Original Abstract Submitted

A communication apparatus includes: a receiver configured to receive a system information block from a base station, the system information block including one or a plurality of tracking reference signal (TRS) resource configurations for the communication apparatus in a radio resource control (RRC) idle state or an RRC inactive state. The receiver receives downlink control information (DCI) including a TRS field relating to availability of the one or the plurality of TRS resource configurations, from the base station. The system information block further includes: information for configuring a correspondence between each TRS resource configuration in the one or the plurality of TRS resource configurations and a bit of the TRS information field indicating availability of the TRS resource configuration; and information for configuring a validity duration for the TRS field.
