Communication system, user apparatus and base station
Provided is a technology capable of securing satisfactory communication quality. A communication system includes a user equipment, and a base station configured to be connected to the user equipment to perform radio communication with the user equipment. The user equipment performs radio communication with a beam. When the user equipment detects a beam disappearance state being a state incapable of maintaining communication quality with the base station, the user equipment transmits a notification of the beam disappearance state with a beam having a wider half width than a half width before detection of the beam disappearance state.
1. A communication system comprising:
a user apparatus; and
at least one base station configured to wirelessly communicate with the user apparatus using a beam, wherein
the user apparatus is configured to determine a communication quality of a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) transmitted from the base station,
the user apparatus is configured to receive, from the at least one base station, information relating to power of a beam disappearance notification, and determine transmission power of the beam disappearance notification, using the information, and
the user apparatus is configured to transmit, to the base station, the beam disappearance notification with the transmission power, based on a determination result of the communication quality.
2. The communication system according to claim 1 , wherein the user apparatus is configured to determine the communication quality based on a comparison of a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) indicating the communication quality and a threshold.
3. The communication system according to claim 2 , wherein the user apparatus is configured to determine the communication quality based on whether or not the SNR is below the threshold.
4. The communication system according to claim 1 , wherein
the at least one base station includes a master base station and a secondary base station, and
the user apparatus is configured to transmit, to the master base station, the beam disappearance notification related to the secondary base station communicating with the user apparatus.
5. The communication system according to claim 4 , wherein the master base station is configured to transmit, to the secondary base station, an indication corresponding to the beam disappearance notification received from the user apparatus.
6. The communication system according to claim 1 , wherein the user apparatus is configured to transmit the beam disappearance notification using a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) or a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH).
7. The communication system according to claim 1 , wherein the user apparatus is configured to transmit the beam disappearance notification using a random access (RA).
8. The communication system according to claim 1 , wherein the user apparatus is configured to initiate beam redetection after transmitting the beam disappearance notification.
9. A user apparatus in a communication system comprising a user apparatus and at least one base station configured to wirelessly communicate with the user apparatus using a beam, wherein
the user apparatus is configured to determine a communication quality of a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) transmitted from the base station,
the user apparatus is configured to receive, from the at least one base station, information relating to power of a beam disappearance notification, and determine transmission power of the beam disappearance notification, using the information, and
the user apparatus is configured to transmit, to the base station, the beam disappearance notification with the transmission power, based on a determination result of the communication quality.
10. A base station in a communication system comprising a user apparatus and at least one base station configured to wirelessly communicate with the user apparatus using a beam, wherein
the base station is configured to transmit a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) that is used for determining a communication quality at the user apparatus,
the base station is configured to transmit, to the user apparatus, information relating to power of a beam disappearance notification, and
the base station is configured to receive the beam disappearance notification that is transmitted from the user apparatus with transmission power determined based on the information.
