Abstract
A user equipment includes a receiving unit configured to receive a first number of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) layers and a second number of MIMO layers from a base station device, a control unit configured to select the first number of MIMO layers or the second number of MIMO layers for an activated bandwidth part (BWP) based on a type of the activated BWP, and a communication unit configured to perform communication using the selected number of MIMO layers, in which the first number of MIMO layers is a number of MIMO layers configured for a default BWP or an initial BWP, and the second number of MIMO layers is a number of MIMO layers configured for each cell.
