Abstract

A terminal according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes a receiving section that receives a channel state information (CSI) report configuration indicating that at least one of CSI for a single transmission/reception point (STRP) and CSI for multi-TRP (Multi TRP (MTRP)) is reported, and a control section that performs control to include, in a CSI report, at least one of the CSI for a STRP and the CSI for MTRP, based on information included in the CSI report configuration. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, even when MTRP is used, CSI measurement and report can be appropriately performed.

Claims (37)

1 . A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives a first channel state information (CSI) report configuration indicating that at least one of CSI for single transmission/reception point (STRP) and CSI for multi TRP (MTRP) is reported, and a second CSI report configuration indicating that both of CSI for STRP and CSI for MTRP are reported; and

a processor that:

performs a first control, based on information included in the first CSI report configuration, to include at least one of the CSI for STRP and the CSI for MTRP in a first CSI report, and

performs a second control for reporting a second CSI report based on:

a configuration for one or two CSIs for STRP included in the second CSI report configuration, and

a configuration for one CSI reporting pair for MTRP included in the second CSI report configuration,

wherein the processor performs the first control when selection between the CSI for STRP and the CSI for MTRP is supported in the first CSI report for the first CSI report configuration, and performs the second control when both the CSI for STRP and the CSI for MTRP are supported in the second CSI report for the second CSI report configuration.

2 . The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the processor includes, in the CSI report, a bit field indicating whether the CSI report corresponds to the CSI for STRP or corresponds to the CSI for MTRP.

3 . The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein when the CSI for MTRP is included in the CSI report, the processor performs a control, based on information included in the CSI report configuration, to include a CSI reporting pair in the CSI report, the CSI reporting pair including two rank indicators (RIs), two layer indicators (LIs), two precoding matrix indicators (PMIs), and one channel quality indicator (CQI).

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

receiving a first channel state information (CSI) report configuration indicating that at least one of CSI for single transmission/reception point (STRP) and CSI for multi TRP (MTRP) is reported, and a second CSI report configuration indicating that both of CSI for STRP and CSI for MTRP are reported;

performing a first control, based on information included in the first CSI report configuration, to include at least one of the CSI for STRP and the CSI for MTRP in a first CSI report, and

performing a second control for reporting a second CSI report based on:

a configuration for one or two CSIs for STRP included in the second CSI report configuration, and

a configuration for one CSI reporting pair for MTRP included in the second CSI report configuration,

wherein the terminal performs the first control when selection between the CSI for STRP and the CSI for MTRP is supported in the first CSI report for the first CSI report configuration, and performs the second control when both the CSI for STRP and the CSI for MTRP are supported in the second CSI report for the second CSI report configuration.

5 . A base station comprising:

a transmitter that transmits, to a terminal, a first channel state information (CSI) report configuration indicating that at least one of CSI for single transmission/reception point (STRP) and CSI for multi TRP (MTRP) is reported, and a second CSI report configuration indicating that both of CSI for STRP and CSI for MTRP are reported; and

a receiver that:

receives, from the terminal, a first CSI report in which at least one of the CSI for STRP and the CSI for MTRP is included by the terminal based on information included in the first CSI report configuration, and

receives, from the terminal, a second CSI report based on:

a configuration for one or two CSIs for STRP included in the second CSI report configuration, and

a configuration for one CSI reporting pair for MTRP included in the second CSI report configuration,

wherein the receiver receives the first CSI report when selection between the CSI for STRP and the CSI for MTRP is supported in the first CSI report for the first CSI report configuration, and receives the second CSI report when both the CSI for STRP and the CSI for MTRP are supported in the second CSI report for the second CSI report configuration.

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

the terminal comprises:

a receiver that receives a first channel state information (CSI) report configuration indicating that at least one of CSI for single transmission/reception point (STRP) and CSI for multi TRP (MTRP) is reported, and a second CSI report configuration indicating that both of CSI for STRP and CSI for MTRP are reported; and

a processor that:

performs a first control, based on information included in the first CSI report configuration, to include at least one of the CSI for STRP and the CSI for MTRP in a first CSI report, and

performs a second control for reporting a second CSI report based on:

a configuration for one or two CSIs for STRP included in the second CSI report configuration, and

a configuration for one CSI reporting pair for MTRP included in the second CSI report configuration,

wherein the processor performs the first control when selection between the CSI for STRP and the CSI for MTRP is supported in the first CSI report for the first CSI report configuration, and performs the second control when both the CSI for STRP and the CSI for MTRP are supported in the second CSI report for the second CSI report configuration, and

the base station comprises:

a transmitter that transmits the first CSI report configuration and the second CSI report configuration to the terminal; and

a receiver that receives the first CSI report and the second CSI report from the terminal.
