Abstract

To perform a random access procedure appropriately in communication using beamforming. A user terminal for communicating with a radio base station using a plurality of beams includes: a transmission section that transmits a random access preamble; a reception section that receives a random access response corresponding to the random access preamble; and a control section that controls transmission of the random access preamble and/or reception of the random access response using given resources associated with a plurality of beam patterns.

Claims (27)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives a synchronization signal and a broadcast channel; and

a processor that controls to transmit a random access preamble by using a resource that is configured associated with the synchronization signal and the broadcast channel,

wherein the resource used for transmitting the random access preamble is associated with a plurality of synchronization signals and broadcast channels including the received synchronization signal and broadcast channel, and

the processor controls reception of a response signal to the random access preamble based on timing of the resource.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the receiver receives information about association of the synchronization signal and the broadcast channel with the resource.

3. A radio communication method comprising:

receiving a synchronization signal and a broadcast channel;

controlling to transmit a random access preamble by using a resource that is configured associated with the synchronization signal and the broadcast channel; and

controlling reception of a response signal to the random access preamble based on timing of the resource,

wherein the resource used for transmitting the random access preamble is associated with a plurality of synchronization signals and broadcast channels including the received synchronization signal and broadcast channel.

4. A base station comprising:

a transmitter that transmits a synchronization signal and a broadcast channel; and

a processor that controls to receive a random access preamble by using a resource that is configured associated with the synchronization signal and the broadcast channel,

wherein the resource used for receiving the random access preamble is associated with a plurality of synchronization signals and broadcast channels including the transmitted synchronization signal and broadcast channel, and

the processor controls transmission of a response signal to the random access preamble based on timing of the resource.

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

the terminal comprises:

a receiver that receives a synchronization signal and a broadcast channel; and

a processor that controls to transmit a random access preamble by using a resource that is configured associated with the synchronization signal and the broadcast channel,

wherein the resource used for transmitting the random access preamble is associated with a plurality of synchronization signals and broadcast channels including the received synchronization signal and broadcast channel, and

the processor controls reception of a response signal to the random access preamble based on timing of the resource; and

the base station comprises:

a transmitter that transmits the synchronization signal and the broadcast channel; and

a processor that controls to receive the random access preamble by using the resource,

wherein the resource used for receiving the random access preamble is associated with the plurality of synchronization signals and broadcast channels including the transmitted synchronization signal and broadcast channel, and

the processor controls transmission of the response signal to the random access preamble based on timing of the resource.
