Abstract

A terminal according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a receiving section that receives DCI based on a specific assumption regarding a size of a sounding reference signal resource indicator (SRI) field of the DCI scheduling a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) when a control resource set (CORESET) pool index is configured to at least one CORESET, and a control section that determines spatial relation information for the PUSCH based on at least one of the SRI field and a CORESET pool index of a CORESET in which the DCI is detected. According to one aspect of the present disclosure, UL transmission can be appropriately controlled even in a case where multi-TRPs are used.

Claims (19)

1 . A terminal comprising:

a receiver that, when a control resource set (CORESET) pool index is configured for each of multiple CORESETs, receives multiple downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); and

a processor that determines a number of bits of a sounding reference signal resource indicator (SRI) field of each of the multiple DCI, based on a number of SRS resources included in an SRS resource set associated with a CORESET pool index of a CORESET in which each of the multiple DCI is detected, and determines spatial relation information for the PUSCH, based on the SRI field and the CORESET pool index.

2 . The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein transmission of the PUSCH is a non-codebook based transmission, and a precoder for the transmission of the PUSCH is determined based on the spatial relation information.

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

when a control resource set (CORESET) pool index is configured for each of multiple CORESETs, receiving multiple downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH);

determining a number of bits of a sounding reference signal resource indicator (SRI) field of each of the multiple DCI, based on a number of SRS resources included in an SRS resource set associated with a CORESET pool index of a CORESET in which each of the multiple DCI is detected; and

determining spatial relation information for the PUSCH, based on the SRI field and the CORESET pool index.

4 . A base station comprising:

a transmitter that, when a control resource set (CORESET) pool index is configured for each of multiple CORESETs, transmits, to a terminal, multiple downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH),

wherein a number of bits of a sounding reference signal resource indicator (SRI) field of each of the multiple DCI is determined based on a number of SRS resources included in an SRS resource set associated with a CORESET pool index of a CORESET in which each of the multiple DCI is detected; and

a receiver that receives the PUSCH based on spatial relation information determined by the terminal based on the SRI field and the CORESET pool index.

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

the terminal comprises:

a receiver that, when a control resource set (CORESET) pool index is configured for each of multiple CORESETs, receives multiple downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); and

a processor that determines a number of bits of a sounding reference signal resource indicator (SRI) field of each of the multiple DCI, based on a number of SRS resources included in an SRS resource set associated with a CORESET pool index of a CORESET in which each of the multiple DCI is detected, and determines a spatial relation information for the PUSCH, based on the SRI field and the CORESET pool index, and

the base station comprises:

a transmitter that transmits the multiple DCI to the terminal; and

a receiver that receives the PUSCH.
