Abstract

A terminal apparatus according to an aspect of the present embodiment acquires multiple pieces of sounding reference signal (SRS) resource set configuration information indicating a configuration of multiple SRS resources, transmits an SRS and an uplink shared channel (PUSCH) based on the multiple SRS resources, acquires information (SRI) indicating one of the multiple SRS resources included in a piece of SRS resource set configuration information of the multiple pieces of SRS resource set configuration information, from control information (DCI) transmitted via a downlink control information channel (PDCCH), and acquires, from the DCI, information indicating whether only one of the multiple pieces of SRS resource set configuration information is associated with the PUSCH.

Claims (19)

1. A base station apparatus for communicating with a terminal apparatus, the base station apparatus comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit control information of a higher layer to the terminal apparatus for receiving a sounding reference signal (SRS) that is aperiodically transmitted by the terminal apparatus; and

a receiver configured to receive the SRS aperiodically from the terminal apparatus,

wherein the control information comprises (i) an SRS resource set that includes a plurality of SRS resources through which the SRS is transmitted, and (ii) information that indicates a spatial association of the plurality of SRS resources, and

the information indicating the spatial association of the plurality of SRS resources indicates whether or not the plurality of SRS resources is associated with a same spatial parameter in a same cell, wherein the plurality of SRS resources indicates that the same spatial parameter is set in a case that the control information further comprises predetermined information.

2. The base station apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the same spatial parameter comprises at least one of a same uplink (UL) beam and a same antenna panel.

3. A terminal apparatus for communicating with a base station apparatus, the terminal apparatus comprising:

a receiver configured to receive control information of a higher layer from the base station apparatus for transmitting a sounding reference signal (SRS) aperiodically to the base station apparatus; and

a transmitter configured to transmit the SRS aperiodically to the base station apparatus,

wherein the control information comprises (i) an SRS resource set that includes a plurality of SRS resources through which the SRS is transmitted, and (ii) information that indicates a spatial association of the plurality of SRS resources, and

the information indicating the spatial association of the plurality of SRS resources indicates whether or not the plurality of SRS resources is associated with a same spatial parameter in a same cell, wherein the plurality of SRS resources indicates that the same spatial parameter is set in a case that the control information further comprises predetermined information.

4. The terminal apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the same spatial parameter comprises at least one of a same uplink (UL) beam and a same antenna panel.

5. A communication method for a base station apparatus for communicating with a terminal apparatus, the communication method comprising:

transmitting control information of a higher layer to the terminal apparatus for receiving a sounding reference signal (SRS) that is aperiodically transmitted by the terminal apparatus; and

receiving the SRS aperiodically from the terminal apparatus,

wherein the control information comprises (i) an SRS resource set that includes a plurality of SRS resources through which the SRS is transmitted, and (ii) information that indicates a spatial association of the plurality of SRS resources, and

the information indicating the spatial association of the plurality of SRS resources indicates whether or not the plurality of SRS resources is associated with a same spatial parameter in a same cell, wherein the plurality of SRS resources indicates that the same spatial parameter is set in a case that the control information further comprises predetermined information.
