1. A terminal comprising:
a reception unit that receives, from a base station, a set including a plurality of first resources that include at least a synchronization signal and optionally further include a broadcast channel;
a control unit that determines which of the plurality of first resources included in the set is to be used based on a reception quality controlled for each of the plurality of first resources; and
a communication unit that executes a random access procedure with the base station based on information included in the determined first resource of plurality of first resources, wherein
the reception unit receives, from the base station, a second resource that includes at least a synchronization signal added to the set in a time domain and optionally includes a broadcast channel,
the control unit assumes a Quasi co location (QCL) identical to a QCL assumed for any of the plurality of first resources when the second resource is received,
some resources among the plurality of first resources included in the set are added as the second resource,
the reception unit receives indexes of some first resources from the base station, and receives the second resource based on the indexes, and
the control unit indicates, to the base station, whether or not the control unit has a capability to receive the second resource.
