  • Publication number: 20220029659
    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.

  • Publication number: 20220014235
    Abstract: In a case of configuring multiple configured grants, signal detection in a base station apparatus is efficiently performed. For configured grant scheduling, by configuring a plurality of time offset values, multiple transmission opportunities are generated. To each of the transmission opportunities, a slot retransmission is applied. In a case that multiple transmission patterns are generated due to the plurality of time offsets, transmission is performed by using a transmission pattern, among the multiple transmission patterns, that causes the number of remaining retransmissions to increase.
