TERMINAL APPARATUS, BASE STATION APPARATUS, AND COMMUNICATION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18030988 titled 'TERMINAL APPARATUS, BASE STATION APPARATUS, AND COMMUNICATION METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an apparatus that includes a coder, rate matcher, and transmitter for transmitting uplink control information.

• The coder generates a coded bit sequence by error correction coding the uplink control information.
• The rate matcher applies a prescribed amount of cyclic shift to the coded bit sequence for a specific uplink channel instance.
• The transmitter uses the specific uplink channel instance to transmit the coded bit sequence.
• The prescribed amount of cyclic shift is determined based on the amount of cyclic shift used for the previous uplink channel instance, the number of OFDM symbols in the previous uplink channel instance, and the number of coded bits mapped per OFDM symbol.

Original Abstract Submitted

An apparatus includes a coder configured to generate a first coded bit sequence by error correction coding of a bit sequence of uplink control information, a rate matcher configured to generate a second coded bit sequence by applying a prescribed amount Cof cyclic shift to the first coded bit sequence for an s-th uplink channel instance of S uplink channel instances, and a transmitter configured to transmit the second coded bit sequence by using the s-th uplink channel instance. The prescribed amount Cis determined based on at least some or all of a prescribed amount Cfor an (s−1)-th uplink channel instance, the number of OFDM symbols included in the (s−1)-th uplink channel instance, and the number Nof coded bits mapped per OFDM symbol.
