  • Publication number: 20230093299
    Abstract: Provided is a transmitter configured to transmit a PUCCH by applying a transmission filter based on any one piece of spatial relation information of a spatial relation information set, and transmit a PUSCH in a slot set by applying multiple transmission filters respectively based on multiple pieces of spatial relation information included in a spatial relation information subset of the spatial relation information set. The spatial relation information subset at least includes first spatial relation information and second spatial relation information different from the first spatial relation information. The transmitter applies a transmission filter of the multiple transmission filters based on the first spatial relation information to the PUSCH of a first slot subset of the slot set. The transmitter applies a transmission filter of the multiple transmission filters based on the second spatial relation information to the PUSCH of a second slot subset of the slot set.

  • Publication number: 20230072973
    Abstract: A terminal apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive a PDCCH including DCI triggering a Type-3 HARQ-ACK codebook, and a transmitter configured to transmit a PUCCH including the Type-3 HARQ-ACK codebook triggered. A slot in which the PUCCH is transmitted is provided based on K1 obtained based on a PDSCH-to-HARQ_feedback timing indicator field included in the DCI. In a case that the DCI schedules a PDSCH, the PUCCH is transmitted the K1 slots after a slot in which the PDSCH is received. In a case that the DCI does not schedule a PDSCH, the PDCCH is transmitted in a slot after slots corresponding to the K1 from a slot in which the PDCCH is received.
