Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A terminal is disclosed including a processor that controls a period to hold an uplink control information (UCI) based on information provided by a downlink control information (DCI) and a transmitter that transmits multiple UCIs, including the UCI held in the period, together. In other aspects, a radio communication method for a terminal and a base station are also disclosed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A terminal comprising: a receiver that receives a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and a second PDSCH subsequent to the first PDSCH; a processor that controls a period to hold an uplink control information (UCI) corresponding to the first PDSCH based on first information provided by a first downlink control information (DCI) that schedules the first PDSCH and on second information provided by a second DCI that schedules the second PDSCH; and a transmitter that transmits multiple UCIs, including the UCI held in the period, together. 2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitter transmits the multiple UCIs in a cell in which listening is performed before uplink transmission. 3. A radio communication method for a terminal, comprising: receiving a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and a second PDSCH subsequent to the first PDSCH; controlling a period to hold an uplink control information corresponding to the first PDSCH (UCI) based on first information provided by a first downlink control information (DCI) that schedules the first PDSCH and on second information provided by a second DCI that schedules the second PDSCH; and transmitting multiple UCIs, including the UCI held in the period, together. 4. A base station comprising: a transmitter that transmits a first downlink control information (DCI) to provide first information for controlling a period to hold an uplink control information (UCI) corresponding to a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and a second DCI to provide second information for controlling a period to hold the UCI, and transmits the first PDSCH scheduled by the first DCI and a second PDSCH scheduled by the second DCI; and a receiver that receives multiple UCIs, including the UCI held in the period, together.
