Abstract

A terminal is disclosed including a receiver that receives a measurement instruction that indicates an inter-frequency measurement in a second carrier that is different from a first carrier of a serving cell; and a processor that assumes that frame boundaries of a plurality of cells on the second carrier are aligned, when information indicating whether an index of a synchronization signal block (SSB) transmitted by a neighboring cell can be derived based on a timing of the serving cell or a cell of a target frequency is included in the measurement instruction. In other aspects, a radio communication method of a terminal and a base station are also disclosed.

Claims (10)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives a measurement instruction that indicates an inter-frequency measurement in a second carrier that is different from a first carrier of a serving cell; and

a processor that assumes that frame boundaries of a plurality of cells on the second carrier are aligned, when information indicating that an index of a synchronization signal block (SSB) transmitted by a neighboring cell can be derived based on a timing of the serving cell or a cell of a target frequency is included in the measurement instruction.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein when the information is included in the measurement instruction, the processor derives the index of the SSB of each cell of the second carrier using a timing of one cell on the second carrier.

3. A radio communication method of a terminal comprising:

receiving a measurement instruction that indicates an inter-frequency measurement in a second carrier that is different from a first carrier of a serving cell; and

assuming that frame boundaries of a plurality of cells on the second carrier are aligned when information indicating that an index of a synchronization signal block (SSB) transmitted by a neighboring cell can be derived based on a timing of the serving cell or a cell of a target frequency is included in the measurement instruction.

4. A base station comprising:

a processor that controls to include information indicating that an index of a synchronization signal block (SSB) transmitted by a neighboring cell can be derived based on a timing of a serving cell or a cell of a target frequency in a measurement instruction that indicates an inter-frequency measurement in a second carrier that is different from a first carrier of the serving cell, so as for a terminal to assume that frame boundaries of a plurality of cells on the second carrier are aligned; and

a transmitter that transmits the measurement instruction to the terminal.
