Abstract

A UE receives a radio signal via a receive beam. The UE controls the receive beam in a first state or in a second state where control of the receive beam is different from that of the first state. The UE executes received power measurement using a synchronization signal block by simultaneously using a plurality of the receive beams in a case of controlling the receive beam in the second state.

Claims (18)

1 . A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives a plurality of synchronization signal blocks from a base station; and

a processor that simultaneously performs reception power measurement using the plurality of synchronization signal blocks.

2 . The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein

the receiver receives a first synchronization signal block and a second synchronization signal block from different directions; and

the processor simultaneously executes in the different directions:

a first received power measurement using the first synchronization signal block; and

a second received power measurement using the second synchronization signal block.

3 . The terminal according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a transmitter that transmits information indicating a number of received power measurements that can be performed simultaneously, to the network.

4 . A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives a plurality of beam failure detection-reference signals from a base station; and

a processor that simultaneously executes measurements using the plurality of beam failure detection-reference signals.

5 . The terminal according to claim 4 , wherein

the receiver receives a first beam failure detection-reference signal and a second beam failure detection-reference signal from different directions; and

the processor simultaneously executes in the different directions:

a first measurement using the first beam failure detection-reference signal, and

a second measurement using the second beam failure detection-reference signal.
