Abstract

A terminal according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes a control section that determines a power control parameter for a sounding reference signal (SRS) based on a medium access control—control element (MAC CE), and a transmitting section that uses a transmission power based on the power control parameters to transmit the SRS. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, the parameter for the transmission power control can be appropriately controlled.

Claims (18)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives a Radio Resource Control (RRC) control element including a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource set ID, a list of SRS resource IDs within the SRS resource set, and a list of reference-signal-for-pathloss-reference IDs, and then receives a medium access control-control element (MAC CE) indicating the SRS resource set ID, and a reference-signal-for-pathloss-reference ID out of the list of reference-signal-for-pathloss-reference IDs; and

a processor that, after receiving the MAC CE, estimates a pathloss, to be applied to a transmission of an SRS using the plurality of SRS resources within the SRS resource set using a reference signal corresponding to the reference-signal-for-pathloss-reference ID.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein after receiving a second MAC CE that indicates the SRS resource set ID, and a second reference-signal-for-pathloss-reference ID out of the list of reference-signal-for-pathloss-reference IDs, the processor estimates a pathloss, to be applied to a transmission of an SRS using the plurality of SRS resources within the SRS resource set, using a reference signal corresponding to the second reference-signal-for-pathloss-reference ID.

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

receiving a Radio Resource Control (RRC) control element including a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource set ID, a list of SRS resource IDs within the SRS resource set, and a list of reference-signal-for-pathloss-reference IDs;

receiving a medium access control-control element (MAC CE) indicating the SRS resource set ID, and a reference-signal-for-pathloss-reference ID out of the list of reference-signal-for-pathloss-reference IDs, and

after receiving the MAC CE, estimating a pathloss, to be applied to a transmission of an SRS using the plurality of SRS resources within the SRS resource set using a reference signal corresponding to the reference-signal-for-pathloss-reference ID.

4. A base station comprising:

a transmitter that transmits a Radio Resource Control (RRC) control element including a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource set ID, a list of SRS resource IDs within the SRS resource set, and a list of reference-signal-for-pathloss-reference IDs, and then transmits a medium access control-control element (MAC CE) indicating the SRS resource set ID, and a reference-signal-for-pathloss-reference ID out of the list of reference-signal-for-pathloss-reference IDs, and

a processor that controls a reception of an SRS using the plurality of SRS resources within the SRS resource set,

wherein after transmitting the MAC CE, the processor estimates a pathloss, to be applied to a transmission of the SRS using the plurality of SRS resources within the SRS resource set, using a reference signal corresponding to the reference-signal-for-pathloss-reference ID.

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

a receiver that receives a Radio Resource Control (RRC) control element including a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource set ID, a list of SRS resource IDs within the SRS resource set, and a list of reference-signal-for-pathloss-reference IDs, and then receives a medium access control-control element (MAC CE) indicating the SRS resource set ID, and a reference-signal-for-pathloss-reference ID out of the list of reference-signal-for-pathloss-reference IDs; and

a processor that, after receiving the MAC CE, estimates a pathloss, to be applied to a transmission of an SRS using the plurality of SRS resources within the SRS resource set using a reference signal corresponding to the reference-signal-for-pathloss-reference ID, and

the base station comprises:

a transmitter that transmits the RRC control element, and then transmits the MAC CE; and

a processor that controls a reception of the SRS.
