  • Publication number: 20220304064
    Abstract: A terminal apparatus includes: a receiver configured to receive an SS/PBCH block in an SS/PBCH block candidate; and a transmitter configured to transmit one random access preamble selected in a PRACH occasion. The terminal apparatus determines the PRACH occasion, based on a relationship between qSSB and the PRACH occasion. The qSSB is given by one of a remainder obtained by dividing tSSB by QSSB or a remainder obtained by dividing dSSB by QSSB. The tSSB is a timing index of the SS/PBCH block candidate. The dSSB indicates an index of a DMRS for a PBCH in the SS/PBCH block. The QSSB indicates a number included in an MIB in the PBCH.

  • 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.
