Abstract

To appropriately perform a Beam Failure Recovery (BFR) procedure even when communication is performed by using a plurality of transmission reception points in a future radio communication system, one aspect of a user terminal according to the present disclosure includes: a receiving section that receives one or more pieces of downlink control information and a first reference signal for beam failure detection, the one or more pieces of downlink control information being used to schedule downlink shared channels transmitted from a plurality of transmission reception points; and a control section that detects a beam failure of a transmission reception point associated with the first reference signal.

Claims (23)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives, from a plurality of transmission reception points (TRPs), respectively, a plurality of first reference signals for beam failure detection; and

a processor that detects a beam failure of one TRP among the plurality of TRPs based on one of the first reference signals,

wherein the one TRP is associated with the one of the first reference signals and the one of the first reference signals is transmitted from the one TRP, and

indexes of the first reference signal have respectively same values as indexes indicated by a Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) state.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein:

the receiver receives a second reference signal for detecting a new candidate beam, the second reference signal being associated with only the one TRP; and

the processor measures the new candidate beam of the one TRP associated with the second reference signal.

3. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the processor controls to transmit a beam failure recovery request to the one TRP.

4. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the processor controls to transmit a beam failure recovery request to the one TRP.

5. A radio communication method for a terminal comprising:

receiving, from a plurality of transmission reception points (TRPs), respectively, a plurality of first reference signals for beam failure detection; and

detecting a beam failure of one TRP among the plurality of TRPs based on one of the first reference signals,

wherein the one TRP is associated with the one of the first reference signals and the one of the first reference signals is transmitted from the one TRP, and

indexes of the first reference signal have respectively same values as indexes indicated by a Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) state.

6. A system comprising a plurality of transmission reception points (TRPs) and a terminal, wherein

the plurality of TRPs comprises:

a transmitter that transmits a plurality of first reference signals for beam failure detection, and

the terminal comprises:

a receiver that receives, from the plurality of TRPs, respectively, the plurality of first reference signals; and

a processor that detects a beam failure of one TRP among the plurality of TRPs based on one of the first reference signals,

wherein the one TRP is associated with the one of the first reference signals and the one of the first reference signals is transmitted from the one TRP, and

wherein indexes of the first reference signal have respectively same values as indexes indicated by a Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) state.
