Abstract:
A wireless communication method and apparatus are provided for selecting quality-reporting sub-carriers based on sub-carrier quantity information received from a base station. The method comprises: acquiring information indicating a number of sub-carriers; measuring channel quality of each of a plurality of sub-carriers within a communication band from a received signal; selecting sub-carriers satisfying a condition related to measured channel quality bands from the plurality of sub-carriers, wherein quantity of the selected sub-carriers corresponds to the quantity of sub-carriers indicated by the acquired information; and transmitting information indicating channel quality of the selected sub-carriers.
Abstract:
A radio communication apparatus includes spreading circuitry that spreads a response signal using a first set of orthogonal sequences to produce a spread response signal. Each orthogonal sequence in the first set has a first length. The spreading circuitry also spreads a reference signal using a second set of orthogonal sequences to produce a spread reference signal. Each orthogonal sequence in the second set has a second length that is shorter than the first length. A radio transmitter transmits the spread response signal and the spread reference signal.
Abstract:
New control signaling is associated to a protocol data unit conveying user data in a mobile communication system and to the control channel signal. A mobile station and a base station and their respective operation are described in view of the newly defined control channel signals. To reduce the control channel overhead, a common field is defined for the transport format and redundancy version in the control channel information format. According to one approach, the common field is used to jointly encode transport format and redundancy version therein. According to another aspect, one shared field is provided on the control channel signal that indicates either a transport format or a redundancy version depending on whether the control channel signal relates to an initial transmission or a retransmission. In another embodiment, further enhancements to an HARQ protocol address certain error cases.

A wireless communication method and apparatus are provided for selecting quality-reporting sub-carrier bands based on sub-carrier band quantity information received from a base station. The method includes generally four steps. First, from a base station, information indicating quantity of sub-carrier bands is acquired. Second, channel quality of each of a plurality of sub-carrier bands within a communication band is measured from a received signal. Third, sub-carrier bands are selected from the plurality of sub-carrier bands, wherein quantity of the selected sub-carrier bands corresponds to the quantity of sub-carrier bands indicated by the acquired information. Fourth, information indicating channel quality of the selected sub-carrier bands is reported to the base station.

Abstract:
A terminal apparatus includes a receiving section to receive information, where the information specifies a number, and a generating section to generate, based on the number, a transmission signal including access signals which are consecutive in a time domain and which include an access signal and at least one duplication of the access signal. The access signals are identical in number to the number specified by the information. A transmitting section transmits the transmission signal on at least two consecutive time slots using a resource selected from resource candidates.
Abstract:
Provided is a radio communication base station device which can obtain a maximum frequency diversity effect of a downstream line control channel. The device includes: an RB allocation unit (101) which allocates upstream line resource blocks continuous on the frequency axis for respective radio communication mobile stations by the frequency scheduling and generates allocation information indicating which upstream line resource block has been allocated to which radio communication mobile station device; and an arrangement unit (109) which arranges a response signal to the radio communication mobile station device in the downstream line control channels distributed/arranged on the frequency axis while being correlated to the continuous upstream line resource blocks according to the allocation information.
