Abstract

A terminal comprises: a transmission unit that transmits a reference signal used for a purpose other than a measurement related to a radio resource management; and a control unit that assumes the measurement related to the radio resource management is performed using the reference signal.

Claims (19)

1 . A terminal comprising:

a transmitter that transmits a reference signal used for a purpose other than a measurement related to a radio resource management; and

a processor that assumes the measurement related to the radio resource management is performed using the reference signal.

2 . A terminal comprising:

a receiver that receives a notification indicating a transmission of a dynamic reference signal dynamically transmitted as a reference signal used for a measurement related to a radio resource management; and

a transmitter that transmits the dynamic reference signal based on the notification.

3 . A base station comprising:

a receiver that receives a reference signal used for a purpose other than a measurement related to a radio resource management; and

a processor that performs the measurement related to the radio resource management using the reference signal.

4 . A base station comprising:

a transmitter that transmits a notification indicating a transmission of a dynamic reference signal dynamically transmitted as a reference signal used for a measurement related to a radio resource management;

a receiver that receives the dynamic reference signal; and

a processor that performs the measurement related to the radio resource management using the dynamic reference signal.

5 . A radio communication method comprising:

transmitting a reference signal used for a purpose other than a measurement related to a radio resource management; and

assuming the measurement related to the radio resource management is performed using the reference signal.

6 . A radio communication method comprising:

receiving a notification indicating a transmission of a dynamic reference signal dynamically transmitted as a reference signal used for a measurement related to a radio resource management; and

transmitting the dynamic reference signal based on the notification.
