Abstract

A terminal according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a receiving section that monitors a downlink control channel (Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH)) in a control resource set (CORESET), and a control section that does not assume that a CSI-RS resource associated with a non zero power channel state information reference signal (NZP-CSI-RS) resource set in which a higher layer parameter about repetition is on and related to a CORESET pool index same as a CORESET pool index of the CORESET is configured for a symbol configured to monitor the CORESET. According to one aspect of the present disclosure, collision between a plurality of channels/signals can be handled appropriately.

Claims (37)

1 . A terminal comprising:

a transmitter that transmits capability information indicating support of simultaneous reception of signals of different spatial reception parameters;

a processor that controls reception of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block; and

a receiver that receives the PDSCH and the SS/PBCH block,

wherein when:

the transmitter transmits the capability information,

two control resource set (CORESET) pool indices are configured, and a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for the PDSCH and the SS/PBCH block are received in a same symbol,

the processor assumes that the DMRS for the PDSCH and the SS/PBCH block are quasi co-located (QCLed) with respect to a spatial reception parameter.

2 . The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein when:

two transmission configuration indication (TCI) states are indicated by at least one TCI codepoint, and

the DMRS for the PDSCH and the SS/PBCH block are received in a same symbol,

the processor assumes that a signal of a spatial reception parameter out of the two TCI states is QCLed with the SS/PBCH block with respect to a spatial reception parameter.

3 . The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein when:

the transmitter transmits the capability information,

two TCI states are indicated by at least one TCI codepoint, and

the DMRS for the PDSCH and the SS/PBCH block are received in a same symbol,

the processor assumes that a signal of a spatial reception parameter out of the two TCI states is QCLed with the SS/PBCH block with respect to a spatial reception parameter.

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

transmitting capability information indicating support of simultaneous reception of signals of different spatial reception parameters;

controlling reception of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block;

receiving the PDSCH and the SS/PBCH block; and

when:

the capability information is transmitted,

two control resource set (CORESET) pool indices are configured, and a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for the PDSCH and the SS/PBCH block are received in a same symbol,

assuming that the DMRS for the PDSCH and the SS/PBCH block are quasi co-located (QCLed) with respect to a spatial reception parameter.

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

the terminal comprises:

a transmitter that transmits capability information indicating support of simultaneous reception of signals of different spatial reception parameters;

a processor that controls reception of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block; and

a receiver that receives the PDSCH and the SS/PBCH block,

wherein when:

the transmitter transmits the capability information,

two control resource set (CORESET) pool indices are configured, and

a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for the PDSCH and the SS/PBCH block are received in a same symbol,

the processor assumes that the DMRS for the PDSCH and the SS/PBCH block are quasi co-located (QCLed) with respect to a spatial reception parameter, and

the base station comprises:

a transmitter that transmits the PDSCH and the SS/PBCH block.
