Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A terminal is disclosed that includes a receiver that performs, using a first time interval or a second time interval, a receiving process for downlink control information indicating a transmission direction per given time interval and a processor that determines the transmission direction based on the downlink control information. In other aspects, a radio communication method is also disclosed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A terminal comprising: a receiver that performs, by using one of a first time interval and a second time interval, a receiving process for downlink control information indicating a transmission direction per symbol; and a processor that determines the transmission direction based on the downlink control information, wherein the first time interval is in units of slots and the second time interval is in units of radio frames. 2. A radio communication method for a terminal comprising: the terminal being configured to use a first time interval or a second time interval; performing, by using one of the first time interval or the second time interval, a receiving process for downlink control information indicating a transmission direction per symbol; and determining the transmission direction based on the downlink control information, wherein the first time interval is in units of slots and the second time interval is in units of radio frames. 3. A base station comprising: a transmitter that performs, by using one of a first time interval and a second time interval, a transmitting process for downlink control information indicating a transmission direction per symbol; and a processor that controls a notification of the transmission direction based on the downlink control information, wherein the first time interval is in units of slots and the second time interval is in units of radio frames. 4. A system station comprising a base station and a terminal, wherein: the base station comprises: a transmitter that performs, by using one of a first time interval and a second time interval, a transmitting process for downlink control information indicating a transmission direction per symbol; and a processor that controls a notification of the transmission direction based on the downlink control information, the terminal comprises: a receiver that performs, by using one of the first time interval and the second time interval, a receiving process for the downlink control information indicating the transmission direction per the symbol; and a processor that determines the transmission direction based on the downlink control information, wherein the first time interval is in units of slots and the second time interval is in units of radio frames.
