Abstract

To efficiently transmit a sounding reference signal. One or more downlink BWPs are configured in a serving cell, one or more uplink BWPs are configured in a serving cell, each BWP of the one or more downlink BWPs is identified by a downlink BWP index, each BWP of the one or more uplink BWPs is identified by the uplink BWP index, and in a case that one of the one or more downlink BWPs configured is activated in a serving cell, one of the one or more uplink BWPs configured is activated in a serving cell, and an SRS transmission in one or more serving cells of a plurality of the serving cells is triggered, the SRS for the BWP indicated by the uplink BWP index activated in the serving cell activated is transmitted.

Claims (24)

1. A terminal device configured and/or programmed to communicate with a base station device using a plurality of serving cells, the terminal device comprising:

higher layer circuitry configured and/or programmed to receive a configuration of one or more sounding reference signal (SRS) sets for each uplink bandwidth part (BWP) in each of the plurality of the serving cells,

reception circuitry configured and/or programmed to receive a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) carrying downlink control information (DCI) including a first information field, and

transmission circuitry configured and/or programmed to transmit one or more SRSs in one or more SRS resource sets corresponding to a state indicated by a code point of the first information field, wherein

each of the one or more SRS resource sets is associated with the state,

the transmission circuitry is configured and/or programmed to transmit the SRS resources of one or more SRS resource sets of activated BWPs associated with the state corresponding to the code point of the first information field in a case that SRS transmission is triggered.

2. A base station device configured and/or programmed to communicate with a terminal device using a plurality of serving cells, the base station device comprising:

higher layer circuitry configured and/or programmed to transmit a configuration of one or more sounding reference signal (SRS) sets for each uplink bandwidth part (BWP) in each of the plurality of the serving cells,

transmission circuitry configured and/or programmed to transmit a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) carrying downlink control information (DCI) including a first information field, and

reception circuitry configured and/or programmed to receive one or more SRSs in one or more SRS resource sets corresponding to a state indicated by a code point of the first information field, wherein

each of the one or more SRS resource sets is associated with the state,

the reception circuitry is configured and/or programmed to receive the SRS resources of one or more SRS resource sets of activated BWPs associated with the state corresponding to the code point of the first information field in a case that SRS transmission is triggered.

3. A communication method by using a terminal device, the terminal device configured and/or programmed to communicate with a base station device using a plurality of serving cells, the communication method comprising:

receiving a configuration of one or more sounding reference signal (SRS) sets for each uplink bandwidth part (BWP) in each of the plurality of the serving cells,

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

transmitting one or more SRSs in one or more SRS resource sets corresponding to a state indicated by a code point of the first information field, wherein

each of the one or more SRS resource sets is associated with the state,

transmitting the SRS resources of one or more SRS resource sets of activated BWPs associated with the state corresponding to the code point of the first information field in a case that SRS transmission is triggered.

4. A communication method by using a base station device, the base station device configured and/or programmed to communicate with a terminal device using a plurality of serving cells, the communication method comprising:

transmitting a configuration of one or more sounding reference signal (SRS) sets for each uplink bandwidth part (BWP) in each of the plurality of the serving cells,

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

receiving one or more0 SRSs in one or more SRS resource sets corresponding to a state indicated by a code point of the first information field, wherein

each of the one or more SRS resource sets is associated with the state,

receiving the SRS resources of one or more SRS resource sets of activated BWPs associated with the state corresponding to the code point of the first information field in a case that SRS transmission is triggered.
