Abstract

A UE receives a radio signal via a receive beam. The UE controls the receive beam in a first state or in a second state where control of the receive beam is different from that of the first state. The UE directs at least one receive beam to a serving cell and directs another receive beam to a direction different from the serving cell in a case of controlling the receive beam in the second state and executing configuration regarding a secondary cell.

Claims (6)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives a data channel and a reference signal in different bands in an inter-band carrier aggregation; and

a processor that simultaneously performs reception of the data channel in a first band and measurement of received power using the reference signal in a second band different from the first band by independently controlling a plurality of beams.

2. A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives a reference signal for detecting a beam fault and a data channel in different bands in an inter-band carrier aggregation; and

a processor that simultaneously executes measurement using the reference signal for detecting a beam fault in a first band and reception of the data channel in a second band different from the first band by independently controlling a plurality of beams.
