To solve a problem that although the increase of the number of frequency blocks by allocating discontinuous subcarriers (RBs) as in OFDM enables an increase in multi-diversity effect and an improvement in throughput, the number of RB allocation patterns increases with the increase of the number of frequency blocks, resulting in an increase in the amount of information relating to the allocated RBs, the resource block allocation unit is determined when resource blocks discontinuous on the frequency axis are allocated to a terminal, and the number of bits of scheduling information indicating the allocated resource blocks by using Tree Based is set to the number of bits corresponding to the determined allocation unit.

Resource allocation method, identification method, radio communication system, base station, mobile station, and program

A base station includes a transmitter configured to transmit a downlink control information to a user equipment, the downlink control information being generated based on one of (1) a first uplink allocation information indicating a first frequency block corresponding to a first plurality of subcarriers which are contiguous in frequency and (2) a second uplink allocation information indicating a second frequency block corresponding to a second plurality of subcarriers which are contiguous in frequency and a third frequency block corresponding to a third plurality of subcarriers which are contiguous in frequency, the second frequency block and the third frequency block being separated in frequency.

Wireless communication system, wireless communication setting method, base station, mobile station, and program

A radio communication system includes: a plurality of cells having different scrambling sequences, respectively, wherein at least two cells communicate with at lease two user terminals connected to different serving cells; and a controller which controls the plurality of cells and provides a single scrambling sequence to said at least two cells and said at least two user terminals for control signal transmission and reception.

Radio communication system and communication control method

A wireless communication method includes transmitting, from a base station (BS), multiple downlink (DL) signals. The wireless communication method further includes receiving, with a user equipment (UE), two or more DL signals of the multiple DL signals, and notifying, with the BS, the UE of a number of the two or more DL signals. The two or more DL signals are associated with a Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) resource.

Wireless communication method, base station, and user equipment using a physical random access channel

Provided is a technique capable of reporting resource block allocation information with no waste when an allocated resource block is reported, because in the current LTE downlink, the waste of the amount of resource allocation information increases in some cases since a restriction is imposed such that 37-bit fixed scheduling information is transmitted. A resource block group consisting of at least one or more resource blocks continuous on the frequency axis is allocated to a terminal, and the number of controlling signals for reporting allocation information indicating the allocated resource blocks is determined.

Resource allocation method, identification method, base station, mobile station, and program

A method and apparatus is disclosed herein for base station selection based on uplink pilot and distributed user-proximity detection. In one embodiment, the method comprises performing uplink pilot configuration for a plurality of user terminals over a set of common resource elements, including generating a plurality of pilot patterns for the plurality of user terminals, where each of the plurality of pilot patterns comprises at least one zero-power resource element and at least one non-zero-power resource element and at least one zero-power resource element allocated to each different one of the plurality of user terminals has a different position in the pilot pattern.
