    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is described. The UE may comprise high-layer processing circuitry configured to acquire a RRC parameter and transmission circuitry configured to transmit a PUSCH in multiple slots. The RRC parameter may indicate that the multiple slots are determined according to slots which are available for transmission(s) of the PUSCH. If the RRC parameter is not provided, processing time for canceling a transmission of the PUSCH may be required to be shorter than or equal to a first length. If the RRC parameter is provided, the processing time for canceling a transmission of the PUSCH may be required to be shorter than or equal to a second length. The second length is longer than the first length.

  • 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.
