Abstract

A terminal is disclosed including a transmitter that transmits a beam recovery request signal and a processor that controls the transmission of the beam recovery request signal. The transmission of the beam recovery request signal is controlled by the processor based on a received power that is measured using a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource or a synchronization signal (SS) block that is quasi co-located (QCL) with a demodulation reference signal of a downlink control channel. In other aspects, a radio communication method is also disclosed.

Claims (14)

1. A terminal comprising:

a processor that, when a first L1-RSRP, which is measured using a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource associated with an active beam, is less than a given threshold value and the CSI-RS resource is quasi co-located (QCL) with a demodulation reference signal of a downlink control channel, determines whether to transmit a beam recovery request signal based on a second L1-RSRP, which is measured using a synchronous signal block associated with an inactive beam; and

a receiver that receives, in a search space for use of a random access response (RAR) for beam recovery, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for a response signal to the beam recovery request signal, the PDCCH using a cell-radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI).

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the beam recovery request signal is a Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) preamble.

3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the receiver receives the given threshold value using higher layer signaling.

4. A radio communication method comprising:

when a first L1-RSRP, which is measured using a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource associated with an active beam, is less than a given threshold value and the CSI-RS resource is quasi co-located (QCL) with a demodulation reference signal of a downlink control channel, of determining whether to transmit a beam recovery request signal based on a second L1-RSRP, which is measured using a synchronous signal block associated with an inactive beam; and

receiving, in a search space for use of a random access response (RAR) for beam recovery, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for a response signal to the beam recovery request signal, the PDCCH using a cell-radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI).

5. A system comprising a terminal and a base station, wherein:

the terminal comprises:

a processor that, when a first L1-RSRP, which is measured using a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource associated with an active beam, is less than a given threshold value and the CSI-RS resource is quasi co-located (QCL) with a demodulation reference signal of a downlink control channel, determines whether to transmit a beam recovery request signal based on a second L1-RSRP, which is measured using a synchronous signal block associated with an inactive beam; and

a receiver that receives, in a search space for use of a random access response (RAR) for beam recovery, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for a response signal to the beam recovery request signal, the PDCCH using a cell-radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI); and

the base station comprises:

a receiver that receives the beam recovery request signal.
