Abstract

A terminal is disclosed including a receiver that receives a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block including a synchronization signal (SS) and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH); and a processor that determines a control resource set based on configuration information in a configuration information set of a plurality of configuration information sets, the configuration information set being associated with information based on the SS/PBCH block, the configuration information being associated with a value of a field in the PBCH, and the configuration information including a plurality of parameters regarding the control resource set. In other aspects, a radio communication method and a base station are also disclosed.

Claims (28)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block including a synchronization signal (SS) and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) which includes a subcarrier spacing information indicating a subcarrier spacing for a system information and for messages for an initial access, and includes a field for determination of a configuration of a control resource set; and

a processor that determines a configuration set from among a plurality of configuration sets, based on the subcarrier spacing information, and

determines the configuration of the control resource set from among configurations in the determined configuration set, based on a value of the field in the PBCH, and

the configuration including a plurality of parameters regarding the control resource set,

wherein the processor determines that a specified SS/PBCH block is not transmitted based on the configuration,

the plurality of parameters include a multiplexing scheme of the SS/PBCH block and the control resource set, a bandwidth of the control resource set, a duration of the control resource set, and a frequency offset of the control resource set relative to the SS/PBCH block, and

the multiplexing scheme is one of multiplexing schemes which includes a time division multiplexing scheme and a frequency division multiplexing scheme.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the processor monitors, in the control resource set, a downlink control channel for scheduling the system information.

3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of configuration sets include a first configuration set for a first band including a frequency equal to or lower than 6 GHz and include a second configuration set for a second band higher than the first band.

4. A radio communication method comprising:

receiving a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block including a synchronization signal (SS) and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) which includes a subcarrier spacing information indicating a subcarrier spacing for a system information and for messages for an initial access, and includes a field for determination of a configuration of a control resource set;

determining a configuration set from among a plurality of configuration sets, based on the subcarrier spacing information, and

determining the configuration of the control resource set from among configurations in the determined configuration set, based on the configuration being associated with a value of the field in the PBCH, and

the configuration including a plurality of parameters regarding the control resource set; and

determining that a specified SS/PBCH block is not transmitted based on the configuration,

the plurality of parameters include a multiplexing scheme of the SS/PBCH block and the control resource set, a bandwidth of the control resource set, a duration of the control resource set, and a frequency offset of the control resource set relative to the SS/PBCH block, and

the multiplexing scheme is one of multiplexing schemes which includes a time division multiplexing scheme and a frequency division multiplexing scheme.

5. A system comprising:

a terminal that comprises:

a receiver that receives a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block including a synchronization signal (SS) and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) which includes a subcarrier spacing information indicating a subcarrier spacing for a system information and for messages for an initial access, and includes a field for determination of a configuration of a control resource set; and

a processor that determines a configuration set from among a plurality of configuration sets, based on the subcarrier spacing information, and

determines the configuration of the control resource set from among configurations in the determined configuration set, based on a value of the field in the PBCH, and

the configuration including a plurality of parameters regarding the control resource set,

wherein the processor determines that a specified SS/PBCH block is not transmitted based on the configuration; and

a base station that transmits the SS/PBCH block,

wherein the plurality of parameters include a multiplexing scheme of the SS/PBCH block and the control resource set, a bandwidth of the control resource set, a duration of the control resource set, and a frequency offset of the control resource set relative to the SS/PBCH block, and

the multiplexing scheme is one of multiplexing schemes which includes a time division multiplexing scheme and a frequency division multiplexing scheme.
