Abstract

[Object] To provide a terminal device capable of efficiently performing communication in a communication system in which a base station device and the terminal device communicate with each other.

[Solution] A terminal device that communicates with a base station device, including: a higher layer processing unit configured to perform SPDSCH setting through signaling of a higher layer from the base station device; and a receiving unit configured to receive a PDSCH in a case in which the SPDSCH setting is not performed and receive an SPDSCH in a case in which the SPDSCH setting is performed. The SPDSCH is mapped to any one of one or more SPDSCH candidates set on a basis of the SPDSCH setting. A number of symbols of a resource used for mapping of the SPDSCH is smaller than a number of symbols of a resource used for mapping of the PDSCH.

Claims

1. A terminal device that communicates with a base station device, comprising:

a higher layer processing unit configured to set a second mode regarding transmission time interval through signaling of a higher layer from the base station device; and

a receiving unit configured to receive a channel in a first mode regarding transmission time interval in a case in which the second mode is not set and receive a channel in the second mode in a case in which the second mode is set,

wherein the channel in the second mode is mapped to any one of one or more channel candidates set on a basis of the second mode, resources that can be mapped are notified as bitmap information by the higher layer signaling, wherein the bitmap information indicates whether the resource includes the channel candidate or not, and

a number of symbols of a resource corresponding to the channel in the second mode is smaller than a number of symbols of a resource corresponding to the channel in the first mode.

2. The terminal device according to claim 1, wherein the number of symbols of the resource corresponding to the channel in the first TTI mode is specified in advance, and the number of symbols of the resource corresponding to the channel in the second TTI mode is set on the basis of the second TTI mode.

3. The terminal device according to claim 1, wherein the receiving unit performs a reception process on all the channel candidates.

4. The terminal device according to claim 3, wherein the receiving unit receives a PDCCH including control information for activating scheduling of the channel in the second TTI mode set on the basis of the second TTI mode, and

the receiving unit starts the reception process in a case in which the control information is detected.

5. The terminal device according to claim 3, wherein the receiving unit receives a PDCCH including control information for releasing scheduling of the channel in the second TTI mode set on the basis of the second TTI mode, and

the receiving unit stops the reception process in a case in which the control information is detected.

6. The terminal device according to claim 1, wherein the second TTI mode is independently set in each of downlink and uplink, and

each of a number of symbols in the downlink and a number of symbols in the uplink is independently decided on a basis of setting of the second TTI mode.

7. The terminal device according to claim 1, wherein the first mode is based on a sub frame, and the second mode is based on a symbol.

8. The terminal device according to claim 1, wherein transmission time interval of the second mode is an integer multiple of a symbol length.

9. A base station device that communicates with a terminal device, comprising:

a higher layer processing unit configured to set a second mode regarding transmission time interval in the terminal device through signaling of a higher layer; and

a transmitting unit configured to transmit a channel in a first mode regarding transmission time interval in a case in which the second mode is not set and transmit a channel in the second mode in a case in which the second mode is set,

wherein the channel in the second mode is mapped to any one of one or more channel candidates set on a basis of the second mode, resources that can be mapped are notified as bitmap information by the higher layer signaling, wherein the bitmap information indicates whether the resource includes the channel candidate or not, and

a number of symbols of a resource corresponding to the channel in the second mode is smaller than a number of symbols of a resource corresponding to the channel in the first mode.

10. The base station device according to claim 9, wherein the number of symbols of the resource corresponding to the channel in the first TTI mode is specified in advance, and the number of symbols of the resource corresponding to the channel in the second TTI mode is set on the basis of the second TTI mode.

11. The base station device according to claim 9, wherein all the channel candidates are assumed to undergo a reception process in the terminal device.

12. The base station device according to claim 11, wherein the transmitting unit transmits a PDCCH including control information for activating scheduling of the channel in the second TTI mode set on a basis of the second TTI mode, and

the transmitting unit assumes that, in a case in which the control information is transmitted, the terminal device starts the reception process.

13. The base station device according to claim 11, wherein the transmitting unit receives a PDCCH including control information for releasing scheduling of the channel in the second TTI mode set on the basis of the second TTI mode, and

the transmitting unit assumes that, in a case in which the control information is transmitted, the terminal device stops the reception process.

14. The base station device according to claim 9, wherein the second TTI mode is independently set in each of downlink and uplink, and

each of a number of symbols in the downlink and a number of symbols in the uplink is independently decided on a basis of setting of the second TTI mode.

15. A communication method used in a terminal device that communicates with a base station device, comprising:
