Abstract

One aspect of a user terminal according to the present invention includes: a receiving section that receives a downlink shared channel transmitted from a plurality of transmission/reception points; and a control section that controls transmission of a transmission confirmation signal corresponding to the downlink shared channel, based on downlink control information including at least one of a count value and a total value of DL assignment jointly controlled in the plurality of transmission/reception points.

Claims (23)

1. A terminal comprising:

a transmitter that transmits capability information indicating whether the terminal supports a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) using downlink control information (DCI) transmitted from each of a plurality of transmit/receive points (TRPs);

a receiver that receives the DCI transmitted from each of the plurality of TRPs in a same serving cell and receives the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI; and

a processor that controls, based on a counter downlink assignment indicator (DAI) and a total DAI, the counter DAI and the total DAI being jointly counted between the plurality of TRPs and included in the DCI, generation of a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) codebook corresponding to the PDSCH,

wherein the counter DAI is counted first in an ascending order of an index indicating the plurality of TRPs, then in an ascending order of a serving cell index, and then in an ascending order of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasion index, and

the total DAI is a total number of pairs of a TRP, a serving cell, and a PDCCH monitoring occasion.

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

transmitting capability information indicating whether the terminal supports a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) using downlink control information (DCI) transmitted from each of a plurality of transmit/receive points (TRPs);

receiving the DCI transmitted from each of the plurality of TRPs in a same serving cell;

receiving the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI; and

controlling, based on a counter downlink assignment indicator (DAI) and a total DAI, the counter DAI and the total DAI being jointly counted between the plurality of TRPs and included in the DCI, generation of a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) codebook corresponding to the PDSCH,

wherein the counter DAI is counted first in an ascending order of an index indicating the plurality of TRPs, then in an ascending order of a serving cell index, and then in an ascending order of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasion index, and

the total DAI is a total number of pairs of a TRP, a serving cell, and a PDCCH monitoring occasion.

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

the terminal comprises:

a transmitter that transmits capability information indicating whether the terminal supports a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) using downlink control information (DCI) transmitted from each of a plurality of transmit/receive points (TRPs);

a receiver that receives the DCI transmitted from each of the plurality of TRPs in a same serving cell and receives the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI; and

a processor of the terminal that controls, based on a counter downlink assignment indicator (DAI) and a total DAI, the counter DAI and the total DAI being jointly counted between the plurality of TRPs and included in the DCI, generation of a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) codebook corresponding to the PDSCH, and

the base station comprises:

a transmitter that transmits the DCI and the PDSCH from at least one of the plurality of TRPs in the same serving cell; and

a processor of the base station that controls to jointly count the counter DAI and the total DAI, included in the DCI, between the plurality of TRPs,

wherein the counter DAI is counted first in an ascending order of an index indicating the plurality of TRPs, then in an ascending order of a serving cell index, and then in an ascending order of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasion index, and

the total DAI is a total number of pairs of a TRP, a serving cell, and a PDCCH monitoring occasion.
