In Figure 1, the wireless communication system comprises at least terminal devices 1A to 1C and a base station device 3 (BS#3). Hereinafter, terminal devices 1A to 1C will also be referred to as terminal device 1 (UE#1).

[0016] The base station device 3 may consist of one or more transmitting devices (or a transmitting point, a transceiver, and a transceiver). If the base station device 3 consists of multiple transmitting devices, each of the multiple transmitting devices may be located in a different position.

A symbol may correspond to a resource element.

[0048] When the large-scale properties of a channel through which symbols are transmitted at one antenna port can be estimated from the channel through which symbols are transmitted at another antenna port, the two antenna ports are referred to as QCL (Quasi Co-Located). Here, the large-scale properties may include at least the long-range properties of the channel. The large-scale properties may include at least some or all of the delay spread, Doppler spread, Doppler shift, average gain, average delay, and some or all of the spatial Rx parameters. The first and second antenna ports being QCL with respect to beam parameters may mean that the received beam assumed by the receiver for the first antenna port is the same (or corresponds) to the received beam assumed by the receiver for the second antenna port. The first and second antenna ports being QCL with respect to beam parameters means that the transmission beam assumed by the receiver for the first antenna port and the transmission beam assumed by the receiver for the second antenna port are identical (or correspond). Terminal device 1 may assume that the two antenna ports are QCL if the large-scale characteristics of the channel through which symbols are transmitted at one antenna port can be estimated from the channel through which symbols are transmitted at the other antenna port. The two antenna ports being QCL may also mean that it is assumed that the two antenna ports are QCL.

Downlink BWP switching may be controlled by a BWP field included in the downlink control information. Downlink BWP switching may also be controlled based on parameters of a higher layer.

[0074] Uplink BWP switching is used to deactivate one active uplink BWP and activate one of the inactive uplink BWPs that is not the active one. Uplink BWP switching may be controlled by a BWP field included in the downlink control information. Uplink BWP switching may also be controlled based on higher-level parameters.

[0075] Of the one or more downlink BWPs set for a serving cell, two or more do not have to be set as active downlink BWPs. For a serving cell, one downlink BWP may be active at any given time.

[0076] Of the one or more uplink BWPs set for a serving cell, two or more uplink BWPs do not need to be set as active uplink BWPs. For a serving cell, one uplink BWP may be active at a given time.

[0077] Figure 6 is a schematic block diagram showing an example of the configuration of a terminal device 1 according to one aspect of this embodiment. As shown in Figure 6, the terminal device 1 includes at least one or all of a wireless transceiver unit (physical layer processing unit) 10 and a higher layer processing unit 14. The wireless transceiver unit 10 includes at least part or all of an antenna unit 11, an RF unit 12, and a baseband unit 13. The higher layer processing unit 14 includes at least part or all of a media access control layer processing unit 15 and a wireless resource control layer processing unit 16.

[0078] The wireless transmitting / receiving unit 10 includes at least part or all of the wireless transmitting unit 10a and the wireless receiving unit 10b. Here, the device configuration of the baseband unit 13 included in the wireless transmitting unit 10a and the baseband unit 13 included in the wireless receiving unit 10b may be the same or different. Also, the device configuration of the RF unit 12 included in the wireless transmitting unit 10a and the RF unit 12 included in the wireless receiving unit 10b may be the same or different. Furthermore, the device configuration of the antenna unit 11 included in the wireless transmitting unit 10a and the antenna unit 11 included in the wireless receiving unit 10b may be the same or different.

[0079] For example, the wireless transmitter 10a may generate and transmit a PRACH baseband signal. For example, the wireless transmitter 10a may generate and transmit a PUCCH baseband signal. The wireless transmitter 10a may generate and transmit a PUSCH baseband signal. For example, the wireless transmitter 10a may generate and transmit a PUCCH DMRS baseband signal. For example, the wireless transmitter 10a may generate and transmit a PUSCH DMRS baseband signal. For example, the wireless transmitter 10a may generate and transmit a UL PTRS baseband signal. For example, the wireless transmitter 10a may generate and transmit an SRS baseband signal. Generating an SRS baseband signal may also mean generating an SRS sequence.

[0080] For example, the wireless receiver 10b may receive and demodulate PDSCH. For example, the wireless receiver 10b may receive and demodulate PDCCH. For example, the wireless receiver 10b may receive and demodulate PBCH. For example, the wireless receiver 10b may receive a synchronization signal. For example, the wireless receiver 10b may receive PDSCH DMRS. For example, the wireless receiver 10b may receive PDCCH DMRS. For example, the wireless receiver 10b may receive CSI-RS. For example, the wireless receiver 10b may receive DL PTRS.

[0081] The upper layer processing unit 14 outputs the uplink data (transport block) to the wireless transceiver unit 10 (or wireless transmission unit 10a). The upper layer processing unit 14 performs processing at the MAC layer, packet data integration protocol layer, wireless link control layer, and RRC layer.

[0082] The media access control layer processing unit 15, which is part of the upper layer processing unit 14, performs MAC layer processing.

[0083] The wireless resource control layer processing unit 16, located in the upper layer processing unit 14, performs RRC layer processing. The wireless resource control layer processing unit 16 manages various setting information / parameters (RRC parameters) of the terminal device 1. The wireless resource control layer processing unit 16 sets RRC parameters based on RRC messages received from the base station device 3.

[0084] The wireless transceiver unit 10 (or wireless transmission unit 10a) performs processing such as modulation and encoding. The wireless transceiver unit 10 (or wireless transmission unit 10a) generates a physical signal by modulating, encoding, and generating a baseband signal (converting to a time-continuous signal) uplink data, and transmits it to the base station device 3. The wireless transceiver unit 10 (or wireless transmission unit 10a) may also place the physical signal on a BWP (active uplink BWP) and transmit it to the base station device 3.

[0085] The wireless transceiver 10 (or wireless receiver 10b) performs processing such as demodulation and decoding. The wireless transceiver 10 (or wireless receiver 30b) may receive a physical signal in a BWP (active downlink BWP) of a serving cell. The wireless transceiver 10 (or wireless receiver 10b) separates, demodulates, and decodes the received physical signal, and outputs the decoded information to the upper layer processing unit 14. The wireless transceiver 10 (or wireless receiver 10b) may perform a channel access procedure prior to transmitting the physical signal.

[0086] The RF unit 12 converts the signal received via the antenna unit 11 into a baseband signal by quadrature demodulation (downconvert) and removes unwanted frequency components. The RF unit 12 outputs the processed analog signal to the baseband unit 13.

[0087] The baseband unit 13 converts the analog signal input from the RF unit 12 into a digital signal. The baseband unit 13 removes the portion corresponding to the Cyclic Prefix (CP) from the converted digital signal, and performs a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) on the signal from which the CP has been removed to extract the signal in the frequency domain.

[0088] The baseband unit 13 performs an inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) on the uplink data to generate an OFDM symbol, adds a CP to the generated OFDM symbol to generate a baseband digital signal, and converts the baseband digital signal into an analog signal. The baseband unit 13 outputs the converted analog signal to the RF unit 12.

[0089] The RF unit 12 uses a low-pass filter to remove unwanted frequency components from the analog signal input from the baseband unit 13, upconverts the analog signal to the carrier frequency, and transmits it via the antenna unit 11. The RF unit 12 may also have a function to control the transmission power. The RF unit 12 is also referred to as the transmission power control unit.

[0090] The following will explain physical signals (signals).

[0091] Physical signals are a collective term for downlink physical channels, downlink physical signals, uplink physical channels, and uplink physical channels. Physical channels are a collective term for downlink physical channels and uplink physical channels. Physical signals are a collective term for downlink physical signals and uplink physical signals.

[0092] An uplink physical channel may correspond to a set of resource elements that transmit information generated in the higher layer. An uplink physical channel may also be a physical channel used in an uplink component carrier. An uplink physical channel may be transmitted by terminal device 1. An uplink physical channel may be received by base station device 3. In a wireless communication system according to one aspect of this embodiment, at least some or all of the following uplink physical channels may be used: ・PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel) ・PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel) ・PRACH (Physical Random Access Channel)

[0093] A PUCCH may be used to transmit uplink control information (UCI). A PUCCH may be transmitted to deliver, transmit, or convey uplink control information. Uplink control information may be mapped onto a PUCCH. Terminal device 1 may transmit a PUCCH on which uplink control information is mapped. Base station device 3 may receive a PUCCH on which uplink control information is mapped.

[0095] Channel status information is also referred to as channel status information bits or channel status information sequences. Scheduling requests are also referred to as scheduling request bits or scheduling request sequences. HARQ-ACK information is also referred to as HARQ-ACK information bits or HARQ-ACK information sequences.

[0096] HARQ-ACK information may include at least a HARQ-ACK corresponding to a transport block (TB). A HARQ-ACK may indicate an ACK (acknowledgement) or NACK (negative-acknowledgement) corresponding to a transport block. An ACK may indicate that the transport block has been decoded successfully. A NACK may indicate that the transport block has not been decoded successfully. HARQ-ACK information may include a HARQ-ACK codebook containing one or more HARQ-ACK bits.

[0097] A transport block is a sequence of information bits delivered from a higher layer. Here, the sequence of information bits is also called a bit sequence. Here, the transport block may be delivered from the UL-SCH (UpLink-Shared Channel) of the transport layer.

[0098] The HARQ-ACK for a transport block is sometimes referred to as the HARQ-ACK for a PDSCH. In this case, "HARQ-ACK for a PDSCH" refers to the HARQ-ACK for the transport block included in the PDSCH.

[0099] HARQ-ACK may represent an ACK or NACK corresponding to a single CBG (Code Block Group) contained within a transport block.

[0100] A scheduling request may be used to request UL-SCH resources for a new transmission. The scheduling request bit may be used to indicate either a positive SR or a negative SR. When the scheduling request bit indicates a positive SR, it is also referred to as "a positive SR is transmitted." A positive SR may indicate that terminal device 1 is requesting UL-SCH resources for a new transmission. A positive SR may indicate that the scheduling request is triggered by a higher layer. A positive SR may be transmitted when the scheduling request is instructed by a higher layer. When the scheduling request bit indicates a negative SR, it is also referred to as "a negative SR is transmitted." A negative SR may indicate that terminal device 1 is not requesting UL-SCH resources for a new transmission. A negative SR may indicate that the scheduling request is not triggered by a higher layer. A negative SR may be transmitted when the scheduling request is not instructed by a higher layer.

[0101] Channel status information may include at least some or all of the Channel Quality Indicator (CQI), Precoder Matrix Indicator (PMI), and Rank Indicator (RI). CQI is an indicator related to the quality of the propagation path (e.g., propagation intensity) or the quality of the physical channel, PMI is an indicator related to the precoder, and RI is an indicator related to the transmit rank (or transmit layer number).

[0102] Channel status information is an index of the reception status of at least the physical signal (e.g., CSI-RS) used for channel measurement. The value of the channel status information may be determined by the terminal device 1 based on the reception status assumed by at least the physical signal used for channel measurement. Channel measurement may include interference measurement.

[0103] PUCCH may support the PUCCH format. PUCCH may be a set of resource elements used to transmit the PUCCH format. PUCCH may contain the PUCCH format. PUCCH may be transmitted with a certain PUCCH format. The PUCCH format may be interpreted as a format of information.

PRACH sequence x u,v (n) is x u,v (n) = x u (mod(n+C) v , L RA Defined by )), where x u It belongs to the ZC (Zadoff Chu) series. Also, x u is x u =exp(-jπui(i+1) / L RA ) may be defined by j, where j is the imaginary unit, and π is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. v This corresponds to the cyclic shift of the PRACH series. Also, L RA This corresponds to the length of the PRACH sequence. Also, L RAIt is 839 or 139. Also, i is from 0 to L RA It is an integer in the range of -1. Also, u is the series index for the PRACH series.

[0106] For each PRACH opportunity, 64 random access preambles are defined. The random access preamble is a cyclic shift C of the PRACH sequence. v and are identified based on the series index u for the PRACH series. Each of the identified 64 random access preambles may be indexed.

[0107] Uplink physical signals may correspond to a set of resource elements. Uplink physical signals do not necessarily have to be used to transmit information generated in the upper layer. However, uplink physical signals may be used to transmit information generated in the physical layer. Uplink physical signals may also be physical signals used in the uplink component carrier. Terminal device 1 may transmit uplink physical signals. Base station device 3 may receive uplink physical signals. In a wireless communication system according to one aspect of this embodiment, at least some or all of the following uplink physical signals may be used: ・UL DMRS (UpLink Demodulation Reference Signal) ・SRS (Sounding Reference Signal) ・UL PTRS (UpLink Phase Tracking Reference Signal)

[0109] The set of antenna ports for a DMRS for a PUSCH (DMRS associated with a PUSCH, DMRS included in a PUSCH, and DMRS corresponding to a PUSCH) may be given based on the set of antenna ports for the PUSCH. For example, the set of antenna ports for a DMRS for a PUSCH may be the same as the set of antenna ports for the PUSCH.

[0110] The transmission of a PUSCH and the transmission of a DMRS for that PUSCH may be represented (or scheduled) by a single DCI format. The PUSCH and the DMRS for that PUSCH may be collectively referred to as PUSCH. Sending a PUSCH may be equivalent to sending a PUSCH and a DMRS for that PUSCH.

[0114] The propagation path of PUCCH may be estimated from the DMRS for the PUCCH.

[0115] A downlink physical channel may correspond to a set of resource elements that transmit information generated in the upper layer. A downlink physical channel may also be a physical channel used in a downlink component carrier. Base station device 3 may transmit a downlink physical channel. Terminal device 1 may receive a downlink physical channel. In a wireless communication system according to one aspect of this embodiment, at least some or all of the following downlink physical channels may be used: ・PBCH (Physical Broadcast Channel) ・PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) ・PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel)

[0116] A PBCH may be transmitted to transmit either or both of the MIB (Master Information Block) and / or physical layer control information. Here, physical layer control information is information generated at the physical layer. The MIB is a set of parameters placed in the BCCH (Broadcast Control Channel), which is a logical channel of the MAC layer. The BCCH is placed in the BCH, which is a channel of the transport layer. The BCH may be placed (mapped) in the PBCH. Terminal device 1 may receive a PBCH containing either or both of the MIB and / or physical layer control information.

The wireless frame bits consist of four bits. The wireless frame bits may consist of four bits from a 10-bit wireless frame indicator. For example, the wireless frame indicator may be used to identify wireless frames from index 0 to index 1023.

[0119] The half-radio frame bit is used to indicate whether the PBCH is transmitted in the first five subframes or the last five subframes of the radio frame. Here, the half-radio frame may consist of five subframes. Alternatively, the half-radio frame may consist of the first five subframes of the ten subframes included in the radio frame. Alternatively, the half-radio frame may consist of the last five subframes of the ten subframes included in the radio frame.

[0120] The SS / PBCH block index bits are used to indicate the SS / PBCH block index. The SS / PBCH block index bits consist of three bits. The SS / PBCH block index bits may consist of three bits from a six-bit SS / PBCH block index indicator. The SS / PBCH block index indicator may be used to identify SS / PBCH blocks from index 0 to index 63.

[0121] The subcarrier offset bit is used to indicate the subcarrier offset. The subcarrier offset may be used to indicate the difference between the leading subcarrier to which the PBCH is mapped and the leading subcarrier to which the control resource set at index 0 is mapped.

[0122] A PDCCH may be transmitted to transmit Downlink Control Information (DCI). Downlink Control Information may be mapped onto the PDCCH. Terminal device 1 may receive a PDCCH on which Downlink Control Information is mapped. Base station device 3 may transmit a PDCCH on which Downlink Control Information is mapped.

[0123] Downlink control information may be transmitted in DCI format. The DCI format may be interpreted as the format of the downlink control information. Alternatively, the DCI format may be interpreted as a set of downlink control information set in a specific downlink control information format.

[0124] DCI formats 0_0, 0_1, 1_0, and 1_1 are DCI formats. Uplink DCI formats are a collective term for DCI formats 0_0 and 0_1. Downlink DCI formats are a collective term for DCI formats 1_0 and 1_1.

[0126] The DCI format-specific field may indicate whether the DCI format containing the DCI format-specific field is an uplink DCI format or a downlink DCI format. In other words, the DCI format-specific field may be included in both the uplink DCI format and the downlink DCI format. Here, the DCI format-specific field included in DCI format 0_0 may indicate 0.

The size of the transport block (TBS) to be placed in the PUSCH may be determined based on one or both of the target coding rate and the modulation scheme for the PUSCH.

[0131] DCI format 0_0 does not need to include fields used in CSI requests.

[0132] DCI format 0_0 does not have to include a carrier indicator field. In other words, the serving cell to which the uplink component carrier on which a PUSCH scheduled by DCI format 0_0 is located belongs may be the same as the serving cell of the uplink component carrier on which a PDCCH containing DCI format 0_0 is located. Terminal device 1 may recognize that a PUSCH scheduled by DCI format 0_0 is located on the uplink component carrier of a serving cell based on the detection of DCI format 0_0 on a downlink component carrier of that serving cell.

[0133] DCI format 0_0 does not necessarily have to include a BWP field. Here, DCI format 0_0 may be a DCI format that schedules a PUSCH without changing the active uplink BWP. Terminal device 1 may recognize that it will transmit the PUSCH without switching the active uplink BWP based on detecting DCI format 0_0 used for scheduling the PUSCH.

[0134] DCI format 0_1 ​​is used at least for scheduling PUSCHs placed in a cell.

[0140] DCI format 0_1, which does not include the BWP field, may be a DCI format that schedules a PUSCH without changing the active uplink BWP. Terminal device 1 may recognize that it will transmit the PUSCH without switching the active uplink BWP, based on the detection of DCI format D0_1, which is used for scheduling a PUSCH and does not include the BWP field.

[0141] If DCI format 0_1 ​​includes a BWP field, but terminal device 1 does not support the BWP switching function using DCI format 0_1, the BWP field may be ignored by terminal device 1. In other words, terminal device 1, which does not support the BWP switching function, may recognize that DCI format 0_1 ​​is used for scheduling PUSCH and includes a BWP field, and therefore transmit the PUSCH without switching the active uplink BWP. If terminal device 1 does support the BWP switching function, it may report in the RRC layer's function information reporting procedure that "terminal device 1 supports the BWP switching function".

[0142] The CSI request field is used to instruct the CSI report.

[0143] If DCI format 0_1 ​​includes a carrier indicator field, the carrier indicator field may be used to indicate the uplink component carrier on which PUSCH is located. If DCI format 0_1 ​​does not include a carrier indicator field, the uplink component carrier on which PUSCH is located may be the same as the uplink component carrier on which PDCCH, which includes DCI format 0_1 ​​used for scheduling PUSCH, is located. If the number of uplink component carriers set on terminal device 1 in a serving cell group is two or more (when uplink carrier aggregation is operated in a serving cell group), the number of bits in the carrier indicator field included in DCI format 0_1 ​​used for scheduling PUSCH located in that serving cell group may be one or more bits (for example, three bits). If the number of uplink component carriers set on terminal device 1 in a serving cell group is 1 (i.e., uplink carrier aggregation is not operated in a serving cell group), the number of bits in the carrier indicator field included in DCI format 0_1 ​​used for scheduling PUSCH placed in that serving cell group may be 0 bits (or the carrier indicator field may not be included in DCI format 0_1 ​​used for scheduling PUSCH placed in that serving cell group).

[0145] The DCI format specific field included in DCI format 1_0 may indicate 1.

[0146] The frequency domain resource allocation field included in DCI format 1_0 may be used to indicate the allocation of frequency resources for PDSCH.

[0147] The time domain resource allocation field included in DCI format 1_0 may be used to indicate the allocation of time resources for PDSCH.

[0148] The MCS field included in DCI format 1_0 may be used to indicate at least one or both of the modulation scheme and / or target coding rate for the PDSCH. The target coding rate may be the target coding rate for the transport blocks to be placed in the PDSCH. The size of the transport blocks (TBS) to be placed in the PDSCH may be determined based on one or both of the target coding rate and / or the modulation scheme for the PDSCH.

[0149] The PDSCH_HARQ feedback timing indicator field may be used to indicate an offset from the slot containing the last OFDM symbol of the PDSCH to the slot containing the first OFDM symbol of the PUCCH.

[0150] The PUCCH resource reference field may be a field that indicates the index of one or more PUCCH resources included in the PUCCH resource set. The PUCCH resource set may contain one or more PUCCH resources.

[0151] DCI format 1_0 does not have to include a carrier indicator field. In other words, the downlink component carrier on which a PDSCH scheduled by DCI format 1_0 is located may be the same as the downlink component carrier on which a PDCCH containing DCI format 1_0 is located. Terminal device 1 may recognize that a PDSCH scheduled by DCI format 1_0 is located on a downlink component carrier based on the detection of DCI format 1_0 on that downlink component carrier.

[0152] DCI format 1_0 does not necessarily have to include a BWP field. Here, DCI format 1_0 may be a DCI format that schedules a PDSCH without changing the active downlink BWP. Terminal device 1 may recognize that it will receive the PDSCH without switching the active downlink BWP based on detecting DCI format 1_0 used for scheduling the PDSCH.

[0154] The DCI format specific field included in DCI format 1_1 may indicate 1.

[0155] The frequency domain resource allocation field included in DCI format 1_1 may be used to indicate the allocation of frequency resources for PDSCH.

[0156] The time domain resource allocation field included in DCI format 1_1 may be used to indicate the allocation of time resources for PDSCH.

[0157] The MCS field included in DCI format 1_1 may be used to indicate at least one or both of the modulation scheme and the target coding rate for PDSCH.

[0158] If DCI format 1_1 includes a PDSCH_HARQ feedback timing indicator field, this field may be used to indicate at least the offset from the slot containing the last OFDM symbol of the PDSCH to the slot containing the first OFDM symbol of the PUCCH. If DCI format 1_1 does not include a PDSCH_HARQ feedback timing indicator field, the offset from the slot containing the last OFDM symbol of the PDSCH to the slot containing the first OFDM symbol of the PUCCH may be determined by a parameter in a higher layer.

[0159] The PUCCH resource reference field may be a field that indicates the index of one or more PUCCH resources included in the PUCCH resource set.

[0160] The BWP field of DCI format 1_1 may be used to indicate the downlink BWP on which the PDSCH scheduled by DCI format 1_1 is located. In other words, DCI format 1_1 may involve changes to the active downlink BWP. Terminal device 1 may recognize the downlink BWP on which the PDSCH is located based on detecting the DCI format 1_1 used for scheduling the PDSCH.

[0161] A DCI format 1_1 that does not include a BWP field may be a DCI format that schedules a PDSCH without changing the active downlink BWP. The terminal device 1 may recognize that it will receive the PDSCH without switching the active downlink BWP based on detecting a DCI format 1_1 that is used for scheduling a PDSCH and does not include a BWP field.

[0162] If DCI format 1_1 includes a BWP field, but terminal device 1 does not support the BWP switching function according to DCI format 1_1, the BWP field may be ignored by terminal device 1. In other words, terminal device 1, which does not support the BWP switching function, may recognize that it is a DCI format 1_1 used for scheduling PDSCHs and that includes a BWP field, and may receive the PDSCH without switching the active downlink BWP. If terminal device 1 does support the BWP switching function, it may report in the RRC layer's function information reporting procedure that "terminal device 1 supports the BWP switching function".

[0163] If DCI format 1_1 includes a carrier indicator field, the carrier indicator field may be used to indicate the downlink component carrier on which the PDSCH is located. If DCI format 1_1 does not include a carrier indicator field, the downlink component carrier on which the PDSCH is located may be the same as the downlink component carrier on which the PDCCH is located, which includes DCI format 1_1 used for scheduling the PDSCH. If the number of downlink component carriers set on terminal device 1 in a serving cell group is two or more (when downlink carrier aggregation is operated in a serving cell group), the number of bits in the carrier indicator field included in DCI format 1_1 used for scheduling the PDSCHs located in that serving cell group may be one or more bits (for example, three bits). If the number of downlink component carriers set on terminal device 1 in a serving cell group is 1 (i.e., downlink carrier aggregation is not operated in a serving cell group), the number of bits in the carrier indicator field included in DCI format 1_1 used for scheduling PDSCHs placed in that serving cell group may be 0 bits (or the carrier indicator field may not be included in DCI format 1_1 used for scheduling PDSCHs placed in that serving cell group).

[0164] PDSCH may be transmitted to transmit a transport block. PDSCH may be used to transmit a transport block delivered from DL-SCH. PDSCH may be used to transmit a transport block. A transport block may be placed on the PDSCH. A transport block corresponding to DL-SCH may be placed on the PDSCH. Base station device 3 may transmit a PDSCH. Terminal device 1 may receive a PDSCH.

[0165] Downlink physical signals may correspond to a set of resource elements. Downlink physical signals do not necessarily carry information generated in higher layers. Downlink physical signals may also be physical signals used in downlink component carriers. Downlink physical signals may be transmitted by base station device 3. Downlink physical signals may be transmitted by terminal device 1. In a wireless communication system according to one aspect of this embodiment, at least some or all of the following downlink physical signals may be used: ・Synchronization signal (SS) ・Downlink DeModulation Reference Signal (DL DMRS) ・Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) ・Downlink Phase Tracking Reference Signal (DL PTRS)

[0166] The synchronization signal may be used to synchronize the terminal device 1 in either the frequency domain or the time domain of the downlink, or both. The synchronization signal is a general term for PSS (Primary Synchronization Signal) and SSS (Secondary Synchronization Signal).

[0167] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of an SS / PBCH block according to one aspect of this embodiment. In Figure 7, the horizontal axis is the time axis (OFDM symbol index l sym The vertical axis represents the frequency domain. Block 700 shows a set of resource elements for PSS. Block 720 shows a set of resource elements for SSS. Four blocks (blocks 710, 711, 712, and 713) show sets of resource elements for PBCH and DMRS for the PBCH (DMRS associated with the PBCH, DMRS contained in the PBCH, and DMRS corresponding to the PBCH).

[0168] As shown in Figure 7, the SS / PBCH block includes PSS, SSS, and PBCH. The SS / PBCH block also includes four consecutive OFDM symbols. The SS / PBCH block contains 240 subcarriers. PSS is placed in subcarriers 57 through 183 of the first OFDM symbol. SSS is placed in subcarriers 57 through 183 of the third OFDM symbol. Subcarriers 1 through 56 of the first OFDM symbol may be set to zero. Subcarriers 184 through 240 of the first OFDM symbol may be set to zero. Subcarriers 49 through 56 of the third OFDM symbol may be set to zero. Subcarriers 184 through 192 of the third OFDM symbol may be set to zero. PBCH is placed in subcarriers 1 through 240 of the second OFDM symbol, where DMRS for PBCH are not placed. PBCH is placed in the subcarriers 1 through 48 of the third OFDM symbol, where a DMRS for PBCH is not placed. PBCH is placed in the subcarriers 193 through 240 of the third OFDM symbol, where a DMRS for PBCH is not placed. PBCH is placed in the subcarriers 1 through 240 of the fourth OFDM symbol, where a DMRS for PBCH is not placed.

[0169] The antenna ports for PSS, SSS, PBCH, and DMRS for PBCH may be the same.

[0170] The PBCH whose symbol is transmitted at a given antenna port may be estimated by a DMRS for the PBCH located in the slot to which the PBCH is mapped, and which is included in the SS / PBCH block containing the PBCH.

[0171] DL DMRS is a general term for DMRS for PBCH, DMRS for PDSCH, and DMRS for PDCCH.

[0172] The set of antenna ports for a DMRS for a PDSCH (DMRS associated with a PDSCH, DMRS included in a PDSCH, DMRS corresponding to a PDSCH) may be given based on the set of antenna ports for the PDSCH. In other words, the set of antenna ports for a DMRS for a PDSCH may be the same as the set of antenna ports for the PDSCH.

[0173] The transmission of a PDSCH and the transmission of a DMRS for the PDSCH may be represented (or scheduled) by a single DCI format. The PDSCH and the DMRS for the PDSCH may be collectively referred to as the PDSCH. Transmitting a PDSCH may be equivalent to transmitting the PDSCH and the DMRS for the PDSCH.

[0174] The propagation path of a PDSCH may be estimated from the DMRS for that PDSCH. If the set of resource elements on which a PDSCH symbol is transmitted and the set of resource elements on which the DMRS symbol for that PDSCH is transmitted belong to the same Precoding Resource Group (PRG), then the PDSCH on which the PDSCH symbol is transmitted at a given antenna port may be estimated from the DMRS for that PDSCH.

[0175] The antenna port for the DMRS for PDCCH (DMRS associated with PDCCH, DMRS included in PDCCH, DMRS corresponding to PDCCH) may be the same as the antenna port for PDCCH.

[0176] A PDCCH may be inferred from the DMRS for that PDCCH. That is, the propagation path of a PDCCH may be inferred from the DMRS for that PDCCH. If the same precoder is applied (or assumed to be applied) to the set of resource elements on which the symbol of a PDCCH is transmitted and to the set of resource elements on which the symbol of the DMRS for that PDCCH is transmitted, then the PDCCH on which the symbol of that PDCCH is transmitted at a given antenna port may be inferred from the DMRS for that PDCCH.

[0177] BCH (Broadcast Channel), UL-SCH (Uplink-Shared Channel), and DL-SCH (Downlink-Shared Channel) are transport channels. Transport channels define the relationship between physical layer channels and MAC layer channels (also called logical channels).

[0178] The BCH in the transport layer is mapped to the PBCH in the physical layer. That is, transport blocks passing through the BCH in the transport layer are delivered to the PBCH in the physical layer. Also, the UL-SCH in the transport layer is mapped to the PUSCH in the physical layer. That is, transport blocks passing through the UL-SCH in the transport layer are delivered to the PUSCH in the physical layer. Furthermore, the DL-SCH in the transport layer is mapped to the PDSCH in the physical layer. That is, transport blocks passing through the DL-SCH in the transport layer are delivered to the PDSCH in the physical layer.

[0179] Each serving cell may be provided with one UL-SCH and one DL-SCH. BCH may be provided to the PCell. BCH does not have to be provided to the PSCell or SCell.

[0180] At the MAC layer, HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat request) control is performed for each transport block.

[0181] BCCH (Broadcast Control Channel), CCCH (Common Control Channel), and DCCH (Dedicated Control Channel) are logical channels. For example, BCCH is an RRC layer channel used to transmit MIB or system information. CCCH (Common Control Channel) may be used to transmit common RRC messages to multiple terminal devices 1. Here, CCCH may be used, for example, for terminal devices 1 that are not RRC connected. DCCH (Dedicated Control Channel) may be used to transmit dedicated RRC messages to terminal devices 1. Here, DCCH may be used, for example, for terminal devices 1 that are RRC connected.

[0182] Higher-level parameters common to multiple terminal devices 1 are also referred to as common higher-level parameters. Here, common higher-level parameters may be defined as parameters specific to a serving cell. Here, parameters specific to a serving cell may be parameters common to the terminal devices on which the serving cell is set (for example, terminal devices 1-A, B, C).

[0183] For example, common upper-layer parameters may be included in the RRC message delivered to the BCCH. For example, common upper-layer parameters may be included in the RRC message delivered to the DCCH.

[0184] Among the upper-level parameters, those that differ from common upper-level parameters are also called dedicated upper-level parameters. Here, dedicated upper-level parameters can provide dedicated RRC parameters for terminal device 1-A on which a serving cell is set. In other words, dedicated RRC parameters are upper-level parameters that can provide unique settings for each of terminal devices 1-A, B, and C.

[0185] The BCCH of the logical channel is mapped to the BCH or DL-SCH of the transport layer. For example, a transport block containing MIB information is delivered to the BCH of the transport layer. A transport block containing system information that is not an MIB is delivered to the DL-SCH of the transport layer. CCCH is mapped to DL-SCH or UL-SCH. That is, a transport block mapped to CCCH is delivered to DL-SCH or UL-SCH. DCCH is mapped to DL-SCH or UL-SCH. That is, a transport block mapped to DCCH is delivered to DL-SCH or UL-SCH.

[0186] An RRC message contains one or more parameters managed at the RRC layer. These parameters are also referred to as RRC parameters. For example, an RRC message may contain a MIB. It may also contain system information. Furthermore, an RRC message may contain a message corresponding to a CCCH. It may also contain a message corresponding to a DCCH. An RRC message containing a message corresponding to a DCCH is also referred to as an individual RRC message.

[0187] Higher-layer parameters are RRC parameters or parameters included in MAC CE (Medium Access Control Control Element). In other words, higher-layer parameters are a general term for MIBs, system information, messages corresponding to CCCH, messages corresponding to DCCH, and parameters included in MAC CE. Parameters included in MAC CE are sent by MAC CE (Control Element) commands.

[0188] The procedures performed by terminal device 1 include at least some or all of the following 5A to 5C: 5A) Cell search 5B) Random access 5C) Data communication

[0189] Cell search is a procedure used by terminal device 1 to synchronize with a certain cell in the time domain and frequency domain and to detect its physical cell identity. In other words, terminal device 1 may use cell search to synchronize with a certain cell in the time domain and frequency domain and detect its physical cell identity.

[0190] The PSS series is assigned based on at least the physical cell ID. The SSS series is assigned based on at least the physical cell ID.

[0191] SS / PBCH block candidates indicate resources that are permitted (possible, reserved, configured, specified, or potentially) to send SS / PBCH blocks.

[0192] A set of SS / PBCH block candidates in a half-radio frame is also called an SS burst set. An SS burst set is also called a transmission window, SS transmission window, or DRS transmission window (Discovery Reference Signal transmission window). An SS burst set is a general term that includes at least a first SS burst set and a second SS burst set.

[0193] The base station device 3 transmits SS / PBCH blocks of one or more indices at predetermined intervals. The terminal device 1 may detect at least one of the SS / PBCH blocks of the one or more indices and attempt to decode the PBCH contained in the SS / PBCH block.

[0194] Random access is a procedure that includes at least part or all of message 1, message 2, message 3, and message 4.

[0195] Message 1 is the procedure for sending a PRACH by terminal device 1. Terminal device 1 sends a PRACH in one PRACH opportunity selected from one or more PRACH opportunities, based on at least the index of SS / PBCH block candidates detected based on cell search. Each PRACH opportunity is defined based on at least resources in the time domain and frequency domain.

[0196] Terminal device 1 transmits one random access preamble selected from among the PRACH opportunities corresponding to the index of the SS / PBCH block candidate in which the SS / PBCH block is detected.

[0197] Message 2 is a procedure for terminal device 1 to attempt to detect DCI format 1_0 accompanied by a CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) scrambled with RA-RNTI (Random Access - Radio Network Temporary Identifier). Terminal device 1 attempts to detect a PDCCH containing the DCI format in the resources indicated based on the settings of the control resource set given based on the MIB contained in the PBCH contained in the SS / PBCH block detected based on cell search, and the search area set. Message 2 is also called a random access response.

[0198] Message 3 is a procedure for sending a PUSCH scheduled by a random access response grant contained in DCI format 1_0 detected by the Message 2 procedure. Here, the random access response grant is indicated by the MAC CE contained in the PDSCH scheduled by DCI format 1_0.

[0199] A PUSCH scheduled based on a random access response grant is either message 3 PUSCH or simply PUSCH. Message 3 PUSCH includes a contention resolution identifier (MAC CE). The contention resolution identifier (MAC CE) includes the contention resolution identifier.

[0200] Message 3, PUSCH, is retransmitted using DCI format 0_0 with a scrambled CRC based on TC-RNTI (Temporary Cell - Radio Network Temporary Identifier).

[0201] Message 4 is a procedure to attempt to detect DCI format 1_0 with a CRC scrambled based on either C-RNTI (Cell - Radio Network Temporary Identifier) ​​or TC-RNTI. Terminal device 1 receives a PDSCH scheduled based on the DCI format 1_0. The PDSCH may include a collision resolution ID.

[0202] Data communication is a general term encompassing both downlink communication and uplink communication.

[0203] In data communication, terminal device 1 attempts to detect PDCCH in resources identified based on the control resource set and the search area set (monitors PDCCH, monitors PDCCH).

[0204] A control resource set is a set of resources consisting of a predetermined number of resource blocks and a predetermined number of OFDM symbols. In the frequency domain, a control resource set may consist of continuous resources (non-interleaved mapping) or distributed resources (interleaver mapping).

[0205] The set of resource blocks that constitute the control resource set may be indicated by a higher-level parameter. The number of OFDM symbols that constitute the control resource set may also be indicated by a higher-level parameter.

[0206] Terminal device 1 attempts to detect PDCCH in the search area set. Here, attempting to detect PDCCH in the search area set may also mean attempting to detect candidate PDCCH in the search area set, attempting to detect DCI format in the search area set, attempting to detect PDCCH in the control resource set, attempting to detect candidate PDCCH in the control resource set, or attempting to detect DCI format in the control resource set.

[0207] A search space set is defined as a set of candidate PDCCHs. A search space set may be a CSS (Common Search Space) set or a USS (UE-specific Search Space) set. Terminal device 1 attempts to detect candidate PDCCHs in some or all of the following: Type 0 PDCCH common search space set, Type 0a PDCCH common search space set, Type 1 PDCCH common search space set, Type 2 PDCCH common search space set, Type 3 PDCCH common search space set, and / or UE-specific search space set.

[0208] A Type 0 PDCCH common search area set may be used as the common search area set for index 0. A Type 0 PDCCH common search area set may also be the common search area set for index 0.

[0209] The CSS set is a collective term for the Type 0 PDCCH Common Search Region Set, Type 0a PDCCH Common Search Region Set, Type 1 PDCCH Common Search Region Set, Type 2 PDCCH Common Search Region Set, and Type 3 PDCCH Common Search Region Set. The USS set is also called the UE Individual PDCCH Search Region Set.

[0210] A set of search domains is associated with (contains, corresponds to) a set of control resources. The index of the control resource set associated with the search domain set may be indicated by a higher-level parameter.

[0211] For a given set of search regions, some or all of 6A to 6C may be represented by at least the upper layer parameters: 6A) PDCCH monitoring periodicity; 6B) PDCCH monitoring pattern within a slot; 6C) PDCCH monitoring offset.

[0212] A monitoring occasion for a set of search regions may correspond to the OFDM symbol in which the first OFDM symbol of a control resource set associated with that search region is located. A monitoring occasion for a set of search regions may also correspond to a resource in a control resource set associated with that search region that starts from the first OFDM symbol of that control resource set. The monitoring occasion for a set of search regions is given based on at least some or all of the monitoring interval of the PDCCH, the monitoring pattern of the PDCCH in the slot, and the monitoring offset of the PDCCH.

[0213] Figure 8 shows an example of a monitoring opportunity for a search area set according to one aspect of this embodiment. In Figure 8, search area set 91 and search area set 92 are set in primary cell 301, search area set 93 is set in secondary cell 302, and search area set 94 is set in secondary cell 303.

[0214] In Figure 8, the white monochrome blocks in primary cell 301 represent search area set 91, the black monochrome blocks in primary cell 301 represent search area set 92, the blocks in secondary cell 302 represent search area set 93, and the blocks in secondary cell 303 represent search area set 94.

[0215] The monitoring interval for the search area set 91 is set to 1 slot, the monitoring offset for the search area set 91 is set to 0 slots, and the monitoring pattern for the search area set 91 is set to [1,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0]. In other words, the monitoring opportunities for the search area set 91 correspond to the first OFDM symbol (OFDM symbol #0) and the eighth OFDM symbol (OFDM symbol #7) in each slot.

[0216] The monitoring interval for the search area set 92 is set to 2 slots, the monitoring offset for the search area set 92 is set to 0 slots, and the monitoring pattern for the search area set 92 is set to [1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]. In other words, the monitoring opportunities for the search area set 92 correspond to the first OFDM symbol (OFDM symbol #0) in each of the even-numbered slots.

[0217] The monitoring interval for the search area set 93 is set to 2 slots, the monitoring offset for the search area set 93 is set to 0 slots, and the monitoring pattern for the search area set 93 is set to [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0]. In other words, the monitoring opportunities for the search area set 93 correspond to the 8th OFDM symbol (OFDM symbol #7) in each of the even-numbered slots.

[0218] The monitoring interval for the search area set 94 is set to 2 slots, the monitoring offset for the search area set 94 is set to 1 slot, and the monitoring pattern for the search area set 94 is set to [1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]. In other words, the monitoring opportunities for the search area set 94 correspond to the first OFDM symbol (OFDM symbol #0) in each of the odd-numbered slots.

[0219] The Type 0 PDCCH common search region set may be used for DCI formats with a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) sequence scrambled by SI-RNTI (System Information-Radio Network Temporary Identifier).

[0224] The UE individual PDCCH search region set may be used for the DCI format with a CRC sequence scrambled by C-RNTI.

[0225] In downlink communication, terminal device 1 detects the downlink DCI format. The detected downlink DCI format is used at least for resource allocation of the PDSCH. The detected downlink DCI format is also called the downlink assignment. Terminal device 1 attempts to receive the PDSCH. Based on the PUCCH resources indicated by the detected downlink DCI format, it reports the HARQ-ACK corresponding to the PDSCH (HARQ-ACK corresponding to the transport block contained in the PDSCH) to base station device 3.

[0226] In uplink communication, terminal device 1 detects the uplink DCI format. The detected DCI format is used at least for resource allocation in PUSCH. The detected uplink DCI format is also called an uplink grant. Terminal device 1 then transmits the PUSCH.

[0227] In configured grants, the uplink grant that schedules a PUSCH is set for each transmission cycle of the PUSCH. When a PUSCH is scheduled using the uplink DCI format, some or all of the information indicated by the uplink DCI format may be indicated by the uplink grant set in the configured grant.

[0228] A UL slot may be a slot composed of UL symbols. A special slot may be a slot composed of UL symbols, flexible symbols, and DL symbols. A DL slot may be a slot composed of DL symbols.

[0229] The UL symbol may be an OFDM symbol set or indicated for the uplink in time-division duplexing. The UL symbol may be an OFDM symbol set or indicated for PUSCH, or PUCCH, PRACH, or SRS. The UL symbol may be provided by the upper layer parameter tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon. The UL symbol may be provided by the upper layer parameter tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated. The UL slot may be provided by the upper layer parameter tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon. The UL slot may be provided by the upper layer parameter tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated.

The period may be the period given by the higher-level parameter dl-UL-TransmissionPeriodicity. The flexible symbol may be an OFDM symbol set or indicated for PDSCH, PDCCH, PUSCH, PUCCH, or PRACH.

[0232] The upper-level parameter tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon may be a parameter that sets one or more slots to either an UL slot, a DL slot, or a special slot. The upper-level parameter tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated may be a parameter that sets one or more flexible symbols in each of the one or more slots to either an UL symbol, a DL symbol, or a flexible symbol. tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon may be a common upper-level parameter. tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated may be a dedicated upper-level parameter.

[0233] Base station device 3 may send a terminal capability request to terminal device 1. Terminal device 1 may send one or more terminal capability information to base station device 3. Terminal capability information may include one or more terminal capabilities. RRC messages may include terminal capability information. Base station device 3 may receive RRC messages. Base station device 3 may receive RRC messages that include higher layer parameters. If terminal capability information is to be sent, terminal device 1 may send an RRC message to base station device 3.

[0234] Terminal device 1 may be configured with a list of up to M TCI state settings. The TCI state settings may be in PDSCH-Config. PDSCH-Config may be a setting for decoding the PDSCH. M may depend on maxNumberConfiguredTCIstatesPerCC. Each TCI state may include parameters for setting QCL. QCL may be a relationship between one or two downlink reference signals and the DMRS port of the PDSCH. QCL may be a relationship between one or two downlink reference signals and the DMRS port of the PDCCH. QCL may be a relationship between one or two downlink reference signals and the CSI-RS port of a CSI-RS resource. The QCL relationship may be set by the upper layer parameter qcl-Type1 for the first downlink reference signal. If set, the QCL relationship may be set by the upper layer parameter qcl-Type2 for the second downlink reference signal. QCL may be a QCL relationship. In the case of two downlink reference signals, the QCLtype may not be the same regardless of whether the reference signals are from the same downlink or different downlinks. The QCL type corresponding to the reference signal of each downlink may be given by qcl-type in the upper layer parameter QCL-Info. For example, the value of qcl-type may be any of {typeA, typeB, typeC, typeD}. typeA may represent {Doppler shift, Doppler spread, average delay, delay spread}. typeB may represent {Doppler shift, Doppler spread}. typeC may represent {Doppler shift, average delay}. typeD may represent {spatial Rx filter}. QCLtype may also be a value set by the upper layer parameter qcl-Type. QCLtype may also be a value set by the upper layer parameter qcl-Type.

[0235] Terminal device 1 may be configured with a list of up to 128 TCI state settings. The TCI state settings may also be in dlOrJointTCI-StateList within the upper-layer parameter PDSCH-Config. For example, the TCI state settings may be for providing a reference signal for QCL for DMRS of PDSCH. For example, the TCI state settings may be for providing a reference signal for QCL for DMRS of PDCCH. For example, the TCI state settings may be for providing a reference signal for QCL for DMRS of PDSCH. For example, the TCI state settings may be for providing a reference signal for QCL for CSI-RS. For example, the TCI state settings may be for providing a reference signal for determining the UL TX spatial filter (uplink transmit space filter). The UL TX spatial filter may be for PUSCH and PUCCH resources and SRS.

[0236] The TCI state may also refer to the higher-level parameter TCI-state.

[0237] If the TCI-state or TCI-UL-state setting is not within the BWP containing its component carrier, terminal device 1 may apply the TCI-state or TCI-UL-state setting of a reference BWP containing a reference component carrier set by unifiedTCI-stateRef. If terminal device 1 is configured with dl-OrJoingtTCI-StateList or ul-TCI-StateList, terminal device 1 does not need to expect to be configured with tci-StatesToAddModList or SpatialRelationInfo or PUCCH-SpatialRelationInfo. When terminal device 1 is configured by tci-StatesToAddModList of any component carrier in the component carrier list set by simultaneousTCI-UpdateList1-r16, simultaneousTCI-UpdateList2-r16, simultaneousSpatial-UpdatedList1-r16, or simultaneousSpatial-UpdatedList2-r16, it may be assumed that it is not configured by dl-OrJointTCI-StateList or ul-TCI-StateList within that component carrier list.

[0238] Terminal device 1 may receive an activation command. Receiving an activation command may also mean receiving a MAC CE. An activation command may be used to map up to eight TCI states or up to eight pairs of TCI states to code points in a DCI field. For example, the DCI field may be a Transmission Configuration Indication. One TCI state may be for one downlink physical channel. One TCI state may be for one uplink physical channel. An activation command may be used to map up to eight sets of TCI states to code points in a DCI field. For example, each set of TCI states may consist of up to two downlink and uplink TCI states. Each set of TCI states may consist of up to two downlink and uplink TCI states.

[0239] When the upper-level parameter tci-PresentInDCI is set, or tci-PresentDCI-1-2 is set for CORESET, terminal device 1 configured with dl-OrJointTCI-StateList having an activated TCI-state or ul-TCI-StateList having an activated TCI-UL-State may receive DCI format 1_1 / 1_2 / 1_3 providing the indicated TCI state. If applicable, DCI format 1_1 / 1_2 may have downlink assignments. If applicable, DCI format 1_1 / 1_2 may not have downlink assignments. If DCI format 1_1 / 1_2 does not have downlink assignments, terminal device 1 may assume certain conditions. For example, certain conditions may include the use of CS-RNTI to scramble the CRC for DCI. It may assume that all RVs in the DCI field are 1. It may assume that all MCSs in the DCI field are 1. It may assume that the NDI in the DCI field is 0. You can assume that all FDRA values ​​in the DCI field are 0.

[0240] When terminal device 1 receives an initial upper layer configuration dl-OrJointTCI-StateList having one or more TCI-states, and before the application of the instructed TCI state from the configured TCI state, terminal device 1 applies the instructed TCI state to the PDSCH DMRS, PDCCH DMRS and CSI-RS, which may be the SS / PBCH block and QCL recognized by the UE during the initial access.

[0241] When terminal device 1 receives an initial upper-layer configuration dl-OrJointTCI-StateList with one or more TCI-states, or an initial upper-layer configuration ul-TCI-StateList with one or more TCI-UL-States, and before the application of the TCI states indicated by the configured TCI states, terminal device 1 may assume that a PUSCH transmission with a UL TX spatial filter is the same as a PUSCH transmission. For example, a PUSCH transmission may be a PUSCH transmission scheduled by a RAR UL grant. For example, a PUSCH transmission may be a MsgA PUSCH transmission.

[0242] When terminal device 1 receives a higher-layer configuration dl-OrJointTCI-StateList having one TCI-state, that TCI-state may be used as the instructed TCI state. When terminal device 1 receives a higher-layer configuration dl-OrJointTCI-StateList having one TCI-state, terminal device 1 may obtain a QCL assumption from the configured TCI state.

[0243] When terminal device 1 receives a higher-layer configuration ul-TCI-StateList having one TCI-UL-state, that TCI-state may be used as the instructed TCI state.

[0244] If the indicated TCI state differs from a previously indicated TCI state, either or both of the indicated TCI-state and TCI-UL-State may be applied starting from a slot. This slot may be the first slot after the last symbol of PUSCH or PUCCH and at least after the beamAppTime symbol.

[0245] When terminal device 1 is configured with dl-OrJointTCI-StateList, and terminal device 1 is configured with unifiedTCI-StateType as `separate`, and terminal device 1 receives a TCI code point to which either {TCI-State or TCI-UL-State} is mapped, terminal device 1 may update one of the indicated {TCI-State or TCI-UL-State}. For example, terminal device 1 may maintain the other {TCI-State or TCI-UL-State} that is not updated by the received TCI code point.

[0246] When terminal device 1 is configured with dl-OrJointTCI-StateList and has two specified TCI-states, if terminal device 1 receives a TCI code point to which a subset of the first and second TCI-States and one or both subsets of the first and second TCI-UL-States are mapped, terminal device 1 may update either the first or second TCI-State mapped to that TCI code point, and either the first or second TCI-UL-State. Terminal device 1 may maintain a previously specified TCI state that is not updated by the TCI code point. A TCI state may be a TCI-State. For example, a TCI state may be the first and second TCI-States. A TCI state may be a TCI-UL-State. For example, a TCI state may be the first and second TCI-UL-States.

[0247] If terminal device 1 is configured with SSB-MTC-AdditionalPCI and is configured with PDCCH-Config which includes different coresetPoolIndex values ​​in the ControlResourceSet, terminal device 1 may receive an activation command. The activation command may be for a CORESET associated with each coresetPoolIndex. When a set of TCI state IDs is activated for a coresetPoolIndex, the activated TCI state corresponding to one coresetPoolIndex may be associated with a serving cell physical cell ID. In that case, the activated TCI state corresponding to another coresetPoolIndex may be associated with another physical cell ID. The physical cell ID may be a PCI.

[0248] Terminal device 1 may receive an activation command when it indicates two TCI states in the code point of the DCI field 'Transmission Configuration Indication'. The activation command may be used to map up to eight combinations of one or two TCI states to that code point. Terminal device 1 is not expected to receive more than eight TCI states in the activation command.

[0249] When the DCI field 'Transmission Configuration Indication' exists in DCI format 1_2, and the number of code points S in the DCI field 'Transmission Configuration Indication' is less than the number of TCI code points activated by the activation command, only the first S code points that are activated may be applied to DCI format 1_2.

[0250] Terminal device 1 may be configured with the upper-layer parameter tci-PresentInDCI. tci-PresentInDCI may be set to enable for CORESET to schedule the PDSCH. In that case, terminal device 1 may assume that the TCI field exists in the DCI format 1_1 or 1_3 of the PDCCH transmitted over CORESET.

[0251] Terminal device 1 may be configured with the upper-layer parameter tci-PresentInDCI-1-2 for CORESET to schedule PDSCH. In that case, terminal device 1 may assume that a TCI field exists in the DCI format 1_2 of the PDCCH transmitted over CORESET. The size of that TCI field may be indicated by tci-PresentInDCI-1-2.

[0252] Terminal device 1 may be configured with both sfnSchemePDCCH and sfnSchemePDSCH. The offset time between the reception of the downlink DCI and the reception of the corresponding PDSCH may be greater than or equal to the threshold timeDuraionForQCL. Terminal device 1 may support sfn-DefaultDL-BeamSetup-r17 for DCIs scheduled without a TCI field. In that case, terminal device 1 may assume that the TCI state or QCL assumption for the PDSCH matches the TCI state or QCL assumption applied for the CORESET used for receiving downlink DCIs in the serving cell's active BWP, regardless of the number of active TCIs in the CORESET. If terminal device 1 does not instruct SchemeA-DynamicSwitching-r17 or sfn-SchemeB-DynamicSwitching-r17, terminal device 1 may be activated with two TCI states in its CORESET.

[0253] Terminal device 1 may be configured with both sfnSchemePDCCH and sfnSchemePDSCH. The offset time between receiving the downlink DCI and receiving the corresponding PDSCH may be greater than or equal to the threshold timeDuraionForQCL. Terminal device 1 does not need to support sfn-DefaultDL-BeamSetup-r17 for DCI scheduled without a TCI field. In that case, when scheduled with DCI format 1_1 or 1_2, terminal device 1 does not need to expect the TCI field to be present.

[0254] If terminal device 1 is not configured in both sfnSchemePDCCH and sfnSchemePDSCH, and is scheduled in DCI format 1_1 or 1_2, and the offset time between the reception of the downlink DCI and the reception of the corresponding PDSCH is greater than or equal to the threshold timeDuraionForQCL, terminal device 1 may expect the TCI field to exist.

[0255] Terminal device 1 may set sfnSchemePDCCH to 'sfnschemeA'. In that case, terminal device 1 does not need to set sfnSchemePDSCH. In that case, there does not need to be a TCI code point with two TCI states in the activation command for the PDSCH. If the offset time between the reception of the downlink DCI and the reception of the corresponding PDSCH is greater than or equal to the threshold timeDuraionForQCL, and the CORESET that schedules the PDSCH is indicated with two TCI states, terminal device 1 may assume that the TCI state or QCL assumption for the PDSCH is the same as the first TCI state or QCL assumption applied for the CORESET used to transmit the PDCCH.

[0256] If PDSCH is scheduled by DCI format 1_0 / 1_1 / 1_2, and SFN method A is set for PDCCH, and SFN is not set for PDSCH, and there are no TCI code points (code points in the TCI field) with two TCI states, and the time offset is greater than or equal to a threshold, and the CORESET that schedules PDSCH is indicated by two TCI states, then the TCI state or QCL assumption for PDSCH may be the same as the first TCI state and first QCL assumption applied for CORESET. Setting SFN method A for PDCCH may mean setting sfnSchemePdcch with 'sfnSchemeA' set.

[0257] If a unifiedTCI state is not set, and the time offset is less than a threshold, and at least one set TCI state includes a qcl-Type with typeD set, the DMRS port of the PDSCH may be RS and QCL for a certain QCL parameter. A certain QCL parameter may be used for PDCCH QCL indication of a certain CORESET. A certain CORESET may be a CORESET associated with the search area with the lowest CORESET ID (controlResourceSetId) among the CORESETs monitored by terminal device 1 in the latest slot.

[0258] If a unifiedTCI state is set, and the time offset is less than the threshold, and at least one set TCI state includes a qcl-Type with typeD set, and the indicated TCI state is related to the PCI (Physical Cell ID) of the serving cell, then the indicated TCI state may be applied to PDSCH reception. If a unifiedTCI state is set, and the time offset is less than the threshold, and at least one set TCI state includes a qcl-Type with typeD set, and the indicated TCI state is related to a PCI (Physical Cell ID) other than that of the serving cell, then the DMRS port of the PDSCH in the serving cell may be a reference signal and QCL related to the QCL parameter of the CORESET associated with the lowest CORESET ID. Setting a unifiedTCI state may also mean setting the upper layer parameter dl-OrJointTCI-StateList.

[0259] If a first terminal capability is specified for terminal device 1, terminal device 1 may determine a spatial domain filter. The spatial domain filter may be used while performing applicable channel access procedures before UL transmission on the channel. If an SRI corresponding to UL transmission is specified, terminal device 1 may use the same spatial domain filter as the spatial domain filter associated with the specified SRI. Terminal device 1 may use the same spatial domain filter as the spatial domain filter used to receive the DL reference signal associated with the specified TCI state. For example, if a TCI-State or TCI-UL-State is set, terminal device 1 may use the same spatial domain filter as the spatial domain filter used to receive the DL reference signal associated with the specified TCI state. The first terminal capability may be beamCorrespondenceWithoutUL-BeamSweeping, which is set to '1'.

[0260] When SFN method A is set for PDCCH and CORESET is activated in two TCI states, the DMRS port of PDCCH in CORESET may be DL RS (downlink reference signal) and QCL in the two TCI states. When SFN method B is set for PDCCH and CORESET is activated in two TCI states, the DMRS port of PDCCH in CORESET may be DL RS and QCL in the two TCI states, and the second TCI state does not have to include the QCL parameters {Doppler shift, Doppler spread}. Setting SFN method A for PDCCH may mean setting sfnSchemePdcch with 'sfnSchemeA' set. Setting SFN method B for PDCCH may mean setting sfnSchemePdcch with 'sfnSchemeB' set.

[0261] Regardless of the settings of tci-PresentInDCI and tci-PresentDCI-1-2 in RRC connected mode, if dl-OrJointTCI-StateList-r17 is not provided to terminal device 1, and the offset between receiving the downlink DCI corresponding to the PDSCH is less than timeDurationForQCL, then at least one configured TCI state may include a qcl-Type set to 'typeD'. In that case, terminal device 1 may assume that the DMRS port of the PDSCH is the RS and QCL used for the PDCCH. The PDCCH may be based on the lowest controlResourceSetId in the latest slot among one or more CORESETs in the active BWP of the serving cell monitored by terminal device 1, the CORESET associated with the monitored search space, and the QCL instruction of the CORESET associated with that CORESET.

[0262] Terminal device 1 may be configured with enableDefaultTCI-StatePerCoresetPoolIndex. Terminal device 1 may also be configured with the higher-level parameter PDCCH-Config. PDCCH-Config may contain two different coresetPoolIndex values ​​in different ControlResourceSets. In that case, terminal device 1 may assume that the DMRS port of the PDSCH associated with the coresetPoolIndex value of the serving cell is the RS and QCL used for the PDCCH. That PDCCH may be the PDCCH that schedules the PDSCH in the active BWP of the serving cell monitored by terminal device 1, and may be based on the lowest controlResourceSetId among the CORESETs and the QCL instruction of the CORESET associated with the monitored search space.

[0263] Terminal device 1 may be configured with enableTwoDefaultTCI-States. In this case, at least one TCI code point may represent two TCI states. Terminal device 1 may assume that the PDSCH transmission opportunity of the PDSCH DMRS port or serving cell is an RS and QCL state associated with the TCI state corresponding to the lowest code point among two different TCI states in a TCI code point.

[0264] Terminal device 1 may be configured with the upper-layer parameter repetitionScheme. repetitionScheme may also be set with tdmSchemeA. In that case, or when configured with the upper-layer parameter repetitionNumber, and when the offset between the first PDSCH transmitter and the reception of the downlink DCI is less than the threshold timeDurationForQCL, the mapping of the TCI state to the PDSCH transmitter opportunity may be determined by a certain method.

[0265] If the TCI states set for the serving cell of a scheduled PDSCH are not all set to type-D, terminal device 1 may obtain other QCL assumptions from the instructed TCI states for that scheduled PDSCH.

[0266] Regardless of the settings of tci-PresentInDCI and tci-PresentDCI-1-2 in RRC connected mode, terminal device 1 may be given dl-OrJointTCI-StateList-r17. In that case, if the offset between the DCI of the downlink and the corresponding PDSCH is smaller than timeDurationForQCL, regardless of the setting of followUnifiedTCI-State, it may include qcl-Type in which at least one set TCI state is set to typeD. In this case, if the indicated TCI state is associated with the PCI of that serving cell, the indicated TCI state may be applied to the reception of the PDSCH.

[0267] Regardless of the settings of tci-PresentInDCI and tci-PresentDCI-1-2 in RRC connected mode, terminal device 1 may be given dl-OrJointTCI-StateList-r17. In that case, if the offset between the DCI of the downlink and the corresponding PDSCH is less than timeDurationForQCL, regardless of the setting of followUnifiedTCI-State, it may include qcl-Type in which at least one set TCI state is set to typeD. In this case, if the indicated TCI state is associated with the PCI of a different serving cell, terminal device 1 may assume that the DMRS port of a PDSCH of a serving cell is in the RS and QCL state used for the PDCCH. That PDCCH may be based on the lowest controlResourceSetId in the latest slot among one or more CORESETs in the active BWP of the serving cell monitored by terminal device 1, and the CORESET indication associated with the monitored search space. In the case of CA, if the 'QCL-TypeD' of the DMRS of the PDSCH for each component carrier within a band is different, the assumption of the 'QCL-TypeD' of the DMRS of the component carrier's PDSCH for the lowest ID component carrier within that band may apply to all PDSCH DMRS of that component carrier in that band.

[0268] Terminal device 1 may hold the specified terminal capability beamCorrespondenceWithoutUL-BeamSweeping. beamCorrespondenceWithoutUL-BeamSweeping may be set to 'supported'. In that case, terminal device 1 may determine the spatial filter to be used during the channel access procedure before an uplink transmission. Terminal device 1 may be specified by SRI. If terminal device 1 is specified by SRI corresponding to an uplink transmission, it may use the same spatial filter as the spatial filter associated with the specified SRI. Terminal device 1 may be configured with SRS-spatialRelationInfo for uplink transmissions. In that case, terminal device 1 may use the same spatial filter as the spatial filter associated with referenceSignal in the corresponding SRS-spatialRelationInfo. Terminal device 1 may be configured with TCI-state in dl-OrJointTCI-StateList or TCI-UL-State in ul-TCI-StateList. In that case, terminal device 1 may use a spatial filter. A spatial filter may be the same as the receiving spatial filter used to receive the downlink reference signal associated with the specified TCI state.

[0269] The reception of a PDCCH may include two PDCCHs from two separate search spaces. In this case, a PDCCH candidate that terminates later in time may be used for the purpose of determining the time offset between the reception of the corresponding PDSCH and the downlink DCI. The reception of a PDCCH may include two PDCCH candidates from two separate search spaces. In this case, for the setting of tci-PresentInDCI or tci-PresentDCI-1-2, terminal device 1 may expect the same setting in the first and second CORESETs associated with the two PDCCH candidates. A PDSCH may be scheduled in a DCI format that does not have a TCI field. In this case, and if the scheduling offset is greater than or equal to timeDurationForQCL, the QCL assumption of the PDSCH may be determined based on the CORESET with the lowest ID among the first and second CORESETs associated with the two PDCCH candidates.

[0270] CSI-RS resources in NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet may be set periodically. In the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet set by the upper layer parameter trs-Info, terminal device 1 may expect a certain TCI-state to indicate a certain QCLtype for periodic CSI-RS resources. A certain QCLtype may be SSB and type C. A certain QCLtype may be the same SSB and type D. An SSB may have a PCI different from the PCI of its serving cell. Terminal device 1 may assume that an SSB with a different PCI of its serving cell has the same center frequency, subcarrier spacing, and SFN offset as the SSB of its serving cell. A certain QCLtype may be a CSI-RS resource in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet set by the upper layer parameter repetition and type D. An SSB may have a PCI different from the PCI of its serving cell. Terminal device 1 may assume that the SSB with a different PCI from the serving cell and the serving SSB have the same center frequency, subcarrier spacing, and SFN offset.

[0271] CSI-RS may be set to be periodic or semi-persistent. If terminal device 1 is configured with dl-OrJointTCI-StateList for periodic or semi-periodic CSI-RS, terminal device 1 may assume that the specified TCI-state will not be applied.

[0272] The CSI-RS resources in NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet may be configured aperiodicly. The NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet may be configured using the higher-layer parameter trs-Info. For aperiodic CSI-RS resources in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet configured by the higher-layer parameter trs-Info, terminal device 1 may expect the TCI-state to indicate a periodic CSI-RS resource in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet and qcl-Type 'typeA'. For aperiodic CSI-RS resources in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet configured by the higher-layer parameter trs-Info, terminal device 1 may expect the TCI-state to indicate a periodic CSI-RS resource in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet and qcl-Type 'typeD'.

[0273] For CSI-RS resources in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet that are not set by the upper-level parameter trs-Info and are not set by the upper-level parameter repetition, terminal device 1 may expect TCI-state to indicate a certain QCLtype. This certain QCLtype may be typeA of the CSI-RS resource in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet that is set by the upper-level parameter trs-Info. For example, it may be typeD of the same CSI-RS resource.

[0274] For CSI-RS resources in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet that are not set by the upper-layer parameter trs-Info and are not set by the upper-layer parameter repetition, terminal device 1 may expect TCI-state to indicate a certain QCLtype. This certain QCLtype may be a CSI-RS resource in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet set by the upper-layer parameter trs-Info and type A. For example, it may be an SSB and type D. That SSB may have a different PCI than its serving cell. Terminal device 1 may assume that the center frequency, SFN offset, and subcarrier spacing are the same for the SSB with a different PCI than the serving cell and the SSB of the serving cell.

[0275] For CSI-RS resources in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet that are not set by the upper-layer parameter trs-Info and are not set by the upper-layer parameter repetition, terminal device 1 may expect TCI-state to indicate a certain QCLtype. This certain QCLtype may be typeA for a CSI-RS resource in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet that is set by the upper-layer parameter trs-Info. For example, it may be typeD for a CSI-RS resource in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet that is set by the upper-layer parameter repetition.

[0276] For CSI-RS resources in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet that are not set by the upper-level parameter trs-Info and are not set by the upper-level parameter repetition, terminal device 1 may expect TCI-state to indicate a certain QCLtype. This certain QCLtype may be a CSI-RS resource in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet that is set by the upper-level parameter trs-Info and type B when type D is not applicable.

[0277] For a CSI-RS resource in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet set by the higher-layer parameter repetition, terminal device 1 may expect TCI-state to indicate a QCLtype. A certain QCLtype may be type A of a CSI-RS resource in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet set by the higher-layer parameter trs-Info. For example, it may also be type D of a similar CSI-RS resource.

[0278] For the CSI-RS resources in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet set by the higher-layer parameter repetition, terminal device 1 may expect TCI-state to indicate a QCLtype. A certain QCLtype may be type A of the CSI-RS resources in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet set by the higher-layer parameter trs-Info. For example, it may also be type D of the CSI-RS resources in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet set by the higher-layer parameter repetition.

[0279] For the CSI-RS resources in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet set by the upper-layer parameter repetition, terminal device 1 may expect the TCI-state to indicate a QCLtype. A certain QCLtype may be SSB and type C. For example, it may also be a similar SSB and type D, and its reference signal may be an SSB with a different PCI than that of its serving cell. Terminal device 1 may assume that an SSB with a different PCI than that of the serving cell has the same center frequency, subcarrier spacing, and SFN offset as the serving cell's SSB.

[0280] For PDCCH's DMRS, if terminal device 1 is not configured with dl-OrJointTCI-StateList, terminal device 1 may be expected to indicate a QCLtype in which the TCI-state is. A certain QCLtype may be a CSI-RS resource in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet configured by the higher-layer parameter trs-Info that is type A.

[0282] For PDCCH's DMRS, if terminal device 1 is not configured with dl-OrJointTCI-StateList, terminal device 1 may be expected to indicate a QCLtype in which the TCI-state is. A certain QCLtype may be a CSI-RS resource in NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet that is type A, which is not configured with the upper-level parameter trs-Info and is not configured with the upper-level parameter repetition. For example, it may also be a similar CSI-RS resource that is type D.

[0283] If terminal device 1 is configured with sfnSchemePdcch set with 'sfnschemeA' and CORESET is activated with two TCI states, terminal device 1 may assume that the DMRS port of its CORESET PDCCH is the downlink reference signal and QCL for the two TCI states. If terminal device 1 is configured with sfnSchemePdcch set with 'sfnschemeB' and CORESET is activated with two TCI states, terminal device 1 may assume that the DMRS port of its PDCCH is the downlink reference signal and QCL for the two TCI states excluding the second specified TCI state {Doppler shift, delay spread}.

[0284] Terminal device 1 may be configured with the upper-layer parameter cjtScheme. Terminal device 1 may also be configured with the upper-layer parameter d dl-OrJointTCI-StateList. Terminal device 1 may report terminal capability A. This terminal capability may be the capability to support two joint TCI states for PDSCH-CJT. This terminal capability may be [support for two joint TCI states for PDSCH-CJT].

[0285] When terminal device 1 is configured with the upper layer parameters cjtScheme and dl-OrJointTCI-StateList, and two TCI states applicable for PDSCH reception are indicated, and terminal capability A is reported, if the terminal is configured with cjtSchemeA, the DMRS port of the PDSCH may be assumed to be QCL with respect to the downlink reference signals of both indicated TCI states and QCL-TypeA.

[0289] For PDSCH's DMRS, if terminal device 1 is not configured with dl-OrJointTCI-StateList, terminal device 1 may be expected to indicate a QCLtype with a TCI-State.
