  • Publication number: 20200389873
    Abstract: A terminal apparatus receives RRC information indicating a maximum number of CBGs X per transport block, and transmits a HARQ-ACK corresponding to a PDSCH. The transport block is segmented into multiple code blocks. CBGs are categorized into an empty CBG and a non-empty CBG. The empty CBG is a CBG including no code block. The non-empty CBG is a CBG including at least one code block. A CBG group includes more than one of the CBGs. In a case that all the CBGs included in the CBG group belong to the empty CBG, a NACK is generated for each of the CBGs belonging to the empty CBG. In a case that the CBG group includes at least one CBG of the CBGs belonging to the empty CBG and at least one CBG of the CBGs belonging to the non-empty CBG, a NACK is not generated for the at least one CBG of the CBGs belonging to the empty CBG. The CBG group includes more than one of the CBGs. HARQ-ACKs for CBGs corresponding to the CBG group are generated as one bundled HARQ-ACK.
