Terminal, radio communication method, and base station
A terminal is disclosed including a processor that starts a timer based on a beam failure instance counter; a receiver that receives a reference signal for identifying a candidate beam; and a transmitter that, if the reference signal has layer 1 reference signal received power (L1-RSRP) exceeding a threshold value before the timer expires, and if there is at least one of contention-free random access (CFRA) resources corresponding to the reference signal, transmits a random access preamble using the at least one of CFRA resources. In other aspects, a radio communication method and a base station are also disclosed.
1. A terminal comprising:
a processor that starts a timer based on a beam failure instance counter;
a receiver that receives a reference signal for identifying a candidate beam; and
a transmitter that:
if the reference signal has layer 1 reference signal received power (L1-RSRP) exceeding a threshold value before the timer expires, and if there is at least one of contention-free random access (CFRA) resources corresponding to the reference signal, transmits a random access preamble using the at least one of CFRA resources; and
if the timer expires, transmits the random access preamble using a contention-based random access (CBRA) resource.
2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein, if the reference signal does not have L1-RSRP exceeding the threshold value, or if there is no CFRA resource corresponding to the reference signal, the transmitter uses the CBRA resource to transmit the random access preamble.
3. A radio communication method for a terminal, the radio communication method comprising:
starting a timer based on a beam failure instance counter;
receiving a reference signal for identifying a candidate beam;
in response to the reference signal having layer 1 reference signal received power (L1-RSRP) exceeding a threshold value before the timer expires, and in response to at least one of contention-free random access (CFRA) resources corresponding to the reference signal being available, transmitting a random access preamble using the at least one of CFRA resources; and
in response to the timer expiring, transmitting the random access preamble using a contention-based random access (CBRA) resource.
4. A base station in communication with a terminal, the base station comprising:
a transmitter that transmits a reference signal for identifying a candidate beam to the terminal; and
a receiver that receives:
if the reference signal has layer 1 reference signal received power (L1-RSRP) exceeding a threshold value before a timer which is started by the terminal based on a beam failure instance counter expires, and if there is at least one of contention-free random access (CFRA) resources corresponding to the reference signal, a random access preamble transmitted using the at least one of CFRA resources; and
if the timer expires, the random access preamble transmitted using a contention-based random access (CBRA) resource.
5. A system comprising:
a terminal that comprises:
a processor that starts a timer based on a beam failure instance counter;
a receiver that receives a reference signal for identifying a candidate beam; and
a transmitter that:
if the reference signal has layer 1 reference signal received power (L1-RSRP) exceeding a threshold value before the timer expires, and if there is at least one of contention-free random access (CFRA) resources corresponding to the reference signal, transmits a random access preamble using the at least one of CFRA resources; and
if the timer expires, transmits the random access preamble using a contention-based random access (CBRA) resource; and
a base station that comprises:
a transmitter that transmits the reference signal for identifying the candidate beam; and
a receiver that receives the random access preamble.
