Abstract

One aspect of a user terminal of the present disclosure includes: a transmission section that transmits information regarding a new candidate beam in a case where a beam failure of a given cell is detected; and a control section that uses a given reference signal as a reference signal for the new candidate beam in a case where the reference signal for the new candidate beam is not configured.

Claims (34)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiver that:

receives information regarding a cell among a configured cell group comprising a plurality of cells, a reference signal for a candidate beam configured in the cell identified by the information, and

receives information regarding an index of the reference signal for the candidate beam; and

a processor that, in response to beam failure detection, controls to transmit a recovery request on a configured PUCCH resource, and transmit, using MAC CE, information other than the recovery request,

wherein the information other than the recovery request indicates that there is no reference signal for a candidate beam with received power being greater than or equal to a threshold value configured by higher layer signaling, and

wherein the receiver receives, by higher layer signaling, the information regarding the cell and the information regarding the index of the reference signal for the candidate beam, and a reference signal for a candidate beam corresponding to each cell is always configured in a specific frequency bandwidth.

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

receiving information regarding a cell among a configured cell group comprising a plurality of cells, a reference signal for a candidate beam configured in the cell identified by the information,

receiving information regarding an index of the reference signal for the candidate beam; and

in response to beam failure detection, controlling to transmit a recovery request on a configured PUCCH resource, and transmit, using MAC CE, information other than the recovery request,

wherein the information other than the recovery request indicates that there is no reference signal for a candidate beam with received power being greater than or equal to a threshold value configured by higher layer signaling, and

wherein the terminal receives, by higher layer signaling, the information regarding the cell and the information regarding the index of the reference signal for the candidate beam, and a reference signal for a candidate beam corresponding to each cell is always configured in a specific frequency bandwidth.

3. A base station comprising:

a transmitter that:

transmits, to a terminal, information regarding a cell among a configured cell group comprising a plurality of cells, a reference signal for a candidate beam configured in the cell identified by the information, and

transmits information regarding an index of the reference signal for the candidate beam; and

a processor that, in response to beam failure detection in the terminal, controls a reception of a recovery request on a configured PUCCH resource, and a reception, using MAC CE, of information other than the recovery request that is transmitted from the terminal based on the information regarding the index of the reference signal for the candidate beam,

wherein the information other than the recovery request indicates that there is no reference signal for a candidate beam with received power being greater than or equal to a threshold value configured by higher layer signaling, and

wherein the transmitter transmits, by higher layer signaling, the information regarding the cell and the information regarding the index of the reference signal for the candidate beam, and a reference signal for a candidate beam corresponding to each cell is always configured in a specific frequency bandwidth.

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

the terminal comprises:

a receiver that:

receives information regarding a cell among a configured cell group comprising a plurality of cells, a reference signal for a candidate beam configured in the cell identified by the information, and

receives information regarding an index of the reference signal for the candidate beam; and

a processor of the terminal that, in response to beam failure detection, controls to transmit a recovery request on a configured PUCCH resource, and transmit, using MAC CE, information other than the recovery request,

wherein the information other than the recovery request indicates that there is no reference signal for a candidate beam with received power being greater than or equal to a threshold value, configured by higher layer signaling, and

wherein the receiver receives, by higher layer signaling, the information regarding the cell and the information regarding the index of the reference signal for the candidate beam, and a reference signal for a candidate beam corresponding to each cell is always configured in a specific frequency bandwidth, and

the base station comprises:

a transmitter that:

transmits, to the terminal, the information regarding the cell among the configured cell group comprising the plurality of cells, the reference signal for the candidate beam configured in the cell identified by the information, and

transmits the information regarding the index of the reference signal for the candidate beam; and

a processor of the base station that controls a reception of the recovery request on the configured PUCCH resource, and a reception, using MAC CE, of the information other than the recovery request that is transmitted from the terminal based on the information regarding the index of the reference signal for the candidate beam,

wherein the information other than the recovery request indicates that there is no reference signal for a candidate beam with received power being greater than or equal to the threshold value configured by higher layer signaling.
