Abstract

A terminal is disclosed including a receiver configured to receive a synchronization signal block (SS/PBCH block) including information that indicates a configuration of a control resource set; and a processor configured to determine a position of the control resource set relative to the SS/PBCH block based on the information. In other aspects, another terminal, a radio communication method for a terminal, and a base station are also disclosed.

Claims (50)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SS/PBCH block) including information that indicates a configuration of a control resource set; and

a processor that determines a position of the control resource set relative to the SS/PBCH block based on the information,

wherein the processor applies different association information in a first frequency band and a second frequency band, the association information defining a symbol at a start position of the control resource set using an SS/PBCH block index for at least a part of a plurality of start position candidates of the control resource set indicated by the information.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the processor determines the symbol at a start position of the control resource set with consideration of a SS/PBCH block index.

3. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the processor controls a reception of a downlink control channel based on information about different start position candidates for the control resource set.

4. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein candidates of the configuration of the control resource set are defined differently in accordance with a subcarrier spacing of the SS/PBCH block.

5. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the processor controls a reception of a downlink control channel based on information about different start position candidates for the control resource set.

6. The terminal according to claim 5 , wherein the information includes, as the plurality of start position candidates of the control resource set, a specific symbol and a symbol that is specified based on a control resource set duration and an SS/PBCH block index, wherein each candidate includes the specific symbol or the symbol that is specified based on the control resource set duration and the SS/PBCH block index.

7. The terminal according to claim 6 , wherein the control resource set duration is defined as a number of symbols.

8. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein candidates of the configuration of the control resource set are defined differently in accordance with a subcarrier spacing of the SS/PBCH block.

9. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the association information is a table.

10. A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SS/PBCH block) including information that indicates a configuration of a control resource set; and

a processor that controls reception of a downlink control channel based on a symbol at a start position of the control resource set,

wherein the processor determines the symbol in accordance with the information and the SS/PBCH block by applying different association information in a first frequency band and a second frequency band, the association information defining the symbol at the start position of the control resource set using an SS/PBCH block index for at least a part of a plurality of start position candidates of the control resource set indicated by the information.

11. The terminal according to claim 10 , wherein the processor determines the symbol at the start position of the control resource set with consideration of a SS/PBCH block index.

12. The terminal according to claim 10 , wherein the processor controls a reception of the downlink control channel based on information about different start position candidates for the control resource set.

13. The terminal according to claim 10 , wherein candidates of the configuration of the control resource set are defined differently in accordance with a subcarrier spacing of the SS/PBCH block.

14. The terminal according to claim 10 , wherein the association information is a table.

15. A radio communication method for a terminal comprising:

receiving a synchronization signal block/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH block) including information that indicates a configuration of a control resource set; and

determining a position of the control resource set relative to the SS/PBCH block based on the information by applying different association information in a first frequency band and a second frequency band, the association information defining a symbol at a start position of the control resource set using an SS/PBCH block index for at least a part of a plurality of start position candidates of the control resource set indicated by the information.

16. A base station comprising:

a transmitter that transmits a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SS/PBCH block) including information that indicates a configuration of a control resource set; and

a processor that controls a position of the control resource set relative to the SS/PBCH block determined based on the information by applying different association information in a first frequency band and a second frequency band, the association information defining a symbol at a start position of the control resource set using an SS/PBCH block index for at least a part of a plurality of start position candidates of the control resource set indicated by the information.

17. A radio communication method for a terminal comprising:

receiving a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SS/PBCH block) including information that indicates a configuration of a control resource set; and

controlling reception of a downlink control channel based on a symbol at a start position of the control resource set,

wherein the symbol is determined in accordance with the information and the SS/PBCH block, by applying different association information in a first frequency band and a second frequency band, the association information defining the symbol at the start position of the control resource set using an SS/PBCH block index for at least a part of a plurality of start position candidates of the control resource set indicated by the information.

18. A base station comprising:

a transmitter that transmits a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SS/PBCH block) including information that indicates a configuration of a control resource set; and

a processor that controls transmission of a downlink control channel based on a symbol at a start position of the control resource set,

wherein the symbol is determined in accordance with the information and the SS/PBCH block, by applying different association information in a first frequency band and a second frequency band, the association information defining the symbol at the start position of the control resource set using an SS/PBCH block index for at least a part of a plurality of start position candidates of the control resource set indicated by the information.

19. A system comprising:

a terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SS/PBCH block) including information that indicates a configuration of a control resource set; and

a processor that determines a position of the control resource set relative to the SS/PBCH block based on the information,

wherein the processor applies different association information in a first frequency band and a second frequency band, the association information defining a symbol at a start position of the control resource set using an SS/PBCH block index for at least a part of a plurality of start position candidates of the control resource set indicated by the information, and
