Abstract

A terminal according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a receiving section that receives single downlink control information (DCI) for a plurality of uplink shared channels (Physical Uplink Shared Channels (PUSCHs)), and a control section that controls transmission of the plurality of PUSCHs on the basis of an extended precoding information and number of layers field included in the DCI, wherein the control section assumes that the number of antenna ports is independently configured for each of the plurality of PUSCHs. According to one aspect of the present disclosure, it is possible to appropriately control PUSCH repetition transmission even when multi-TRP is applied.

Claims (17)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives downlink control information (DCI) indicating one or more sounding reference signal (SRS) resource indicators (SRIs); and

a processor that, based on a value of bits included in the DCI and indicating a transmit precoding matrix indicator (TPMI), controls a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission using one transmission/reception point (TRP) when the DCI indicates one SRI, and controls a PUSCH transmission using multiple TRPs when the DCI indicates a plurality of SRIs.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein when the DCI indicates a plurality of SRIs, the processor determines that a number of antenna ports is the same between a plurality of SRS resources corresponding to the plurality of SRIs.

3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein when the DCI indicates one SRI, the processor controls the PUSCH transmission using the one TRP based on a value of a specific number of lower order bits of the bits indicating the TPMI, and ignores a value of remaining bits of the bits indicating the TPMI.

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

receiving downlink control information (DCI) indicating one or more sounding reference signal (SRS) resource indicators (SRIs); and

based on a value of bits included in the DCI and indicating a transmit precoding matrix indicator (TPMI), controlling a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission using one transmission/reception point (TRP) when the DCI indicates one SRI, and controlling a PUSCH transmission using multiple TRPs when the DCI indicates a plurality of SRIs.

5. A base station comprising:

a transmitter that transmits downlink control information (DCI) indicating one or more sounding reference signal (SRS) resource indicators (SRIs); and

a processor that controls reception of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) using one transmission/reception point (TRP) when the DCI indicates one SRI, and controls reception of a PUSCH using multiple TRPs when the DCI indicates a plurality of SRIs, the PUSCH using the one TRP and the PUSCH using the multiple TRPs being transmitted based on a value of bits included in the DCI and indicating a transmit precoding matrix indicator (TPMI).

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

the terminal comprises:

a receiver that receives downlink control information (DCI) indicating one or more sounding reference signal (SRS) resource indicators (SRIs); and

a processor that, based on a value of bits included in the DCI and indicating a transmit precoding matrix indicator (TPMI), controls a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission using one transmission/reception point (TRP) when the DCI indicates one SRI, and controls a PUSCH transmission using multiple TRPs when the DCI indicates a plurality of SRIs, and

the base station comprises:

a transmitter that transmits the DCI.
