Abstract

In a communication system that includes an access point, a repeater #1, and a repeater #2 and wirelessly communicates with a terminal, the access point wirelessly communicates with the repeater #1 on at least a first channel included in a first frequency band and wirelessly communicates with the repeater #2 on at least a second channel included in a second frequency band different than the first frequency band, the repeater #1 wirelessly communicates with the terminal on at least a third channel included in the second frequency band, and the repeater #2 wirelessly communicates with the terminal on at least a fourth channel included in the first frequency band.

Claims (10)

1. A user equipment for multiple transmission and reception points (TRPs), comprising:

a receiver configured to receive information from a first transmitter and a second transmitter, the information indicating whether simultaneous communication is supported; and

a processor configured to control the receiver to receive a first Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) and a second PDSCH from the first transmitter and the second transmitter in a first frequency channel and a second frequency channel different from the first frequency channel, respectively when the information indicates that the simultaneous communication is supported, wherein

the first PDSCH received and the second PDSCH received have been transmitted while being partially overlapped in a time domain.

2. The user equipment according to claim 1 , wherein

when the information indicates that the simultaneous communication is not supported, the receiver is further configured to receive the first PDSCH and the second PDSCH that are transmitted while being non-overlapped in the time domain.

3. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having a program stored thereon for causing a computer to execute a method comprising:

receiving information from a first transmitter and a second transmitter, the information indicating whether simultaneous communication is supported; and

controlling the receiving to receive a first Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) and a second PDSCH from the first transmitter and the second transmitter in a first frequency channel and a second frequency channel different from the first frequency channel, respectively when the information indicates that the simultaneous communication is supported, wherein

the first PDSCH received and the second PDSCH received have been transmitted while being partially overlapped in a time domain.
