. The information processing apparatus determines, according to a prescribed force sense setting, the aspect of a force sense to be imparted to the push-button, and controls the force sense presentation section of the controller apparatus, according to the determination. Each time a predefined operation is performed, the information processing apparatus changes the force sense setting from a current force sense setting to a different force sense setting.
