A radio communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a base station 10 and a terminal 20, as shown in FIG. Although one base station 10 and one terminal 20 are shown in FIG. 1, this is an example, and there may be a plurality of each.
 基地局10は、1つ以上のセルを提供し、端末20と無線通信を行う通信装置である。無線信号の物理リソースは、時間領域及び周波数領域で定義され、時間領域はOFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)シンボル数で定義されてもよいし、周波数領域はサブキャリア数又はリソースブロック数で定義されてもよい。また、時間領域におけるTTI(Transmission Time Interval)がスロットであってもよいし、TTIがサブフレームであってもよい。 The base station 10 is a communication device that provides one or more cells and performs wireless communication with the terminal 20. A physical resource of a radio signal is defined in the time domain and the frequency domain. The time domain may be defined by the number of OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbols, and the frequency domain is defined by the number of subcarriers or the number of resource blocks. good too. Also, a TTI (Transmission Time Interval) in the time domain may be a slot, or a TTI may be a subframe.
 基地局10は、同期信号及びシステム情報を端末20に送信する。同期信号は、例えば、NR-PSS及びNR-SSSである。システム情報は、例えば、NR-PBCHにて送信され、報知情報ともいう。同期信号及びシステム情報は、SSB(SS/PBCH block)と呼ばれてもよい。図1に示されるように、基地局10は、DL(Downlink)で制御信号又はデータを端末20に送信し、UL(Uplink)で制御信号又はデータを端末20から受信する。基地局10及び端末20はいずれも、ビームフォーミングを行って信号の送受信を行うことが可能である。また、基地局10及び端末20はいずれも、MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output)による通信をDL又はULに適用することが可能である。また、基地局10及び端末20はいずれも、CA(Carrier Aggregation)によるセカンダリセル(SCell:Secondary Cell)及びプライマリセル(PCell:Primary Cell)を介して通信を行ってもよい。さらに、端末20は、DC(Dual Connectivity)による基地局10のプライマリセル及び他の基地局10のプライマリセカンダリセルグループセル(PSCell:Primary SCG Cell)を介して通信を行ってもよい。 The base station 10 transmits the synchronization signal and system information to the terminal 20. Synchronization signals are, for example, NR-PSS and NR-SSS. The system information is transmitted by, for example, NR-PBCH, and is also called broadcast information. The synchronization signal and system information may be called SSB (SS/PBCH block). As shown in FIG. 1, the base station 10 transmits control signals or data to the terminal 20 on DL (Downlink) and receives control signals or data from the terminal 20 on UL (Uplink). Both the base station 10 and the terminal 20 can perform beamforming to transmit and receive signals. Also, both the base station 10 and the terminal 20 can apply MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) communication to DL or UL. Also, both the base station 10 and the terminal 20 may communicate via a secondary cell (SCell: Secondary Cell) and a primary cell (PCell: Primary Cell) by CA (Carrier Aggregation). Furthermore, the terminal 20 may communicate via a primary cell of the base station 10 and a primary secondary cell group cell (PSCell: Primary SCG Cell) of another base station 10 by DC (Dual Connectivity).
 端末20は、スマートフォン、携帯電話機、タブレット、ウェアラブル端末、M2M(Machine-to-Machine)用通信モジュール等の無線通信機能を備えた通信装置である。図1に示されるように、端末20は、DLで制御信号又はデータを基地局10から受信し、ULで制御信号又はデータを基地局10に送信することで、無線通信システムにより提供される各種通信サービスを利用する。また、端末20は、基地局10から送信される各種の参照信号を受信し、当該参照信号の受信結果に基づいて伝搬路品質の測定を実行する。なお、端末20をUEと呼び、基地局10をgNBと呼んでもよい。 The terminal 20 is a communication device with a wireless communication function, such as a smartphone, mobile phone, tablet, wearable terminal, or M2M (Machine-to-Machine) communication module. As shown in FIG. 1 , the terminal 20 receives control signals or data from the base station 10 on the DL and transmits control signals or data to the base station 10 on the UL, thereby performing various functions provided by the wireless communication system. Use communication services. Also, the terminal 20 receives various reference signals transmitted from the base station 10, and measures channel quality based on the reception result of the reference signals. Note that the terminal 20 may be called UE, and the base station 10 may be called gNB.
 図2は、本発明の実施の形態に係る周波数レンジの例を示す図である。3GPPリリース15及びリリース16のNR仕様では、例えば52.6GHz以上の周波数帯を運用することが検討されている。なお、図2に示されるように、現状運用が規定されているFR(Frequency range)1は410MHzから7.125GHzまでの周波数帯であり、SCS(Sub carrier spacing)は15、30又は60kHzであり、帯域幅は5MHzから100MHzまでである。FR2-1は24.25GHzから52.6GHzまでの周波数帯であり、SCSは60、120又は240kHzを使用し、帯域幅は50MHzから400MHzである。また、新たに運用される周波数帯であるFR2-2は、52.6GHzから71GHzまでの周波数帯である。 FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of frequency ranges according to the embodiment of the present invention. In the 3GPP Release 15 and Release 16 NR specifications, for example, the operation of frequency bands of 52.6 GHz and above is under consideration. As shown in FIG. 2, FR (Frequency range) 1, which is stipulated for current operation, is a frequency band from 410 MHz to 7.125 GHz, and SCS (Sub carrier spacing) is 15, 30 or 60 kHz. , the bandwidth is from 5 MHz to 100 MHz. FR2-1 is a frequency band from 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz, SCS uses 60, 120 or 240 kHz with a bandwidth of 50 MHz to 400 MHz. FR2-2, which is a newly operated frequency band, is a frequency band from 52.6 GHz to 71 GHz.
 当該新たに運用される周波数帯FR2-2において、ライセンスバンド及びアンライセンスバンドにおいて、64までのSSBビームがサポートされてもよい。また、イニシャルBWP(Bandwidth Part)において、SSBに適用する120kHzSCS及び初期アクセスに関する信号及びチャネルに適用する120kHzSCSがサポートされてもよい。 In the newly operated frequency band FR2-2, up to 64 SSB beams may be supported in licensed and unlicensed bands. Also, in the initial BWP (Bandwidth Part), 120 kHz SCS applied to SSB and 120 kHz SCS applied to signals and channels related to initial access may be supported.
 120kHzSCSに加えて、480kHzSCSにおけるSSBがサポートされてもよい。当該SSBにより、MIBに含まれるCORESET(Control Resource Set)#0/Type0-PDCCHをサポートする初期アクセスが実行されてもよい。ただし、以下の制限があってもよい。例えば、同期ラスタのエントリナンバが制限されてもよい。また、480kHzSCSのSSBの場合、480kHzSCSのCORESET#0/Type0-PDCCHのみサポートされてもよい。さらに、SSB-CORESET多重パターン1(SS/PBCH block and CORESET multiplexing pattern 1)が優先されてもよい。 SSB at 480 kHz SCS may be supported in addition to 120 kHz SCS. The SSB may perform initial access to support CORESET (Control Resource Set) #0/Type0-PDCCH contained in the MIB. However, the following restrictions may apply. For example, the entry number of a synchronization raster may be restricted. Also, in the case of SSB of 480 kHz SCS, only CORESET#0/Type 0-PDCCH of 480 kHz SCS may be supported. Furthermore, SSB-CORESET multiplexing pattern 1 (SS/PBCH block and CORESET multiplexing pattern 1) may be preferred.
 120kHzSCS、480kHzSCS及び960kHzSCSのSSBを検出するANR(Automatic Neighbour Relation)及びPCI(Physical Cell Identity)を一意に特定することがサポートされてもよい。また、120kHzSCS、480kHzSCS及び960kHzSCSのSSBのMIBに含まれるCORESET#0/Type0-PDCCHがサポートされてもよい。また、SSBのSCSあたり、1つのCORESET#0/Type0-PDCCHのSCSがサポートされてもよい。例えば、{SSBのSCS,CORESET#0/Type0-PDCCHのSCS}は、{120,120}、{480,480}、{960,960}がサポートされてもよい。 It may be supported to uniquely identify ANR (Automatic Neighbor Relation) and PCI (Physical Cell Identity) for detecting SSBs of 120 kHz SCS, 480 kHz SCS and 960 kHz SCS. Also, CORESET#0/Type 0-PDCCH included in MIBs of SSBs of 120 kHz SCS, 480 kHz SCS and 960 kHz SCS may be supported. Also, one SCS of CORESET#0/Type0-PDCCH may be supported per SCS of SSB. For example, {SCS of SSB, CORESET#0/SCS of Type0-PDCCH} may support {120, 120}, {480, 480}, {960, 960}.
 次に、NRリリース16における免許不要帯域でのSSB関連の機能拡張について説明する。NRでは、LBT(Listen Before Talk)を利用した無線通信システムが検討されている。LBTは、主に免許不要帯域において、目的とする通信が可能かどうかを確認するために、通信を試行する仕組みである。 Next, we will explain the SSB-related enhancements in the unlicensed spectrum in NR Release 16. In NR, a wireless communication system using LBT (Listen Before Talk) is under consideration. LBT is a mechanism that tries communication mainly in the unlicensed band in order to confirm whether the intended communication is possible.
 端末は、LBTの結果から次の信号を送信できないと判断すると、スケジューリングされたSSBビームの送信をキャンセルする。しかし、キャンセル前のSSバーストの次のSSバーストまでSSBビームを送信できないと、SSバーストの期間(例えば20ms)、SSBの送信を待たなければならないため、通信遅延の要因となる。 When the terminal determines that the next signal cannot be transmitted from the LBT result, it cancels the scheduled SSB beam transmission. However, if the SSB beam cannot be transmitted until the SS burst next to the SS burst before cancellation, the transmission of the SSB must be waited for the duration of the SS burst (for example, 20 ms), which causes communication delay.
 そこで、NRリリース16では、ディスカバリバースト送信ウィンドウ(DBTW:Discovery Burst Transmission Window)機能が規定されている。DBTW機能は、1つのSSバーストの中に含まれる複数の候補位置から、SSBの送信に使用する位置を選択する機能である。これによって、端末は、SSBの送信をキャンセルした場合でも、同一のSSバーストにおいてSSBを送信できる。 Therefore, NR Release 16 defines a Discovery Burst Transmission Window (DBTW) function. The DBTW function is a function of selecting a position to be used for SSB transmission from a plurality of candidate positions included in one SS burst. This allows the terminal to transmit SSB in the same SS burst even if transmission of SSB is cancelled.
 図3は、NRリリース16における免許不要帯域でのSSB関連の機能について説明するための第一の図である。最大5ミリ秒のディスカバリバースト送信ウィンドウ(DBTW:Discovery Burst Transmission Window)内の30(15)kHzのSCSのために、最大20(10)個のSSBの候補位置がサポートされている。なお、図3は、30kHzのSCSの場合における各パラメータの値を示している。 FIG. 3 is the first diagram for explaining the SSB-related functions in the unlicensed band in NR Release 16. Up to 20 (10) SSB candidate positions are supported for SCS at 30 (15) kHz within a Discovery Burst Transmission Window (DBTW) of up to 5 ms. Note that FIG. 3 shows the values of each parameter in the case of SCS of 30 kHz.
 端末は、各SSBビーム(図3の例では最大8個)を、各ディスカバリバースト送信ウィンドウ内の対応するPBCH DMRSシーケンスによってSSBの候補位置のうちの1つを使用して送信することができる。 The terminal can transmit each SSB beam (up to 8 in the example of FIG. 3) using one of the SSB candidate positions according to the corresponding PBCH DMRS sequence within each discovery burst transmission window.
 また、端末が、PBCHペイロードを介して、SSBの候補位置を示すインデックスおよびQCL(Quasi Co Location)パラメータの最上位バイト(MSB:Most Significant Byte)の値を示す指示を、基地局から受信する仕様が規定されている。ここで、QCLパラメータは、 In addition, the terminal, via the PBCH payload, an index indicating the candidate position of the SSB and an instruction indicating the value of the most significant byte (MSB: Most Significant Byte) of the QCL (Quasi Co Location) parameter, specification to receive from the base station is stipulated. where the QCL parameters are
Figure JPOXMLDOC01-appb-M000001
 である。以下では、当該QCLパラメータをNSSB QCLと記載する。なお、NSSB QCL={1,2,4,8}である。QCLパラメータは、端末が送信を指示されたSSBビーム数に相当する。
Figure JPOXMLDOC01-appb-M000001
is. In the following, this QCL parameter is referred to as N SSB QCL . Note that N SSB QCL = {1, 2, 4, 8}. The QCL parameter corresponds to the number of SSB beams the terminal is instructed to transmit.
 図4は、NRリリース16における免許不要帯域でのSSB関連の機能について説明するための第二の図である。図4は、NSSB QCL=4の場合におけるSSバースト内でSSBが含まれる位置を示すパラメータ(ssb-PositionsInBurst)を示している。 FIG. 4 is a second diagram for explaining SSB-related functions in unlicensed bands in NR Release 16. FIG. FIG. 4 shows the parameter (ssb-PositionsInBurst) indicating the positions in which the SSB is included in the SS burst when N SSB QCL =4.
 図5は、NRリリース16における免許不要帯域でのSSB関連の機能について説明するための第三の図である。図5は、図4に示されるケースにおいて、SSバースト内でSSBが送信される位置を示している。 FIG. 5 is a third diagram for explaining SSB-related functions in the unlicensed band in NR Release 16. FIG. 5 shows the position where the SSB is transmitted within the SS burst in the case shown in FIG.
 次に、NRにおいて検討されているDBTWの仕様について説明する。DBTWがサポートされているSCSの場合、次のフィールドを使用して、DBTWの操作に関連するパラメータが基地局から端末に指示されることが検討されている。 Next, we will explain the specifications of the DBTW being considered by NR. For SCS with DBTW support, it is contemplated that the following fields will be used to indicate from the base station to the terminal parameters related to the operation of the DBTW.
 DBTWの操作に関連するパラメータとして、1ビットの情報で足りる場合には、MIBに含まれる項目「subCarrierSpacingCommon」が使用される。 As a parameter related to the operation of the DBTW, if 1-bit information is sufficient, the item "subCarrierSpacingCommon" included in the MIB is used.
 DBTWの操作に関連するパラメータとして、2ビットの情報が必要な場合には、MIBに含まれる項目「subCarrierSpacingCommon」の1ビットと、項目「pdcch-ConfigSIB1」の1ビット(保留中のCORESET#0またはサーチスペースの設計で当該1ビットが使用可能である)またはスペアビット(メッセージ拡張ビットではない)が使用される。 If 2-bit information is required as a parameter related to DBTW operation, 1 bit of the item "subCarrierSpacingCommon" included in the MIB and 1 bit of the item "pdcch-ConfigSIB1" (pending CORESET#0 or The one bit is available in the design of the search space) or a spare bit (not a message extension bit) is used.
 DBTWの操作に関連するパラメータとして、3ビット以上の情報が必要な場合については検討課題となっている。  The case where 3-bit or more information is required as a parameter related to the operation of the DBTW is an issue for consideration.
 1つのSSバーストにおけるSSB候補位置の数とNSSB QCLの値が同一である場合、端末は、各SSB候補位置におけるSSBのQCL Type-Dは異なると想定する。すなわち、この場合は、DBTWがサポートされないことを示している。 If the number of SSB candidate positions in one SS burst and the value of N SSB QCL are the same, the terminal assumes that the SSB QCL Type-D at each SSB candidate position is different. That is, this case indicates that DBTW is not supported.
 また、FR2-2(52.6-71GHz)の周波数帯域では、最大SSBビーム数は64であるため、NSSB QCLの値は最大で64まで考えられる。また、NRでは、120kHzのSSBの場合、ハーフフレーム内の候補SSBの数は64であることが合意されている。したがって、120kHzのSSBの場合、基地局からNSSB QCLの値として64が通知されることは、DBTWが無効またはサポートしないことの指示であることを意味し、NSSB QCLの値として64未満(例えば32)が通知されることは、DBTWが有効またはサポートすることの指示であることを意味する。 Also, in the frequency band of FR2-2 (52.6-71 GHz), the maximum number of SSB beams is 64, so up to 64 N SSB QCL values are conceivable. It is also agreed in NR that the number of candidate SSBs in a half-frame is 64 for 120 kHz SSB. Therefore, in the case of SSB at 120 kHz, an N SSB QCL value of 64 reported by the base station means an indication that DBTW is disabled or not supported, and an N SSB QCL value of less than 64 ( For example, notification of 32) means that it is an indication that DBTW is valid or supported.
 図6は、MIBに含まれるパラメータについて説明するための図である。項目「subCarrierSpacingCommon」は、1ビットの値を持つが、FR2-2(52.6-71GHz)の周波数帯域では、当該項目の値を指示する必要がない。 FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the parameters included in the MIB. The item "subCarrierSpacingCommon" has a 1-bit value, but in the FR2-2 (52.6-71 GHz) frequency band, there is no need to indicate the value of this item.
 具体的には、当該項目の値は、端末から送信されるSSBのSCSと、その後に基地局から送信されるSIB1のSCSとが同じSCSであるか否かを示す値である。しかし、FR2-2(52.6-71GHz)の周波数帯域でサポートされる120kHz、480kHzおよび960kHzのSCSでは、いずれもSSBのSCSとSIB1のSCSが同じであるため、当該項目は使用されない。したがって、当該項目は、上述した目的以外の目的に使用可能である。 Specifically, the value of this item is a value that indicates whether the SCS of SSB transmitted from the terminal and the SCS of SIB1 subsequently transmitted from the base station are the same SCS. However, for the 120 kHz, 480 kHz and 960 kHz SCSs supported in the FR2-2 (52.6-71 GHz) frequency band, the SCS for SSB and the SCS for SIB1 are the same, so this item is not used. Therefore, the item can be used for purposes other than those mentioned above.
 (従来の問題点)
 FR2-2(52.6-71GHz)の周波数帯域において、DBTW機能が有効またはサポートされる場合に、下記のDBTW関連パラメータを通知するか否か、および具体的な通知方法が不明確である。
・QCLパラメータ(NSSB QCL
・DBTW機能の有効/無効
(Conventional problems)
In the FR2-2 (52.6-71 GHz) frequency band, when the DBTW function is enabled or supported, it is unclear whether or not the following DBTW-related parameters are notified and the specific notification method.
・QCL parameter ( NSSB QCL )
・Enable/disable DBTW function
 なお、FR2-2(52.6-71GHz)の周波数帯域において、免許不要帯域と免許を要する帯域を含み、さらに免許不要帯域であってもLBTが不要な状況が考えられる。そこで、NRでは、DBTW機能の有効/無効を通知することが合意されている。 In addition, the FR2-2 (52.6-71 GHz) frequency band includes unlicensed bands and bands that require a license, and even in unlicensed bands, it is possible that LBT is unnecessary. Therefore, NR has an agreement to notify whether the DBTW function is enabled/disabled.
 しかし、図6に示した通り、通知に使える情報は、MIBに含まれる項目「subCarrierSpacingCommon」の1ビットのみであるため、480kHzまたは960kHzという大きいSCSのSSBの場合においては、単純に当該項目を使用するだけでは情報が不足するという問題がある。 However, as shown in FIG. 6, the information that can be used for notification is only 1 bit of the item "subCarrierSpacingCommon" included in the MIB. There is a problem that information is insufficient only by doing so.
 (本実施の形態の概要)
 そこで、本実施の形態では、QCLパラメータの通知をサポートせずにDBTW機能を動作させるための端末の動作について説明する。以下、具体的な実施例として、実施例1および実施例2について説明する。
(Overview of this embodiment)
Therefore, in this embodiment, the operation of a terminal for operating the DBTW function without supporting notification of QCL parameters will be described. Examples 1 and 2 will be described below as specific examples.
 (実施例1)
 端末20は、DBTW機能の動作中に想定するQCLパラメータ(NSSB QCL)の値を、ある特定の値であると想定する。具体的には、端末20は、以下のオプションのいずれかの動作を行ってもよい。

The terminal 20 may assume that the value of the QCL parameter (N SSB QCL ) assumed during operation of the DBTW function is a fixed value.
 <オプション1-1>
 端末20は、DBTW機能の動作中に想定するQCLパラメータ(NSSB QCL)の値を、64であると想定してもよい。64は、SSBビーム数の最大値に相当する。
<Option 1-1>
Terminal 20 may assume the value of the QCL parameter ( NSSB QCL ) to be 64 during operation of the DBTW function. 64 corresponds to the maximum number of SSB beams.
 <オプション1-2>
 端末20は、DBTW機能の動作中に想定するQCLパラメータ(NSSB QCL)の値を、32であると想定してもよい。32は、SSB候補位置の数が64である場合に、DBTW機能を動作させることができるSSBビーム数の
一例である。
<Option 1-2>
Terminal 20 may assume a value of 32 for the QCL parameter (N SSB QCL ) assumed during operation of the DBTW function. Thirty-two is an example of the number of SSB beams that can operate the DBTW function when the number of SSB candidate positions is 64.
 <オプション1-3>
 端末20は、DBTW機能の動作中に想定するQCLパラメータ(NSSB QCL)の値を、64および32以外の固定値であると想定してもよい。例えば、固定値は、64未満であってもよく、2のべき乗の値であってもよい。
<Option 1-3>
The terminal 20 may assume that the value of the QCL parameter (N SSB QCL ) assumed during operation of the DBTW function is a fixed value other than 64 and 32. For example, the fixed value may be less than 64 and may be a power of two value.
 <オプション2>
 端末20は、下記のいずれか1つまたは複数の組み合わせに基づいて、DBTW機能の動作中に想定するQCLパラメータ(NSSB QCL)の値を決定してもよい。

- the number of SSB candidate positions in the SS burst
 なお、上述したQCLパラメータ(NSSB QCL)の値の決定方法については、仕様で規定されている。例えば、SCSが480kHzの場合と960kHzの場合とで、QCLパラメータ(NSSB QCL)の値として同じ値を決定してもよいし、異なる値を決定してもよい。 The method of determining the value of the QCL parameter (N SSB QCL ) described above is defined in the specifications. For example, the same value or different values may be determined as the value of the QCL parameter (N SSB QCL ) for SCS of 480 kHz and 960 kHz.

 無線フレームは時間領域において1つ又は複数のフレームによって構成されてもよい。時間領域において1つ又は複数の各フレームはサブフレームと呼ばれてもよい。サブフレームは更に時間領域において1つ又は複数のスロットによって構成されてもよい。サブフレームは、ニューメロロジ(numerology)に依存しない固定の時間長(例えば、1ms)であってもよい。 A radio frame may consist of one or more frames in the time domain. Each frame or frames in the time domain may be referred to as a subframe. A subframe may also consist of one or more slots in the time domain. A subframe may be of a fixed length of time (eg, 1 ms) independent of numerology.
 ニューメロロジは、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。 A numerology may be a communication parameter that applies to the transmission and/or reception of a signal or channel. Numerology, for example, subcarrier spacing (SCS), bandwidth, symbol length, cyclic prefix length, transmission time interval (TTI), number of symbols per TTI, radio frame configuration, transceiver It may indicate at least one of certain filtering operations performed in the frequency domain, certain windowing operations performed by the transceiver in the time domain, and/or the like.
 スロットは、時間領域において1つ又は複数のシンボル(OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)シンボル、SC-FDMA(Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access)シンボル等)で構成されてもよい。スロットは、ニューメロロジに基づく時間単位であってもよい。 A slot may consist of one or more symbols (OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbol, SC-FDMA (Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access) symbol, etc.) in the time domain. A slot may be a unit of time 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(又は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(又はPUSCH)マッピングタイプBと呼ばれてもよい。 A slot may contain multiple mini-slots. Each minislot may consist of one or more symbols in the time domain. A minislot may also be referred to as a subslot. A minislot may consist of fewer symbols than a slot. PDSCH (or PUSCH) transmitted in time units larger than minislots may be referred to as PDSCH (or PUSCH) mapping type A. PDSCH (or PUSCH) transmitted using minislots may be referred to as PDSCH (or 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。 Radio frames, subframes, slots, minislots and symbols all represent time units when transmitting signals. Radio frames, subframes, slots, minislots and symbols may be referred to by other corresponding designations.
 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), a plurality of consecutive subframes may be called a TTI, and one slot or one minislot may be called a TTI. may That is, at least one of the subframe and TTI may be a subframe (1 ms) in existing LTE, a period shorter than 1 ms (eg, 1-13 symbols), or a period longer than 1 ms may be Note that the unit representing the TTI may be called a slot, mini-slot, 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、基地局が各端末20に対して、無線リソース(各端末20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, TTI refers to, for example, the minimum scheduling time unit in wireless communication. For example, in the LTE system, the base station performs scheduling to allocate radio resources (frequency bandwidth, transmission power, etc. that can be used by each terminal 20) to each terminal 20 on a TTI basis. 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。 A TTI may be a transmission time unit such as a channel-encoded data packet (transport block), code block, or codeword, or may be a processing unit such as scheduling and link adaptation. Note that when a TTI is given, the time interval (for example, the number of symbols) in which transport blocks, code blocks, codewords, etc. 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。 When one slot or one minislot is called a TTI, one or more TTIs (that is, one or more slots or one or more minislots) may be the minimum scheduling time unit. Also, the number of slots (the number of mini-slots) constituting the minimum time unit of the scheduling may be controlled.
 1msの時間長を有するTTIは、通常TTI(LTE Rel.8-12におけるTTI)、ノーマルTTI、ロングTTI、通常サブフレーム、ノーマルサブフレーム、ロングサブフレーム、スロットなどと呼ばれてもよい。通常TTIより短いTTIは、短縮TTI、ショートTTI、部分TTI(partial又はfractional TTI)、短縮サブフレーム、ショートサブフレーム、ミニスロット、サブスロット、スロットなどと呼ばれてもよい。 A TTI having a time length of 1 ms may be called a normal TTI (TTI in LTE Rel. 8-12), normal TTI, long TTI, normal subframe, normal subframe, long subframe, slot, or the like. A TTI that is shorter than a normal TTI may be called a shortened TTI, a short TTI, a partial or fractional TTI, a shortened subframe, a short subframe, a minislot, a subslot, a slot, and the like.
 なお、ロングTTI(例えば、通常TTI、サブフレームなど)は、1msを超える時間長を有するTTIで読み替えてもよいし、ショートTTI(例えば、短縮TTIなど)は、ロングTTIのTTI長未満かつ1ms以上のTTI長を有するTTIで読み替えてもよい。 Note that the long TTI (e.g., normal TTI, subframe, etc.) may be replaced with a TTI having a time length exceeding 1 ms, and the short TTI (e.g., shortened TTI, etc.) is less than the TTI length of the long TTI and 1 ms A TTI having the above TTI length may be read instead.
 リソースブロック(RB)は、時間領域及び周波数領域のリソース割当単位であり、周波数領域において、1つ又は複数個の連続した副搬送波(subcarrier)を含んでもよい。RBに含まれるサブキャリアの数は、ニューメロロジに関わらず同じであってもよく、例えば12であってもよい。RBに含まれるサブキャリアの数は、ニューメロロジに基づいて決定されてもよい。 A resource block (RB) is a resource allocation unit in the time domain and the frequency domain, and may include one or more consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain. The number of subcarriers included in the RB may be the same regardless of the numerology, and may be 12, for example. The number of subcarriers included in an RB may be determined based on numerology.
 また、RBの時間領域は、1つ又は複数個のシンボルを含んでもよく、1スロット、1ミニスロット、1サブフレーム、又は1TTIの長さであってもよい。1TTI、1サブフレームなどは、それぞれ1つ又は複数のリソースブロックで構成されてもよい。 Also, the time domain of an RB may include one or more symbols and may be 1 slot, 1 minislot, 1 subframe, or 1 TTI long. One TTI, one subframe, etc. may each consist of one or more resource blocks.
 なお、1つ又は複数のRBは、物理リソースブロック(PRB:Physical RB)、サブキャリアグループ(SCG:Sub-Carrier Group)、リソースエレメントグループ(REG:Resource Element Group)、PRBペア、RBペアなどと呼ばれてもよい。 One or more RBs are physical resource blocks (PRBs), sub-carrier groups (SCGs), resource element groups (REGs), PRB pairs, RB pairs, etc. may be called.
 また、リソースブロックは、1つ又は複数のリソースエレメント(RE:Resource Element)によって構成されてもよい。例えば、1REは、1サブキャリア及び1シンボルの無線リソース領域であってもよい。 Also, a resource block may be composed of one or more resource elements (RE: Resource Element). For example, 1 RE may be a radio resource region of 1 subcarrier and 1 symbol.
 帯域幅部分(BWP:Bandwidth Part)(部分帯域幅などと呼ばれてもよい)は、あるキャリアにおいて、あるニューメロロジ用の連続する共通RB(common resource blocks)のサブセットのことを表してもよい。ここで、共通RBは、当該キャリアの共通参照ポイントを基準としたRBのインデックスによって特定されてもよい。PRBは、あるBWPで定義され、当該BWP内で番号付けされてもよい。 A bandwidth part (BWP) (which may also be called a bandwidth part) may represent a subset of contiguous common resource blocks (RBs) for a certain numerology on a certain carrier. Here, the common RB may be identified by an RB index based on the common reference point of the carrier. PRBs may be defined in a BWP and numbered within that BWP.
 BWPには、UL用のBWP(UL BWP)と、DL用のBWP(DL BWP)とが含まれてもよい。端末20に対して、1キャリア内に1つ又は複数のBWPが設定されてもよい。 The BWP may include a BWP for UL (UL BWP) and a BWP for DL (DL BWP). One or more BWPs may be configured for terminal 20 within one carrier.
 設定されたBWPの少なくとも1つがアクティブであってもよく、端末20は、アクティブなBWPの外で所定の信号/チャネルを送受信することを想定しなくてもよい。なお、本開示における「セル」、「キャリア」などは、「BWP」で読み替えられてもよい。 At least one of the configured BWPs may be active, and terminal 20 may not expect to transmit or receive a given signal/channel outside the active BWP. Note that "cell", "carrier", etc. in the present disclosure may be read as "BWP".
 上述した無線フレーム、サブフレーム、スロット、ミニスロット及びシンボルなどの構造は例示に過ぎない。例えば、無線フレームに含まれるサブフレームの数、サブフレーム又は無線フレームあたりのスロットの数、スロット内に含まれるミニスロットの数、スロット又はミニスロットに含まれるシンボル及びRBの数、RBに含まれるサブキャリアの数、並びにTTI内のシンボル数、シンボル長、サイクリックプレフィックス(CP:Cyclic Prefix)長などの構成は、様々に変更することができる。 The above structures such as radio frames, subframes, slots, minislots and symbols are only examples. For example, the number of subframes contained in a radio frame, the number of slots per subframe or radio frame, the number of minislots contained within a slot, the number of symbols and RBs contained in a slot or minislot, the number of Configurations such as the number of subcarriers, the number of symbols in a TTI, the symbol length, the cyclic prefix (CP) length, etc. can be varied.
