User terminal, base station and radio communication method

Abstract

In order to reduce the load and / or the latency of User Equipments (UEs) in radio communication systems in which communication is performed using different configurations from those used in existing Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems, the present invention provides a user terminal that has a receiving section configured to receive a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and a broadcast channel (PBCH), and a control section configured to control, in a predetermined block that is formed by a predetermined number of symbols and a predetermined number of subcarriers, reception of the PSS and the SSS which are located in a first frequency domain, and the PBCH which is located in at least part of a second frequency domain that is broader than the first frequency domain. The PBCH is located in the predetermined block in at least part of a predetermined domain that neighbors the SSS in the frequency direction, and the PBCH is not located in a predetermined domain that neighbors the PSS in the frequency direction.
