A resource region which was defined as a control resource region in a first frame to be transmitted among a plurality of frames to be transmitted is defined as a data resource in a second or subsequent frame to be transmitted.

Abstract: Provided is a wireless transmitter capable of accurately specifying the number of multiplexed streams and correctly decoding the data signals when a preamble sequence transmitted from any antenna of a wireless transmitter is detected. In this device, a multiplex count determination unit (101) determines the number of streams used by the device itself from the same number of candidates as the number of spatially multiplexed streams. A sequence group generator (104) forms a plurality of preamble sequences into the same number of groups as the number of candidates, which is the number of streams. A sequence group selector (105) selects the group matching the number of streams determined by the multiplex count determination unit (101) from a plurality of groups. A preamble generator (106) selects the same number of preamble sequences as the number of streams in the group selected by the sequence group selector (105) and generates the preamble sequence used by the device itself.

An interference removal unit (209) obtains a signal transmitted toward the terminal (200) from the higher order relay device by employing the signals toward the other terminal devices that are received in the first period and the second period and removing a signal toward other terminal devices that is transmitted in a third period for communication between the plurality of relay devices and the terminal device from the lower order device from a signal that is received in the third period.

Abstract: Provided is a wireless communication device which can improve the notification accuracy of the channel state information (CSI) without straining the feedback circuit. In this device, a channel estimator (105) uses a pilot signal input from a wireless receiver (102) to estimate the channel and obtain a plurality of path gains in each of a plurality of delay periods. Then, the channel estimator (105) outputs the plurality of path gains to a quantizer (107). The quantizer (107) quantizes the plurality of path gains in the number of notification bits corresponding to each of the plurality of delay periods based on the correspondence of the delay period and the number of notification bits input from a setting unit (106).

Abstract: A radio transmitting apparatus wherein even if a preamble sequence transmitted via any one of the antennas of the radio transmitting apparatus is detected, the order of the space diversity can be determined with reliability and data signals can be normally decoded. In this apparatus, a deciding unit (101) decides preamble sequences the number of which is equal to the order of the space diversity and further decides transmission block intervals the number of which is equal to or greater than the order of the space diversity. An allocating unit (102) sequentially allocates the preamble sequences, the number of which is equal to the order of the space diversity, to the respective antennas, the number of which is equal to the order of the space diversity, within the respective transmission block intervals. The allocating unit (102) allocates different ones of the preamble sequences to the respective antennas at the respective same transmission timings that are within the respective transmission block intervals.

Abstract: A wireless communication apparatus, method, and system selectively utilize advantages of both centralized control and distributed control while suppressing cell searching time. FIG. 4(a) represents an example in which a P-BCH (Primary Broadcast Channel) and an S-SCH (Secondary Synchronization Channel) for centralized control and a P-BCH and an S-SCH for distributed control are frequency-divided, and the P-BCH and the S-SCH for the distributed control are transmitted to a distributed control resource. FIG. 4(b) represents an example in which a P-BCH and an S-SCH for the centralized control and a P-BCH and an S-SCH for the distributed control are time-divided, and the P-BCH and the S-SCH for the distributed control are transmitted to a centralized control resource. Since a relay station transmits the P-SCH (Primary Synchronization Channel) as a centralized control resource, a mobile station can specify sub-frame timing by using only the centralized control resource.

Abstract: There are provided a communication device, a base station, a communication system, and a communication method that make it possible to yield a diversity effect by cooperative relay without involvement of disproportionateness in data received by an eNB even when one of parties has unsuccessfully exchanged data. After received an ACK signal from a repeater 1, a repeater 2 which has transmitted a NACK signal in procedure 7 transmits data S2 to the eNB by use of its own resource, thereby making its own resource available for the repeater 1 (the repeater 2 does not use its own resource, and the repeater 1 uses the resource of the repeater 2). In procedures 8, the repeater 1 has received the NACK signal from the repeater 2 and subsequently transmits data S1 to the eNB by use of its own resource. Subsequently, the repeater 1 which has received the MACK signal in procedure 9 determines that the resource of the repeater 2 is available and transmits data P1 to the eNB by use of the resource of the repeater 2.

Abstract: An assignment section 101 determines communication resource assignment to communication terminals based on a transmission rate at which communication is possible for each subcarrier of each communication terminal, and instructs a buffer section 102 to output forward transmission data. In addition, the assignment section 101 instructs a frame creation section 103 to perform forward transmission data symbolization, and also outputs a signal indicating communication resource assignment to each communication terminal. The buffer section 102 holds forward transmission data, and outputs forward transmission data to the frame creation section 103 in accordance with instructions from the assignment section 101. The frame creation section 103 symbolizes a resource assignment signal and transmission data to create a frame, which it outputs to a spreading section 104.
