Abstract

A terminal according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: a receiving section that, when there is no downlink signal having an indicated TCI state in a same symbol as the A-CSI-RS, receives an aperiodic channel state information-reference signal (A-CSI-RS) using two default transmission configuration indication (TCI) states for a physical downlink shared channel; and a control section that uses, based on at least one of capability information and a physical downlink control channel for triggering of the A-CSI-RS, one default TCI state of the two default TCI states for measurement of the A-CSI-RS. According to the aspect of the present disclosure, the A-CSI-RS can be appropriately measured.

Claims (23)

1 . A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives an aperiodic channel state information reference signal (A-CSI-RS); and

a processor that, when capability information indicating support of a behavior of using, for measurement of the A-CSI-RS, one default transmission configuration indication (TCI) state of two default TCI states configured with quasi-co-location (QCL) type D for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) is reported and there is no downlink signal with indicated TCI state in a same symbol as the A-CSI-RS, controls to use, for measurement of the A-CSI-RS, the one default TCI state,

wherein the one default TCI state is a first default TCI state of the two default TCI states, and

the two default TCI states are two TCI states corresponding to a lowest codepoint of one or more TCI codepoints including two TCI states.

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

receiving an aperiodic channel state information reference signal (A-CSI-RS); and

when capability information indicating support of a behavior of using, for measurement of the A-CSI-RS, one default transmission configuration indication (TCI) state of two default TCI states configured with quasi-co-location (QCL) type D for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) is reported and there is no downlink signal with indicated TCI state in a same symbol as the A-CSI-RS, controlling to use, for measurement of the A-CSI-RS, the one default TCI state,

wherein the one default TCI state is a first default TCI state of the two default TCI states, and

the two default TCI states are two TCI states corresponding to a lowest codepoint of one or more TCI codepoints including two TCI states.

3 . A base station comprising:

a transmitter that transmits an aperiodic channel state information reference signal (A-CSI-RS); and

a processor that, when capability information indicating support of a behavior of using, for measurement of the A-CSI-RS, one default transmission configuration indication (TCI) state of two default TCI states configured with quasi-co-location (QCL) type D for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) is received and there is no downlink signal with indicated TCI state in a same symbol as the A-CSI-RS, obtains a report of the A-CSI-RS measured using the one default TCI state,

wherein the one default TCI state is a first default TCI state of the two default TCI states, and

the two default TCI states are two TCI states corresponding to a lowest codepoint of one or more TCI codepoints including two TCI states.

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

the terminal comprises:

a receiver that receives an aperiodic channel state information reference signal (A-CSI-RS); and

a processor that, when capability information indicating support of a behavior of using, for measurement of the A-CSI-RS, one default transmission configuration indication (TCI) state of two default TCI states configured with quasi-co-location (QCL) type D for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) is reported and there is no downlink signal with indicated TCI state in a same symbol as the A-CSI-RS, controls to use, for measurement of the A-CSI-RS, the one default TCI state,

wherein the one default TCI state is a first default TCI state of the two default TCI states, and

the two default TCI states are two TCI states corresponding to a lowest codepoint of one or more TCI codepoints including two TCI states, and

the base station comprises:

a transmitter that transmits the A-CSI-RS.
