  • Publication number: 20210282124
    Abstract: A mobile station (MS) communicates with a base station (BS) by a carrier aggregation using a plurality of downlink component carriers (DCCs). The MS receives on one or more activated DCCs. The MS receives using a PDCCH on one of activated DCCs, from the BS, first information including an information field for requesting a transmission of channel state information (CSI), the first information being used for scheduling of a PUSCH. The MS transmits using the PUSCH in a first subframe on an uplink component carrier, to the BS, first CSI for more than one activated DCCs. The MS transmits using the PUSCH in a second subframe on the uplink component carrier, to the BS, second CSI for only one activated downlink component carrier. The transmission of the second CSI is scheduled by the first information received using the PDCCH on the only one activated downlink component carrier.

The second PDCCH is a PDCCH of which detection indicates a transmission of a PDSCH on the LAA cell. A reference signal receiver is configured to receive reference signals of which resource element position within the subframe is determined depending on the occupied-OFDM-symbol configuration. A shared channel receiver is configured to receive the PDSCH assuming the same antenna port is used as for the reference signals.
