Abstract

A user terminal according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a receiving section that receives a reference signal (RS) for beam failure detection (BFD), and a control section that determines, in a case that no set of RS indices corresponding to a resource for the BFD is configured by higher layer signaling, RS indices up to a certain number to be included in the set, based on a TCI (Transmission Configuration Indication) state configured for a CORESET (COntrol REsource SET). The control section includes, for a CORESET for which no TCI state is configured, an RS index of a same value as an RS index corresponding to a QCL (Quasi-Co-Location) assumption for the CORESET, in the set. According to one aspect of the present disclosure, it is possible to appropriately identify a reference signal for BFR.

Claims (18)

1. A terminal comprising:

a processor that determines, in a case that a resource for beam failure detection (BFD) is not configured by higher layer signaling, indices of a reference signal (RS) up to a certain number based on a Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) state for a Control REsource SET (CORESET); and

a receiver that receives the RS,

wherein the processor determines, when a Quasi-Co-Location (QCL) assumption for a CORESET associated with a search space for system information is changed to another QCL assumption, a QCL assumption for another CORESET based on the other QCL assumption, and

wherein the processor determines the QCL assumption for the CORESET associated with the search space for the system information, when no TCI state is configured for the COREST, based on a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) corresponding to a latest random access channel.

2. A radio communication method for a terminal, the radio communication method comprising:

determining, in a case that a resource for beam failure detection (BFD) is not configured by higher layer signaling, indices of a reference signal (RS) up to a certain number based on a Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) state for a COntrol REsource SET (CORESET); and

receiving the RS;

determining, when a Quasi-Co-Location (QCL) assumption for a CORESET associated with a search space for system information is changed to another QCL assumption, a QCL assumption for another CORESET based on the other QCL assumption; and

determining the QCL assumption for the CORESET associated with the search space for the system information, when no TCI state is configured for the COREST, based on a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) corresponding to a latest random access channel.

3. A system comprising:

a terminal that comprises:

a processor that determines, in a case that a resource for beam failure detection (BFD) is not configured by higher layer signaling, indices of a reference signal (RS) up to a certain number based on a Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) state for a COntrol REsource SET (CORESET); and

a receiver that receives the RS,

wherein the processor determines, when a Quasi-Co-Location (QCL) assumption for a CORESET associated with a search space for system information is changed to another QCL assumption, a QCL assumption for another CORESET based on the other QCL assumption, and

wherein the processor determines the QCL assumption for the CORESET associated with the search space for the system information, when no TCI state is configured for the COREST, based on a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) corresponding to a latest random access channel; and

a base station that comprises:

a transmitter that transmits the RS.
