Abstract

A user equipment (UE) is described. The UE includes receiving circuitry configured to receive a radio resource control message including first information used for configuring a number of repetitions and a periodicity, the number of the repetitions being for transmissions of a transport block (TB). The receiving circuitry receives a radio resource control message including second information used for configuring a monitoring occasion for a symbol. The receiving circuitry monitors a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) with cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled by a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI). The receiving circuitry monitors a second PDCCH with CRC scrambled by a second RNTI different from the C-RNTI. The UE also includes transmitting circuitry configured to perform on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), based on the first information, transmissions of the TB.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
receiving circuitry configured to receive a first radio resource control message including first information used for configuring a number of repetitions,
the receiving circuitry being configured to receive a second radio resource control message including second information used for configuring a time domain occasion for a symbol where the UE monitors an uplink grant with cyclic redundancy check scrambled by a first radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) in a UE-specific search space, wherein the first RNTI is different from a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) and,
the receiving circuitry being configured to monitor in the UE-specific search space, based on the second information, the uplink grant with the cyclic redundancy check scrambled by the first RNTI; and
transmitting circuitry configured to perform, based on a detection of the uplink grant with the cyclic redundancy check scrambled by the first RNTI, a transmission on a physical uplink shared channel according to the first information.

2. A base station apparatus comprising:
transmitting circuitry configured to transmit a first radio resource control message including first information used for configuring a number of repetitions,
the transmitting circuitry being configured to transmit a second radio resource control message including second information used for configuring a time domain occasion for a symbol where a user equipment (UE) monitors an uplink grant with cyclic redundancy check scrambled by a first radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) in a UE-specific search space, wherein the first RNTI is different from a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) and,
the transmitting circuitry being configured to transmit in the UE-specific search space, based on the second information, the uplink grant with the cyclic redundancy check scrambled by the first RNTI; and
receiving circuitry configured to receive, based on the transmission of the uplink grant with the cyclic redundancy check scrambled by the first RNTI, a transmission on a physical uplink shared channel according to the first information.

3. A communication method of a user equipment (UE) comprising:
receiving a first radio resource control message including first information used for configuring a number of repetitions,
receiving a second radio resource control message including second information used for configuring a time domain occasion for a symbol where the UE monitors an uplink grant with cyclic redundancy check scrambled by a first radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) in a UE-specific search space, wherein the first RNTI is different from a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI);
monitoring in the UE-specific search space, based on the second information, the uplink grant with the cyclic redundancy check scrambled by the first RNTI; and
performing, based on a detection of the uplink grant with the cyclic redundancy check scrambled by the first RNTI, a transmission on a physical uplink shared channel according to the first information.

4. A communication method of a base station apparatus comprising:
transmitting a first radio resource control message including first information used for configuring a number of repetitions;
transmitting a second radio resource control message including second information used for configuring a time domain occasion for a symbol where a user equipment (UE) monitors an uplink grant with cyclic redundancy check scrambled by a first radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) in a UE-specific search space, wherein the first RNTI is different from a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI);
transmitting in the UE-specific search space, based on the second information, the uplink grant with the cyclic redundancy check scrambled by the first RNTI; and
receiving, based on the transmission of the uplink grant with the cyclic redundancy check scrambled by the first RNTI, a transmission on a physical uplink shared channel according to the first information.
