  • Publication number: 20230067648
    Abstract: A terminal apparatus includes a reception circuitry configured to receive a DCI format used for scheduling of a PUSCH, and a transmission circuitry configured to transmit the PUSCH in multiple slots. A size of a transport block is given based on a target coding rate indicated by the DCI format. The target coding rate is 1 or greater. An effective coding rate of the PUSCH is 1 or less. The effective coding rate is a value obtained by dividing the size of the transport block by a product of a modulation order of the PUSCH and the number of resource elements of the PUSCH.
