Abstract

A terminal apparatus includes: a receiver configured to receive a PDCCH including a DCI format used for scheduling of a PDSCH, and the PDSCH; and a transmitter configured to transmit a HARQ-ACK on a PUCCH, wherein an index of a downlink reference signal quasi co-located (QCLed) with an antenna port of a downlink reference signal associated with the PDSCH is given based on a control resource set in which the PDCCH is detected.
