Abstract

The present invention is designed to appropriately select PUCCH resources used to transmit HARQ-ACK. According to one aspect of the present invention, a user terminal has a control section that monitors candidate resources of one or more downlink (DL) control channels (DL) transmitted in multiple different time and/or frequency resources, and detects one or more downlink control information (DCI), and a transmission section that transmits delivery acknowledgment information in response to a downlink (DL) data channel by using an uplink (UL) control channel, and the control section selects resources for the UL control channel based on the DCI.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A terminal comprising:
a processor that monitors candidate resources of a plurality of physical downlink (DL) control channels (PDCCHs) transmitted in multiple different time and/or frequency resources, and detects the plurality of PDCCHs allocated in different search spaces, the plurality of PDCCHs scheduling a same physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH); and
a transmitter that transmits delivery acknowledgment information in response to the PDSCH by using a physical uplink (UL) control channel (PUCCH),
wherein the processor selects a single resource for the PUCCH based on information, about resources of the plurality of PDCCHs, that applies in common to the plurality of PDCCHs and performs a control to transmit the delivery acknowledgement information by the single resource, and
the plurality of PDCCHs is a PDCCH repetition.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the processor monitors the candidate resources of the plurality of PDCCHs transmitted in the multiple different time and/or frequency resources in a plurality of transmitting (Tx) beams.

3. A radio communication method for a terminal, comprising:
monitoring candidate resources of a plurality of physical downlink (DL) control channels (PDCCHs) transmitted in multiple different time and/or frequency resources, and detecting the plurality of PDCCHs allocated in different search spaces, the plurality of PDCCHs scheduling a same physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH);
transmitting delivery acknowledgment information in response to the PDSCH by using a physical uplink (UL) control channel (PUCCH),
selecting a single resource for the PUCCH based on information, about resources of the plurality of PDCCHs, that applies in common to the plurality of PDCCHs, and
performing a control to transmit the delivery acknowledgement information by the single resource,
wherein the plurality of PDCCHs is a PDCCH repetition.

4. A base station communicating with a terminal, the base station comprising:
a transmitter that transmits a plurality of physical downlink (DL) control channels (PDCCHs) in multiple different time and/or frequency resources in candidate resources of the plurality of the PDCCHs, wherein the PDCCHs are allocated in different search spaces and schedule a same physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH); and
a processor that indicates transmitting delivery acknowledgment information in response to the PDSCH by using a physical uplink (UL) control channel (PUCCH),
wherein a single resource for the PUCCH is selected by the terminal based on information, about resources of the plurality of PDCCHs, that applies in common to the plurality of PDCCHs and performs a control to receive the delivery acknowledgment information by the single resource, and
the plurality of PDCCHs is a PDCCH repetition.

5. A radio communication system comprising a terminal and a base station, wherein:
the terminal comprises:
a processor of the terminal that monitors candidate resources of a plurality of physical downlink (DL) control channels (PDCCHs) transmitted in multiple different time and/or frequency resources, and detects the plurality of PDCCHs allocated in different search spaces, the plurality of PDCCHs scheduling a same physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH); and
a transmitter of the terminal that transmits delivery acknowledgment information in response to the PDSCH by using a physical uplink (UL) control channel (PUCCH),
wherein the processor selects a single resource for the PUCCH based on information, about resources of the plurality of PDCCHs, that applies in common to the plurality of PDCCHs and performs a control to transmit the delivery acknowledgement information by the single resource, and

the base station comprises:
a transmitter of the base station that transmits the plurality of PDCCHs; and
a processor of the base station that indicates transmitting the delivery acknowledgment information by using the PUCCH, and

wherein the plurality of PDCCHs is a PDCCH repetition.
