Abstract: A radio performs random access by receiving control information and grouping a predetermined number of sequences that are generated from a plurality of base sequences into a plurality of groups by partitioning the predetermined number of sequences. At least one of the groups is associated with a first respective range of data amounts and a first respective range of reception qualities. Sequences generated from a common base sequence are arranged in an increasing order of respective cyclic shifts associated with the sequences. A sequence is randomly selected from a plurality of sequences contained in one group of the plurality of groups. A position at which the predetermined number of sequences are partitioned is determined based on the control information. A number of sequences contained in each of the plurality of groups varies in accordance with the control information.

Abstract: A radio terminal in a radio communication system receives a physical downlink control signal comprising a control field and a new data indicator (NDI) field and determines that a value of the NDI field is one of a first value and a second value. A physical uplink shared channel signal is generated according to both a specific transport format and a specific redundancy version. The control field is used to determine the specific transport format when the NDI field is determined to be the first value, and the control field is used to determine the specific redundancy version when the NDI field is determined to be the second value.

Abstract: A transmitter transmits a first channel quality information report for reporting an average of channel quality measurement values of resource blocks with a first predetermined reporting frequency. The transmitter also transmit a second channel quality information report on channel quality measurement values of a predetermined number of selected resource blocks. The second channel quality information report is transmitted between two transmissions of the first channel quality information report. The second channel quality information report on the channel quality measurement values of the predetermined number of selected resource blocks is transmitted with a second predetermined reporting frequency in the periodic transmission. The first predetermined reporting frequency is different from the second predetermined reporting frequency in the periodic transmission.

Abstract: Provided is a radio communication device which can suppress inter-code interference between an ACK/NACK signal and a CQI signal which are code-multiplexed. A diffusion unit (214) diffuses the ACK/NACK signal inputted from a judgment unit (208) by using a ZC sequence. A diffusion unit (219) diffuses the CQI signal by using a cyclic shift ZC sequence.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and arrangements that make it possible to control the delay for the UEs to access the EUL resources in the Enhanced Uplink in CELL_FACH state procedure, independently from the delay for the UEs to access ordinary UL resources in the RACH procedure. This is achieved by a solution where the timing of entering (or re-entering) a transmission procedure for Enhanced Uplink in CELL_FACH state is controlled with the help of a transmission control parameter defined specifically for this transmission procedure, instead of using the same parameter as for the RACH procedure.

Abstract: A mobile terminal camps in a first cell associated with a first reference signal with a first physical structure that relates to a first Time Division Duplex (TDD) allocation of sub-frames for uplink and downlink transmission. The first reference signal is carried by the downlink sub-frames. The mobile terminal detects a broadcast indication of a second physical structure for carrying a second reference signal that relates to a second allocation of sub-frames for uplink and downlink transmissions that differs from the first allocation. The downlink sub-frames according to the second allocation carry the second reference signal. The mobile terminal measures the second reference signal of a neighbor cell as carried by the second physical structure.

Abstract: In a multi-carrier wireless system, potential problems from reconfiguring mobile station resources to accommodate changes in component-carrier configuration are mitigated by inserting a guard period each time the configuration of component carriers changes, so that transceiver reconfiguration can be carried out without interfering with ongoing transmission. A base station is configured to transmit data to a mobile station according to a first configuration of two or more component carriers, to determine that a change of configuration to a second component carrier configuration is required, and to signal the change of configuration to the mobile station, using the first configuration of component carriers. The base station then refrains from transmitting data to the mobile station during a pre-determined guard interval of at least one transmission-time interval subsequent to the signaling of the change of configuration.

The processor is configured to determine, based on the allocation information, one of the resources of downlink, to which an ACK or NACK signal is distributively mapped onto a plurality of resource elements in subcarrier groups. The subcarrier resources within subcarrier group are consecutive in frequency domain and nonconsecutive in the frequency domain among subcarrier groups.

Abstract: A method and transmission apparatus transmit broadcast system information in a mobile communication system. Further, a method and mobile terminal receive the broadcast system information. An improved method for broadcasting broadcast system information maps different partitions of broadcast system information to a shared transport channel or a broadcast transport channel for transmission. The mapping may take into account parameters inherent to the mobile terminals to which the broadcast system information is to be transmitted and/or parameters inherent to the different partitions of broadcast system information.

A transmitter transmits a response signal on an uplink channel using the first and second uplink channel transmission spreading sequences.

Abstract: A user terminal apparatus includes a receiver to receive a control information value belonging to a set of multiple control information values. Each control information value in the set of multiple control information values is associated with a subset of random access sequences from multiple subsets of random access sequences. Different ones of the multiple subsets of random access sequences are associated with different amounts of data. A data processor selects a random access sequence from one of the subset of random access sequences based on the control information value. A transmitter transmits the selected random access sequence.

Abstract: A communication terminal adjusts the transmission timing of data transmitted to a base station so that the base station can receive the data within a predetermined delay time. The communication terminal includes a reception section for receiving priority of MAC control information transmitted from the base station, a priority control section for defining the relationship between the priority of the MAC control information and priority assigned to DRB and SRB, and a transmission message generation section for controlling so as to transmit information having a high priority early in accordance with the relationship between the priorities defined by the priority control section. According to the communication terminal, a comparison is made between the priority of the MAC control information and the priority assigned to the DRB and the SRB, whereby it is made possible to control what information is to be transmitted as desired.

Abstract: A first OFDM frame signal includes a grid of multiple frequency subcarriers and multiple time periods.—An OFDM symbol is transmitted using multiple frequency subcarriers during a time period and includes known reference OFDM symbols assigned to corresponding time-frequency resource elements in the grid. —Each resource element is defined by a one of the multiple frequency subcarriers and one of the multiple time periods. —A second OFDM frame signal is also generated, but the resource elements assigned to the known reference OFDM symbols are different from the time-frequency resource elements in the grid assigned to the known reference OFDM symbols in the first OFDM frame signal. The first and second OFDM frame signals are converted to a first and second radio signals. The first radio signal is transmitted from a first antenna and the second radio signal from a second, different antenna.
