Abstract

A user apparatus in a radio communication system including a base station and the user apparatus, including: a reception unit configured to receive a plurality of predetermined signals transmitted from the base station by a plurality of beams; and a transmission unit configured to transmit a preamble using a resource corresponding to at least one beam of the plurality of beams, wherein the reception unit measures a reception quality for each of the plurality of beams, and the transmission unit transmits the preamble using a resource corresponding to a beam of a reception quality that satisfies a predetermined condition.

Claims (33)

1. A terminal comprising:

a transceiver coupled to a processor that measures power of synchronization signal blocks received from a base station,

wherein the processor selects a synchronization signal block with measured power above a threshold,

wherein the transceiver transmits a preamble using a resource corresponding to the selected synchronization signal block, and

wherein the transceiver performs retransmission for preamble transmission that uses the resource, the retransmission being performed using another resource corresponding to the selected synchronizations signal block or another synchronization signal block with measured power above the threshold.

2. A terminal comprising:

a transceiver coupled to a processor that measures power of synchronization signal blocks received from a base station,

wherein the processor selects a synchronization signal block with measured power above a threshold,

wherein the transceiver transmits a preamble using a resource corresponding to the selected synchronization signal block, and

wherein responsive to determining that random access response reception by the transceiver for a preamble transmitted using the resource is not successful, the transceiver performs another preamble transmission using another resource corresponding to the selected synchronization signal block or another synchronization signal block with received power above the threshold.

3. The terminal as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the transceiver receives the threshold from the base station.

4. The terminal as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the synchronization signal block includes a synchronization signal and a broadcast channel.

5. The terminal as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the synchronization signal block includes a synchronization signal and a broadcast channel.

6. The terminal as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the transceiver receives the threshold from the base station.

7. The terminal as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the synchronization signal block includes a synchronization signal and a broadcast channel.

8. A base station comprising:

a transmitter that transmits synchronization signal blocks; and

a receiver that receives a preamble transmitted by a terminal using a resource corresponding to a synchronization signal block with measured power above a threshold,

wherein the receiver receives a preamble by retransmission for preamble transmission that uses the resource, the retransmission being performed using another resource corresponding to the synchronization signal block or another synchronization signal block with measured power above the threshold.

9. A base station comprising:

a transmitter that transmits synchronization signal blocks; and

a receiver that receives a preamble transmitted by a terminal using a resource corresponding to a synchronization signal block with measured power above a threshold,

wherein responsive to determining that random access response transmission by the transmitter for a preamble received using the resource is not successful, the receiver performs another preamble reception using another resource corresponding to the synchronization signal block or another synchronization signal block with received power above the threshold.

10. A radio communication method for a terminal comprising:

measuring power of synchronization signal blocks received from a base station;

selecting a synchronization signal block with measured power above a threshold;

transmitting a preamble using a resource corresponding to the selected synchronization signal block; and

performing retransmission for preamble transmission that uses the resource, the retransmission being performed using another resource corresponding to the selected synchronization signal block or another synchronization signal block with measured power above the threshold.

11. A radio communication method for a terminal comprising:

measuring power of synchronization signal blocks received from a base station;

selecting a synchronization signal block with measured power above a threshold; and

transmitting a preamble using a resource corresponding to the selected synchronization signal block,

wherein responsive to determining that random access response transmission for a preamble received using the resource is not successful, another preamble reception is performed using another resource corresponding to the selected synchronization signal block or another synchronization signal block with received power above the threshold.
