Abstract

In order to properly notify of resources in which a synchronization signal block is transmitted in the future radio communication system, a user terminal has a receiving section that receives pattern information indicating whether or not a synchronization signal block is transmitted in each of a plurality of transmission candidate positions within a group of transmission candidate positions of the synchronization signal block, and group information indicating a method of applying the pattern information to each of a plurality of groups, and a control section that controls, based on the group information, one of assuming that the synchronization signal block is transmitted in all transmission candidate positions within a particular group, and of determining the plurality of transmission candidate positions within the particular group according to the pattern information.

Claims (10)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiving section that receives pattern information indicating whether or not a synchronization signal block is transmitted in each of a plurality of transmission candidate positions within a group of transmission candidate positions of the synchronization signal block, and group information indicating a method of applying the pattern information to each of a plurality of groups; and

a control section that controls, based on the group information, one of assuming that the synchronization signal block is transmitted in all transmission candidate positions within a particular group, and of determining the plurality of transmission candidate positions within the particular group according to the pattern information.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein when an element that corresponds to the particular group in the group information is a particular value, the control section assumes that the synchronization signal block is transmitted in all transmission candidate positions within the particular group.

3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving section receives instruction information on an interpretation of the group information, and when an element that corresponds to the particular group in the group information is a particular value, based on the instruction information, the control section judges assuming that the synchronization signal block is transmitted in all transmission candidate positions within the particular group or assuming that the synchronization signal block is not transmitted in all transmission candidate positions within the particular group.

4. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving section further receives additional pattern information indicating whether or not the synchronization signal block is transmitted in each of the plurality of transmission candidate positions, and the control section determines the plurality of transmission candidate positions within the particular group, according to one of an element that corresponds to the particular group in the group information, the pattern information and the additional pattern information.

5. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving section receives configuration information for configuring one of downlink, uplink and flexible for a particular period, and when the configuration information indicates uplink, irrespective of the group information and the pattern information, the control section assumes that the synchronization signal block is not transmitted in the particular period.

6. A radio communication method of a terminal, including:

receiving pattern information indicating whether or not a synchronization signal block is transmitted in each of a plurality of transmission candidate positions within a group of transmission candidate positions of the synchronization signal block, and group information indicating a method of applying the pattern information to each of a plurality of groups; and

controlling, based on the group information, one of assuming that the synchronization signal block is transmitted in all transmission candidate positions within a particular group, and of determining the plurality of transmission candidate positions within the particular group according to the pattern information.
