Abstract
A terminal includes: a control unit configured not to expect that a cell discontinuous reception and a transmission of repetitions of an uplink control channel are to be simultaneously configured and enabled, and not to expect that an uplink control channel resource with a number of repetitions of transmission is to be selected in a case where the cell discontinuous reception is configured and enabled, the number being greater than one; and a transmission unit configured to transmit an uplink control channel based on the expectation.
Claims6
A terminal comprising:
- a control unit configured not to expect that a cell discontinuous reception and a transmission of repetitions of an uplink control channel are to be simultaneously configured and enabled, and not to expect that an uplink control channel resource with a number of repetitions of transmission is to be selected in a case where the cell discontinuous reception is configured and enabled, the number being greater than one;
- and
- a transmission unit configured to transmit an uplink control channel, based on the expectation.
A terminal comprising:
- a control unit configured not to expect that a cell discontinuous reception and a transmission of repetitions of an uplink control channel are to be simultaneously configured and enabled, and not to expect that the cell discontinuous reception is to be configured or enabled in a case where an uplink control channel resource with a number of repetitions of transmission being greater than one (1) is configured;
- and
- a transmission unit configured to transmit an uplink control channel, based on the expectation.
A terminal comprising:
- a control unit configured to simultaneously configure or enable cell discontinuous reception and transmission of repetitions of an uplink control channel;
- and
- a transmission unit configured to perform transmission in a next available transmission occasion by postponing transmission of the uplink control channel in a case where an uplink control channel resource is overlapped with an inactive period of the cell discontinuous reception.
A terminal comprising:
- a control unit configured to simultaneously configure or enable cell discontinuous reception and transmission of repetitions of an uplink control channel;
- and
- a transmission unit configured to drop transmission of the uplink control channel in a case where an uplink control channel resource is overlapped with an inactive period of the cell discontinuous reception.
A base station comprising:
- a control unit configured to simultaneously configure or enable cell discontinuous reception and transmission of repetitions of an uplink control channel;
- and
- a reception unit configured to perform reception of the uplink control channel transmitted by a terminal in a next available transmission occasion in a case where an uplink control channel resource is overlapped with an inactive period of the cell discontinuous reception.
A communication method performed by a terminal, the communication method comprising:
- expecting that a cell discontinuous reception and a transmission of repetitions of an uplink control channel are to be simultaneously configured and enabled, and, in a case where the cell discontinuous reception is configured and enabled, expecting that the cell discontinuous reception is to be configured or enabled in a case where an uplink control channel resource with a number of repetitions of transmission being greater than one (1) is configured;
- and
- performing transmission in a next available transmission occasion by postponing transmission of the uplink control channel in a case where an uplink control channel resource is overlapped with an inactive period of the cell discontinuous reception.
