User terminal and radio communication method
The present invention is designed to improve the throughput of radio communication by using partial frequency bands for DL/UL communication. A user terminal has a receiving section that receives downlink control information by using a first partial frequency band (BWP) among a plurality of BWPs configured in a carrier, and a control section that identifies, via a resource allocation field (RA field) having a size that is configured based on a given BWP among the plurality of BWPs, a resource of a second BWP, which is different from the first BWP, in the downlink control information.
1. A terminal comprising:
a receiver that receives a downlink control information (DCI) of a given DCI format in a first partial frequency band (BWP) out of a plurality of BWPs configured in a cell; and
a processor that, when a second BWP different from the first BWP is indicated by a BWP indication field of the DCI of the given DCI format, controls activation of the second BWP, based on the BWP indication field,
wherein the processor determines bits to be employed in a frequency-domain RA field included in the DCI taking into account a first size of a first frequency-domain resource allocation (RA) field corresponding to the first BWP and a second size of a second frequency-domain RA field corresponding to the second BWP, and
wherein, when the first size is smaller than the second size, the processor sets given bits in a frequency-domain RA field, included in the DCI, to zero.
2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein, when the first size is larger than the second size, the processor uses given lower bits (LSB) in a frequency-domain RA field included in the DCI.
3. A radio communication method for a terminal, comprising:
receiving a downlink control information (DCI) of a given DCI format in a first partial frequency band (BWP) out of a plurality of BWPs configured in a cell; when a second BWP different from the first BWP is indicated by a BWP indication field of the DCI of the given DCI format, controlling activation of the second BWP, based on the BWP indication field;
determining bits to be employed in a frequency-domain RA field included in the DCI taking into account a first size of a first frequency-domain resource allocation (RA) field corresponding to the first BWP and a second size of a second frequency-domain RA field corresponding to the second BWP; and
setting given bits in a frequency-domain RA field, included in the DCI, to zero, when the first size is smaller than the second size.
4. A base station comprising:
a transmitter that transmits a downlink control information (DCI) of a given DCI format in a first partial frequency band (BWP) out of a plurality of BWPs configured in a cell; and
a processor that, when a BWP indication field of the DCI of the given DCI format indicates a second BWP different from the first BWP, controls activation of the second BWP, based on the BWP indication field,
wherein, when a first size of a first frequency-domain resource allocation (RA) field corresponding to the first BWP is smaller than a second size of a second frequency-domain RA field corresponding to the second BWP, given bits in a frequency-domain RA field, included in the DCI, is zero.
5. A system comprising a terminal and a base station, wherein:
the terminal comprises:
a receiver that receives a downlink control information (DCI) of a given DCI format in a first partial frequency band (BWP) out of a plurality of BWPs configured in a cell; and
a first processor that, when a second BWP different from the first BWP is indicated by a BWP indication field of the DCI of the given DCI format, controls activation of the second BWP, based on the BWP indication field,
wherein the first processor determines bits to be employed in a frequency-domain RA field included in the DCI taking into account a first size of a first frequency-domain resource allocation (RA) field corresponding to the first BWP and a second size of a second frequency-domain RA field corresponding to the second BWP, and
wherein, when the first size is smaller than the second size, the first processor sets given bits in a frequency-domain RA field, included in the DCI, to zero; and
the base station comprises:
a transmitter that transmits the DCI; and
a second processor that controls activation of the second BWP.
