System and method for transmitting control information
[Object] To provide a mechanism that makes it possible to reduce overhead of control information and flexibly control terminal devices. [Solution] There is provided a base station device including a transmission processing unit configured to transmit first control information including information specific to a terminal group, to the terminal group including one or more terminal devices, and transmit second control information to the terminal group on a basis of the information specific to the terminal group.
1. A communication apparatus comprising:
circuitry configured to
receive a synchronization signal block composed of a synchronization signal and PBCH (Physical Broadcast Channel);
receive a physical channel including PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel), the PDSCH being scheduled by PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel), and the PDCCH being located in a common search space and being added CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) which is scrambled by SI-RNTI (System Information Radio Network Temporary identifier); and
set configuration of connection to a cell, based on first system information included in the PBCH, and second system information included in the PDSCH,
wherein a resource of the physical channel scheduled for the PDSCH is determined based on the first system information and an index of the synchronization signal block.
2. The communication apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the resource of the physical channel scheduled for the PDSCH is determined based on a time offset specified in the first system information.
3. The communication apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first system information includes at least one of a number of resource blocks of a common control subband for the common search space, a number of symbols of the common control subband for the common search space, and a subcarrier spacing of the common control subband for the common search space.
4. The communication apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the circuitry is further configured to receive a RS (Reference Signal) for demodulating the PBCH,
wherein the index of the synchronization signal block is allocated to the synchronization signal block, and the index of the synchronization signal block is determined based on a series of received RSs or information included in the PBCH.
5. The communication apparatus according to claim 4 ,
wherein the index of the synchronization signal block is further determined based on the information included in the PBCH.
6. The communication apparatus according to claim 4 ,
wherein the PBCH is scrambled based on a physical cell identifier obtained from a PSS (Primary Synchronization Signal) or a SSS (Secondary Synchronization Signal), and based on the index of the synchronization signal block.
7. The communication apparatus according to claim 4 ,
wherein the circuitry is configured to receive the synchronization signal block by determining a period of transmitting the synchronization signal block under a condition that the period of transmitting the synchronization signal block is set by an upper layer, and
wherein the circuitry is configured to receive the synchronization signal block by determining an initial period of transmitting the synchronization signal block under a condition that the period of transmitting the synchronization signal block is not set by the upper layer.
8. A method to be executed by a processor, the method comprising:
receiving a synchronization signal block composed of a synchronization signal and PBCH (Physical Broadcast Channel);
receiving a physical channel including PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel), the PDSCH being scheduled by PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel), and the PDCCH being located in a common search space and being added CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) which is scrambled by SI-RNTI (System Information Radio Network Temporary Identifier); and
setting configuration of connection to a cell, based on first system information included in the PBCH, and second system information included in the PDSCH,
wherein a resource of the physical channel scheduled for the PDSCH is determined based on the first system information and an index of the synchronization signal block.
9. A non-transitory computer readable medium having a program, when executed, the program causing a computer to perform operations comprising:
receiving a synchronization signal block composed of a synchronization signal and PBCH (Physical Broadcast Channel);
receiving a physical channel including PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel), the PDSCH being scheduled by PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel), and the PDCCH being located in a common search space and being added CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) which is scrambled by SI-RNTI (System Information Radio Network Temporary Identifier); and
setting configuration of connection to a cell, based on first system information included in the PBCH, and second system information included in the PDSCH,
wherein a resource of the physical channel scheduled for the PDSCH is determined based on the first system information and an index of the synchronization signal block.
