  • Publication number: 20240155610
    Abstract: A terminal apparatus includes a reception circuitry that receives a PDCCH including a DCI format; and a transmission circuitry that transmits a PUCCH. The DCI format indicates transmission of the PUCCH. In a case that a first higher layer parameter NrofSlots indicating the number of repetitions is configured for a PUCCH format corresponding to the transmission of the PUCCH, the number of repetitions of the transmission of the PUCCH is determined based on the first higher layer parameter. In a case that the number of repetitions per transmission of the PUCCH is indicated to be valid for the transmission of the PUCCH based on a second higher layer parameter, the number of repetitions of the transmission of the PUCCH is determined based on a value set in a PUCCH-RepetitionFactor field for the transmission of the PUCCH, included in the DCI format.
