Abstract

A user terminal according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes: a receiving section that receives downlink control information including a given field indicating a frequency domain resource to be assigned to a downlink shared channel or an uplink shared channel; and a control section that controls reception of the downlink shared channel or transmission of the uplink shared channel based on whether or not information related to a band for initial access in a carrier is given by a higher layer.

Claims (22)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives a downlink control information including a field that indicates a frequency domain resource, assigned to a downlink shared channel; and

a processor that determines an initial downlink bandwidth part (BWP) based on whether information regarding the initial downlink BWP, within a cell, is provided via a higher layer, the determined initial downlink BWP being used for determining a number of bits of the field.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein, if the information regarding the initial downlink BWP is provided, the processor determines the initial downlink BWP based on the information regarding the initial downlink BWP.

3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein if the information regarding the initial downlink BWP is not provided, the processor determines the initial downlink BWP as a bandwidth provided by an index of a master information block (MIB).

4. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein if the information regarding the initial downlink BWP is not provided, the processor determines the initial downlink BWP as a bandwidth provided by an index of a master information block (MIB).

5. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein bit selection during rate matching of the downlink shared channel is controlled based on the initial downlink BWP.

6. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein bit selection during rate matching of the downlink shared channel is controlled based on the initial downlink BWP.

7. The terminal according to claim 3 , wherein bit selection during rate matching of the downlink shared channel is controlled based on the initial downlink BWP.

8. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the information regarding the initial downlink BWP is contained in a system information block (SIB1) or a radio resource control (RRC) message.

9. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the information regarding the initial downlink BWP is contained in a system information block (SIB1) or a radio resource control (RRC) message.

10. The terminal according to claim 3 , wherein the information regarding the initial downlink BWP is contained in a system information block (SIB1) or a radio resource control (RRC) message.

11. The terminal according to claim 5 , wherein the information regarding the initial downlink BWP is contained in a system information block (SIB1) or a radio resource control (RRC) message.

12. A radio communication method for a terminal comprising:

receiving a downlink control information including a field that indicates a frequency domain resource, assigned to a downlink shared channel; and

determining an initial downlink bandwidth part (BWP) based on whether information regarding the initial downlink BWP, within a cell, is provided via a higher layer, the determined initial downlink BWP being used for determining a number of bits of the field.

13. A system comprising a base station and a terminal, wherein:

the base station comprises:

a transmitter that transmits a downlink control information including a field that indicates a frequency domain resource, assigned to a downlink shared channel, and

the terminal comprises:

a receiver that receives the downlink control information; and

a processor that determines an initial downlink bandwidth part (BWP) based on whether information regarding the initial downlink BWP, within a cell, is provided via a higher layer, the determined initial downlink BWP being used for determining a number of bits of the field.
