Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A terminal is disclosed that includes a receiver that receives a measurement configuration including an information on a number of reports. The terminal also includes a processor that, when reporting of a cell-level measurement result is triggered, controls reporting of a beam-level measurement result based on the information on the number of reports, where the measurement configuration includes a maximum number of beam-level measurement result reports. In other aspects, a radio communication method, a base station, and a system are also disclosed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A terminal comprising: a receiver that receives a measurement configuration including an information on a number of reports; and a processor that, when reporting of a cell-level measurement result is triggered, controls reporting of a beam-level measurement result based on the information on the number of reports, wherein the information on the number of reports included in the measurement configuration indicates a maximum number of beam-level measurement result reports. 2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the maximum number of beam-level measurement result reports is a maximum number of beam-level measurement result reports for all cell. 3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the processor controls to perform the reporting of the beam-level measurement result irrespective of an event corresponding to a beam-level measurement. 4. A radio communication method for a terminal, comprising: receiving a measurement configuration including an information on a number of reports; and when reporting of a cell-level measurement result is triggered, controlling reporting of a beam-level measurement result based on the information on the number of reports, wherein the information on the number of reports included in the measurement configuration indicates a maximum number of beam-level measurement result reports. 5. A base station comprising: a transmitter that transmits a measurement configuration including an information on a number of reports; and a processor that, when the base station triggers reporting of a cell-level measurement result, controls receiving of a report of a beam-level measurement result based on the information on the number of reports, wherein the information on the number of reports included in the measurement configuration indicates a maximum number of beam-level measurement result reports. 6. A system comprising a terminal and a base station, wherein: the base station comprises: a transmitter that transmits a measurement configuration including an information on a number of reports; and a first processor that, when the base station triggers reporting of a cell-level measurement result, controls receiving of a report of a beam-level measurement result based on the information on the number of reports; the terminal comprises: a receiver that receives the measurement configuration; and a second processor that, when reporting of the cell-level measurement result is triggered, controls reporting of the beam-level measurement result based on the information on the number of reports, wherein the information on the number of reports included in the measurement configuration indicates a maximum number of beam-level measurement result reports.
