Abstract

A user terminal according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a control section that assumes that spatial relation of specific uplink transmission is same as a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state of a specific downlink channel or quasi-co-location (QCL) assumption, and a transmitting section that performs the specific uplink transmission by using the spatial relation. According to one aspect of the present disclosure, control of a UL beam can be appropriately performed.

Claims (15)

1. A terminal comprising:

a processor that assumes that, when a higher layer parameter indicating spatial relation information of a sounding reference signal (SRS) transmitted in a frequency higher than 6 GHz is not configured, a spatial relation of the SRS is the same as an active transmission configuration indication (TCI) state of a downlink shared channel (PDSCH); and

a transmitter that transmits the SRS by using the spatial relation.

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

assuming that, when a higher layer parameter indicating spatial relation information of a sounding reference signal (SRS) transmitted in a frequency higher than 6 GHz is not configured, a spatial relation of the SRS is the same as an active transmission configuration indication (TCI) state of a downlink shared channel (PDSCH); and

transmitting the SRS by using the spatial relation.

3. A base station comprising:

a processor that assumes that, when a higher layer parameter indicating spatial relation information of a sounding reference signal (SRS) transmitted in a frequency higher than 6 GHz is not configured in a terminal, a spatial relation of the SRS is the same as an active transmission configuration indication (TCI) state of a downlink shared channel (PDSCH); and

a receiver that receives the SRS by using the spatial relation.

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

the terminal comprises:

a processor that assumes that, when a higher layer parameter indicating spatial relation information of a sounding reference signal (SRS) transmitted in a frequency higher than 6 GHz is not configured, a spatial relation of the SRS is the same as an active transmission configuration indication (TCI) state of a downlink shared channel (PDSCH); and

a transmitter that transmits the SRS by using the spatial relation, and

the base station comprises:

a receiver that receives the SRS.
