Abstract

The present invention is designed so that adequate communication is allowed even when system information is changed. The present invention provides a receiving section that receives a DL signal, which includes information that orders a modification of system information, and a control section that controls the modification of the system information based on the DL signal, and, when information related to content of the modification of the system information is included in the information ordering the modification, the control section changes a part or all of the system information based on the information related to the content of the modification. Also, in the modification order information, information to indicate that the system information is not changed and information to indicate the content of the modification when the system information is changed are defined as different pieces of bit information in the same bit field.

Claims (17)

1. A user terminal, comprising:

a receiver that receives downlink control information (DCI) in a given DCI format used for indication of system information modification; and

a processor that controls reception of information related to the indication of system information modification based on a given flag transmitted by the DCI,

wherein, when the given flag is a first value, the processor determines that information included in the DCI is the information related to the indication of system information modification, and when the given flag is a second value, the processor determines that the information included in the DCI is information related to allocation of paging information, wherein the scheduling information of a downlink shared channel that carries the information related to the allocation of the paging information is included in the DCI, and

when the given flag is the second value, the processor controls the reception of the paging information based on the information related to the allocation of paging information included in the DCI, and a modulation coding scheme (MCS) included in the DCI.

2. The user terminal according to claim 1 , wherein when the given flag is the second value, the information related to the allocation of the paging information is allocated to a downlink shared channel that is scheduled by the DCI.

3. The user terminal according to claim 2 , wherein when the given flag is the first value, the DCI includes, in addition to the information related to the indication of system information modification, information to indicate at least one of Earthquake and Tsunami Warning System (ETWS), CMAS (Commercial Mobile Alert Service) and EAB (Extended Access Barring) and the DCI does not include allocation information of a downlink shared channel.

4. The user terminal according to claim 2 , wherein at least one piece of the information related to the indication of system information modification is information that is configured in advance in system information.

5. The user terminal according to claim 1 , wherein when the given flag is the first value, the DCI includes, in addition to the information related to the indication of system information modification, information to indicate at least one of Earthquake and Tsunami Warning System (ETWS), CMAS (Commercial Mobile Alert Service) and EAB (Extended Access Barring) and the DCI does not include allocation information of a downlink shared channel.

6. The user terminal according to claim 5 , wherein at least one piece of the information related to the indication of system information modification is information that is configured in advance in system information.

7. The user terminal according to claim 1 , wherein at least one piece of the information related to the indication of system information modification is information that is configured in advance in system information.

8. The user terminal according to claim 1 , wherein, the user terminal is a user terminal of which a usage band is restricted to a narrow band that is a part of a system band.

9. A radio base station comprising:

a transmitter that transmits downlink control information (DCI) in a given DCI format used for indication of system information modification to a user terminal; and

a processor that controls an indication method of information related to indication of system information modification by using a given flag transmitted by the DCI,

wherein, when the given flag is a first value, the processor determines that information included in the DCI is the information related to the indication of system information modification, and when the given flag is a second value, the processor determines that the information included in the DCI is information related to allocation of paging information, wherein the scheduling information of a downlink shared channel that carries the information related to the allocation of the paging information is included in the DCI, and

when the given flag is a second value, the processor controls the reception of the paging information based on the information related to the allocation of paging information included in the DCI, and a modulation coding scheme (MCS) included in the DCI.
