Abstract: Disclosed is a gap support measuring method which performs autonomous gap allocation without lowering the data transfer rate or the throughput. ST301 acquires various kinds of parameters decided by a network so as to execute a gap support measurement task. ST302 checks the current time and starts the gap support measurement task when the current time has become Ts. ST303 judges whether CQI measured by a terminal is lower than a threshold value. ST304 judges whether the threshold value should be updated. ST306 decides the gap length according to the remaining gap length and the remaining time and performs measurement within the gap. ST307 judges whether the measurement is complete. ST308 checks whether the total of the gaps exceed the entire gap length Tg.

Abstract: Disclosed are transmission apparatus and a method for sending control information in which the processing time and power consumption at the reception side are reduced by improving the efficiency of reception processing at the reception side. At a base station (100), a information generating unit (103) generates control information and an OFDM communication unit (104) transmits a frame including the control information. The control information (300) has a unicast region (320) and broadcast/multicast regions (310), and scheduling information units (330) comprising a single MS-ID, a plurality of information elements (IE) that are transmitted to each mobile station (200) corresponding to this MS-ID, and an IE number indicator, which is the number information of this plurality of IEs, are included in a group of scheduling information units arranged in the unicast region (320).
