  • Publication number: 20220140984
    Abstract: A terminal apparatus that includes: a receiving portion for receiving a PDSCH including a transport block; and a transmitting portion for transmitting, on a PUCCH, HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the transport block. The PDSCH is allocated to first resources other than second resources. The second resources are used for one or more SS/PBCH blocks when an nth bit of a higher layer parameter is set to a specific value. The nth bit corresponds to the one or more SS/PBCH blocks, where each of the one or more SS/PBCH blocks has a first index corresponding to (n?1). The first index is determined by a remainder acquired by dividing a second index by a value indicated by a PBCH in each of the one or more SS/PBCH blocks. The second index is notified based on at least a reference signal of the PBCH in each of the one or more SS/PBCH blocks.
