Abstract

A terminal according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: a receiving section that receives information related to an association between a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state applied to a plurality of types of uplink signals and one or more power control parameters applied to one type of uplink signal among the plurality of types of uplink signals; and a control section that controls transmission of the one type of uplink signal based on the information. According to one aspect of the present disclosure, the power control parameter can be appropriately controlled.

Claims (18)

1 . A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives a radio resource control (RRC) information element regarding a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state that is applied for a plurality of types of uplink signals, and receives an RRC information element regarding association between each TCI state notified by the RRC information element regarding the TCI state and one or more power control parameters applied to one type of an uplink signal among the plurality of types of the uplink signals; and

a processor that controls transmission of the one type of the uplink signal, based on the RRC information element regarding the TCI state and the RRC information element regarding the association.

2 . The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein a pathloss reference signal (PL-RS) notified by the RRC information element regarding the association is common to the plurality of types of the uplink signals.

3 . The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein a maximum number of power control parameter sets is smaller than a maximum number of the TCI state, the maximum number of power control parameter sets being notified for each TCI state that is notified by the RRC information element regarding the TCI state.

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

receiving a radio resource control (RRC) information element regarding a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state that is applied for a plurality of types of uplink signals, and receiving an RRC information element regarding association between each TCI state notified by the RRC information element regarding the TCI state and one or more power control parameters applied to one type of an uplink signal among the plurality of types of the uplink signals; and

controlling transmission of the one type of the uplink signal, based on the RRC information element regarding the TCI state and the RRC information element regarding the association.

5 . A base station comprising:

a transmitter that transmits a radio resource control (RRC) information element regarding a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state that is applied for a plurality of types of uplink signals, and transmits an RRC information element regarding association between each TCI state notified by the RRC information element regarding the TCI state and one or more power control parameters applied to one type of an uplink signal among the plurality of types of the uplink signals; and

a processor that controls reception of the one type of the uplink signal transmitted, from a terminal, based on the RRC information element regarding the TCI state and the RRC information element regarding the association.

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

the terminal comprises:

a receiver that receives a radio resource control (RRC) information element regarding a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state that is applied for a plurality of types of uplink signals, and receives an RRC information element regarding association between each TCI state notified by the RRC information element regarding the TCI state and one or more power control parameters applied to one type of an uplink signal among the plurality of types of the uplink signals; and

a processor that controls transmission of the one type of the uplink signal, based on the RRC information element regarding the TCI state and the RRC information element regarding the association, and

the base station comprises:

a transmitter that transmits the RRC information element regarding the TCI state, and transmits the RRC information element regarding the association; and

a processor that controls reception of the one type of the uplink signal transmitted, from the terminal, based on the RRC information element regarding the TCI state and the RRC information element regarding the association.
