Abstract

A terminal according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a control section that determines a spatial relation for a physical uplink control channel on the basis of a control resource set having a lowest identifier, and a transmitting section that simultaneously transmits the physical uplink control channel on the basis of the spatial relation by using a plurality of coherent panels. According to one aspect of the present disclosure, it is possible to appropriately perform simultaneous UL transmission using multiple panels.

Claims (24)

1 . A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives, by radio resource control (RRC) signaling, a configuration of two transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states; and

a processor that controls, based on the two TCI states, repetitive transmission of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) using multiple panels,

wherein when a plurality of control resource set (CORESET) pool indices are configured, a spatial relation of the PUCCH is determined in accordance with the two TCI states corresponding to a CORESET that is associated with each of the configured CORESET pool indices, and

wherein the spatial relation of the PUCCH is same as a spatial relation of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in the CORESET that is associated with each of the configured CORESET pool indices.

2 . The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the processor controls transmission of the PUCCH in a same time resource and a same frequency resource.

3 . A radio communication method for a terminal, comprising:

receiving, by radio resource control (RRC) signaling, a configuration of two transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states; and

controlling based on the two TCI states, repetitive transmission of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) using multiple panels,

wherein when a plurality of control resource set (CORESET) pool indices are configured, a spatial relation of the PUCCH is determined in accordance with the two TCI states corresponding to a CORESET that is associated with each of the configured CORESET pool indices, and

wherein the spatial relation of the PUCCH is same as a spatial relation of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in the CORESET that is associated with each of the configured CORESET pool indices.

4 . A base station comprising:

a transmitter that transmits, by radio resource control (RRC) signaling, a configuration of two transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states; and

a processor that controls, based on the two TCI states, reception of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) that is transmitted with repetition using multiple panels,

wherein when a plurality of control resource set (CORESET) pool indices are configured, a spatial relation of the PUCCH is determined in accordance with the two TCI states corresponding to a CORESET that is associated with each of the configured CORESET pool indices, and

wherein the spatial relation of the PUCCH is same as a spatial relation of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in the CORESET that is associated with each of the configured CORESET pool indices.

5 . A system comprising a terminal and a base station, wherein

the base station comprises:

a transmitter that transmits, by radio resource control (RRC) signaling, a configuration of two transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states, and

the terminal comprises:

a receiver that receives the configuration of the two TCI states; and

a processor that controls, based on the two TCI states, repetitive transmission of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) using multiple panels,

wherein when a plurality of control resource set (CORESET) pool indices are configured, a spatial relation of the PUCCH is determined in accordance with the two TCI states corresponding to a CORESET that is associated with each of the configured CORESET pool indices, and

wherein the spatial relation of the PUCCH is same as a spatial relation of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in the CORESET that is associated with each of the configured CORESET pool indices.
