Abstract
A terminal comprises: a transmission unit that transmits a reference signal used for a purpose other than a measurement related to a reception quality in a physical layer; and a control unit that assumes the measurement related to the reception quality in the physical layer is performed using the reference signal.
Claims4
A terminal comprising:
- a transmitter that transmits a first reference signal used for a measurement related to a reception quality in a physical layer, and a second reference signal having a purpose different from the measurement related to the reception quality in the physical layer;
- and
- a processor that assumes a base station to perform the measurement related to the reception quality in the physical layer using the second reference signal in addition to the first reference signal,
- wherein the transmitter omits the transmission of the first reference signal that is periodically transmitted to the base station when a specific condition is satisfied.

A base station comprising:
- a receiver that receives a first reference signal used for a measurement related to a reception quality in a physical layer, and a second reference signal having a purpose different from the measurement related to the reception quality in the physical layer;
- and
- a processor that performs the measurement related to the reception quality in the physical layer using the second reference signal in addition to the first reference signal,
- wherein the receiver is configured not to receive the first reference signal periodically when a specific condition is satisfied.

A radio communication method, by a terminal, comprising:
- transmitting a first reference signal used for a measurement related to a reception quality in a physical layer, and a second reference signal having a purpose different from the measurement related to the reception quality in the physical layer;
- and
- assuming a base station to perform the measurement related to the reception quality in the physical layer using the second reference signal in addition to the first reference signal,
- wherein the transmitting omits the transmission of the first reference signal that is periodically transmitted to the base station when a specific condition is satisfied.
