Abstract

A terminal is disclosed including a receiving section that receives information indicating a first number of preamble transmission, the information being a condition for switching from a 2-step random access procedure to a 4-step random access procedure, and information indicating a second number which is a maximum number of preamble transmission; and a control section that when a number of preamble transmission is the first number, controls to switch from a 2-step random access procedure to a 4-step random access procedure, and when the number of preamble transmission is the second number, determines a failure of the 4-step random access procedure. In other aspects a radio communication method and a system are also disclosed.

Claims (17)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives information indicating a first number of preamble transmissions, the information being a condition for switching from a 2-step random access procedure to a 4-step random access procedure, and information indicating a second number which is a maximum number of preamble transmissions; and

a processor that when a number of preamble transmissions is the first number, controls to switch from a 2-step random access procedure to a 4-step random access procedure, and when the number of preamble transmissions is the second number, determines a failure of the 4-step random access procedure that has been switched from the 2-step random access procedure,

wherein the processor controls, based on the information indicating the second number, whether or not to report, to a higher layer, the failure of the 4-step random access procedure that has been switched from the 2-step random access procedure.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the first number is less than the second number.

3. A radio communication method for a terminal, comprising:

receiving information indicating a first number of preamble transmissions, the information being a condition for switching from a 2-step random access procedure to a 4-step random access procedure, and information indicating a second number which is a maximum number of preamble transmissions; and

when a number of preamble transmissions is the first number, controlling to switch from a 2-step random access procedure to a 4-step random access procedure, and

when the number of preamble transmissions is the second number, determining a failure of the 4-step random access procedure that has been switched from the 2-step random access procedure,

wherein the terminal controls, based on the information indicating the second number, whether or not to report, to a higher layer, the failure of the 4-step random access procedure that has been switched from the 2-step random access procedure.

4. A system comprising a terminal and a base station, wherein

the terminal comprises:

a receiver that receives information indicating a first number of preamble transmissions, the information being a condition for switching from a 2-step random access procedure to a 4-step random access procedure, and information indicating a second number which is a maximum number of preamble transmissions; and

a processor that when a number of preamble transmissions is the first number, controls to switch from a 2-step random access procedure to a 4-step random access procedure, and when the number of preamble transmissions is the second number, determines a failure of the 4-step random access procedure that has been switched from the 2-step random access procedure,

wherein the processor controls, based on the information indicating the second number, whether or not to report, to a higher layer, the failure of the 4-step random access procedure that has been switched from the 2-step random access procedure, and

the base station comprises:

a transmitter that transmits the information indicating the first number and the information indicating the second number.
