Abstract

To prevent deterioration of communication quality even when communication is performed by using a plurality of transmission points, one aspect of a user terminal according to the present disclosure includes: a receiving section that receives a physical shared channel transmitted from a plurality of transmission points, based on certain downlink control information; and a control section that determines at least one of rate matching, quasi-co-location, and a resource to be assigned for the physical shared channel transmitted from the plurality of transmission points, based on the downlink control information.

Claims (22)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives a medium access control-control element (MAC CE) activating one or more transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states among one or more TCI states configured by higher layer signaling; and

a processor that determines a number of physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) to which receiving processing is performed, based on higher layer signaling associated with time domain resource assignment for PDSCH,

wherein the processor determines that the number of PDSCHs to which the receiving processing is performed is one if a number of TCI states indicated by downlink control information (DCI) among the one or more TCI states activated by the MAC CE is one, and determines that the number of PDSCHs to which the receiving processing is performed is two if a number of TCI states indicated by the DCI among the one or more TCI states activated by the MAC CE is two.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the processor applies, if two different types of the TCI states are indicated by the DCI, a redundancy version corresponding to one TCI state to one PDSCH among the two PDSCH and a redundancy version corresponding to another TCI state to another PDSCH.

3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein a time domain resource assignment corresponding to each PDSCH is separately configured when the processor determines that the number of PDSCHs is two.

4. A radio communication method for a terminal comprising:

receiving a medium access control-control element (MAC CE) activating one or more transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states among one or more TCI states configured by higher layer signaling;

determining a number of physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) to which receiving processing is performed, based on higher layer signaling associated with time domain resource assignment for PDSCH,

wherein the terminal determines that the number of PDSCHs to which the receiving processing is performed is one if a number of TCI states indicated by downlink control information (DCI) among the one or more TCI states activated by the MAC CE is one, and determines that the number of PDSCHs to which the receiving processing is performed is two if a number of TCI states indicated by the DCI among the one or more TCI states activated by the MAC CE is two.

5. A base station comprising:

a transmitter that transmits, to a terminal, a medium access control-control element (MAC CE) activating one or more transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states among one or more TCI states configured by higher layer signaling; and

a processor that determines a number of physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) to which receiving processing is performed by the terminal, based on higher layer signaling associated with time domain resource assignment for PDSCH,

wherein the processor determines that the number of PDSCHs to which the receiving processing is performed is one if a number of TCI states indicated by downlink control information (DCI) among the one or more TCI states activated by the MAC CE is one, and determines that the number of PDSCHs to which the receiving processing is performed is two if a number of TCI states indicated by the DCI among the one or more TCI states activated by the MAC CE is two.

6. A system comprising a terminal and a base station: wherein

the terminal comprises:

a receiver that receives a medium access control-control element (MAC CE) activating one or more transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states among one or more TCI states configured by higher layer signaling; and

a first processor that determines a number of physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) to which receiving processing is performed, based on higher layer signaling associated with time domain resource assignment for PDSCH,

wherein the first processor determines that the number of PDSCHs to which the receiving processing is performed is one if a number of TCI states indicated by downlink control information (DCI) among the one or more TCI states activated by the MAC CE is one, and determines that the number of PDSCHs to which the receiving processing is performed is two if a number of TCI states indicated by the DCI among the one or more TCI states activated by the MAC CE is two;

the base station comprises:

a transmitter that transmits the MAC CE to the terminal; and

a second processor that determines the number of PDSCH to which receiving processing is performed by the terminal.
