Terminal device, base station device, radio communication method, and integrated circuit
A terminal device derives the number of repetitive transmissions and/or repetitive receptions required on the basis of the downlink reference signal received power, compares that number with the number of repetitive transmissions and/or repetitive receptions configured in the terminal device, performs a random access procedure upon the numbers being different from each other, and determines a configuration for the number of some or all repetitive transmissions and/or repetitive receptions during the random access procedure on the basis of the former number of repetitions.
1. A terminal device comprising:
reception circuitry configured to receive information indicating a number of transmission repetitions for physical downlink control channel, and
physical layer control circuitry configured to perform radio link monitoring based on a threshold being defined as a level of a downlink radio link, wherein

a value of the threshold corresponds to a specific block error rate of a physical downlink control channel transmission with the number of transmission repetitions,
the value of the threshold is used to determine whether the physical layer control circuitry notifies the higher layer of the out-of-sync indication,
