- the user terminal can replace the cell set indicated by the A-CSI trigger values “10” and “11” based on the serving cell that has received the A-CSI transmission instruction information. For example, it is assumed that the user terminal receives a UL grant including an A-CSI trigger in a cell (here, CC1) belonging to the first set. In this case, if the value of the A-CSI trigger is “10”, it is interpreted as a CSI transmission instruction of the serving cell set of the first set (CC # 1- # 4) (see FIGS. 6 and 7A). .

As a result, the flexibility of A-CSI reporting can be ensured even when the number of CCs (number of serving cells) that can be set per user terminal is expanded to 6 or more.
- the A-CSI trigger value “10” may be defined in the same manner as the existing one.
- the user terminal transmits the A-CSI of the serving cell that transmitted the UL grant including the A-CSI trigger.
