  • Patent number: 11706778
    Abstract: A mobile station (MS) communicates with a base station (BS) by a carrier aggregation using a plurality of downlink component carriers (DCCs). The MS receives on one or more activated DCCs. The MS receives using a PDCCH on one of activated DCCs, from the BS, first information including an information field for requesting a transmission of channel state information (CSI), the first information being used for scheduling of a PUSCH. The MS transmits using the PUSCH in a first subframe on an uplink component carrier, to the BS, first CSI for more than one activated DCCs. The MS transmits using the PUSCH in a second subframe on the uplink component carrier, to the BS, second CSI for only one activated downlink component carrier. The transmission of the second CSI is scheduled by the first information received using the PDCCH on the only one activated downlink component carrier.

  • Patent number: 11696323
    Abstract: Uplink communication is efficiently performed in non-allocated frequencies. The terminal apparatus includes: a reception unit configured to receive downlink control information on a PDCCH; and a transmission unit configured to transmit a random access preamble. For a first frame structure type, the downlink control information is used to configure a subframe number of a first uplink subframe in which transmission of the random access preamble is allowed. For a second frame structure type, the downlink control information is used to configure a subframe number of a second uplink subframe in which transmission of the random access preamble is allowed and a symbol number of an uplink symbol in the second uplink subframe.

  • Publication number: 20230180260
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is described. The UE may comprise higher layer processing circuitry configured to acquire first radio resource control (RRC) information and second RRC information. The first RRC information may indicate a search space set for a detection of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) with downlink control information (DCI) format 2_0. The DCI format 2_0 may include a field for indicating a channel occupancy duration. The second information may configure a Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS). The UE may also comprise receiving circuitry configured to monitor the PDCCH with the DCI format 2_0. If a set of symbol(s) is indicated as not being within the channel occupancy duration by a value of the field in the DCI format 2_0, the PDCCH may be monitored on the set of symbol(s) and the CSI-RS may not be received on the set of symbol(s).
