Abstract

A user terminal includes a reception section that receives a synchronization signal block including a synchronization signal and a broadcast channel at a frequency to which channel sensing before transmission is applied and a control section that determines at least one of a configuration of a first signal including the synchronization signal block and a downlink control channel and a downlink shared channel which are quasi co-located (QCL) with the synchronization signal block and a configuration of a second signal including the first signal in a specific period based on the synchronization signal block. According to one aspect of the present disclosure, appropriate communication can be performed in an unlicensed band.

Claims (34)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiving section that receives a synchronization signal block among one or more synchronization signal blocks included in a burst for discovery in a spectrum in which a channel access procedure is performed; and

a control section that obtains a master information block in the synchronization signal block,

wherein the burst includes the one or more synchronization signal blocks, one or more physical downlink shared channel (PDSCHs), and one or more control resource sets (CORESETs) for scheduling the one or more PDSCHs,

each synchronization signal block includes a synchronization signal and a physical broadcast channel,

each PDSCH includes a system information block,

wherein the control section determines an index related to quasi co-location relation relationship of the synchronization signal block based on the master information block and a demodulation reference signal in the synchronization signal block, and

wherein the receiving section receives a bitmap indicating a time domain position of the one or more synchronization signal blocks, and a bit after the number of the one or more synchronization signal blocks is zero.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving section receives a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) quasi co-located with the specifie synchronization signal block.

3. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein when the number of the one or more synchronization signal blocks is 1, the number of PDCCHs in a slot is 1.

4. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein when the number of the one or more synchronization signal blocks is 1, the number of PDCCHs in a slot is 1.

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

receiving a synchronization signal block among one or more synchronization signal blocks included in a burst for discovery in a spectrum in which a channel access procedure is performed; and

obtaining a master information block in the synchronization signal block,

wherein the burst includes the one or more synchronization signal blocks, one or more physical downlink shared channel (PDSCHs), and one or more control resource sets (CORESETs) for scheduling the one or more PDSCHs,

each synchronization signal block includes a synchronization signal and a physical broadcast channel,

each PDSCH includes a system information block,

wherein the terminal determines an index related to quasi co-location relation relationship of the synchronization signal block based on the master information block and a demodulation reference signal in the synchronization signal block, and

wherein the terminal receives a bitmap indicating a time domain position of the one or more synchronization signal blocks, and a bit after the number of the one or more synchronization signal blocks is zero.

6. A base station comprising:

a transmitting section that transmits a burst for discovery, the burst including the one or more synchronization signal blocks, one or more physical downlink shared channel (PDSCHs), and one or more control resource sets (CORESETs) for scheduling the one or more PDSCHs; and

a control section that includes a synchronization signal and a physical broadcast channel in each synchronization signal block, and includes a system information block in each PDSCH,

wherein an index related to quasi co-location relation relationship of the synchronization signal block in the one or more synchronization signal blocks is based on the master information block in the synchronization signal block and a demodulation reference signal in the synchronization signal block, and

wherein the transmitting section transmits a bitmap indicating a time domain position of the one or more synchronization signal blocks, and a bit after the number of the one or more synchronization signal blocks is zero.

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

the terminal comprises:

a receiving section that receives a synchronization signal block among one or more synchronization signal blocks included in a burst for discovery in a spectrum in which a channel access procedure is performed; and

a control section that obtains a master information block in the synchronization signal block,

the base station transmits the burst,

the burst includes the one or more synchronization signal blocks, one or more physical downlink shared channel (PDSCHs), and one or more control resource sets (CORESETs) for scheduling the one or more PDSCHs,

each synchronization signal block includes a synchronization signal and a physical broadcast channel, and

each PDSCH includes a system information block,

wherein the control section determines an index related to quasi co-location relation relationship of the synchronization signal block based on the master information block and a demodulation reference signal in the synchronization signal block, and

wherein the receiving section receives a bitmap indicating a time domain position of the one or more synchronization signal blocks, and a bit after the number of the one or more synchronization signal blocks is zero.
