Abstract

A MS transmits, to a BS, uplink data (UD) on a PUSCH, PUSCH being assigned by using a PDCCH. The MS receives on PDCCH, an indication instructing the MS to transmit reception quality information (RQI) without UD on PUSCH, and transmits on PUSCH, to the BS, RQI without UD based on the indication which is received on PDCCH. The indication is specified based on values to which a plurality of fields of information transmitted on PDCCH are set. One of the plurality of fields is a field used for instructing the MS to transmit RQI and another is a field used for indicating a redundancy version. For instructing the MS to transmit RQI without UD on PUSCH, the field used for instructing the MS to transmit RQI is set to a first single predetermined value (SPV) and the field used for indicating the redundancy version is set to a second SPV.

Claims

1. A base station apparatus which assigns, to a mobile station apparatus, a physical uplink shared channel by using a physical downlink control channel, the physical uplink shared channel being used for transmitting uplink data, the base station apparatus comprising:

transmitting circuitry configured to transmit on the physical downlink control channel, to the mobile station apparatus, a first indication instructing the mobile station apparatus to transmit reception quality information with the uplink data on the physical uplink shared channel assigned by using the physical downlink control channel,

the transmitting circuitry configured to transmit on the physical downlink control channel, to the mobile station apparatus, a second indication instructing the mobile station apparatus to transmit the reception quality information without the uplink data on the physical uplink shared channel assigned by using the physical downlink control channel; and

receiving circuitry configured to receive on the physical uplink shared channel, from the mobile station apparatus, the reception quality information with the uplink data in a case that the first indication instructing the mobile station apparatus to transmit the reception quality information with the uplink data on the physical uplink shared channel is transmitted,

the receiving circuitry configured to receive on the physical uplink shared channel, from the mobile station apparatus, the reception quality information without the uplink data in a case that the second indication instructing the mobile station apparatus to transmit the reception quality information without the uplink data on the physical uplink shared channel is transmitted.

2. A mobile station apparatus which transmits, to a base station apparatus, uplink data on a physical uplink shared channel, the physical uplink shared channel being assigned by using a physical downlink control channel, the mobile station apparatus comprising:

receiving circuitry configured to receive on the physical downlink control channel, from the base station apparatus, a first indication instructing the mobile station apparatus to transmit reception quality information with the uplink data on the physical uplink shared channel assigned by using the physical downlink control channel,
