Patent ID: 10484976

Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) is described that includes receiving circuitry configured to receive, from a base station apparatus, a radio resource control message including first information used for configuring a periodicity for an uplink data transmission, the receiving circuitry configured to receive on a physical downlink control channel, from the base station apparatus, second information used for indicating an activation for the uplink data transmission. Transmitting circuitry is configured to transmit, to the base station apparatus, confirmation information Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) for the second information, the transmitting circuitry configured to perform on a physical uplink shared channel, to the base station apparatus, the uplink data transmission based on the first information and the second information. The receiving circuitry is also configured to receive on the physical downlink control channel, from the base station apparatus, third information used for indicating a deactivation for the uplink data transmission.
