Abstract

A terminal apparatus includes: a receiver configured to receive first information related to query for capability of the terminal apparatus; and a transmitter configured to transmit second information related to the capability of the terminal apparatus, wherein the second information includes third information related to a band combination of operating bands used for carrier aggregation (CA), the band combination supported by the terminal apparatus, and in a case that more than one subcarrier spacings (SCSs) are supported by the terminal apparatus in each of the operating bands, the third information includes fourth information related to a SCS combination that can be applied to the band combination.

Claims (38)

1. A terminal apparatus, comprising:

a receiver configured to receive first information related to a query for capability of the terminal apparatus; and

a transmitter configured to transmit second information related to the capability of the terminal apparatus, wherein:

the second information includes third information related to a band combination of operating bands used for carrier aggregation (CA), the band combination supported by the terminal apparatus,

a plurality of subcarrier spacings (SCSs) are supported by the terminal apparatus in each of the operating bands,

the third information includes fourth information related to an SCS combination that is applied to the band combination,

an SCS combination corresponding to a first band combination of band combinations is individually configured, and

an SCS of the plurality of SCSs for a first carrier and an SCS of the plurality of SCSs for a second carrier corresponding to the first band combination each is configured by using a first parameter individually set for the first carrier and the second carrier.

2. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:

an SCS combination corresponding to a second band combination of the band combinations is an SCS combination having a same SCS, and

an SCS of the plurality of SCSs for a third carrier and an SCS of the plurality of SCSs for a fourth carrier corresponding to the second band combination are configured based on a common second parameter.

3. A terminal apparatus, comprising:

a receiver configured to receive first information related to a query for capability of the terminal apparatus; and

a transmitter configured to transmit second information related to the capability of the terminal apparatus, wherein:

the second information includes third information and fourth information,

the third information indicates a band combination of operating bands, the band combination supported by the terminal apparatus,

the band combination includes a first operating band and a second operating band paired with the first operating band,

the fourth information indicates a subcarrier spacing for downlink and a subcarrier spacing for uplink in the first operating band, and a subcarrier spacing for uplink in the second operating band,

an SCS combination corresponding to a first band combination of band combinations is individually configured, and

an SCS of a plurality of SCSs for a first carrier and an SCS of the plurality of SCSs for a second carrier corresponding to the first band combination each is configured by using a first parameter individually set for the first carrier and the second carrier.

4. The terminal apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the fourth information further indicates a subcarrier spacing for downlink for the second operating band.

5. A method performed by a terminal apparatus, the method comprising:

receiving first information related to a query for capability of the terminal apparatus; and

transmitting second information related to the capability of the terminal apparatus, wherein:

the second information includes third information related to a band combination of operating bands used for carrier aggregation (CA), the band combination supported by the terminal apparatus,

a plurality of subcarrier spacings (SCSs) are supported by the terminal apparatus in each of the operating bands,

the third information includes fourth information related to an SCS combination that is applied to the band combination,

an SCS combination corresponding to a first band combination of band combinations is individually configured, and

an SCS of the plurality of SCSs for a first carrier and an SCS of the plurality of SCSs for a second carrier corresponding to the first band combination each is configured by using a first parameter individually set for the first carrier and the second carrier.

6. A method performed by a terminal apparatus, the method comprising:

receiving first information related to a query for capability of the terminal apparatus; and

transmitting second information related to the capability of the terminal apparatus, wherein:

the second information includes third information and fourth information,

the third information indicates a band combination of operating bands, the band combination supported by the terminal apparatus,

the band combination includes a first operating band and a second operating band paired with the first operating band,

the fourth information indicates a subcarrier spacing for downlink and a subcarrier spacing for uplink in the first operating band, and a subcarrier spacing for uplink in the second operating band,

an SCS combination corresponding to a first band combination of band combinations is individually configured, and

an SCS of a plurality of SCSs for a first carrier and an SCS of the plurality of SCSs for a second carrier corresponding to the first band combination each is configured by using a first parameter individually set for the first carrier and the second carrier.
