Abstract

A base station apparatus including: a transmission unit configured to transmit configuration information indicating whether to place both of a first activation signal and a second activation signal on a resource for placing an activation signal that is a trigger for monitoring a paging occasion, wherein the configuration information implicitly indicates configuration other than configuration indicating whether to place both of the first activation signal and the second activation signal on the resource.

Claims (20)

1. A base station comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit configuration information on a wake up signal that is a trigger for monitoring a paging occasion; and

a processor configured to determine the number of groups of terminals receiving the wake up signal and a method for multiplexing between resources for placing the wake up signal, that are implicitly indicated based on the configuration information,

wherein the configuration information includes information indicating whether to place both a Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 15 wake up signal and a 3GPP Release 16 wake up signal on a resource for placing the wake up signal.

2. A terminal comprising:

a receiver configured to receive configuration information that includes information indicating whether to place both a first wake up signal and a second wake up signal on a resource for placing a wake up signal that is a trigger for monitoring a paging occasion; and

a processor configured to determine a method, that is implicitly indicated based on the configuration information, for multiplexing between resources for placing the wake up signal,

wherein the configuration information includes information indicating whether to place both a Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 15 wake up signal and a 3GPP Release 16 wake up signal on a resource for placing the wake up signal.

3. A communication system comprising:

a base station comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit, to a terminal, configuration information that includes information indicating whether to place both a first wake up signal and a second wake up signal on a resource for placing a wake up signal that is a trigger for monitoring a paging occasion; and

a processor of the base station configured to determine a method, that is implicitly indicated based on the configuration information, for multiplexing between resources for placing the wake up signal, and

the terminal comprising:

a receiver configured to receive the configuration information from the base station; and

a processor of the terminal configured to determine a method, that is implicitly indicated based on the configuration information, for multiplexing between resources for placing the wake up signal,

wherein the configuration information includes information indicating whether to place both a Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 15 wake up signal and a 3GPP Release 16 wake up signal on a resource for placing the wake up signal.

4. A communication method executed by a base station, the communication method comprising:

transmitting configuration information that includes information indicating whether to place both a first wake up signal and a second wake up signal on a resource for placing a wake up signal that is a trigger for monitoring a paging occasion; and

determining a method, that is implicitly indicated based on the configuration information, for multiplexing between resources for placing the wake up signal,

wherein the configuration information includes information indicating whether to place both a Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 15 wake up signal and a 3GPP Release 16 wake up signal on a resource for placing the wake up signal.
