This terminal device comprises an upper-layer processing unit that receives a first upper-layer parameter, a PDSCH, and a reception unit that receives a PDCCH in which DCI is disposed. The first upper-layer parameter indicates whether a first field is present in the DCI. When a first TCI state and a second TCI state are retained and asymmetric TRP is set, one of the first TCI state and the second TCI state is applied to the PDSCH. When the asymmetric TRP is not set, one or both of the first TCI state and the second TCI state are applied to the PDSCH on the basis of the first upper-layer parameter.

Abstract

The present invention comprises a higher-layer processing unit that receives a first higher-layer parameter and a second higher-layer parameter. The present invention comprises a reception unit that receives a PDCCH in which DCI is placed. A first TCI state or a second TCI state is mapped to a TCI code point of the DCI, and when the TCI code point is received, both, or one, of the first TCI state and the second TCI state mapped to the TCI code point are updated. The second higher-layer parameter is configured in one, or both, of the first TCI state and the second TCI state. The first higher-layer parameter is for configuring a unified TCI state. When the first higher-layer parameter is configured, and the first TCI and the second TCI state are retained, and asymmetricTRP is configured, it is expected that the second higher-layer parameter in the first TCI state is not configured and that the second higher-layer parameter in the second TCI state is configured. When the first higher-layer parameter is configured, and the first TCI and the second TCI state are retained, and asymmetricTRP is not configured, it is not expected that the second higher-layer parameter in the first TCI state is configured or that the second higher-layer parameter in the second TCI state is configured.

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a random access (RA) reporting method and a user equipment (UE). The RA reporting method comprises: a UE performing an RA process; determining that the RA process has been completed; and the UE comprising information related to the RA process in an RA report, comprising: the UE determines that the RA process is for on-demand system information (OD-SI) acquisition and that a first system information block (SIB1) needs to be acquired, and the UE configures first RA information to indicate that the reason for triggering the RA process is a request for the on-demand SIB1; and if the RA process is performed in a network energy saving (NES) cell and fails to be performed, the UE uses public land mobile network (PLMN) information of a currently camped cell different from an RA initiation cell to perform determination and information setting for RA reporting.

Abstract

A first electrode (40r) of a first sub-pixel (Pr) is provided by sequentially laminating a first metal layer (34r) and first, second, and third transparent conductive layers (35r, 36r, 37r). A first electrode (40g) of a second sub-pixel (Pg) is provided by sequentially laminating a second metal layer (34g) and fourth and fifth transparent conductive layers (35g, 37g). A first electrode (40b) of a third sub-pixel (Pb) is provided by sequentially laminating a third metal layer (34b) and a sixth transparent conductive layer (35b). The first, fourth, and sixth transparent conductive layers (35r, 35g, 35b) are formed by using a material having a slower etching speed than that of the second, third, and fifth transparent conductive layers (36r, 37r, 37g).

Abstract

An internet of things (IoT) non-terrestrial network (NTN) device user equipment (UE) is described. The UE includes receiving circuitry configured to receive a separately configured orthogonal cover code radio network temporary identifier (OCC-RNTI) and/or a number of repetitions table for a repetition number field in downlink control information (DCI) format 0. The receiving circuitry may also be configured to receive a DCI format N0 for a narrowband physical uplink shared channel (NPUSCH) transmission with an OCC signaling including whether OCC is applied, and if OCC is applied, an OCC multiplexing factor and an OCC index. The UE also includes transmitting circuitry configured to transmit a NPUSCH with OCC multiplexing with the provided OCC multiplexing factor and the indicated OCC index on a schedule resource if OCC is indicated, or transmit an NPUSCH without OCC multiplexing on the schedule resource if OCC is not indicated.
