Abstract

An apparatus is disclosed that includes a receiver that receives downlink control information that is used for scheduling of a downlink shared channel, via a downlink control channel in a control resource set. The apparatus also includes a processor that determines a starting location in a time domain of the downlink shared channel based on the downlink control information. The apparatus further includes an output device that performs output based on downlink data signal in the downlink shared channel. When the downlink shared channel overlaps with the control resource set, a resource to which the downlink control information is mapped is not available for the downlink shared channel and wherein a field value in the downlink control information indicates an index for designating one of a plurality of starting locations that are provided in advance. In another aspect, a system is also disclosed.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An apparatus comprising:
a receiver that receives downlink control information that is used for scheduling of a downlink shared channel, via a downlink control channel in a control resource set;
a processor that determines a starting location in a time domain of the downlink shared channel based on the downlink control information; and
an output device that performs output based on downlink data signal in the downlink shared channel,
wherein when the downlink shared channel overlaps with the control resource set, a resource to which the downlink control information is mapped is not available for the downlink shared channel, and
wherein a field value in the downlink control information indicates an index for designating one of a plurality of starting locations that are provided in advance.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the output apparatus is at least one of a display or a speaker.

3. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the output apparatus is a touch panel.

4. A system comprising a base station and an apparatus, wherein
the base station comprises:
a transmitter that transmits downlink control information that is used for scheduling of a downlink shared channel, via a downlink control channel in a control resource set; and
a processor that designates a starting location in a time domain of the downlink shared channel based on the downlink control information,
wherein when the downlink shared channel overlaps with the control resource set, a resource to which the downlink control information is mapped is not available for the downlink shared channel, and
wherein a field value in the downlink control information indicates an index for designating one of a plurality of starting locations that are provided in advance, and
the apparatus comprises:
a receiver that receives the downlink control information;
a processor that determines a starting location in a time domain of the downlink shared channel based on the downlink control information; and
an output device that performs output based on downlink data signal in the downlink shared channel.
