Abstract

A user terminal according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: a receiving section that receives a downlink shared channel (Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH)), based on one piece of downlink control information; and a control section that determines a number of default Quasi-Co-Locations (QCLs) to be applied to the PDSCH, based on the downlink control information. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, DL communication can be preferably carried out even in a case where multiple panels/TRPs are used.

Claims (15)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives one piece of down link control information (DCI) used for scheduling of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH); and

a processor that determines, based on a search space set or a control resource set (CORESET), a number of quasi co-location (QCL) assumption applied to the PDSCH, when a time offset between a reception of the DCI and a reception of the PDSCH is less than a threshold,

wherein if a transmission configuration indication (TCI) field included in the DCI indicates two TCI states, the processor determines to use a first demodulation reference signal (DMRS) table that includes an entry not included in a second DMRS table for the case where the TCI field indicates one TCI state.

2. A radio communication method for a terminal comprising:

receiving one piece of down link control information (DCI) used for scheduling of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH); and

determining, based on a search space set or a control resource set (CORESET), a number of quasi co-location (QCL) assumption applied to the PDSCH, when a time offset between a reception of the DCI and a reception of the PDSCH is less than a threshold,

wherein if a transmission configuration indication (TCI) field included in the DCI indicates two TCI states, a first demodulation reference signal (DMRS) table is used, the first DMRS table including an entry not included in a second DMRS table for the case where the TCI field indicates one TCI state.

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

the terminal comprises:

a receiver that receives one piece of down link control information (DCI) used for scheduling of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH); and

a processor that determines, based on a search space set or a control resource set (CORESET), a number of quasi co-location (QCL) assumption applied to the PDSCH, when a time offset between a reception of the DCI and a reception of the PDSCH is less than a threshold,

wherein if a transmission configuration indication (TCI) field included in the DCI indicates two TCI states, the processor determines to use a first demodulation reference signal (DMRS) table that includes an entry not included in a second DMRS table for the case where the TCI field indicates one TCI state, and

the base station comprises:

a transmitter that transmits the DCI.
