Terminal and communication method

Abstract

A terminal includes a reception unit configured to receive downlink data scheduled by SPS (Semi-Persistent Scheduling); a control unit configured to perform postponement of HARQ-ACK (Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest-ACKnowledgement) corresponding to the downlink data, a maximum postponement period being configured to the postponement; and a transmission unit configured to transmit an uplink control channel that carries uplink control information including the HARQ-ACK via a resource determined based on the postponement of the HARQ-ACK. The control unit performs carrier switching of the uplink control channel as necessary, and determines whether the postponement of the HARQ-ACK exceeds the maximum postponement period, based on a subcarrier spacing of: a cell before performing the carrier switching; a cell after performing the carrier switching; or a cell indicated by a semi-static cell pattern.
