Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A terminal device which communicates with a base station device includes a reception unit that decodes a PDCCH having a DCI format 1C accompanying a CRC which is scrambled by using a TDD reconfiguration RNTI. The DCI format 1C includes an instruction of an uplink-downlink configuration for a plurality of serving cells. Thus, a mobile station device and the base station device can efficiently communicate with each other.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 - 30 . (canceled) 31 : A user equipment comprising: a receiver configured to monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) with downlink control information (DCI) format 1C with a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled by eIMTA-RNTI, wherein a first subframe where the receiver monitors the PDCCH on one radio frame is configured by bitmap information by a higher layer, the first subframe corresponds to a bit whose value is 1 within the bitmap information, and a bit whose value is 0 within the bitmap information corresponds to a second subframe where the receiver does not monitor the PDCCH. 32 : The user equipment according to claim 31 , wherein in a case of a time division duplex (TDD) as a primary cell, the first subframe where the receiver monitors the PDCCH is indicated by a first uplink-downlink configuration in system information as a downlink subframe. 33 : The user equipment according to claim 32 , wherein the second subframe where the receiver does not monitor the PDCCH corresponds to a bit whose value is 0 within the bitmap information or is indicated by the first uplink-downlink configuration in the system information as an uplink subframe. 34 : The user equipment according to claim 31 , wherein the eIMTA-RNTI is configured through a dedicated RRC signaling. 35 : The user equipment according to claim 31 , wherein the receiver is configured to receive the PDCCH which indicates a subframe, which is indicated as an uplink subframe by a first uplink-downlink configuration in system information, as an uplink subframe or a downlink subframe by a second uplink-downlink configuration, and the receiver is configured to not receive the PDCCH which indicates a subframe, which is indicated as a downlink subframe or a special subframe by the first uplink-downlink configuration in the system information, as an uplink subframe by the second uplink-downlink configuration. 36 : The user equipment according to claim 31 , wherein the receiver is configured to receive the PDCCH which indicates a subframe, which is indicated as a downlink subframe by a downlink reference uplink-downlink configuration, as an uplink subframe or a downlink subframe by a second uplink-downlink configuration, and the receiver is configured to not receive the PDCCH which indicates a subframe, which is indicated as an uplink subframe or a special subframe by the downlink reference uplink-downlink configuration, as a downlink subframe by the second uplink-downlink configuration. 37 : The user equipment according to claim 36 , wherein the downlink reference uplink-downlink configuration is configured among a set of uplink-downlink configurations restricted based on an uplink reference uplink-downlink configuration. 38 : The user equipment according to claim 36 , wherein the downlink reference uplink-downlink configuration is configured to a serving cell through dedicated RRC signaling. 39 : A base station apparatus comprising: a transmitter configured to transmit a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) with downlink control information (DCI) format 1C with a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled by eIMTA-RNTI, wherein a first subframe where the transmitter transmits the PDCCH on one radio frame is configured by bitmap information by a higher layer, the first subframe corresponds to a bit whose value is 1 within the bitmap information, and a bit whose value is 0 within the bitmap information corresponds to a second subframe where the transmitter does not transmit the PDCCH. 40 : The base station apparatus according to claim 39 , wherein in a case of a time division duplex (TDD) as a primary cell, the first subframe where the transmitter transmits the PDCCH is indicated by a first uplink-downlink configuration in system information as a downlink subframe. 41 : The base station apparatus according to claim 40 , wherein the second subframe where the transmitter does not transmit the PDCCH corresponds to a bit whose value is 0 within the bitmap information or is indicated by the first uplink-downlink configuration in the system information as an uplink subframe. 42 : The base station apparatus according to claim 39 , wherein the eIMTA-RNTI is configured through a dedicated RRC signaling. 43 : The base station apparatus according to claim 39 , wherein the transmitter is configured to transmit the PDCCH which indicates a subframe, which is indicated as an uplink subframe by a first uplink-downlink configuration in a system information, as an uplink subframe or a downlink subframe by a second uplink-downlink configuration, and the transmitter is configured to not transmit the PDCCH which indicates a subframe, which is indicated as a downlink subframe or a special subframe by the first uplink-downlink configuration, as an uplink subframe by the second uplink-downlink configuration. 44 : The base station apparatus according to claim 39 , wherein the transmitter is configured to transmit the PDCCH which indicates a subframe, which is indicated as a downlink subframe by a downlink reference uplink-downlink configuration, as an uplink subframe or a downlink subframe by a second uplink-downlink configuration, and the transmitter is configured to not transmit the PDCCH which indicates a subframe, which is indicated as an uplink subframe or a special subframe by the downlink reference uplink-downlink configuration, as a downlink subframe by the second uplink-downlink configuration. 45 : The base station apparatus according to claim 44 , wherein the downlink reference uplink-downlink configuration is configured among a set of uplink-downlink configurations restricted based on an uplink reference uplink-downlink configuration. 46 : The base station apparatus according to claim 44 , wherein the downlink reference uplink-downlink configuration is configured to a serving cell through dedicated RRC signaling. 47 : A communication method of a user equipment, comprising: monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) with downlink control information (DCI) format 1C with a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled by eIMTA-RNTI, wherein a first subframe for monitoring the PDCCH on one radio frame is configured by bitmap information by a higher layer, the first subframe corresponds to a bit whose value is 1 within the bitmap information, and a bit whose value is 0 within the bitmap information corresponds to a second subframe not for monitoring the PDCCH. 48 : A communication method of a base station apparatus, comprising: transmitting a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) with downlink control information (DCI) format 1C with a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled by eIMTA-RNTI, wherein a first subframe for transmitting the PDCCH on one radio frame is configured by bitmap information by a higher layer, the first subframe corresponds to a bit whose value is 1 within the bitmap information, and a bit whose value is 0 within the bitmap information corresponds to a second subframe not for transmitting the PDCCH.
