Abstract

A terminal apparatus and a method are provided. The terminal apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive at least a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) in a bandwidth part (BWP), a measurer configured to measure and evaluate one or more values of a channel quality indicator (CQI) by using at least the CSI-RS, the CQI including a wideband CQI or a subband CQI, and to measure and update a value of the wideband CQI in a case that an indicator, corresponding to the BWP, indicates the wideband CQI, and at least one of a first condition and a second condition is not satisfied, and a transmitter configured to transmit a CSI report including the value of the wideband CQI.

Claims (23)

1. A terminal apparatus, comprising:

a receiver configured to receive at least a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) in a bandwidth part (BWP);

a measurer configured to measure and evaluate one or more values of a channel quality indicator (CQI) by using at least one of the CSI-RS and the CQI including a wideband CQI or a subband CQI,

the measurer further configured to measure and update a value of the wideband CQI in a case that an indicator, corresponding to the BWP, indicates the wideband CQI, and at least one of a first condition and a second condition is not satisfied; and

a transmitter configured to transmit a CSI report including the value of the wideband CQI, wherein:

the first condition is that the BWP is in an unlicensed carrier and a plurality of Listen Before Talk (LBT) subbands is configured in the BWP,

the second condition is that an LBT failure is indicated for at least one LBT subband among the plurality of LBT subbands, and

the measurer is further configured to update one or more values of the subband CQI for the plurality of LBT subbands in a case that the indicator indicates the subband CQI.

2. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein in a case that the first condition and the second condition are satisfied, the measurer is further configured to update a value of the subband CQI for at least one of the plurality of LBT subbands in which an LBT is successful and does not update a value of the subband CQI for at least one of the plurality of LBT subbands in which the LBT is unsuccessful.

3. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the indicator is a cqi-FormatIndicator.

4. A method comprising:

receiving at least a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) in a bandwidth part (BWP);

measuring and evaluating one or more values of a channel quality indicator (CQI) by using at least one of the CSI-RS and the CQI including a wideband CQI or a subband CQI;

measuring and updating a value of the wideband CQI in a case that an indicator, corresponding to the BWP, indicates the wideband CQI, and at least one of a first condition and a second condition is not satisfied;

transmitting a CSI report including the value of the wideband CQI, wherein:

the first condition is that the BWP is in an unlicensed carrier and a plurality of Listen Before Talk (LBT) subbands is configured in the BWP,

the second condition is that an LBT failure is indicated for at least one LBT subband among the plurality of LBT subbands; and

updating one or more values of the subband CQI for the plurality of LBT subbands in a case that the indicator indicates the subband CQI.

5. The method according to claim 4 , further comprising;

in a case that the first condition and the second condition are satisfied,

updating a value of the subband CQI for at least one of the plurality of LBT subbands in which an LBT is successful; and

not updating a value of the subband CQI for at least one of the plurality of LBT subbands in which the LBT is unsuccessful.

6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the indicator is a cqi-FormatIndicator.
