Abstract

A user terminal, when using a high frequency band having a frequency higher than a certain frequency band including one or a plurality of frequency ranges, increases number of symbols constituting one slot. The user terminal transmits and receives signals by using the slot with the increased number of symbols.

Claims (8)

1. A terminal comprising:

a processor that, when using a high frequency band having a frequency higher than a certain frequency band including one or a plurality of frequency ranges, increases a monitoring interval of a physical downlink control channel than when using the certain frequency band;

a receiver that receives the physical downlink control channel based on the monitoring interval that is larger than when using the certain frequency band; and

a transmitter that transmits a terminal capability for monitoring of the physical downlink control channel having a minimum gap of the monitoring interval.

2. A radio communication method comprising:

when using a high frequency band having a frequency higher than a certain frequency band including one or a plurality of frequency ranges, increasing a monitoring interval of a physical downlink control channel than when using the certain frequency band;

receiving the physical downlink control channel based on the monitoring interval that is larger than when using the certain frequency band; and

transmitting a terminal capability for monitoring of the physical downlink control channel having a minimum gap of the monitoring interval.
