Abstract

A terminal according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes: a receiving section that receives downlink control information (DCI) including specific information different from a sounding reference signal resource indicator (SRI), and receives mapping between the specific information and a parameter related to uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission power control by using higher layer signaling; and a control section that determines a parameter used for the PUSCH transmission power control, based on the specific information and the mapping. According to one aspect of the present disclosure, parameters related to UL transmission power control can be appropriately determined.

Claims (30)

1. A terminal comprising:

a transmitter that reports capability information supporting a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state of uplink (UL);

a receiver that receives downlink control information (DCI) indicating a UL TCI state identifier, and receives, by higher layer signaling, a mapping between the UL TCI state identifier and a parameter related to uplink (UL) shared channel (PUSCH) transmission power control; and

a processor that determines, based on the UL TCI state identifier and the mapping, a parameter used for the PUSCH transmission power control after the transmitter reports the capability information,

wherein the processor determines, based on a configuration of power control of a PUSCH by a Sounding reference signal Resource Indicator (SRI), a parameter used for the PUSCH transmission power control in response to the transmitter not reporting the capability information, and

wherein the configuration includes an identifier of a PUSCH path loss reference Reference Signal (RS) and a closed loop index.

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

reporting capability information supporting a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state of uplink (UL);

receiving downlink control information (DCI) indicating a UL TCI state identifier, and receiving, by higher layer signaling, a mapping between the UL TCI state identifier and a parameter related to uplink (UL) shared channel (PUSCH) transmission power control; and

determining, based on the UL TCI state identifier and the mapping, a parameter used for the PUSCH transmission power control after the terminal reports the capability information,

wherein, in response to the terminal not reporting the capability information, determining, based on a configuration of power control of a PUSCH by a Sounding reference signal Resource Indicator (SRI), a parameter used for the PUSCH transmission power control, and

wherein the configuration includes an identifier of a PUSCH path loss reference Reference Signal (RS) and a closed loop index.

3. A base station, comprising:

a receiver that receives capability information supporting a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state of uplink (UL);

a transmitter that transmits downlink control information (DCI) indicating a UL TCI state identifier, and transmits, by higher layer signaling, a mapping between the UL TCI state identifier and a parameter related to uplink (UL) shared channel (PUSCH) transmission power control; and

a processor that controls reception of a PUSCH to which a parameter used for the PUSCH transmission power control is applied, the parameter being determined based on the UL TCI state identifier and the mapping, after the receiver receives the capability information,

wherein the processor controls reception of the PUSCH to which a parameter used for the PUSCH transmission power control determined based on a configuration of power control of a PUSCH by a Sounding reference signal Resource Indicator (SRI) is applied in response to the receiver not receiving the capability information, and

wherein the configuration includes an identifier of a PUSCH path loss reference Reference Signal (RS) and a closed loop index.

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

the terminal comprises:

a transmitter of the terminal that reports capability information supporting a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state of uplink (UL);

a receiver of the terminal that receives downlink control information (DCI) indicating a UL TCI state identifier, and receives, by higher layer signaling, a mapping between the UL TCI state identifier and a parameter related to uplink (UL) shared channel (PUSCH) transmission power control; and

a processor of the terminal that determines, based on the UL TCI state identifier and the mapping, a parameter used for the PUSCH transmission power control after the transmitter of the terminal reports the capability information,

wherein the processor of the terminal determines, based on a configuration of power control of a PUSCH by a Sounding reference signal Resource Indicator (SRI), a parameter used for the PUSCH transmission power control in response to the transmitter of the terminal not reporting the capability information, and

the base station comprises:

a receiver of the base station that receives the capability information;

a transmitter of the base station that transmits the DCI and the higher layer signaling; and

a processor of the base station that controls reception of a PUSCH to which the parameter used for the PUSCH transmission power control is applied, the parameter being determined based on the UL TCI state identifier and the mapping, after the receiver of the base station receives the capability information,

wherein the processor of the base station controls reception of the PUSCH to which the parameter used for the PUSCH transmission power control determined based on the configuration is applied in response to the receiver of the base station not receiving the capability information, and

wherein the configuration includes an identifier of a PUSCH path loss reference Reference Signal (RS) and a closed loop index.
