    Abstract: In a base station (100), a controller (101) determines one set from among a plurality of sets, each of which including one or more candidates for a resource for an uplink (UL) control channel during initial access, and determines one candidate from among the one or more candidates for the resource, which is included in the determined set. A transmitter (114) indicates the determined set to a terminal (200) by higher layer signaling, and indicates the determined candidate by dynamic signaling. A receiver (116) receives a UL control signal, using the resource corresponding to the determined candidate in the determined set. In the base station, the association between a value to be indicated by the higher layer signaling and the plurality of sets is configured for each of one or more parameters relating to the initial access.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a mobile terminal for performing cell (re-)selection in a system with at least two suitable cells, each with a plurality of beams. The terminal is in a normal- or a high-mobility state. The terminal measures a signal quality of the beams of each of the suitable cells, determines the cell quality based on the respective measured signal qualities of the beams; and (re-)selects that cell based on a cell (re-)selection criterion using the determined cell qualities. The cell quality is determined for each one of the suitable cells as a sum of the measured signal quality of the beam, with the best signal quality, and a combined beam quality value for the other beams. The combined beam quality value is scaled with a scaling factor which changes depending on the mobility state such that the combined beam quality value is scaled-up in the high-mobility state and scaled-down in the normal-mobility state.

    Abstract: Provided are a user equipment (UE), a scheduling node, and communication methods for a UE and a scheduling node. The UE comprises a transceiver which, in operation, performs listen before talk, LBT and circuitry which, in operation, performs at least one of: incrementing a counter upon determining LBT failure, starting a triggering timer upon determining LBT failure if the triggering timer is not running, and determining whether the counter has reached a threshold value upon expiry of the triggering timer; and incrementing the counter upon determining a number N of consecutive LBT failures due to ongoing LBT backoff. The circuitry generates a indicating consistent LBT failure upon determining that the counter has reached the threshold value, and the transceiver, in operation, declares consistent LBT failure.

    Abstract: Provided is a wireless communication device. A PHICH reception unit determines whether a received signal in a PHICH region is an ACK signal or a NACK signal. When doing so, the PHICH reception unit does not receive a PHICH in a subframe in which a terminal monitors an E-PDCCH. A control signal reception unit outputs a retransmission prompting signal to a signal allocation unit when the signal outputted from the PHICH reception unit is a NACK signal and when a UL grant was not detected. Meanwhile, when a UL grant was detected, the control signal reception unit outputs the detected UL grant to the signal allocation unit. The signal allocation unit maps the transmission signal in accordance with the retransmission prompting signal and the UL grant and transmits the transmission signal from a wireless transmission unit.
