Abstract

A terminal according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes a control section that determines activation or deactivation for a panel, and a transmitting section that transmits a report related to determined activation or deactivation for the panel by including the report in at least one of channel state information and MAC control information (MAC CE).

Claims (22)

1. A terminal comprising:

a processor that determines activation or deactivation for a Reference Signal (RS) group; and

a transmitter that transmits a first report related to a determination, by the processor, of activation or deactivation for the RS group by including the first report in Medium Access Control control information (MAC CE),

wherein the processor performs a second report related to activation or deactivation for a plurality of RS groups in a single report, and

wherein the processor controls transmission of the second report, based on an expiry of a timer or received power of a RS.

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

determining activation or deactivation for a Reference Signal (RS) group, and

transmitting a first report related to determined activation or deactivation for the RS group by including the first report in Medium Access Control control information (MAC CE),

wherein a second report related to activation or deactivation for a plurality of RS groups performs in a single report, and

wherein transmission of the second report is controlled based on an expiry of a timer or received power of a RS.

3. A base station comprising:

a transmitter that transmits information for indicating activation or deactivation for a Reference Signal (RS) group; and

a receiver that receives a first report related to determined activation or deactivation for the RS group by including the first report in Medium Access Control control information (MAC CE),

wherein a second report related to activation or deactivation for a plurality of RS groups is performed in a single report in the MAC CE, and

wherein the second report is transmitted based on an expiry of a timer or received power of a RS.

4. A system comprising a terminal and a base station, wherein the terminal comprises:

a processor that determines activation or deactivation for a Reference Signal (RS) group; and

a transmitter that transmits a first report related to a determination, by the processor, of activation or deactivation for the RS group by including the first report in Medium Access Control control information (MAC CE),

wherein the processor performs a second report related to activation or deactivation for a plurality of RS groups in a single report, and

wherein the processor controls transmission of the second report, based on an expiry of a timer or received power of a RS; and

the base station comprises:

a receiver that receives the MAC CE.
