Abstract

To efficiently transmit CSI. A receiver configured to receive a physical downlink control channel for conveying downlink control information including a first information field and a transmitter configured to report channel state information (CSI) are included, wherein the first information field indicates first information, the first information indicates one of multiple states, each of the multiple states is associated with a configuration related to one or multiple CSI reports and a configuration related to one or multiple CSI resources, and the one of the multiple states is configured to be associated with a first serving cell and a bandwidth part (BWP) of the first serving cell.

Claims (35)

1. A terminal apparatus comprising:

an upper layer processing circuitry configured to receive a configuration list related to a channel state information (CSI) report and information related to a trigger of the CSI report;

a reception circuitry configured to receive, via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), downlink control information (DCI) including a CSI request field; and

a transmission circuitry configured to transmit the CSI report based on the CSI request field, wherein

the transmission circuitry is configured to transmit a CSI report of an activated downlink bandwidth part (BWP) related to the CSI request field in a case that the CSI report is triggered and the downlink BWP is active,

the transmission circuitry is further configured not to transmit a CSI report of a deactivated downlink BWP, in a case that the CSI report is triggered and the downlink BWP is inactive,

the configuration list related to the CSI report indicates a plurality of CSI trigger states,

the information related to the trigger of the CSI report indicates a size N TS of the CSI request field in the DCI,

each of code points of the CSI request field is mapped to one of the plurality of CSI trigger states, one of the plurality of CSI trigger states is selected by a medium access control (MAC) processing circuitry of the terminal apparatus in a case that a number of CSI trigger states in the plurality of CSI trigger states is greater than 2{circumflex over ( )}(N TS )−1,

the CSI request field directly indicates the selected one of the plurality of CSI trigger states and a Quasi-Co-Location (QCL) assumption in a case that the number of CSI trigger states in the plurality of the CSI trigger states is equal to or less than 2{circumflex over ( )}(N TS )−1,

the MAC processing circuitry is configured to give an indication of the selected one of the plurality of CSI trigger states, and

one of the plurality of CSI trigger states corresponding to “1” in the indication is mapped to a code point of the CSI request field.

2. A communication method used for a terminal apparatus, the communication method comprising:

receiving a configuration list related to a channel state information (CSI) report and information related to a trigger of the CSI report;

receiving, via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), downlink control information (DCI) including a CSI request field; and

transmitting the CSI report based on the CSI request field, wherein

a CSI report of an activated downlink bandwidth part (BWP) related to the CSI request field is transmitted in a case that the CSI report is triggered and the downlink BWP is active,

a CSI report of a deactivated downlink BWP is not transmitted in a case that the CSI report is triggered and the downlink BWP is inactive,

the configuration list related to the CSI report indicates a plurality of CSI trigger states,

the information related to the trigger of the CSI report indicates a size N TS of the CIS request field in the DCI,

each of code points of the CSI request field is mapped to one of the plurality of CSI trigger states, one of the plurality of CSI trigger states is selected by a medium access control (MAC) processing circuitry of the terminal apparatus in a case that a number of CSI trigger states in the plurality of CSI trigger states is greater than 2{circumflex over ( )}(N TS )−1,

the CSI request field directly indicates the selected one of the plurality of CSI trigger states and a Quasi-Co-Location (QCL) assumption in a case that the number of CSI trigger states in the plurality of the CSI trigger states is equal to or less than 2{circumflex over ( )}(N TS )−1,

the MAC processing circuitry is configured to give an indication of the selected one of the plurality of CSI trigger states, and

one of the plurality of CSI trigger states corresponding to “1” in the indication is mapped to a code point of the CSI request field.

3. A base station apparatus comprising:

an upper layer processing circuitry configured to transmit a configuration list related to a channel state information (CSI) report and information related to a trigger of the CSI report;

a transmission circuitry configured to transmit, via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), downlink control information (DCI) including a CSI request field; and

a reception circuitry configured to receive the CSI report based on the CSI request field, wherein

the reception circuitry is configured to receive a CSI report of an activated downlink bandwidth part (BWP) related to the CSI request field in a case that the CSI report is triggered and the downlink BWP is active,

the reception circuitry is further configured not to receive a CSI report of a deactivated downlink BWP, in a case that the CSI report is triggered and the downlink BWP is inactive,

the configuration list related to the CSI report indicates a plurality of CSI trigger states,

the information related to the trigger of the CSI report indicates a size N TS of the CSI request field in the DCI,

each of code points of the CSI request field is mapped to one of the plurality of CSI trigger states, one of the plurality of CSI trigger states is selected by a terminal apparatus in a case that a number of CSI trigger states in the plurality of CSI trigger states is greater than 2{circumflex over ( )}(N TS )−1,

the CSI request field directly indicates the selected one of the plurality of CSI trigger states and a Quasi-Co-Location (QCL) assumption in a case that the number of CSI trigger states in the plurality of the CSI trigger states is equal to or less than 2{circumflex over ( )}(N TS )−1, and

one of the plurality of CSI trigger states corresponding to “1” in the indication is mapped to a code point of the CSI request field in a case of indication of the selected one of the plurality of CSI trigger states.
