Abstract

A terminal receives a synchronization signal block (SSB) in a different frequency band different from a frequency band including one or a plurality of frequency ranges. The synchronization signal block (SSB) receives at least one of a plurality of synchronization signal blocks (SSB) having different indexes and transmitted from a network by using the same time position or the same frequency position.

Claims (7)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiving unit that receives a plurality of synchronization signal block sets each of which includes a plurality of synchronization signal blocks in a frequency band from 52.6 GHz to 114.25 GHz; and

a control unit that performs access to a network by using the synchronization signal block, wherein

the plurality of synchronization signal blocks are transmitted simultaneously from the network by using a same time position or a same frequency position and have different quasi-colocation assumptions, and

synchronization signal block indices, identifying each synchronization signal block, have different values such that an index value associated with one synchronization signal block is different than an index value associated with any other synchronization signal block within all of the plurality of synchronization signal block sets.

2. The terminal as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the control unit derives a frame timing from at least one of the received plurality of synchronization signal block sets.
