Abstract
UEs each monitor a search space in multiple CORSETs and appropriately detect a DCI. In a base station (100), a DCI generator (102) selects one of multiple cases each indicating a combination of CORSETs to be monitored by a terminal (200) among multiple control channel regions (CORSETs). A transmitter (106) indicates, by higher-layer signaling, configuration information indicating the multiple cases, and indicates the selected case by dynamic signaling.
Claims18
A terminal comprising:
- a receiver, which, in operation,
- receives, via higher-layer signaling, configuration information indicating a plurality of combinations configured for the terminal, the plurality of combinations including one combination of one or more control channel regions to be monitored by the terminal, and the one combination being specific to the terminal and different from a combination configured for another terminal, and
- receives, via dynamic signaling, information indicating the one combination out of the plurality of combinations;
- and
- circuitry, which in operation, monitors a control channel in the one or more control channel regions included in the one combination.
A communication method performed by a terminal, the communication method comprising:
- receiving, via higher-layer signaling, configuration information indicating a plurality of combinations configured for the terminal, the plurality of combinations including one combination of one or more control channel regions to be monitored by the terminal, and the one combination being specific to the terminal and different from a combination configured for another terminal;
- receiving, via dynamic signaling, information indicating the one combination out of the plurality of combinations;
- and
- monitoring a control channel in the one or more control channel regions included in the one combination.
