Abstract

A terminal according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: a transmitting section that transmits a random access preamble in a given cell in a case where a beam failure is detected; and a control section that assumes the same antenna port quasi-collocation parameters as ones associated with an index of a reference signal corresponding to the random access preamble for monitoring of a downlink control channel in a given control resource set, after a given period from the last symbol of first downlink control channel reception where a downlink control information format having a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled by a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) and containing an uplink grant for new transmission is detected and until specific information regarding a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state of the downlink control channel is received, in a case where a beam failure recovery medium access control control element (MAC CE) is transmitted in a message 3 or a message A of a contention based random access procedure corresponding to the random access preamble. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, it is possible to appropriately update a beam in relation to BFR.

Claims (28)

1 . A terminal comprising:

a transmitter that, when beam failure is detected, transmits a random access preamble on a cell; and

a processor that, when a Medium Access Control Control Element (MAC CE) for beam failure recovery is transmitted in a message, to a base station, of a contention-based random access procedure corresponding to the random access preamble, uses, for uplink control channel transmission on the cell on which the random access preamble is transmitted, a same spatial filter as for a last random access preamble transmission, after a certain duration from a last symbol of downlink control channel reception of a message, from the base station, where a downlink control information format with Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) scrambled by a Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI) is detected, and until receiving an activation command for spatial relation information of the uplink control channel if information regarding the spatial relation information of the uplink control channel is provided,

wherein the message to the base station is message A,

wherein the message from the base station is message B, and

wherein the processor determines a transmission power of the uplink control channel according to a formula for determination of the transmission power by using qu=0, qd=qnew, and l=0, where the qu is an index of P0 for an uplink control channel indicating P0 for the uplink control channel in a P0 set for the uplink control channel, the qd is an index of pathloss reference reference signal (RS), the qnew is an index of a Synchronization Signal (SS)/Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) block selected for a last random access channel transmission, and the l is an index of an uplink control channel power control adjustment state.

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

when beam failure is detected, transmitting a random access preamble on a cell; and

when a Medium Access Control Control Element (MAC CE) for beam failure recovery is transmitted in a message, to a base station, of a contention-based random access procedure corresponding to the random access preamble, using, for uplink control channel transmission on the cell on which the random access preamble is transmitted, a same spatial filter as for a last random access preamble transmission, after a certain duration from a last symbol of downlink control channel reception of a message, from the base station, where a downlink control information format with Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) scrambled by a Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI) is detected, and until receiving an activation command for spatial relation information of the uplink control channel if information regarding the spatial relation information of the uplink control channel is provided,

wherein the message to the base station is message A,

wherein the message from the base station is message B, and

wherein a transmission power of the uplink control channel is determined according to a formula for determination of the transmission power by using qu=0, qd=qnew, and l=0, where the qu is an index of P0 for an uplink control channel indicating P0 for the uplink control channel in a P0 set for the uplink control channel, the qd is an index of pathloss reference reference signal (RS), the qnew is an index of a Synchronization Signal (SS)/Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) block selected for a last random access channel transmission, and the l is an index of an uplink control channel power control adjustment state.

3 . A base station comprising:

a receiver that receives, on a cell, a random access preamble that is transmitted from a terminal when beam failure is detected; and

a processor that, when a Medium Access Control Control Element (MAC CE) for beam failure recovery is transmitted in a message, from the terminal, of a contention-based random access procedure corresponding to the random access preamble, assumes that the terminal uses, for uplink control channel transmission on the cell on which the random access preamble is transmitted, a same spatial filter as for a last random access preamble transmission, after a certain duration from a last symbol of downlink control channel reception of a message, to the terminal, where a downlink control information format with Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) scrambled by a Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI) is detected, and until the terminal receives an activation command for spatial relation information of the uplink control channel if information regarding the spatial relation information of the uplink control channel is provided,

wherein the message from the terminal is message A,

wherein the message to the terminal is message B, and

wherein a transmission power of the uplink control channel is determined according to a formula for determination of the transmission power by using qu=0, qd=qnew, and l=0, where the qu is an index of P0 for an uplink control channel indicating P0 for the uplink control channel in a P0 set for the uplink control channel, the qd is an index of pathloss reference reference signal (RS), the qnew is an index of a Synchronization Signal (SS)/Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) block selected for a last random access channel transmission, and the l is an index of an uplink control channel power control adjustment state.
