Description

ユーザ端末及び無線通信方法User terminal and wireless communication method
 本開示は、次世代移動通信システムにおけるユーザ端末及び無線通信方法に関する。 The present disclosure relates to a user terminal and a wireless communication method in a next-generation mobile communication system.
 UMTS(Universal Mobile Telecommunications System)ネットワークにおいて、更なる高速データレート、低遅延などを目的としてロングタームエボリューション(LTE:Long Term Evolution)が仕様化された(非特許文献1)。また、LTE(LTE Rel.8、9)の更なる大容量、高度化などを目的として、LTE-A(LTEアドバンスト、LTE Rel.10、11、12、13)が仕様化された。 In a UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) network, long term evolution (LTE: Long Term Evolution) has been specified for the purpose of higher data rates and lower delays (Non-Patent Document 1). Also, LTE-A (LTE Advanced, LTE @ Rel. 10, 11, 12, 13) has been specified for the purpose of further increasing the capacity and sophistication of LTE (LTE @ Rel. 8, 9).
 LTEの後継システム(例えば、FRA(Future Radio Access)、5G(5th generation mobile communication system)、5G+(plus)、NR(New Radio)、NX(New radio access)、FX(Future generation radio access)、LTE Rel.14又は15以降などともいう)も検討されている。 Succession system of LTE (for example, FRA (Future Radio Access), 5G (5th generation mobile communication system), 5G + (plus), NR (New Radio), NX (New radio access), FX (Future generation radio access), LTE Rel. 14 or 15 or later) are also being studied.
 既存のLTEシステム(例えば、LTE Rel.8-13)において、ユーザ端末(UE:User Equipment)は、同期信号(SS:Synchronization Signal)を検出し、ネットワーク(例えば、基地局(eNB:eNode B))との同期をとるとともに、接続するセルを識別する(例えば、セルID(Identifier)によって識別する)。このような処理はセルサーチとも呼ばれる。同期信号は、例えば、PSS(Primary Synchronization Signal)及び/又はSSS(Secondary Synchronization Signal)を含む。 In an existing LTE system (for example, LTE@Rel.8-13), a user terminal (UE: User @ Equipment) detects a synchronization signal (SS: Synchronization @ Signal) and a network (for example, a base station (eNB: eNode @ B)). ) And identify the cell to be connected (for example, by cell ID (Identifier)). Such a process is also called a cell search. The synchronization signal includes, for example, PSS (Primary @ Synchronization @ Signal) and / or SSS (Secondary @ Synchronization @ Signal).
 また、UEは、ブロードキャスト情報(例えば、マスタ情報ブロック(MIB:Master Information Block)、システム情報ブロック(SIB:System Information Block)など)を受信して、ネットワークとの通信のための設定情報(システム情報などと呼ばれてもよい)を取得する。 Further, the UE receives broadcast information (for example, a master information block (MIB: Master Information Block), a system information block (SIB: System Information Block), etc.), and sets information (system information) for communication with the network. May be called).
 MIBは、ブロードキャストチャネル(PBCH:Physical Broadcast Channel)で送信されてもよいし、SIBは、下りリンク(DL)共有チャネル(PDSCH:Physical Downlink Shared Channel)で送信されてもよい。 The MIB may be transmitted on a broadcast channel (PBCH: Physical Broadcast Channel), and the SIB may be transmitted on a downlink (DL) shared channel (PDSCH: Physical Downlink Shared Channel).
 将来の無線通信システム(例えば、3GPP Rel.15以降、NR、5G、5G+等ともいう)では、同期信号ブロック(SSB:Synchronization Signal Block)を用いた測定が利用される。 In a future wireless communication system (for example, 3GPP Rel. 15 or later, also referred to as NR, 5G, 5G +, etc.), measurement using a synchronization signal block (SSB: Synchronization Signal Block) is used.
 SSBを用いた測定では、例えば、同期信号の受信電力(例えば、SS-RSRP:Synchronization signal reference signal received power)及び受信信号強度(例えば、RSSI::Received Signal Strength Indicator)に基づいて、同期信号の受信品質(例えば、SS-RSRQ:Synchronization signal reference signal received quality)を決定することが想定される。 In the measurement using the SSB, for example, based on the received power (for example, SS-RSRP: Synchronization signal reference signal received received power) and received signal strength (for example, RSSI: Received Signal Strength Indicator) of the synchronization signal, It is envisaged to determine the reception quality (eg SS-RSRQ: Synchronization signal reference signal signal received quality).
 また、SSBを送信しないキャリア(例えば、Component Carrier:CC)をサポートすることが検討されている。しかしながら、測定信号が送信されないキャリアにおける受信品質が適切に得られない場合、システムの性能が劣化するおそれがある。 Also, support for carriers that do not transmit SSB (for example, Component Carrier: CC) is being considered. However, if the reception quality of the carrier to which the measurement signal is not transmitted cannot be properly obtained, the performance of the system may be deteriorated.
 そこで、本開示は、測定信号が送信されないキャリアにおける受信品質を適切に取得するユーザ端末及び無線通信方法を提供することを目的の1つとする。 Therefore, an object of the present disclosure is to provide a user terminal and a wireless communication method that appropriately acquire reception quality in a carrier to which a measurement signal is not transmitted.
 本開示の一態様に係るユーザ端末は、1つのバンド内の第1コンポーネントキャリア(CC)において測定信号を受信する受信部と、前記第1CCにおいて前記測定信号の受信電力の測定を設定され、且つ前記バンド内の第2CCにおいて前記測定信号が送信されない場合、前記第2CCにおける受信強度及び受信品質の少なくとも1つの測定を設定される制御部と、を有することを特徴とする。 A user terminal according to one aspect of the present disclosure is configured to: a receiving unit that receives a measurement signal on a first component carrier (CC) in one band, and set a measurement of reception power of the measurement signal in the first CC; A control unit configured to set at least one measurement of reception strength and reception quality in the second CC when the measurement signal is not transmitted in the second CC in the band.
 本開示の一態様によれば、測定信号が送信されないキャリアにおける受信強度及び受信品質の少なくとも1つを適切に取得できる。 According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, it is possible to appropriately acquire at least one of the reception strength and the reception quality of a carrier to which a measurement signal is not transmitted.

<測定>
 将来の無線通信システム(例えば、3GPP Rel.15以降、NR、5G、5G+等ともいう)では、以下の測定(メジャメント)が検討されている:
 (1)メジャメントギャップ(MG:Measurement Gap)不要の周波数内メジャメント(Intra-frequency measurement without MG)、
 (2)MG要の周波数内メジャメント(Intra-frequency measurement with MG)、
 (3)周波数間メジャメント(Inter-frequency measurement)。
<Measurement>
In future wireless communication systems (eg, 3GPP Rel. 15 or later, also referred to as NR, 5G, 5G +, etc.), the following measurements are being considered:
(1) Intra-frequency measurement without MG (MG: Measurement Gap) unnecessary,
(2) Intra-frequency measurement with MG required for MG,
(3) Inter-frequency measurement.
 上記(1)のMG不要の周波数内メジャメントは、RFリチューニングを必要としない同周波測定とも呼ばれる。上記(2)のMG要の周波数内メジャメントは、RFリチューニングを必要とする同周波測定とも呼ばれる。例えば、アクティブBWP(BandWidth Part)の帯域内に測定対象信号が含まれない場合、同周波測定でもRFリチューニングが必要なので、上記(2)の測定となる。 内 The above-mentioned (1) in-frequency measurement that does not require MG is also called in-frequency measurement that does not require RF retuning. The above-described (2) in-frequency measurement that requires MG is also called in-frequency measurement that requires RF retuning. For example, when the signal to be measured is not included in the band of the active BWP (BandWidth @ Part), RF retuning is necessary even in the same frequency measurement, and thus the measurement of (2) is performed.
 メジャメントギャップ(MG:Measurement Gap)において、ユーザ端末は、使用周波数(RF:Radio Frequency)をサービングキャリアから非サービングキャリアに切り替え(リチューニングし)、参照信号などを用いて測定した後、使用周波数を非サービングキャリアからサービングキャリアに切り替える。 In the measurement gap (MG: Measurement @ Gap), the user terminal switches (retunes) the used frequency (RF: Radio @ Frequency) from the serving carrier to the non-serving carrier, measures using a reference signal or the like, and then measures the used frequency. Switch from non-serving carrier to serving carrier.
 ここで、BWPは、NRに設定されるコンポーネントキャリア(CC:Component Carrier、キャリア、セル、NRキャリア)内の、1つ以上の部分的な周波数帯域に該当する。BWPは、部分周波数帯域、部分帯域などと呼ばれてもよい。BWPは、下りBWP(DL BWP)及び上りBWP(UL BWP)の少なくとも一つを含んでもよい。 Here, BWP corresponds to one or more partial frequency bands in a component carrier (CC: Component Carrier, carrier, cell, NR carrier) set to NR. BWP may be called a partial frequency band, a partial band, or the like. The BWP may include at least one of a downlink BWP (DL @ BWP) and an uplink BWP (UL @ BWP).
 上記(3)の周波数間メジャメントは、異周波測定とも呼ばれる。当該異周波測定は、MGを使うことを想定する。しかしながら、UEがギャップなし測定(gap less measurement)のUE能力(UE capability)を基地局(例えば、BS(Base Station)、送受信ポイント(TRP:Transmission/Reception Point)、eNB(eNodeB)、gNB(NR NodeB)などと呼ばれてもよい)に報告する場合には、MGなしの異周波測定が可能である。 間 The inter-frequency measurement of the above (3) is also called a different frequency measurement. It is assumed that the different frequency measurement uses MG. However, the UE sets the UE capability (UE capability) of the gapless measurement (gapless measurement) to a base station (for example, a BS (Base Station), a transmission / reception point (TRP: Transmission / Reception Point), an eNB (eNodeB), and a gNB (NR). NodeB) or the like), it is possible to perform different frequency measurement without MG.
 NRにおいて、MGを使って同周波キャリア又は異周波キャリアを測定している間は、RFを切り替えているためサービングセルでの送受信ができない。 In 同 NR, while measuring the same frequency carrier or different frequency carrier using MG, transmission and reception in the serving cell cannot be performed because RF is switched.
 LTE、NRなどにおいて、同周波測定及び異周波測定の少なくとも1つに関して、非サービングキャリアの参照信号受信電力(RSRP:Reference Signal Received Power)、受信信号強度(RSSI:Received Signal Strength Indicator)及び参照信号受信品質(RSRQ:Reference Signal Received Quality)、SINR(Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio)、の少なくとも1つが測定されてもよい。 In at least one of the same-frequency measurement and the different-frequency measurement in LTE, NR, and the like, a reference signal reception power (RSRP: Reference Signal Received Power), a received signal strength (RSSI: Received Signal Strength Indicator) of the non-serving carrier, and a reference signal At least one of reception quality (RSRQ: Reference Signal Received Quality) and SINR (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio) may be measured.
 ここで、RSRPは、所望信号の受信電力であり、例えば、セル固有参照信号(CRS:Cell-specific Reference Signal)、チャネル状態情報参照信号(CSI-RS:Channel State Information-Reference Signal)などの少なくとも1つを用いて測定される。RSSIは、所望信号の受信電力と、干渉及び雑音電力とを含む合計の受信電力である。RSRQは、RSSIに対するRSRPの比である。 Here, RSRP is the received power of the desired signal, and is at least a cell-specific reference signal (CRS: Cell-specific Reference Signal), a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS: Channel State Information-Reference Signal), or the like. Measured using one. RSSI is the total received power including the received power of the desired signal and the interference and noise power. RSRQ is the ratio of RSRP to RSSI.
 当該所望信号は、同期信号ブロック(SSB:Synchronization Signal Block)に含まれる信号であってもよい。SSBは、同期信号(SS:Synchronization Signal)及びブロードキャストチャネル(ブロードキャスト信号、PBCH、NR-PBCHなどともいう)を含む信号ブロックであり、SS/PBCHブロックなどと呼ばれてもよい。 The desired signal may be a signal included in a synchronization signal block (SSB: Synchronization Signal Block). The SSB is a signal block including a synchronization signal (SS: Synchronization @ Signal) and a broadcast channel (also referred to as a broadcast signal, PBCH, NR-PBCH, etc.), and may be called an SS / PBCH block or the like.
 SSは、PSS(Primary Synchronization Signal)、SSS(Secondary Synchronization Signal)、NR-PSS、NR-SSSなどを含んでもよい。SSBは、1以上のシンボル(例えば、OFDMシンボル)によって構成される。SSB内では、PSS、SSS及びPBCHがそれぞれ異なる1以上のシンボルに配置されてもよい。例えば、SSBは、1シンボルのPSS、1シンボルのSSS、及び2又は3シンボルのPBCHを含む、計4又は5シンボルによって構成されてもよい。 SS may include PSS (PrimaryrimSynchronization Signal), SSS (Secondary Synchronization Signal), NR-PSS, NR-SSS, and the like. The SSB is composed of one or more symbols (for example, OFDM symbols). In the SSB, the PSS, the SSS, and the PBCH may be arranged in one or more different symbols. For example, the SSB may be configured by a total of four or five symbols including one symbol PSS, one symbol SSS, and two or three symbols of the PBCH.
 なお、SS(又はSSB)を用いて行われる測定はSS(又はSSB)測定と呼ばれてもよい。SS(又はSSB)測定としては、例えばSS-RSRP、SS-RSSI、SS-RSRQ、SS-SINR測定などが行われてもよい。 測定 In addition, the measurement performed using SS (or SSB) may be referred to as SS (or SSB) measurement. As the SS (or SSB) measurement, for example, SS-RSRP, SS-RSSI, SS-RSRQ, SS-SINR measurement, or the like may be performed.
 ところで、ユーザ端末は、同期信号の受信電力(例えば、SS-RSRP:Synchronization signal reference signal received power)及びNRキャリアにおける受信信号強度(例えば、RSSI:Received Signal Strength Indicator、NRキャリアRSSI)に基づいて、同期信号の受信品質(例えば、SS-RSRQ:Synchronization signal reference signal received quality)を決定することが想定される。 By the way, the user terminal determines a received signal strength (for example, SS-RSRP: Synchronization signal reference signal received received power) and a received signal strength in the NR carrier (for example, RSSI: Received Signal Strength Indicator, NR carrier RSSI). It is assumed that the reception quality of the synchronization signal (for example, SS-RSRQ: Synchronization signal reference signal received quality) is determined.
 例えば、SS-SRRQは、以下のように規定されてもよい。
    SS-RSRQ = N×SS-RSRP/NRキャリアRSSI
 ここで、Nは、NRキャリアRSSIの測定が許容される最大帯域幅(最大許容帯域幅又は測定用帯域幅)に含まれるリソースブロック数であってもよい。
For example, SS-SRRQ may be defined as follows.
SS-RSRQ = N × SS-RSRP / NR Carrier RSSI
Here, N may be the number of resource blocks included in the maximum bandwidth (maximum allowable bandwidth or measurement bandwidth) in which measurement of the NR carrier RSSI is allowed.
 SS-RSRPは、同期信号(SS:Synchronization signal)を伝送するリソース要素の電力貢献(power contributions)に対する線形平均(liner average)によって規定される。SS-RSRPの測定用の時間リソースは、SMTCウィンドウ期間内で規定されてもよい。SS-RSRPは、同一のSS/PBCHブロックインデックス及び同一の物理レイヤセルID(Physical-layer cell identity)内のSS/PBCHブロックに対応する参照信号間でのみ測定されてもよい。上位レイヤがSS-RSRP測定を行うSS/PBCHブロックを指示(indicate)する場合、SS-RSRPは、指示されるSS/PBCHブロックで測定されてもよい。なお、SS-RSRPは、PSS、SSS及び他の信号(例えば、CSI-RS)の少なくとも一つを用いて測定されてもよい。 SS-RSRP is defined by a linear average over the power contributions of the resource elements transmitting the synchronization signal (SS). A time resource for SS-RSRP measurement may be defined within the SMTC window period. The SS-RSRP may be measured only between reference signals corresponding to SS / PBCH blocks in the same SS / PBCH block index and the same physical layer cell ID (Physical-layer @ cell @ identity). If the higher layer indicates an SS / PBCH block for performing SS-RSRP measurement, the SS-RSRP may be measured in the indicated SS / PBCH block. Note that SS-RSRP may be measured using at least one of PSS, SSS, and another signal (for example, CSI-RS).
 NRキャリアRSSIは、測定用の時間リソースのあるOFDMシンボル及び測定用帯域幅における総受信電力(total received power)の線形平均を構成する。測定用帯域幅は、N個のリソースブロックで構成されてもよい。NRキャリアRSSIは、同一周波数の(co-channel)サービングセル及び非サービングセルを含む全てのソースからの干渉及び熱雑音(thermal noise)を含んでもよい。NRキャリアRSSIの測定用の時間リソースは、SMTCウィンドウ期間内で規定されてもよい。 The NR carrier RSSI constitutes a linear average of the total received power in the OFDM symbol with the measurement time resource and the measurement bandwidth. The measurement bandwidth may be composed of N resource blocks. The NR carrier RSSI may include interference and thermal noise from all sources, including co-channel serving and non-serving cells. A time resource for measuring the NR carrier RSSI may be defined within the SMTC window period.
 NRキャリアRSSIは、SS-RSRPと同様に、SS/PBCHブロックで測定することが検討されている。すなわち、NRキャリアRSSIの測定用の最大許容帯域幅は、SS-RSRPの測定用帯域幅と同様に、SS/PBCHブロックの帯域幅(例えば、20PRB)とすることが検討されている。 NR carrier RSSI is being studied for measurement in SS / PBCH blocks, similar to SS-RSRP. That is, the maximum allowable bandwidth for measuring the NR carrier RSSI is being considered to be the SS / PBCH block bandwidth (for example, 20 PRB), like the SS-RSRP measurement bandwidth.

<SSBを送信しないCCを用いる場合>
 バンド内(intra-band)CA(Carrier Aggregation)の一部のCCにおいて、SSBを送信しない運用をサポートすることが検討されている。SSBが送信されないCCにおいて、UEがRRM(Radio Resource Management)測定をどのように行うかが問題となる。
<When using CC that does not transmit SSB>
Some CCs in intra-band CA (Carrier Aggregation) are being studied to support operation without SSB transmission. The problem is how the UE performs RRM (Radio Resource Management) measurement in a CC where SSB is not transmitted.
 SSBを持たない(SSBが送信されない)CCを使うシナリオとして、次のシナリオ1、2が想定される。 The following scenarios 1 and 2 are assumed as scenarios using CCs without SSB (SSB is not transmitted).
<シナリオ1>
 図1に示すように、SSBを持たないCCと同じバンド内に、SSBを持つ(SSBが送信される)CCがあり、SSBを持たないCCと、SSBを持つCCと、が、同じ基地局位置(co-located)で運用される。
<Scenario 1>
As shown in FIG. 1, there is a CC having an SSB (a SSB is transmitted) in the same band as a CC having no SSB, and a CC having no SSB and a CC having an SSB are the same base station. Operated in a co-located location.
 同じ基地局位置で運用される同じバンド内の複数のCCの間において、同期、RSRPなどは、ほとんど同じである。UEが、SSBを持つCCに対して、同期及びRSRP測定の少なくとも1つを行うことによって、他のCCのセルのアクティベーション/ディアクティベーションが柔軟に行われることができ、他のCCのRSRPを測定する必要がない。また、基地局が複数のCCの一部においてSSB送信を行わないことによって、SSB送信のオーバーヘッドを削減できる。また、UEが各CCでRSRPを測定する必要がないため、測定負荷を軽減できる。 同期 Synchronization, RSRP, etc. are almost the same among a plurality of CCs in the same band operated at the same base station position. The UE performs at least one of the synchronization and the RSRP measurement on the CC having the SSB, so that the activation / deactivation of the cell of the other CC can be flexibly performed, and the RSRP of the other CC can be performed. There is no need to measure. In addition, since the base station does not perform SSB transmission on some CCs, it is possible to reduce overhead of SSB transmission. Further, since the UE does not need to measure the RSRP in each CC, the measurement load can be reduced.
<シナリオ2>
 UEがSSBの代わりにCSI-RSを用いてRRM測定を行う。
<Scenario 2>
UE performs RRM measurement using CSI-RS instead of SSB.
 この場合、複数のCCが同じ基地局位置で運用されていなくても(異なる基地局位置で運用されていても)、各CCでCSI-RSが送信されることによって、UEは各CCの品質(RSRP、RSRQなど)を測定できる。基地局は、各CCの品質を管理でき、各UEに適切なCC(セル)を割り当てることができる。 In this case, even if a plurality of CCs are not operated at the same base station position (even if they are operated at different base station positions), the CSI-RS is transmitted on each CC, so that the UE can obtain the quality of each CC. (RSRP, RSRQ, etc.). The base station can manage the quality of each CC and can assign an appropriate CC (cell) to each UE.
 シナリオ1においては、バンド内の複数のCCの間においてRSRPがほぼ同じであると想定できる。一方、トラフィックに依存する干渉量はCCによって異なるケースがある。このケースは、基地局が複数のUEを複数のCCに分散させる場合などである。例えば、図1において、CC#0のトラフィックが多く(混んでいる)、CC#1のトラフィックが少ない(空いている)場合がある。 In Scenario 1, it can be assumed that RSRPs are substantially the same among a plurality of CCs in a band. On the other hand, the traffic-dependent interference amount may differ depending on the CC. This case is a case where the base station distributes a plurality of UEs to a plurality of CCs. For example, in FIG. 1, there is a case where the traffic of CC # 0 is large (congested) and the traffic of CC # 1 is small (vacant).
 基地局は、RSRQ、SINRなどのように干渉量を含む測定結果に基づいて、UEをどのCCに接続させるかを決定することによって、トラフィックを分散させることが考えられる。しかしながら、シナリオ1及びシナリオ2において、各CCの干渉量を含む測定結果を得るために、各CCにおいて測定信号(SSB、CSI-RS)を送信すると、測定信号の送信のオーバーヘッドが増加する。 It is conceivable that the base station distributes traffic by determining which CC to connect the UE to based on a measurement result including the amount of interference such as RSRQ and SINR. However, in scenario 1 and scenario 2, when a measurement signal (SSB, CSI-RS) is transmitted in each CC in order to obtain a measurement result including the interference amount of each CC, transmission overhead of the measurement signal increases.
 そこで、本発明者らは、測定信号が送信されないキャリアにおける受信強度及び受信品質の少なくとも1つの測定のためのオーバーヘッドを抑える方法を検討し、本発明に至った。 Therefore, the present inventors have studied a method for suppressing an overhead for measuring at least one of reception strength and reception quality in a carrier to which a measurement signal is not transmitted, and have reached the present invention.
 以下、本開示に係る実施形態について、図面を参照して詳細に説明する。 Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
 また、以下において、上位レイヤシグナリングは、例えば、RRC(Radio Resource Control)シグナリング、MAC(Medium Access Control)シグナリング、ブロードキャスト情報などのいずれか、又はこれらの組み合わせであってもよい。 In the following, the upper layer signaling may be, for example, any of RRC (Radio Resource Control) signaling, MAC (Medium Access Control) signaling, broadcast information, or a combination thereof.

The broadcast information may be, for example, a master information block (MIB: Master Information Block), a system information block (SIB: System Information Block), minimum system information (RMSI: Remaining Minimum System Information), or the like.
 本開示において、セル、サービングセル、キャリア及びCCは、相互に読み替えられてもよい。本開示において、測定信号、参照信号、同期信号、SSB、CSI-RSは、相互に読み替えられてもよい。 に お い て In the present disclosure, a cell, a serving cell, a carrier, and a CC may be read interchangeably. In the present disclosure, the measurement signal, the reference signal, the synchronization signal, the SSB, and the CSI-RS may be interchanged.
(実施形態)
 UEが1つのバンド内の少なくとも1つのCC(第1CC)において測定信号(参照信号)を用いるRSRP測定を設定されている場合、UEは当該バンド内の測定信号が送信されないCC(第2CC)においてRSRQ測定を設定されてもよい。測定信号は、SSB及びCSI-RSの少なくとも1つであってもよい。
(Embodiment)
If the UE has been configured for RSRP measurement using a measurement signal (reference signal) in at least one CC (first CC) in one band, the UE may be configured on a CC (second CC) in which measurement signals in that band are not transmitted. An RSRQ measurement may be configured. The measurement signal may be at least one of SSB and CSI-RS.
 例えば、1つのバンド内の少なくとも1つの第1CCにおいてSS-RSRP測定を設定されている場合、UEは当該バンド内のSSBが送信されない第2CCにおいてSS-RSRQ測定を設定されてもよい。 For example, if SS-RSRP measurement is configured in at least one first CC in one band, the UE may be configured for SS-RSRQ measurement in a second CC in which SSB in the band is not transmitted.
 UEは、第1CCにおいてRSRPを測定し、第2CCにおいてRSSIを測定し、第1CCのRSRPと第2CCのRSSIとに基づいて、第2CCのRSRQを計算してもよい。 The UE may measure the RSRP at the first CC, measure the RSSI at the second CC, and calculate the RSRQ of the second CC based on the RSRP of the first CC and the RSSI of the second CC.
 UEは、第2CCにおけるSS-RSRQを設定された場合、当該SS-RSRQの計算において、第1CCにおいて測定されたSS-RSRPを用いてもよい。言い換えれば、UEは、第2CCにおけるSS-RSRQを設定された場合、第1CCのSS-RSRPを、第2CCのSS-RSRPと見なしてもよい。 When the SS-RSRQ in the second CC is set, the UE may use the SS-RSRP measured in the first CC in the calculation of the SS-RSRQ. In other words, when the SS-RSRQ in the second CC is set, the UE may regard the SS-RSRP of the first CC as the SS-RSRP of the second CC.
 UEは、第2CCにおけるSS-RSRQを設定された場合、当該SS-RSRQの計算において、第2CC内の特定帯域において測定されたSS-RSSIを用いる。 When the SS-RSRQ in the second CC is set, the UE uses the SS-RSSI measured in the specific band in the second CC in calculating the SS-RSRQ.
 特定帯域は、第2CC内のアクティブDL BWPの帯域の全部又は一部であってもよい。特定帯域は、指示された周波数(例えば、ssbFrequency)を中心とし、所定の帯域幅(例えば、20PRB)を有する帯域であってもよい。所定の帯域幅は、測定信号(SSB又はCSI-RS)の帯域幅と同じ帯域幅であってもよい。特定帯域は、RSSI測定用に指示された中心周波数及び帯域幅の少なくとも1つを有する帯域であってもよい。 The specific band may be all or a part of the band of the active DL BWP in the second CC. The specific band may be a band centered on a designated frequency (for example, ssbFrequency) and having a predetermined bandwidth (for example, 20 PRB). The predetermined bandwidth may be the same as the bandwidth of the measurement signal (SSB or CSI-RS). The specific band may be a band having at least one of the center frequency and the bandwidth designated for RSSI measurement.
 例えば、図2に示すように、UEが、1つのバンド内のCC#0-#5を用いてバンド内CAを行い、CC#2(第1CC)のみにおいてSSBが送信されるとする。UEは、CC#2のSSBを用いてSS-RSRPを測定する。UEは、CC#0-#5のそれぞれにおいてSS-RSSIを測定する。UEは、CC#2におけるSS-RSRPと、CC#2におけるSS-RSSIと、に基づいて、CC#2におけるSS-RSRQを計算する。さらにUEは、CC#2におけるSS-RSRPを他のCC(CC#0、#1、#3、#4、#5)におけるSS-RSRPと見なす。すなわち、UEは、CC#2におけるSS-RSRPと、各CCにおけるSS-RSSIと、に基づいて、各CCにおけるSS-RSRQを計算する。 For example, as shown in FIG. 2, it is assumed that the UE performs in-band CA using CCs # 0 to # 5 in one band, and SSB is transmitted only in CC # 2 (first CC). The UE measures SS-RSRP using the SSB of CC # 2. The UE measures the SS-RSSI in each of CCs # 0 to # 5. The UE calculates the SS-RSRQ in CC # 2 based on the SS-RSRP in CC # 2 and the SS-RSSI in CC # 2. Further, the UE regards the SS-RSRP in CC # 2 as the SS-RSRP in other CCs (CC # 0, # 1, # 3, # 4, # 5). That is, the UE calculates SS-RSRQ in each CC based on SS-RSRP in CC # 2 and SS-RSSI in each CC.
 この実施形態によれば、1つのバンド内の複数のCCが同じ基地局位置で運用される場合に、一部のCCにおいて測定信号(SSB又はCSI-RS)が送信されないことによって、測定信号送信のオーバーヘッドを削減でき、UEにおけるRSRPの測定負荷を軽減できる。 According to this embodiment, when a plurality of CCs in one band are operated at the same base station position, the measurement signal (SSB or CSI-RS) is not transmitted in some CCs, thereby transmitting the measurement signal. Can be reduced, and the measurement load of RSRP in the UE can be reduced.
 UEは、測定信号が送信されないCCにおいても、受信品質(RSRQ)を報告できる。これによって、複数のCCの一部において測定信号が送信されない場合であっても、基地局はトラフィックに依存する受信品質に基づいて、複数のCCを複数のUEへ割り当て、トラフィックを分散させることができる。 The UE can report the reception quality (RSRQ) even in the CC where the measurement signal is not transmitted. Thereby, even when a measurement signal is not transmitted in a part of a plurality of CCs, the base station can allocate a plurality of CCs to a plurality of UEs based on the reception quality depending on the traffic and distribute the traffic. it can.
 以下、実施形態の詳細な内容について説明する。以下の各内容は、それぞれ単独で適用されてもよいし、組み合わせて適用されてもよい。 Hereinafter, the details of the embodiment will be described. Each of the following contents may be applied alone or in combination.
<SSBが送信されないCCにおけるRSRQ測定の指示方法>
 UEは、次のRSRQ測定指示方法1~3の1つに従って、SSBが送信されないCC(第2CC)におけるRSRQ測定を指示されてもよい。
<Method of instructing RSRQ measurement in CC where SSB is not transmitted>
The UE may be instructed to perform RSRQ measurement on a CC (second CC) where SSB is not transmitted according to one of the following RSRQ measurement instruction methods 1 to 3.
《RSRQ測定指示方法1》
 UEは、SSBなしのSS-RSRQ測定(SSB less SS-RSRQ measurement)であることを明示的(explicit)に指示されてもよい。例えば、上位レイヤシグナリング(MeasObjectNR)は、SSBなしのSS-RSRQ測定であることを示す1ビットのフィールドを含んでもよい。
<< RSRQ measurement instruction method 1 >>
The UE may be explicitly indicated to be an SS-RSRQ measurement without SSB (SSB less SS-RSRQ measurement). For example, the upper layer signaling (MeasObjectNR) may include a 1-bit field to indicate SS-RSRQ measurement without SSB.
 UEは、SSBなしのSS-RSRQ測定であることを明示的に指示された場合、ssbFrequency及びssbSubcarrierSpacingを通知されなくてもよい。この場合、MeasObjectNRはssbFrequency及びssbSubcarrierSpacingを含まなくてもよい。 The UE may not be notified of ssbFrequency and ssbSubcarrierSpacing when explicitly instructed to perform SS-RSRQ measurement without SSB. In this case, MeasObjectNR may not include ssbFrequency and ssbSubcarrierSpacing.
 UEは、RSSI測定帯域(中心周波数、帯域幅)を別の上位レイヤシグナリングによって通知されてもよいし、仕様で規定される固定のRSSI測定帯域を用いてもよいし、所定のルールを用いて特定のパラメータからRSSI測定帯域を決定してもよい。 The UE may be notified of the RSSI measurement band (center frequency, bandwidth) by another higher layer signaling, may use a fixed RSSI measurement band defined in the specification, or may use a predetermined rule. The RSSI measurement band may be determined from specific parameters.
《RSRQ測定指示方法2》
 UEは、通知されたMeasObjectNRがssbSubcarrierSpacingを含まないことによって、SSBなしのSS-RSRQ測定であることを暗示的(implicit)に指示されてもよい。
<< RSRQ measurement instruction method 2 >>
The UE may be implicitly indicated that the notified MeasObjectNR does not include the ssbSubcarrierSpacing, which is the SS-RSRQ measurement without the SSB.
 さらにUEは、MeasObjectNRに含まれるssbFrequencyによって、RSSI測定帯域の中心周波数を指示されてもよい。言い換えれば、MeasObjectNRがssbSubcarrierSpacingを含まない場合、UEは、MeasObjectNRに含まれるssbFrequencyがRSSI測定帯域の中心周波数を示すと解釈してもよい。 Furthermore, the UE may be instructed on the center frequency of the RSSI measurement band by ssbFrequency included in MeasObjectNR. In other words, when MeasObjectNR does not include ssbSubcarrierSpacing, the UE may interpret that ssbFrequency included in MeasObjectNR indicates the center frequency of the RSSI measurement band.
 UEは、RSSI測定帯域の帯域幅を別の上位レイヤシグナリングによって通知されてもよいし、仕様で規定される固定の帯域幅を用いてもよいし、所定のルールを用いて特定のパラメータから帯域幅を決定してもよい。 The UE may be notified of the bandwidth of the RSSI measurement band by another higher layer signaling, may use a fixed bandwidth defined in the specification, or may use a predetermined rule to determine a bandwidth from a specific parameter. The width may be determined.
 RSSI測定帯域の帯域幅は、仕様で規定される固定の帯域幅であってもよい。固定の帯域幅は、サービングセル(第2CC)のデータ(PDSCH)のサブキャリア間隔(SubCarrier Spacing:SCS)で20PRB(例えば、SSBのPRB数)であってもよい。 The bandwidth of the RSSI measurement band may be a fixed bandwidth defined in the specification.

May be interpreted.
 UEは、RSSI測定帯域の帯域幅を別の上位レイヤシグナリングによって通知されてもよいし、仕様で規定される固定の帯域幅を用いてもよいし、所定のルールを用いて特定のパラメータから導出される帯域幅を用いてもよい。 The UE may be notified of the bandwidth of the RSSI measurement band by another higher layer signaling, may use a fixed bandwidth defined in the specification, or may derive from a specific parameter using a predetermined rule.

 RSSI測定帯域の帯域幅は、仕様で規定される固定の帯域幅であってもよい。 The bandwidth of the RSSI measurement band may be a fixed bandwidth defined in the specification.
 RSSI測定帯域の固定のPRB数が仕様で規定されてもよい。例えば、UEは、ssbSubcarrierSpacingによって指定されるSSB SCSと、固定のPRB数(例えば、20PRB、SSBのPRB数)とから、帯域幅を決定してもよいし、サービングセル(第2CC)のデータのSCSに対して、固定のPRB数(例えば、20PRB、SSBのPRB数)を帯域幅として決定してもよい。 固定 The fixed number of PRBs in the RSSI measurement band may be defined in the specification. For example, the UE may determine the bandwidth from the SSB @ SCS specified by ssbSubcarrierSpacing and the fixed number of PRBs (for example, the number of PRBs of 20 PRBs and SSBs), or the SCS of the data of the serving cell (second CC). However, a fixed number of PRBs (for example, the number of PRBs of 20 PRBs and SSBs) may be determined as the bandwidth.

The UE may be explicitly notified of the center frequency and the bandwidth of the RSSI measurement band. Upper layer signaling may include an information element indicating a center frequency and a bandwidth of the RSSI measurement band.
 帯域幅は、絶対値(例えば、MHz単位)によって通知されてもよい。SCSとPRB数の複数の組み合わせが仕様に規定され、UEは、1つの組み合わせのインデックスを通知され、その組み合わせに基づいて帯域幅を決定してもよい。SCS及びPRB数の少なくとも1つの複数の候補が仕様に規定され、UEは、1つの候補のインデックスを通知され、その候補に基づいて帯域幅を決定してもよい。SCS及びPRB数の一方の値が仕様に規定され、UEは、他方の値を通知され、通知された値と、仕様に規定された値とから、帯域幅を決定してもよい。 The bandwidth may be notified by an absolute value (for example, in MHz).

At least one candidate for the number of SCSs and PRBs is specified in the specification, and the UE may be notified of the index of one candidate and determine the bandwidth based on the candidate. One value of the SCS and the number of PRBs may be specified in the specification, and the UE may be notified of the other value, and may determine the bandwidth from the notified value and the value specified in the specification.
《RSSI測定方法2》
 UEは、ssbFrequencyによって、RSSI測定帯域の中心周波数を指示されてもよい。さらにUEは、RSSI測定帯域に対し、仕様で規定される固定の帯域幅を用いてもよいし、所定のルールを用いて特定のパラメータから導出される帯域幅を用いてもよい。
<< RSSI measurement method 2 >>
The UE may be instructed by ssbFrequency on the center frequency of the RSSI measurement band. Further, the UE may use a fixed bandwidth specified in the specification for the RSSI measurement band, or may use a bandwidth derived from a specific parameter using a predetermined rule.
 RSSI測定帯域の帯域幅は、仕様で規定される固定の帯域幅であってもよい。 The bandwidth of the RSSI measurement band may be a fixed bandwidth defined in the specification.
 RSSI測定帯域の固定のPRB数(例えば、20PRB、SSBのPRB数)が仕様で規定されてもよい。例えば、UEは、ssbSubcarrierSpacingによって指定されるSSB SCSと固定のPRB数とから、帯域幅を決定してもよい。 固定 The fixed number of PRBs of the RSSI measurement band (for example, the number of PRBs of 20 PRBs and SSBs) may be defined in the specification. For example, the UE may determine the bandwidth from SSB SCS specified by ssbSubcarrierSpacing and a fixed number of PRBs.

 UEは、同一バンド内のサービングセルでないCCのRSSI測定(異周波測定(inter-frequency measurement))を行う場合、第1CCのSSB SCSに対して、固定のPRB数の帯域幅を決定してもよい。すなわち、UEは、サービングセル設定(configuration、データのSCS)を通知されないCCのRSSI測定であっても、帯域幅を決定できる。 When the UE performs RSSI measurement (inter-frequency measurement) of a CC that is not a serving cell in the same band, the UE may determine a fixed number of PRBs for SSB @ SCS of the first CC. .

In the intra-frequency measurement, the UE may measure the RSSI in the RSSI measurement band in the active DL BWP of the CC whose RSSI is to be measured. RF retuning is not required for measurements within the active DL BWP.
 RSSI測定帯域は、UE実装(implementation)に依存してもよいし、仕様に規定された固定の帯域であってもよい。例えば、固定の帯域は、アクティブDL BWPの中心の20PRB(例えば、SSB帯域幅)であってもよい。 The RSSI measurement band may depend on the UE implementation, or may be a fixed band defined in the specification. For example, the fixed band may be 20PRB (eg, SSB bandwidth) at the center of the active DL @ BWP.
 以上のRSSI測定方法によれば、UEは、RSSI測定帯域を適切に設定されることができ、SSBが送信されないCC、異周波測定(サービングセルでないCC)、同周波測定においても、RSSI測定を適切に行うことができる。 According to the RSSI measurement method described above, the UE can appropriately set the RSSI measurement band, and can appropriately set the RSSI measurement even in a CC where SSB is not transmitted, in a different frequency measurement (a CC that is not a serving cell), and in the same frequency measurement.

 UEは、SS-RSSI-Measurementを設定されない場合、UEは、デフォルトとして、SMTC期間(ウィンドウ)内の全シンボルをRSSI測定に用いてもよい。 If the UE does not set SS-RSSI-Measurement, the UE may use all symbols in the SMTC period (window) for RSSI measurement as a default.
<受信ビームフォーミング>

<Reception beamforming>
The UE may use receive beamforming (BF) in the RSRP measurement and the RSSI measurement. Even when the UE performs the RSRP measurement and the RSSI measurement in one CC, the UE may perform the RSSI measurement using the same reception BF as the reception BF used for the RSRP measurement. The UE may perform the RSSI measurement using the same reception BF as the reception BF used for the RSRP measurement even when the CC for the RSRP measurement and the CC for the RSSI measurement are different. This allows the UE to perform RSSI measurement using an appropriate beam.
<報告内容>
 UEは、第1CCのRSRPと第2CCのRSSIとを用いて第2CCのRSRQを計算し、当該RSRQを報告してもよい。UEは、第2CCのRSRPとして第1CCのRSRPを報告してもよいし、第1CCのRSRPを報告し、第2CCのRSRPを報告しなくてもよい。UEは、第2CCのRSSIを報告してもよい。

 前述のSSBを用いる測定(SS-RSRP、SS-RSSI、SS-RSRQ)におけるSSBがCSI-RSに読み替えられてもよい。UEは、前述のRSRQ測定指示方法1~3の1つと同様にして、CSI-RSが送信されないCC(第2CC)におけるRSRQ測定を指示されてもよい。UEは、前述のRSSI測定方法1~3の1つと同様にして、第2CCにおけるRSSIを測定してもよい。 SSThe SSB in the measurement using the above-mentioned SSB (SS-RSRP, SS-RSSI, SS-RSRQ) may be replaced with CSI-RS. The UE may be instructed to perform the RSRQ measurement in the CC (second CC) in which the CSI-RS is not transmitted in the same manner as one of the above-described RSRQ measurement instruction methods 1 to 3.

 例えば、UEは、前述のRSRQ測定指示方法1と同様にして、CSI-RSなしのCSI-RSRQ測定(CSI-RS less CSI-RSRQ measurement)であることを明示的に指示されてもよい。例えば、上位レイヤシグナリング(MeasObjectNR)は、CSI-RSなしのCSI-RSRQ測定であることを示す1ビットのフィールドを含んでもよい。 For example, the UE may be explicitly instructed to be CSI-RSRQ measurement without CSI-RS (CSI-RS less CSI-RSRQ measurement) in the same manner as in the above-described RSRQ measurement instruction method 1. For example, upper layer signaling (MeasObjectNR) may include a 1-bit field indicating CSI-RSRQ measurement without CSI-RS.
 UEは、特定値のCSI-RSインデックスを含むCSI-RSリソース(CSI-RS-Resource-Mobility)のみが設定されることによって、CSI-RSなしのCSI-RSRQ測定であることを指示されてもよい。 The UE may be instructed to perform the CSI-RSRQ measurement without the CSI-RS by setting only the CSI-RS resource (CSI-RS-Resource-Mobility) including the CSI-RS index of the specific value.

The one or more respective periods (frames) forming the radio frame may be referred to as a subframe. Further, a subframe may be configured by one or more slots in the time domain. The subframe may be of a fixed length of time (eg, 1 ms) that does not depend on numerology.
 ここで、ニューメロロジーは、ある信号又はチャネルの送信及び受信の少なくとも一方に適用される通信パラメータであってもよい。ニューメロロジーは、例えば、サブキャリア間隔(SCS:SubCarrier Spacing)、帯域幅、シンボル長、サイクリックプレフィックス長、送信時間間隔(TTI:Transmission Time Interval)、TTIあたりのシンボル数、無線フレーム構成、送受信機が周波数領域において行う特定のフィルタリング処理、送受信機が時間領域において行う特定のウィンドウイング処理などの少なくとも1つを示してもよい。 Here, the new melology may be a communication parameter applied to at least one of transmission and reception of a certain signal or channel.

Further, the slot may be a time unit based on numerology.
 スロットは、複数のミニスロットを含んでもよい。各ミニスロットは、時間領域において1つ又は複数のシンボルによって構成されてもよい。また、ミニスロットは、サブスロットと呼ばれてもよい。ミニスロットは、スロットよりも少ない数のシンボルによって構成されてもよい。ミニスロットより大きい時間単位で送信されるPDSCH(又はPUSCH)は、PDSCH(PUSCH)マッピングタイプAと呼ばれてもよい。ミニスロットを用いて送信されるPDSCH(又はPUSCH)は、PDSCH(PUSCH)マッピングタイプBと呼ばれてもよい。 Slots may include multiple mini-slots. Each minislot may be constituted by one or more symbols in the time domain. Also, the mini-slot may be called a sub-slot. A minislot may be made up of a smaller number of symbols than slots. A PDSCH (or PUSCH) transmitted in time units larger than minislots may be referred to as PDSCH (PUSCH) mapping type A. A PDSCH (or PUSCH) transmitted using a minislot may be referred to as a PDSCH (PUSCH) mapping type B.
 無線フレーム、サブフレーム、スロット、ミニスロット及びシンボルは、いずれも信号を伝送する際の時間単位を表す。無線フレーム、サブフレーム、スロット、ミニスロット及びシンボルは、それぞれに対応する別の呼称が用いられてもよい。なお、本開示におけるフレーム、サブフレーム、スロット、ミニスロット、シンボルなどの時間単位は、互いに読み替えられてもよい。 Radio frames, subframes, slots, minislots, and symbols all represent time units when transmitting signals. The radio frame, the subframe, the slot, the minislot, and the symbol may have different names corresponding to each. Note that time units such as frames, subframes, slots, minislots, and symbols in the present disclosure may be interchanged with each other.
 例えば、1サブフレームは送信時間間隔(TTI:Transmission Time Interval)と呼ばれてもよいし、複数の連続したサブフレームがTTIと呼ばれてよいし、1スロット又は1ミニスロットがTTIと呼ばれてもよい。つまり、サブフレーム及びTTIの少なくとも一方は、既存のLTEにおけるサブフレーム(1ms)であってもよいし、1msより短い期間(例えば、1-13シンボル)であってもよいし、1msより長い期間であってもよい。なお、TTIを表す単位は、サブフレームではなくスロット、ミニスロットなどと呼ばれてもよい。 For example, one subframe may be called a transmission time interval (TTI: Transmission @ Time @ Interval), a plurality of consecutive subframes may be called a TTI, and one slot or one minislot is called a TTI. You may. That is, at least one of the subframe and the TTI may be a subframe (1 ms) in the existing LTE, a period shorter than 1 ms (for example, 1 to 13 symbols), or a period longer than 1 ms. It may be. Note that the unit representing the TTI may be called a slot, a minislot, or the like instead of a subframe.
 ここで、TTIは、例えば、無線通信におけるスケジューリングの最小時間単位のことをいう。例えば、LTEシステムでは、基地局が各ユーザ端末に対して、無線リソース(各ユーザ端末において使用することが可能な周波数帯域幅、送信電力など)を、TTI単位で割り当てるスケジューリングを行う。なお、TTIの定義はこれに限られない。 Here, the TTI refers to, for example, a minimum time unit of scheduling in wireless communication. For example, in the LTE system, the base station performs scheduling for allocating radio resources (frequency bandwidth, transmission power, and the like that can be used in each user terminal) to each user terminal in TTI units. Note that the definition of TTI is not limited to this.
 TTIは、チャネル符号化されたデータパケット(トランスポートブロック)、コードブロック、コードワードなどの送信時間単位であってもよいし、スケジューリング、リンクアダプテーションなどの処理単位となってもよい。なお、TTIが与えられたとき、実際にトランスポートブロック、コードブロック、コードワードなどがマッピングされる時間区間(例えば、シンボル数)は、当該TTIよりも短くてもよい。 The TTI may be a transmission time unit such as a channel-encoded data packet (transport block), a code block, or a code word, or may be a processing unit such as scheduling and link adaptation. Note that when a TTI is given, a time section (for example, the number of symbols) in which a transport block, a code block, a codeword, and the like are actually mapped may be shorter than the TTI.
 なお、1スロット又は1ミニスロットがTTIと呼ばれる場合、1以上のTTI(すなわち、1以上のスロット又は1以上のミニスロット)が、スケジューリングの最小時間単位となってもよい。また、当該スケジューリングの最小時間単位を構成するスロット数(ミニスロット数)は制御されてもよい。 If one slot or one minislot is called a TTI, one or more TTIs (ie, one or more slots or one or more minislots) may be the minimum time unit for scheduling. Further, the number of slots (mini-slot number) constituting the minimum time unit of the scheduling may be controlled.
