Abstract

A terminal apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message from a base station apparatus, and a controller configured to configure a parameter based on the parameter included in the RRC reconfiguration message. The parameter includes at least identity information of a target cell and a configuration of a subcarrier spacing, and the configuration of the subcarrier spacing is configured for each of the target cells.

Claims (22)

1. A terminal apparatus for communicating with a base station apparatus, the terminal apparatus comprising:

reception circuitry configured to receive information included in a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message from the base station apparatus,

the information including an identity of a target cell, a first subcarrier spacing designated to a transmission of a synchronization signal in the target cell, and a second subcarrier spacing designated to a transmission of a Physical Downlink Shared Channel including a message of a random access response in the target cell,

the reception circuitry being configured to perform, based on the first subcarrier spacing, a downlink synchronization in the target cell indicated by the identity, and

the reception circuitry being configured to receive, based on the second subcarrier spacing, the random access response in the target cell indicated by the identity.

2. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the information includes a subcarrier spacing for a transmission of a random access preamble in the target cell.

3. A base station apparatus for communicating with a terminal apparatus, the base station apparatus comprising:

processing circuitry configured to generate information to be included in a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message to be transmitted to the terminal apparatus, and

transmission circuitry configured to transmit, to the terminal apparatus, the RRC reconfiguration message including the information,

the information including an identity of a target cell, a first subcarrier spacing designated to a transmission of a synchronization signal in the target cell, and a second subcarrier spacing designated to a transmission of a Physical Downlink Shared Channel including a message of a random access response in the target cell.

4. The base station apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the information includes a subcarrier spacing for a transmission of a random access preamble in the target cell.

5. A communication method applied to a terminal apparatus for communicating with a base station apparatus, the communication method comprising:

receiving information included in a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message from the base station apparatus,

the information including an identity of a target cell, a first subcarrier spacing designated to a transmission of a synchronization signal in the target cell, and a second subcarrier spacing designated to a transmission of a Physical Downlink Shared Channel including a message of a random access response in the target cell;

performing, based on the first subcarrier spacing, a downlink synchronization in the target cell indicated by the identity; and

receiving, based on the second subcarrier spacing, the random access response in the target cell indicated by the identity.

6. A communication method applied to a base station apparatus for communicating with a terminal apparatus, the communication method comprising:

generating information to be included in a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message to be transmitted to the terminal apparatus, and

transmitting, to the terminal apparatus, the RRC reconfiguration message including the information,

the information including an identity of a target cell, a first subcarrier spacing designated to a transmission of a synchronization signal in the target cell, and a second subcarrier spacing designated to a transmission of a Physical Downlink Shared Channel including a message of a random access response in the target cell.

7. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the target cell is a specific cell in a secondary cell group (SCG).

8. The base station apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the target cell is a specific cell in a secondary cell group (SCG).
