User equipment
In one aspect of the present invention, user equipment includes a reception unit configured to receive first system information in a frequency block where a synchronization signal is placed and third system information in another frequency block; and a control unit configured to stop detecting the synchronization signal, (1) based on a parameter value determined from the first system information, (1-1) when a control channel search space for receiving second system information does not exist and (1-2) when the parameter value is within a predetermined range and (2) when the control channel search space for receiving the second system information does not exist based on a parameter value determined from the third system information.
1. A terminal, comprising:
a receiver that receives first system information in a frequency block where a synchronization signal is placed and third system information in another frequency block; and
a processor that stops detecting the synchronization signal, (1) based on a parameter value determined from the first system information, (1-1) when a control channel search space for receiving second system information does not exist and (1-2) when the parameter value is within a certain range and (2) when the control channel search space for receiving the second system information does not exist based on a parameter value determined from the third system information.
2. The terminal as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the processor assumes that a synchronization signal to be detected does not exist until detection of a synchronization signal in a frequency range that is at least part of a carrier frequency band is completed.
3. The terminal as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the processor assumes that a synchronization signal to be detected does not exist in a frequency range that is at least part of a carrier frequency band until a certain condition is satisfied, (1) based on the parameter value determined from the first system information, (1-1) when the control channel search space for receiving the second system information does not exist and (1-3) when the parameter value is not within the certain range.
4. The terminal as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the first system information is master information block (MIB), the second system information is system information transmitted on a shared channel, and the control channel search space is a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) search space to be detected in common by terminals in a cell.
5. The terminal as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the processor assumes that a synchronization signal to be detected does not exist in a frequency range that is at least part of a carrier frequency band until a certain condition is satisfied, (1) based on the parameter value determined from the first system information, (1-1) when the control channel search space for receiving the second system information does not exist and (1-3) when the parameter value is not within the certain range.
6. The terminal as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the processor assumes that the synchronization signal to be detected does not exist in the frequency range until a certain time period has elapsed.
7. The terminal as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the processor resumes detection of the synchronization signal in the frequency range after the certain condition is satisfied.
8. The terminal as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the first system information is master information block (MIB), the second system information is system information transmitted on a shared channel, and the control channel search space is a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) search space to be detected in common by terminals in a cell.
9. The terminal as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the processor resumes detection of the synchronization signal in the frequency range after the certain condition is satisfied.
10. The terminal as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the first system information is master information block (MIB), the second system information is system information transmitted on a shared channel, and the control channel search space is a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) search space to be detected in common by terminals in a cell.
11. The terminal as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the first system information is master information block (MIB), the second system information is system information transmitted on a shared channel, and the control channel search space is a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) search space to be detected in common by terminals in a cell.
12. The terminal as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first system information is master information block (MIB), the second system information is system information transmitted on a shared channel, and the control channel search space is a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) search space to be detected in common by terminals in a cell.
13. A synchronization signal detection method in a terminal, comprising:
receiving first system information in a frequency block where a synchronization signal is placed and third system information in another frequency block; and
stopping detecting the synchronization signal, (1) based on a parameter value determined from the first system information, (1-1) when a control channel search space for receiving second system information does not exist and (1-2) when the parameter value is within a certain range and (2) when the control channel search space for receiving the second system information does not exist based on a parameter value determined from the third system information.
