Abstract

The present invention includes: 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), wherein the first information field indicates first information, the first information indicates one of multiple states, each of the multiple states is configured for a serving cell, and is associated with: one or more CSI report configurations; one or more reference signal configurations for CSI measurement; and a bandwidth part (BWP) index for the serving cell, and in a case that CSI reports of BWPs in a plurality of the serving cells are triggered, a CSI report of the CSI reports for only a BWP indicated by the BWP index that is activated is transmitted.

Claims (28)

1. A terminal device that communicates with a base station device using a plurality of serving cells, the terminal device comprising:

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

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

the CSI request field indicates first information, the first information indicating one of a plurality of states,

each of the plurality of the states is configured for each of the plurality of the serving cells,

each of the plurality of the states for each of the plurality of the serving cells is associated with one or more CSI report configurations, one or more reference signal configurations, and an index of a downlink bandwidth part (BWP) for each of the plurality of the serving cells, and

the transmission circuitry is configured to transmit the CSI report for activated downlink BWPs associated with the CSI request field and does not transmit the CSI report for deactivated downlink BWPs in a case that the CSI report is triggered.

2. A base station device that communicates with a terminal device using a plurality of serving cells, the base station device comprising:

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

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

the CSI request field indicates first information, the first information indicating one of a plurality of states,

each of the plurality of the states is configured for each of the plurality of the serving cells,

each of the plurality of the states for each of the plurality of the serving cells is associated with one or more CSI report configurations, one or more reference signal configurations, and an index of a downlink bandwidth part (BWP) for each of the plurality of the serving cells, and

the reception circuitry is configured to receive the CSI report for activated downlink BWPs associated with the CSI request field and does not receive the CSI report for deactivated downlink BWPs in a case that the CSI report is triggered.

3. A communication method for a terminal device that communicates with a base station device using a plurality of serving cells, the communication method comprising:

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

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

the CSI request field indicates first information, the first information indicating one of a plurality of states,

each of the plurality of the states is configured for each of the plurality of the serving cells,

each of the plurality of the states for each of the plurality of the serving cells is associated with one or more CSI report configurations, one or more reference signal configurations, and an index of a downlink bandwidth part (BWP) for each of the plurality of the serving cells, and

transmitting the CSI report for activated downlink BWPs associated with the CSI request field and does not transmit the CSI report for deactivated downlink BWPs in a case that the CSI report is triggered.

4. A communication method for a base station device that communicates with a terminal device using a plurality of serving cells, the communication method comprising:

transmitting a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) carrying downlink control information (DCI) including a channel state information (CSI) request field, and

receiving a CSI report based on the CSI request field, wherein

the CSI request field indicates first information, the first information indicating one of a plurality of states,

each of the plurality of the states is configured for each of the plurality of the serving cells,

each of the plurality of the states for each of the plurality of the serving cells is associated with one or more CSI report configurations, one or more reference signal configurations, and an index of a downlink bandwidth part (BWP) for each of the plurality of the serving cells, and

receiving the CSI report for activated downlink BWPs associated with the CSI request field and does not receive the CSI report for deactivated downlink BWPs in a case that the CSI report is triggered.
