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.
 Universal Mobile Telecommunications System(UMTS)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Long Term Evolution(LTE)が仕様化された(非特許文献1)。また、LTE(Third Generation Partnership Project(3GPP) Release(Rel.)8、9)の更なる大容量、高度化などを目的として、LTE-Advanced(3GPP Rel.10-14)が仕様化された。 In the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) network, Long Term Evolution (LTE) has been specified for the purpose of further high data rate, low delay, etc. (Non-Patent Document 1). In addition, LTE-Advanced (3GPP Rel. 10-14) has been specified for the purpose of further increasing the capacity and sophistication of LTE (Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release (Rel.) 8, 9).
 LTEの後継システム(例えば、5th generation mobile communication system(5G)、5G+(plus)、New Radio(NR)、3GPP Rel.15以降などともいう)も検討されている。 A successor system to LTE (for example, 5th generation mobile communication system (5G), 5G+(plus), New Radio (NR), 3GPP Rel.15 or later) is also under consideration.
 既存のLTEシステム(例えば、LTE Rel.8-14)では、ユーザ端末(User Equipment(UE))は、下り制御チャネル(例えば、Physical Downlink Control Channel(PDCCH))を介して伝送される下り制御情報(Downlink Control Information(DCI)、DLアサインメント等ともいう)に基づいて、下り共有チャネル(例えば、Physical Downlink Shared Channel(PDSCH))の受信を制御する。また、ユーザ端末は、DCI(ULグラント等ともいう)に基づいて、上り共有チャネル(例えば、Physical Uplink Shared Channel(PUSCH))の送信を制御する。 In the existing LTE system (for example, LTE Rel.8-14), the user terminal (User Equipment (UE)) has downlink control information transmitted via a downlink control channel (for example, Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH)). Controls the reception of downlink shared channels (for example, Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH)) based on (also called Downlink Control Information (DCI), DL assignment, etc.). Further, the user terminal controls transmission of an uplink shared channel (for example, Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH)) based on DCI (also referred to as UL grant).
 既存のLTEシステム(例えば、LTE Rel.8-13)においては、ユーザ端末(User Equipment(UE))が基地局に対して、周期的及び/又は非周期的にチャネル状態情報(Channel State Information(CSI))を送信する。UEは、上り制御チャネル(Physical Uplink Control Channel(PUCCH))及び/又は上り共有チャネル(Physical Uplink Shared Channel(PUSCH))を用いて、CSIを送信する。 In an existing LTE system (for example, LTE Rel. 8-13), a user terminal (User Equipment (UE)) periodically and/or aperiodically transmits channel state information (Channel State Information (UE)) to a base station. CSI)) is transmitted. The UE transmits the CSI using an uplink control channel (Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH)) and/or an uplink shared channel (Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH)).
 将来の無線通信システム(例えば、NR)において、複数の送信ポイント(送受信ポイント、パネルなど)を用いる送信が検討されている。 In future wireless communication systems (eg NR), transmission using multiple transmission points (transmission/reception points, panels, etc.) is being considered.
 しかしながら、複数の送信ポイントの間でチャネル状態情報(CSI)が異なる。複数の送信ポイントに対するCSI報告が適切に行われなければ、通信品質が劣化するおそれがある。 However, the channel state information (CSI) differs between multiple transmission points. If CSI reporting is not properly performed to a plurality of transmission points, communication quality may deteriorate.
 そこで、本開示は、複数の送信ポイントに対するCSI報告を適切に行う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 perform CSI reporting to a plurality of transmission points.
 本開示の一態様に係るユーザ端末は、複数の送信ポイントにそれぞれ対応する複数のチャネル状態情報(CSI)報告に関する設定情報を受信し、前記複数のCSI報告に関する少なくとも1つの指示を受信する受信部と、前記少なくとも1つの指示に基づいて、前記複数のCSI報告を行う制御部と、を有することを特徴とする。 A user terminal according to an aspect of the present disclosure receives a setting information regarding a plurality of channel state information (CSI) reports respectively corresponding to a plurality of transmission points, and receives at least one instruction regarding the plurality of CSI reports. And a control unit that performs the plurality of CSI reports based on the at least one instruction.
 本開示の一態様によれば、複数の送信ポイントに対するCSI報告を適切に行うことができる。 According to one aspect of the present disclosure, it is possible to appropriately perform CSI reporting to a plurality of transmission points.

(複数TRP送信)
 将来の無線通信システム(例えば、Rel.16以降)では、複数の送信ポイントからそれぞれノンコヒーレントなDL(例えば、PDSCH)送信が行われることが検討されている。複数の送信ポイントからノンコヒーレントとなるDL信号(又は、DLチャネル)を協調して行う送信は、NCJT(Non-Coherent Joint Transmission)と呼んでもよい。
(Multiple TRP transmission)
In future wireless communication systems (for example, Rel. 16 and later), it is considered that non-coherent DL (for example, PDSCH) transmission is performed from each of a plurality of transmission points. Transmission in which DL signals (or DL channels) that are non-coherent from a plurality of transmission points are cooperatively performed may be called NCJT (Non-Coherent Joint Transmission).
 また、本開示において、送信ポイントは、送受信ポイント(Transmission/Reception Point:TRP)、パネル(panel、アンテナパネル、複数のアンテナ素子)、アンテナ、アンテナポート、又はセルと読み替えられてもよい。送信ポイント(TRP、パネルなど)は、例えば、ビーム、spatial filter、Reference Signal(RS)リソース、擬似コロケーション(Quasi Co-Location(QCL))、送信設定指示(Transmission Configuration Indication(TCI))、又はそれらをグルーピングした概念で置き換えることができる。 Also, in the present disclosure, a transmission point may be read as a transmission/reception point (Transmission/Reception Point: TRP), a panel (panel, an antenna panel, a plurality of antenna elements), an antenna, an antenna port, or a cell. The transmission point (TRP, panel, etc.) is, for example, a beam, a spatial filter, a Reference Signal (RS) resource, a pseudo collocation (Quasi Co-Location (QCL)), a transmission configuration indication (Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI)), or those. Can be replaced by the concept of grouping.
 複数の送信ポイントからそれぞれ送信されるノンコヒーレントのPDSCHのスケジューリングを1以上のDownlink Control Information(DCI)を用いて制御することも想定される。一例として、複数の送信ポイントから送信されるPDSCHをスケジューリングするために、複数の下り制御チャネル(例えば、PDCCH)及びDCIの少なくとも一つが利用される。 It is also envisioned to control the scheduling of non-coherent PDSCHs transmitted from multiple transmission points using one or more Downlink Control Information (DCI). As an example, at least one of a plurality of downlink control channels (for example, PDCCH) and DCI is used to schedule PDSCHs transmitted from a plurality of transmission points.
 この場合、異なる送信ポイントからそれぞれ送信されるPDSCHを同じリソース(例えば、時間及び周波数リソース)に割当てて送信することも考えられる。例えば、同じコードワード(CW)に対応するPDSCHを異なるレイヤで送信する構成(図1A参照)、異なるCWに対応するPDSCHを送信する構成(図1B参照)がサポートされる。 In this case, it is possible to allocate PDSCHs transmitted from different transmission points to the same resource (for example, time and frequency resource) and transmit the same. For example, a configuration for transmitting PDSCHs corresponding to the same codeword (CW) in different layers (see FIG. 1A) and a configuration for transmitting PDSCHs corresponding to different CWs (see FIG. 1B) are supported.
 図1Aでは、第1の送信ポイントから送信されるPDSCH(CW#1に対応)がレイヤ1及び2の少なくとも一つを利用し、第2の送信ポイントから送信されるPDSCH(CW#1に対応)がレイヤ3及び4の少なくとも一つを利用して同じ時間及び周波数リソースに割当てられる場合を示している。 In FIG. 1A, the PDSCH (corresponding to CW#1) transmitted from the first transmission point uses at least one of layers 1 and 2 and the PDSCH (corresponding to CW#1) transmitted from the second transmission point. ) Is assigned to the same time and frequency resource using at least one of layers 3 and 4.
 図1Bでは、第1の送信ポイントから送信されるPDSCH(CW#1に対応)と、第2の送信ポイントから送信されるPDSCH(CW#2に対応)が同じ時間及び周波数リソースに割当てられる場合を示している。 In FIG. 1B, when the PDSCH (corresponding to CW#1) transmitted from the first transmission point and the PDSCH (corresponding to CW#2) transmitted from the second transmission point are allocated to the same time and frequency resource. Is shown.
 また、図1Cに示すように、複数TRP送信において、複数のPDSCHが、異なるMultiple Input Multiple Output(MIMO)レイヤにおいて送信されてもよい。また、複数のPDSCHの時間リソース及び周波数リソースが重複してもよい。 Also, as shown in FIG. 1C, in multiple TRP transmission, multiple PDSCHs may be transmitted in different Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) layers. Also, the time resources and frequency resources of multiple PDSCHs may overlap.
 UEは、複数のTRPを用いる通信(例えば、複数TRP送信)を上位レイヤシグナリング(設定情報)によって設定されてもよい。UEは、複数のTRPを用いる通信のために、複数のTRPにそれぞれ対応する複数のリソースの割り当てを示す情報(上位レイヤシグナリング及びDCIの少なくとも1つ)を通知されてもよい。 The UE may set communication using multiple TRPs (for example, multiple TRP transmissions) by upper layer signaling (configuration information). For communication using a plurality of TRPs, the UE may be notified of information (at least one of higher layer signaling and DCI) indicating allocation of a plurality of resources respectively corresponding to the plurality of TRPs.
 複数のTRPは、同期(synchronous)ネットワークに属していてもよいし、非同期(asynchronous)ネットワークに属していてもよい。また、複数のTRPは、理想バックホール(ideal backhaul)を介して接続されてもよいし、非理想バックホール(non-ideal backhaul)を介して接続されてもよい。 -A plurality of TRPs may belong to a synchronous network or may belong to an asynchronous network. Further, a plurality of TRPs may be connected via an ideal backhaul or a non-ideal backhaul.
(BWP)
 将来の無線通信システム(例えば、NR、5G又は5G+)では、既存のLTEシステム(例えば、LTE Rel.8-13)より広い帯域幅(例えば、100~800MHz)のキャリア(コンポーネントキャリア(Component Carrier:CC)、セル又はシステム帯域等ともいう)を割り当てることが検討されている。
(BWP)
In a future wireless communication system (eg, NR, 5G or 5G+), a carrier (component carrier (Component Carrier: 100 to 800 MHz)) having a wider bandwidth (eg, 100 to 800 MHz) than an existing LTE system (eg, LTE Rel.8-13). CC), cell or system band, etc.) is being considered.
 一方、当該将来の無線通信システムでは、当該キャリア全体で送信及び/又は受信(送受信)する能力(capability)を有するユーザ端末(Wideband(WB) UE、single carrier WB UE等ともいう)と、当該キャリア全体で送受信する能力を有しないユーザ端末(Bandwidth(BW) reduced UE等ともいう)とが混在することが想定される。 On the other hand, in the future wireless communication system, a user terminal (also referred to as Wideband (WB) UE, single carrier WB UE, etc.) having a capability of transmitting and/or receiving (transmitting/receiving) in the entire carrier, It is assumed that user terminals (also called Bandwidth (BW) reduced UE, etc.) that do not have the ability to send and receive as a whole are mixed.
 このように、将来の無線通信システムでは、サポートする帯域幅において複数のユーザ端末が混在すること(various BW UE capabilities)が想定されるため、キャリア内に一以上の部分的な周波数帯域を準静的に設定(configure)することが検討されている。当該キャリア内の各周波数帯域(例えば、50MHz又は200MHzなど)は、部分帯域又は帯域幅部分(Bandwidth part:BWP)等と呼ばれる。 In this way, in future wireless communication systems, it is assumed that multiple user terminals are mixed in the supported bandwidth (various BW UE capabilities), so one or more partial frequency bands are quasi-static in the carrier. It is being considered to configure it dynamically. Each frequency band (for example, 50 MHz or 200 MHz) in the carrier is called a partial band or a bandwidth part (BWP).
 BWPのアクティブ化(activation)又は非アクティブ化(deactivation)が制御されてもよい。ここで、BWPのアクティブ化とは、当該BWPを利用可能な状態である(又は当該利用可能な状態に遷移する)ことであり、BWPの設定情報(configuration)(BWP設定情報)のアクティブ化又は有効化等とも呼ばれる。また、BWPの非アクティブ化とは、当該BWPを利用不可能な状態である(又は当該利用不可能な状態に遷移する)ことであり、BWP設定情報の非アクティブ化又は無効化等とも呼ばれる。BWPがスケジューリングされることで、このBWPがアクティブ化されることになる。また、当該複数のBWPの少なくとも一つのアクティブ化又は非アクティブ化が制御されてもよい。 The activation or deactivation of BWP may be controlled. Here, activation of the BWP means that the BWP is in a usable state (or transits to the usable state), and activation of BWP setting information (configuration) (BWP setting information) or Also called activation etc. The deactivation of the BWP means that the BWP is in an unusable state (or transits to the unusable state), and is also called deactivation or invalidation of the BWP setting information. Scheduling the BWP will activate the BWP. Further, activation or deactivation of at least one of the plurality of BWPs may be controlled.
(リソースセッティング及び報告セッティング)
 Rel.15においては、UEが、CSIのために、少なくとも1つのリソースセッティング(CSI-RSリソース設定(configuration))と、少なくとも1つの報告セッティング(CSI報告設定(configuration))と、を設定されることが規定されている。
(Resource setting and reporting setting)
Rel. At 15, the UE may be configured for CSI with at least one resource setting (CSI-RS resource configuration) and at least one reporting setting (CSI reporting configuration). It is prescribed.
 例えば、図2に示すように、UEは、リソースセッティング#0,#1,#2を上位レイヤパラメータ(例えば、CSI-ResourceConfig)によって設定されてもよい。各リソースセッティングは、複数のCSI-RSリソースセット(例えば、CSI-RSリソースセット#0、#1,#2)を含んでもよい。各CSI-RSリソースセットは、複数のCSI-RSリソースを含んでもよい。 For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the UE may set resource settings #0, #1, and #2 by an upper layer parameter (for example, CSI-ResourceConfig). Each resource setting may include multiple CSI-RS resource sets (eg, CSI-RS resource sets #0, #1, #2). Each CSI-RS resource set may include multiple CSI-RS resources.
 UEは、複数の報告セッティング#0,#1を上位レイヤパラメータ(例えば、CSI-ReportConfig)によって設定されてもよい。報告セッティング#0は、リソースセッティング#0,#1に関連付けられていてもよく、報告セッティング#1は、リソースセッティング#0,#2に関連付けられていてもよい。 The UE may configure multiple report settings #0, #1 by upper layer parameters (eg CSI-ReportConfig). Report setting #0 may be associated with resource settings #0, #1, and report setting #1 may be associated with resource settings #0, #2.
 Rel.15においては、CSI-RS(CSI-RSリソース)設定として、周期的CSI-RS(P-CSI-RS)、セミパーシステント(semi-persistent:準持続的)CSI-RS(SP-CSI-RS)、非周期的CSI-RS(A-CSI-RS)、がサポートされる。 Rel. In No. 15, as CSI-RS (CSI-RS resource) settings, periodic CSI-RS (P-CSI-RS), semi-persistent (semi-persistent) CSI-RS (SP-CSI-RS) ), aperiodic CSI-RS (A-CSI-RS), are supported.
 また、Rel.15においては、CSI報告として、周期的CSI(P-CSI)報告、セミパーシステントCSI(SP-CSI)報告、非周期的CSI(A-CSI)報告、がサポートされる。SP-CSI報告として、PUCCH上SP-CSI報告(SP-CSI Reporting on PUCCH)、PUSCH上SP-CSI報告(SP-CSI Reporting on PUSCH)、がサポートされる。 Also, Rel. In 15, the periodic CSI (P-CSI) report, the semi-persistent CSI (SP-CSI) report, and the aperiodic CSI (A-CSI) report are supported as CSI reports. As SP-CSI reports, SP-CSI reporting on PUCCH (SP-CSI Reporting on PUCCH) and SP-CSI reporting on PUSCH (SP-CSI Reporting on PUSCH) are supported.
 図3は、Rel.15におけるCSI-RS設定に対するCSI報告のトリガリング又はアクティベーションの方法の一例を示す図である。 Figure 3 shows Rel. 16 is a diagram showing an example of a method of triggering or activating a CSI report for CSI-RS configuration in FIG.
 SRS(Sounding Reference Signal)送信が、P-SRS、SP-SRS、A-SRSに分類されるのと同様、CSI報告は、P-CSI報告、SP-CSI報告、A-CSI報告に分類されてもよい。 Just as SRS (Sounding Reference Signal) transmissions are classified into P-SRS, SP-SRS, and A-SRS, CSI reports are classified into P-CSI reports, SP-CSI reports, and A-CSI reports. Good.
 CSI-RS設定としてP-CSI-RSが設定された場合、P-CSI報告、PUCCH上のSP-CSI報告、PUSCH上のSP-CSI報告、A-CSI報告がサポートされる。P-CSI報告は、RRCパラメータによって設定され、UEは動的なトリガ(triggering)又はアクティベーション(activation)を受信しない。 When P-CSI-RS is set as CSI-RS setting, P-CSI report, SP-CSI report on PUCCH, SP-CSI report on PUSCH, and A-CSI report are supported.

The UE may use an explicit mapping between the reporting settings for the UE.
 UEは、上位レイヤパラメータによって、複数の報告セッティングの間のマッピングを設定されてもよい。UEは、複数のTRPの1つの報告セッティングのアクティベーション、ディアクティベーション、トリガの少なくとも1つの指示を受信した場合、マッピングに基づいて、当該報告セッティングに関連付けられた、他のTRPの報告セッティングに対して、同じ指示を適用してもよい。 UE may be configured with a mapping between multiple reporting settings by higher layer parameters. When the UE receives at least one indication of activation, deactivation, trigger of one reporting setting of multiple TRPs, the UE may report to another TRP's reporting setting associated with that reporting setting based on the mapping. Alternatively, the same instructions may be applied.
 例えば、図7に示すように、複数のTRPを用いるケースに対する報告セッティングの上位レイヤパラメータ(RRC情報要素、例えば、CSI-MeasConfig)が、報告セッティングのマッピングを示す情報(例えば、L1(レイヤ1、DCI)におけるSP-CSI報告用のトリガ状態のリスト、CSI-SemiPersistentOnPUSCH-TriggerStateList)を含んでもよい。このリストは、当該報告マッピングに関連付けられた、他のTRPの報告セッティング(CSI報告設定)のID(例えば、CSI-SemiPersistentOnPUSCH-TriggerState、CSI-ReportConfigId)を示してもよい。 For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the upper layer parameter (RRC information element, eg, CSI-MeasConfig) of the report setting for the case of using multiple TRPs is information indicating the mapping of the report setting (eg, L1 (layer 1, CSI-SemiPersistentOnPUSCH-TriggerStateList), a list of trigger states for SP-CSI reporting in DCI). This list may indicate the ID (eg, CSI-SemiPersistentOnPUSCH-TriggerState, CSI-ReportConfigId) of the report setting (CSI report setting) of another TRP associated with the report mapping.
 TRP#0に対するリストに示される、関連付けられた報告セッティングIDは、TRP#1に対して設定される報告セッティングIDを示してもよい。TRP#1に対するリストに示される、関連付けられた報告セッティングIDは、TRP#0に対して設定される報告セッティングIDを示してもよい。 The associated report setting ID shown in the list for TRP#0 may indicate the report setting ID set for TRP#1. The associated report setting ID shown in the list for TRP#1 may indicate the report setting ID set for TRP#0.
 以上の実施形態2-2によれば、UEは、マッピングを用いて、少なくとも1つのTRPに対する報告セッティングを決定することができる。また、マッピングを柔軟に設定できる。 According to the above Embodiment 2-2, the UE can determine the report setting for at least one TRP by using the mapping. In addition, the mapping can be set flexibly.

The PDSCH (or PUSCH) transmitted using the minislot may be referred to as 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 frame, subframe, slot, minislot, and symbol all represent the time unit for signal transmission. Radio frames, subframes, slots, minislots, and symbols may have different names corresponding to them. It should be noted 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TTI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 TTI, a plurality of consecutive subframes may be called a TTI, and one slot or one minislot may be called a TTI. That is, at least one of the subframe and the 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 The unit representing the TTI may be called a slot, a minislot, etc. 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, TTI means, for example, a minimum time unit of scheduling in wireless communication. For example, in the LTE system, the base station performs scheduling to allocate radio resources (frequency bandwidth that can be used in each user terminal, transmission power, etc.) to each user terminal in units of TTI. 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, a codeword, or a processing unit such as scheduling or link adaptation. When a TTI is given, the time interval (eg, the number of symbols) in which the transport block, code block, codeword, 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。 Note that 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 time unit for scheduling. Further, the number of slots (minislot number) that constitutes the minimum time unit of the scheduling may be controlled.
 1msの時間長を有するTTIは、通常TTI(3GPP 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 3GPP Rel. 8-12), a normal TTI, a long TTI, a normal subframe, a normal subframe, a long subframe, a slot, or the like. A TTI shorter than the normal TTI may be called a shortened TTI, a short TTI, a partial TTI (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 a long TTI (eg, normal TTI, subframe, etc.) may be read as a TTI having a time length exceeding 1 ms, and a short TTI (eg, shortening TTI, etc.) is less than the TTI length of the long TTI and is 1 ms. It may be read as a TTI having the above TTI length.
 リソースブロック(Resource Block(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(サブキャリア(subcarrier))を含んでもよい。RBに含まれるサブキャリアの数は、ニューメロロジー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、ニューメロロジー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 a plurality of continuous 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 the RB may be determined based on numerology.
 また、RBは、時間領域において、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によって構成されてもよい。 Also, the RB may include one or more symbols in the time domain and may be one slot, one minislot, one subframe, or one TTI in length.
