  • Patent number: 11910425
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a user equipment (UE) which comprises a transmitter, which transmits a signal to a base station over a channel, wherein the signal is transmitted based on an initial channel quality information indicating a first channel quality of the channel. A receiver of the UE receives a transmission quality information indicating a second channel quality of the channel used for transmitting the signal. A processing circuitry of the UE estimates a transmission quality based on the initial channel quality information and the transmission quality information, wherein the transmission quality indicates whether the transmission of the signal over the channel was successful or not.

  • Publication number: 20240049247
    Abstract: Disclosed is an integrated circuit to control a process for a terminal. The process includes: receiving downlink control information and downlink data; determining, based on the downlink control information and an offset, a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource used for transmission of a response signal for the downlink data; and transmitting the response signal using the determined PUCCH resource. A first offset is used as the offset when the terminal is configured in a coverage enhancement mode, in which the response signal is allowed to be transmitted repeatedly for one of plural repetition levels in a plurality of subframes, where the first offset is configured for each of the plural repetition levels. The first offset is different from a second offset, which is used when the terminal is not configured in the coverage enhancement mode.
