Abstract

To suitably perform a random access procedure (e.g., random access preamble transmission) in future radio communication systems, a user terminal for communicating with a cell where predetermined numerology is applied has a control section that controls a random access procedure in the cell, and a transmission section that transmits a random access preamble with a predetermined subcarrier spacing applied among random access preambles for supporting a plurality of subcarrier spacings.

Claims (41)

1. A terminal comprising:

a processor that controls a random access procedure in a cell; and

a transmitter that transmits a random access preamble supporting a first subcarrier spacing and an uplink (UL) data channel to which a second subcarrier spacing is applied,

wherein the terminal determines the first subcarrier spacing by receiving first information indicating the first subcarrier spacing from a base station via higher layer signaling,

wherein the second subcarrier spacing applied to the UL data channel is configured independently of the first subcarrier spacing by receiving second information indicating the second subcarrier spacing from the base station via higher layer signaling,

wherein the terminal supports transmissions of the random access preamble having a sequence number of 839 with the first subcarrier spacing of 1.25 kHz and the random access preamble having the sequence number of 839 with the first subcarrier spacing of 5 kHz, and

wherein a plurality of random access preambles with different subcarrier spacings are time multiplexed or frequency multiplexed.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitter transmits the random access preamble supporting the first subcarrier spacing repeatedly.

3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the processor selects the random access preamble that is associated with the subcarrier spacing based on a given condition.

4. The terminal according to claim 1 wherein, the transmitter transmits the random access preamble by using a preset bandwidth.

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

controlling a random access procedure in a cell;

transmitting a random access preamble supporting a first subcarrier spacing; and

transmitting an uplink (UL) data channel to which a second subcarrier spacing is applied,

wherein the terminal determines the first subcarrier spacing by receiving first information indicating the first subcarrier spacing from a base station via higher layer signaling,

wherein the second subcarrier spacing applied to the UL data channel is configured independently of the first subcarrier spacing by receiving second information indicating the second subcarrier spacing via higher layer signaling,

wherein the terminal supports transmissions of the random access preamble having a sequence number of 839 with the first subcarrier spacing of 1.25 kHz and the random access preamble having the sequence number of 839 with the first subcarrier spacing of 5 kHz, and

wherein a plurality of random access preambles with different subcarrier spacings are time multiplexed or frequency multiplexed.

6. A radio base station comprising:

a processor that controls a random access procedure in a cell; and

a receiver that receives, from a terminal, a random access preamble supporting a first subcarrier spacing and an uplink (UL) data channel to which a second subcarrier spacing is applied,

wherein the radio base station transmits, to the terminal, first information indicating the first subcarrier spacing via higher layer signaling to receive the random access preamble supporting the first subcarrier spacing,

wherein the radio base station transmits, to the terminal, second information indicating the second subcarrier spacing via higher layer signaling to configure the second subcarrier spacing independently of the first subcarrier spacing,

wherein the radio base station supports receptions of the random access preamble having a sequence number of 839 with the first subcarrier spacing of 1.25 kHz and the random access preamble having the sequence number of 839 with the first subcarrier spacing of 5 kHz, and

wherein a plurality of random access preambles with different subcarrier spacings are time multiplexed or frequency multiplexed.

7. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the processor selects the random access preamble that is associated with the subcarrier spacing based on a given condition.

8. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the transmitter transmits the random access preamble by using a preset bandwidth.

9. The terminal according to claim 3 , wherein the transmitter transmits the random access preamble by using a preset bandwidth.

10. A radio communication system comprising:

a radio base station that comprises:

a first processor that controls a random access procedure in a cell; and

a receiver that receives, from a terminal, a random access preamble supporting a first subcarrier spacing and an uplink (UL) data channel to which a second subcarrier spacing is applied,

wherein the radio base station transmits, to the terminal, first information indicating the first subcarrier spacing via higher layer signaling to receive the random access preamble supporting the first subcarrier spacing, and

wherein the radio base station transmits, to the terminal, second information indicating the second subcarrier spacing via higher layer signaling to configure the second subcarrier spacing independently of the first subcarrier spacing; and

a terminal that comprises:

a second processor that controls a random access procedure in the cell; and

a transmitter that transmits the random access preamble supporting the first subcarrier spacing and the UL data channel to which the second subcarrier spacing is applied,

wherein the terminal determines the first subcarrier spacing by receiving the first information indicating the first subcarrier spacing from the base station via higher layer signaling,

wherein the second subcarrier spacing applied to the UL data channel is configured independently of the first subcarrier spacing by receiving the second information indicating the second subcarrier spacing from the base station via higher layer signaling,

wherein the terminal supports transmissions of the random access preamble having a sequence number of 839 with the first subcarrier spacing of 1.25 kHz and the random access preamble having the sequence number of 839 with the first subcarrier spacing of 5 kHz, and

wherein a plurality of random access preambles with different subcarrier spacings are time multiplexed or frequency multiplexed.
