Abstract

A user terminal according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: a receiving section that receives configuration information of a plurality of control resource sets configured in a partial band in a carrier; and a control section that controls, when the plurality of control resource sets are configured to have different pieces of presence information indicating whether or not a certain field indicating a state of a transmission configuration indicator is present in a specific downlink control information (DCI) format, monitoring of downlink control information of the specific DCI format in a plurality of search spaces respectively associated with the plurality of control resource sets.

Claims (16)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives configuration information of a plurality of control resource sets configured in a partial band in a carrier; and

a processor that controls, when the plurality of control resource sets are configured to have different presence information indicating whether or not a certain field indicating a state of a transmission configuration indicator is present in a specific downlink control information (DCI) format, monitoring of downlink control information of the specific DCI format in a plurality of search spaces respectively associated with the plurality of control resource sets,

wherein zero is appended to the downlink control information, monitored in a first search space associated with a first control resource set in which the presence information is not enabled, at a position after a last field of the specific DCI format.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein when at least a part of a candidate resource for the specific DCI format overlaps between the first search space and a second search space associated with a second control resource set in which the presence information is enabled, the processor detects the downlink control information in the overlapping candidate resource on the first search space or the second search space.

3. A radio communication method for a terminal, comprising:

receiving configuration information of a plurality of control resource sets configured in a partial band in a carrier; and

controlling, when the plurality of control resource sets are configured to have different presence information indicating whether or not a certain field indicating a state of a transmission configuration indicator is present in a specific downlink control information (DCI) format, monitoring of downlink control information of the specific DCI format in a plurality of search spaces respectively associated with the plurality of control resource sets,

wherein zero is appended to the downlink control information, monitored in a first search space associated with a first control resource set in which the presence information is not enabled, at a position after a last field of the specific DCI format.

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

the terminal comprises:

a receiver that receives configuration information of a plurality of control resource sets; and

a processor that controls, when the plurality of control resource sets are configured to have different presence information indicating whether or not a certain field indicating a state of a transmission configuration indicator is present in a specific downlink control information (DCI) format, monitoring of downlink control information of the specific DCI format in a plurality of search spaces respectively associated with the plurality of control resource sets,

wherein zero is appended to the downlink control information, monitored in a first search space associated with a first control resource set in which the presence information is not enabled, at a position after a last field of the specific DCI format, and

the base station comprises:

a transmitter that transmits the configuration information of the plurality of control resource sets configured in a partial band in a carrier.
