Abstract

Provided is a terminal apparatus configured to communicate with a base station apparatus. The terminal apparatus includes: a higher layer processing unit configured to receive first information including a setting for semi-persistent channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) for measuring channel state information; a medium access control (MAC) layer configured to receive second information including information for activating the semi-persistent CSI-RS; and a receiver configured to receive a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). In the terminal apparatus, in a case where the semi-persistent CSI-RS is activated, a resource element to be used for the activated reference signal is not to be used as a resource element for the physical downlink shared channel.

Claims (58)

1. A terminal device comprising:

higher layer processing circuitry configured to:

receive a configuration of a resource for a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS),

receive a configuration indicating semi-persistent transmission of the CSI-RS,

receive a configuration of a channel state information-interference measurement (CSI-IM) resource, and

receive a first medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) and a second MAC CE,

wherein the first and second MAC CEs include information indicating whether to activate the CSI-RS and whether to activate the CSI-IM resource;

reception circuitry configured to:

receive a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH),

receive the first MAC CE in a first slot, and

receive the second MAC CE in a second slot; and

measurement circuitry configured to:

measure channel state information (CSI) based on the CSI-RS,

wherein:

the CSI-RS is activated by the first MAC CE,

the PDSCH is not mapped on the resource for the CSI-RS, and

the CSI-IM resource is activated by the second MAC CE.

2. A base station device comprising:

higher layer processing circuitry configured to:

transmit a configuration of a resource for a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS),

transmit a configuration indicating semi-persistent transmission of the CSI-RS,

transmit a configuration of a channel state information-interference measurement (CSI-IM) resource, and

transmit a first medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) and a second MAC CE,

wherein the first and second MAC CEs include information indicating whether to activate the CSI-RS and whether to activate the CSI-IM resource;

transmission circuitry configured to:

transmit a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH),

transmit the first MAC CE in a first slot, and

transmit the second MAC CE in a second slot; and

reception circuitry configured to:

receive channel state information (CSI) which is based on the CSI-RS,

wherein:

the CSI-RS is activated by the first MAC CE,

the PDSCH is not mapped on the resource for the CSI-RS, and

the CSI-IM resource is activated by the second MAC CE.

3. A communication method for a terminal device, the communication method comprising:

receiving a configuration of a resource for a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS);

receiving a configuration indicating semi-persistent transmission of the CSI-RS;

receiving a configuration of a channel state information-interference measurement (CSI-IM) resource;

receiving a first medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) in a first slot and a second MAC CE in a second slot,

wherein the first and second MAC CEs include information indicating whether to activate the CSI-RS and whether to activate the CSI-IM resource;

receiving a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH); and

measuring channel state information (CSI) based on the CSI-RS,

wherein:

the CSI-RS is activated by the first MAC CE,

the PDSCH is not mapped on the resource for the CSI-RS, and

the CSI-IM resource is activated by the second MAC CE.

4. A communication method for a base station device, the communication method comprising:

transmitting a configuration of a resource for a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS);

transmitting a configuration indicating semi-persistent transmission of the CSI-RS;

transmitting a configuration of a channel state information-interference measurement (CSI-IM) resource,

transmitting a first medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) in a first slot and a second MAC CE in a second slot,

wherein the first and second MAC CEs include information indicating whether to activate the CSI-RS and whether to activate the CSI-IM resource;

transmitting a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH); and

receiving channel state information (CSI) which is based on the CSI-RS,

wherein:

the CSI-RS is activated by the first MAC CE,

the PDSCH is not mapped on the resource for the CSI-RS, and

the CSI-IM resource is activated by the second MAC CE.
