Abstract

A terminal apparatus in an initial access calculates, from the RSRP of the SS block, a downlink path loss used for transmission power of the PRACH, and determines a reference used for the downlink path loss used for transmission power of a first PUSCH scheduled by a random access response grant, based on system information included in the random access response grant, wherein the system information further includes a first parameter for indicating a subcarrier spacing for the first PUSCH and a second parameter for indicating a signal waveform for the first PUSCH.

Claims (14)

1. A terminal apparatus comprising:

a receiver configured to receive a synchronization schedule (SS) block including a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a second synchronization signal (SSS) and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH), and/or a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS);

a measurement unit configured to measure a reference signal receive power (RSRP) from the SS block and/or the CSI-RS; and

a transmitter configured to transmit a physical random access channel (PRACH) and/or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), wherein in a case of an initial access, the transmitter is configured to

set transmission power of the PRACH using a pathloss based on the RSRP measured from only the SS block,

set transmission power of the PUSCH including message 3 using the pathloss based on the RSRP measured from the SS block and/or the CSI-RS, determine, based on configuration information, the RSRP used for the pathloss from among the RSRP measured from the SS block and the RSRP measured from the CSI-RS, wherein the configuration information includes a first parameter for indicating a subcarrier spacing for the PUSCH and a second parameter for indicating a signal waveform for the PUSCH.

2. A method comprising:

receiving a synchronization schedule (SS) block including a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a second synchronization signal (SSS) and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH), and/or a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS);

measuring a reference signal receive power (RSRP) from the SS block and/or the CSI-RS;

transmitting a physical random access channel (PRACH) and/or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); and

in a case of an initial access,

setting transmission power of the PRACH using a pathloss based on the RSRP measured from only the SS block,

setting transmission power of the PUSCH including message 3 using the pathloss based on the RSRP measured from the SS block and/or the CSI-RS,

determining, based on configuration information, the RSRP used for the pathloss from among the RSRP measured from the SS block and the RSRP measured from the CSI-RS, wherein the configuration information further includes a first parameter for indicating a subcarrier spacing for the PUSCH and a second parameter for indicating a signal waveform for the PUSCH.
