Abstract

A terminal for performing Channel State Information (CSI) reporting for type II port selection codebook includes a receiver that receives beamformed CSI reference signal (RS) ports comprising spatial domain (SD) beams and frequency domain (FD) base. In addition, the terminal includes a processor that, using higher layer signaling, configures a number of SD beam selection and a number of FD base selection, and selects a first value from a first set of values for the number of SD beam selection and a second value from a second set of values for the number of FD base section. The terminal further includes a transmitter that transmits the first value and the second values.

Claims (23)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives a first higher layer parameter relating to a parameter for a spatial domain (SD) associated with a precoder for a type II port selection codebook and a second higher layer parameter relating to a parameter for a frequency domain (FD) associated with the precoder;

a processor that determines, based on the first higher layer parameter and the second higher layer parameter, the parameter for the SD and the parameter for the FD to be included in a PMI; and

a transmitter that reports the PMI,

wherein both the parameter for the SD and the parameter for the FD are common to all layers from 1 to 4 indicated by a rank indicator (RI).

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

receiving a first higher layer parameter relating to a parameter for a spatial domain (SD) associated with a precoder for a type II port selection codebook and a second higher layer parameter relating to a parameter for a frequency domain (FD) associated with the precoder;

determining, based on the first higher layer parameter and the second higher layer parameter, the parameter for the SD and the parameter for the FD to be included in a PMI; and

reporting the PMI,

wherein both the parameter for the SD and the parameter for the FD are common to all layers from 1 to 4 indicated by a rank indicator (RI).

3. A base station comprising:

a transmitter that transmits, to a terminal, a first higher layer parameter relating to a parameter for a spatial domain (SD) associated with a precoder for a type II port selection codebook and a second higher layer parameter relating to a parameter for a frequency domain (FD) associated with the precoder; and

a processor that controls a reception of a PMI including the parameter for the SD and the parameter for the FD determined by the terminal based on the first higher layer parameter and the second higher layer parameter,

wherein both the parameter for the SD and the parameter for the FD are common to all layers from 1 to 4 indicated by a rank indicator (RI).

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

the terminal comprises:

a receiver that receives a first higher layer parameter relating to a parameter for a spatial domain (SD) associated with a precoder for a type II port selection codebook and a second higher layer parameter relating to a parameter for a frequency domain (FD) associated with the precoder;

a processor that determines, based on the first higher layer parameter and the second higher layer parameter, the parameter for the SD and the parameter for the FD to be included in a PMI; and

a transmitter that reports the PMI,

wherein both the parameter for the SD and the parameter for the FD are common to all layers from 1 to 4 indicated by a rank indicator (RI), and

the base station comprises:

a transmitter that transmits, to the terminal, the first higher layer parameter and the second higher parameter; and

a processor that controls a reception of the PMI.
