Abstract

A terminal according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes: a control section that derives a Quasi-Co-Location (QCL) assumption of an Aperiodic Channel State Information-Reference Signal (A-CSI-RS) based on a specific Transmission Configuration Indication state (TCI state) for a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) in a case where both of following conditions (1) and (2) are satisfied, where (1) a scheduling offset between reception of a downlink control channel for conveying downlink control information for scheduling the A-CSI-RS, and reception of the A-CSI-RS is less than a reported value of a duration for beam switch, and (2) there is not another downlink signal that includes an instructed TCI state or there is another downlink signal that does not include the instructed TCI state in a same symbol as a symbol of the A-CSI-RS; and a receiving section that receives the A-CSI-RS based on the QCL assumption.

Claims (23)

1. A terminal comprising:

a processor that derives a Quasi-Co-Location (QCL) assumption of a first Aperiodic Channel State Information-Reference Signal (A-CSI-RS) based on a Transmission Configuration Indication state (TCI state) corresponding to a specific code point among TCI code points including multiple different TCI states in a case where both of following conditions (1) and (2) are satisfied, where:

(1) a scheduling offset between a last symbol of a downlink control channel that conveys downlink control information triggering the first A-CSI-RS, and a first symbol of the first A-CSI-RS is less than a reported value of a duration for beam switch, and

(2) there is not another downlink signal with an indicated TCI state or there is another downlink signal that does not include an indicated TCI state, in a same symbol as a symbol of the first A-CSI-RS; and

a receiver that receives the first A-CSI-RS based on the QCL assumption,

wherein the specific code point is a lowest TCI code point.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein, when multiple downlink control information related to a plurality of Control Resource Set (CORESET) pool indices is configured, and when there is not another downlink signal with the indicated TCI state or there is another downlink signal that does not include the indicated TCI state, in a same symbol as a symbol of a second A-CSI-RS, the processor applies a QCL parameter of a CORESET with a lowest CORESET ID, among CORESETs corresponding respectively to the plurality of CORESET pool indices, to the second A-CSI-RS corresponding to each of the plurality of CORESET pool indices.

3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein single downlink control information related to multi transmission/reception points is configured.

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

deriving a Quasi-Co-Location (QCL) assumption of a first Aperiodic Channel State Information-Reference Signal (A-CSI-RS) based on a Transmission Configuration Indication state (TO state) corresponding to a specific code point among TCI code points including multiple different TCI states in a case where both of following conditions (1) and (2) are satisfied, where:

(1) a scheduling offset between a last symbol of a downlink control channel that conveys downlink control information triggering the first A-CSI-RS, and a first symbol of the first A-CSI-RS is less than a reported value of a duration for beam switch, and

(2) there is not another downlink signal with an indicated TCI state or there is another downlink signal that does not include an indicated TCI state, in a same symbol as a symbol of the first A-CSI-RS; and

receiving the first A-CSI-RS based on the QCL assumption,

wherein the specific code point is a lowest TCI code point.

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

the terminal comprises:

a processor that derives a Quasi-Co-Location (QCL) assumption of a first Aperiodic Channel State Information-Reference Signal (A-CSI-RS) based on a Transmission Configuration Indication state (TCI state) corresponding to a specific code point among TCI code points including multiple different TCI states in a case where both of following conditions (1) and (2) are satisfied, where:

(1) a scheduling offset between a last symbol of a downlink control channel that conveys downlink control information triggering the first A-CSI-RS, and a first symbol of the first A-CSI-RS is less than a reported value of a duration for beam switch, and

(2) there is not another downlink signal with an indicated TCI state or there is another downlink signal that does not include an indicated TCI state, in a same symbol as a symbol of the first A-CSI-RS; and

a receiver that receives the first A-CSI-RS based on the QCL assumption,

wherein the specific code point is a lowest TCI code point, and

the base station comprising:

a transmitter that transmits the first A-CSI-RS.
