- Base station 900 allocates PHICH resources to only a part of component bands in a plurality of downlink component bands, and allocates uplink resource uplink resource data using PDCCH only from part of the component bands to which PHICH resources are allocated. Send information That is, the base station 900 does not use PDCCH resources for transmitting uplink resource allocation information of uplink data in a unit band in which no PHICH resources are allocated.
- terminal 800 blind-decodes the PDCCH signal input from demultiplexing section 106 in PDCCH receiving section 802 as in the above-mentioned first embodiment.
- the size of PDCCH information bits required for blind decoding corresponds to the result of determination as to whether a PHICH resource is allocated in the component band in which the PDCCH is transmitted and to the downlink component band in which the PDCCH resource is transmitted It is determined by the bandwidth of the upstream component band.
- the information size used for blind decoding of PDCCH is determined only by the bandwidth of the downlink component band.
- the information size used for blind decoding of PDCCH is referred to the larger one of the bandwidth of the downlink component band and the bandwidth of the corresponding uplink component band. Decide. Specifically, as the frequency of the component band is smaller, the number of bits required to indicate the frequency position of the allocated channel resource is smaller. For example, when the uplink component band is larger than the downlink component band, downlink data It is determined that “0” is inserted (zero padded) into the downlink resource allocation information of Accordingly, it can be assumed that uplink resource allocation information of uplink data and downlink resource allocation information of downlink data have the same information size.
- uplink resource allocation information of uplink data and the information size of downlink resource allocation information of downlink data become the same by this zero padding, it becomes possible to try blind decoding simultaneously for both terminals. Circuit size can be reduced.
- the information for which the blind decoding has succeeded is uplink resource allocation information of uplink data or downlink resource allocation information of downlink data, 1 bit “uplink / downlink allocation included in information bits”. It can be determined by the information determination flag.
- the importance of downlink control information is generally higher than uplink control information. That is, the downlink control information is used not only for notifying resource allocation information of the downlink data channel, but also for scheduling information of other important information (for example, paging information, broadcast information). Therefore, it is desirable that the frequency of zero padding for downlink control information be reduced.
- the frequency diversity effect that the PDCCH can obtain depends on the bandwidth of the downlink component band. Therefore, in a narrow bandwidth downlink component band, the frequency diversity effect is small, and therefore, it is desirable to eliminate factors that degrade the quality as much as possible. However, with regard to zero padding, the lower bandwidth downlink component band is more likely to be zero padded.
- a method may be considered in which the sizes of uplink control information and downlink control information are made different.
- the terminal side needs to separately blind-decode two control information having different numbers of information bits. Therefore, the problem is that the number of blind decodings increases and the circuit scale increases accordingly.
- the present embodiment only the downlink resource allocation information of downlink data is allocated in the PDCCH arranged in the downlink component band in which no PHICH resource is allocated, and zero padding is not performed. A reduction in power per bit can be suppressed.
- uplink resource allocation information is not transmitted in the downlink component band in which no PHICH resource is allocated. It is possible to avoid the zero padding that is performed to match the information size of the information and the information size of the resource allocation information of uplink data. As a result, unnecessary data transmission is not performed, and the power per information bit that is originally required can be improved.
- the terminal determines whether or not the zero padding is necessary when performing blind decoding depending on whether the PHICH resource exists or not, but the PHICH resource actually exists.
- the SCH and BCH for LTE terminals for accommodating LTE terminals are arranged in the component band to be connected. Therefore, the terminal may determine whether or not zero padding is necessary according to the presence or absence of SCH / BCH for accommodating LTE terminals.
- zero padding is performed by inserting “0” in order to make the information size the same, but the present embodiment is not limited to this, and any redundant bit other than “0” is added.
- the information size may be the same.
- the present embodiment there is no need to determine that the format is 0 in a unit band in which no PHICH resource is allocated, so in a unit band in which no PHICH resource is allocated, type information of resource allocation information included in PDCCH. You can reduce bits. That is, the power efficiency of PDCCH transmission can be improved.
- the type information bit equivalent portion when the type information bit equivalent portion is not reduced, the type information bit equivalent portion of the resource allocation information has a fixed value (that is, type information indicating downlink allocation) in the component band in which the PHICH resource is not allocated. This part can also be used on the terminal side as part of the parity bit.
- Embodiment 4 The present embodiment is different from Embodiment 3 only in that the information sizes of downlink resource allocation information and uplink resource allocation information may differ from each other even when the uplink bandwidth and the downlink bandwidth are the same.
- the downlink resource allocation information and uplink resource allocation information of the downlink component band in which the PHICH resources are allocated have the same information size.
- the information sizes of the downlink resource allocation information and the uplink resource allocation information are approximately equal but not necessarily the same.
- the larger the difference between the uplink bandwidth and the downlink bandwidth the larger the difference in information size between downlink resource allocation information and uplink resource allocation information.
- the basic configurations of the terminal and the base station according to the present embodiment are the same as the configurations of the terminal and the base station described in the third embodiment. Therefore, the terminal and base station according to the present embodiment will also be described using FIG. 7 and FIG.
- PDCCH receiving section 802 of terminal 800 (FIG. 7) according to the present embodiment is the information size of resource allocation information corresponding to the bandwidth of each downlink component band, and the information of resource allocation information corresponding to the bandwidth of uplink component band It blind-decodes the PDCCH signal of each downlink component band input from the separation unit 106 using the size and the terminal ID of the own terminal.
- the PDCCH signals are respectively arranged in a plurality of downlink component bands.
- the PDCCH receiving unit 802 first specifies a CRC bit equivalent portion included in each PDCCH signal. At this time, in the base station 900 (FIG. 8), adjustment of the information size may be performed by zero padding. Therefore, in the PDCCH signal of the basic component band, PDCCH receiving section 802 is determined from the information size of downlink resource allocation information determined from the bandwidth of the basic component band and the bandwidth of the uplink component band corresponding thereto. The portion corresponding to the CRC bit is identified using the larger information size (payload size) of the information sizes of the uplink resource allocation information. On the other hand, downlink component bands other than the basic component band only include downlink resource allocation information. Therefore, in the downlink component bands other than the basic component band, the PDCCH receiving section 802 specifies the CRC bit equivalent part in the downlink component bands other than the basic component band, using the information size according to the bandwidth of the downlink component band.
- control section 901 of base station 900 (FIG. 8) according to the present embodiment is determined from the information size of downlink resource allocation information determined from the bandwidth of the basic component band and the bandwidth of uplink component band.
- Information size comparison information indicating the size relationship between the uplink resource allocation information and the information size is output to padding section 903 via PDCCH generation section 902.
- Padding section 903 adds zero information to the smaller information size until the information sizes of downlink resource allocation information and uplink resource allocation information become equal in the PDCCH signal input from PDCCH generation section 902 (zero padding). At this time, padding section 903 determines which of downlink resource allocation information and uplink resource allocation information to add zero information to based on the information size comparison information.
- FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an exemplary arrangement of PHICH and PDCCH.
- base station 900 arranges PHICH resources only in a part of downlink component bands in a plurality of downlink component bands, and performs PDCCH only from a part of downlink component bands in which PHICH resources are allocated. Uplink resource allocation information of uplink data is transmitted using this. That is, the base station 900 does not use PDCCH resources for transmitting uplink resource allocation information of uplink data in a unit band in which no PHICH resources are allocated. Therefore, the PDCCH reception unit 802 of the terminal 800 acquires downlink resource allocation information from each of the plurality of downlink component bands, and acquires uplink resource allocation information from some of the downlink component bands in which the PHICH resources are allocated.
- terminal 800 blind-decodes the PDCCH signal input from demultiplexing section 106 in PDCCH receiving section 802 as in the above-mentioned first embodiment.
- the size of PDCCH information bits required for blind decoding is determined as to whether the PHICH resource is allocated in the downlink component band in which the PDCCH is transmitted, and the downlink component band in which the PDCCH resource is transmitted. It is determined by the information size of downlink resource allocation information determined from the bandwidth and the information size of uplink resource allocation information determined from the bandwidth of the corresponding uplink component band.
- PDCCH receiving section 802 determines the information size used for blind decoding of PDCCH only by the information size of downlink resource allocation information determined from the bandwidth of the downlink component band. Do.
- the PDCCH receiving section 802 sets the information size used for blind decoding of the PDCCH to the information size of downlink resource allocation information determined from the bandwidth of the downlink component band. Then, the larger one of the information sizes of the uplink resource allocation information determined from the bandwidth of the corresponding uplink component band is determined with reference to the larger information size.
- the narrower the bandwidth of the unit band the smaller the number of bits required to indicate the frequency position of the allocated line resource. Therefore, for example, when the bandwidth of the uplink component band is wider than the bandwidth of the downlink component band, the information size of the uplink resource allocation information is larger than the information size of the downlink resource allocation information in many cases.
- PDCCH receiving section 802 inserts “0” in downlink resource allocation information (zero padding). I judge that there is. Thereby, it can be assumed that uplink resource allocation information and downlink resource allocation information have the same information size. By this zero padding, the information size of the uplink resource allocation information and the information size of the downlink resource allocation information become identical, so that the terminal 800 can try blind decoding simultaneously for both as in the third embodiment. Thus, the circuit scale of the terminal can be reduced.
- the information for which blind decoding has succeeded is uplink resource allocation information of uplink data or downlink resource allocation information of downlink data, 1 bit “uplink / downlink allocation included in information bits”. It can be determined by the information determination flag.
- the information size of the downlink resource allocation information determined from the bandwidth of the downlink component band is the band of the uplink component band If it is smaller than the information size of the uplink resource allocation information determined from the width, for this pair, the information size of the downlink is small until the information size of the downlink resource allocation information and the information size of the uplink resource allocation information become equal.
- Zero information is added to the resource allocation information.
- zero padding since zero padding is performed for size adjustment, zero information itself has no information to mean. That is, since the downlink control information includes an originally unnecessary signal, when the entire power is fixed, the power per information bit which is originally required is reduced.
- downlink control information is generally higher than uplink control information. This is because downlink control information is used not only for notifying resource allocation information of downlink data channels, but also for notifying scheduling information of other important information (for example, paging information and broadcast information). . Therefore, it is desirable that the frequency of zero padding for downlink control information be reduced.
- the frequency diversity effect that the PDCCH can obtain depends on the bandwidth of the downlink component band. Therefore, in a narrow bandwidth downlink component band, the frequency diversity effect is small, and therefore, it is desirable to eliminate factors that degrade the quality as much as possible. However, with regard to zero padding, the lower bandwidth downlink component band is more likely to be zero padded.
- a method may be considered in which the sizes of uplink control information and downlink control information are made different.
- the terminal side needs to separately blind-decode two control information having different numbers of information bits. Therefore, the problem is that the number of blind decodings increases and the circuit scale increases accordingly.
- the present embodiment as in the third embodiment, only downlink resource allocation information of downlink data is allocated in the PDCCH arranged in the downlink component band where no PHICH resource is allocated, and zero padding is performed. Since it does not exist, it is possible to suppress a drop in power per information bit that is originally required.
- uplink resource allocation information is not transmitted in the downlink component band in which no PHICH resource is allocated, as in the third embodiment, and thus the information size of resource allocation information of downlink data and It is possible to avoid the zero padding that is performed to match the information size of uplink data resource allocation information. As a result, unnecessary data transmission is not performed, and the power per information bit that is originally required can be improved.
- the terminal determines whether or not the zero padding is necessary when performing blind decoding depending on whether the PHICH resource exists or not, but the PHICH resource actually exists.
- the SCH and BCH for LTE terminals for accommodating LTE terminals are arranged in the component band to be connected. Therefore, the terminal may determine whether or not zero padding is necessary according to the presence or absence of SCH / BCH for accommodating LTE terminals.
- zero padding is performed by inserting “0” in order to make the information size the same, but the present embodiment is not limited to this, and any redundant bit other than “0” is added.
- the information size may be the same.
- the present embodiment there is no need to determine that the format is 0 in a unit band in which no PHICH resource is allocated, so in a unit band in which no PHICH resource is allocated, type information of resource allocation information included in PDCCH. You can reduce bits. That is, the power efficiency of PDCCH transmission can be improved.
- the type information bit equivalent portion when the type information bit equivalent portion is not reduced, the type information bit equivalent portion of the resource allocation information has a fixed value (that is, type information indicating downlink allocation) in the component band in which the PHICH resource is not allocated. This part can also be used on the terminal side as part of the parity bit.
- the base station configures carrier aggregation asymmetrically between uplink and downlink on a per-terminal basis using a pair of downlink component bands and a pair of uplink component bands. It is different.
- the base station manages two downlink component bands and two uplink component bands.
- the base station sets two downlink component bands in the downlink (that is, the reception band of the terminal) for one terminal in consideration of the power consumption for transmission of the terminal or the capability of the transmission RF circuit.
- only one uplink component band is configured in the uplink (ie, the transmission band of the terminal).
- two downlink component bands and one uplink component band on the low frequency side (association of solid lines shown in FIG. 10) are set in terminal 1, and terminal 2 has two terminals identical to terminal 1.
- a downlink component band and one uplink component band on the high frequency side are set. That is, in FIG. 10, while the same downlink component band is set in the downlink for the terminal 1 and the terminal 2, different uplink component bands are set in the uplink.
- each terminal is allocated uplink assignment information for its own terminal in the uplink component band set for each terminal.
- the uplink data is transmitted based on the PUSCH RB number corresponding to. That is, each terminal receives a signal transmitted using one of two downlink component bands in the downlink, while transmitting a signal using only one uplink component band in the uplink.
- one PUSCH resource as described above (FIG. 1) May be associated with multiple PHICH resources arranged in each downlink component band. Although this may cause waste of PHICH resources, it is possible to prevent contention of PHICH resources and to prevent significant degradation of system performance.
- carrier aggregation is configured in which the number of component bands set for each terminal is asymmetrical between uplink and downlink and the positions of uplink component bands set for each terminal are different. If there are, it is possible that PUSCH resources arranged in different uplink component bands may be associated with the same PHICH resource. For example, in FIG. 10, PUSCH resources respectively arranged in different uplink component bands (low frequency side and high frequency side) set for terminal 1 and terminal 2 and the same set for both terminal 1 and terminal 2 There is a possibility that the PHICH resources arranged in the downstream component band of may be used in association with each other. In this case, a state in which the same PHICH resource is used between the terminal 1 and the terminal 2, that is, a contention of the PHICH resource occurs.
- the number of uplink component bands and the number of downlink component bands set for one LTE terminal are both one, and symmetry is guaranteed in the number of uplink and downlink component bands. It was Therefore, in the LTE system, it is possible to always associate PUSCH resources and PHICH resources on a one-to-one basis. Therefore, in order to reduce the signaling overhead required to notify the PHICH resource to the terminal, it has been performed to associate the PHICH resource with the PUSCH RB number. That is, in the LTE system, PUSCH resources arranged in different uplink component bands are respectively associated with PHICH resources arranged in different downlink component bands.
- the same PUSCH resource contention does not occur between PUSCH resources arranged in different uplink component bands.
- information indicating uplink component bands corresponding to each downlink component band is broadcast to terminals using BCHs arranged in each downlink component band.
- the LTE + terminal sets the response signal for uplink data from the own terminal to the uplink component band used by the own terminal among the plurality of downlink component bands (that is, for the own terminal).
- the information on the uplink component band) (information including the frequency position of the uplink component band, the frequency bandwidth of the uplink component band, and the like) is extracted from the PHICH arranged in the downlink component band in which the BCH is arranged.

- the broadcast information receiving unit 107 acquires the association between the RB number of PUSCH and the PHICH resource number of PHICH, and PHICH resource information indicating the number of PHICH resources. Then, broadcast information receiving section 107 outputs, to resource control section 108, downlink quasi-basic element band information indicating the downlink quasi-basic element band and PHICH resource information.
- resource control section 108 Based on the downlink basic component band information and PHICH resource information input from broadcast information receiving section 107, and uplink resource allocation information input from PDCCH receiving section 110, resource control section 108 performs uplink from the own terminal. A PHICH to which a response signal to data is assigned is identified. Here, the PHICH to which a response signal to uplink data from terminal 100 is assigned is allocated to the downlink basic component band for terminal 100 among the plurality of downlink component bands. Therefore, the resource control unit 108 identifies the downlink component band in which the PHICH is allocated, based on the PHICH resource information and the downlink quasi-basic unit band information.
- resource control section 108 specifies the PHICH resource number of PHICH associated with the RB number of PUSCH used for transmitting uplink data of the own terminal.

- the terminal 1 and the terminal 2 (LTE + terminal) shown in FIG. 11 respectively have the configuration of the terminal 100 shown in FIG.
- the base station 200 determines which downlink component band and which uplink component band are to be set for each terminal.
- the number of downlink component bands set for each terminal is two, and the number of uplink component bands is one smaller than the number of downlink component bands. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, base station 200 sets two downlink component bands and one uplink component band on the low frequency side (association of solid lines shown in FIG.
- the base station 200 notifies the set downlink component band and uplink component band to each terminal, it is not necessarily limited to transmitting downlink signals to each terminal in all subframes in the set component band. It does not necessarily instruct each terminal to transmit an uplink signal.

- control unit 201 of the base station 200 allocates uplink resource allocation information and downlink resource allocation information to be notified to the terminal 100 to any of the PDCCHs arranged respectively for the two downlink component bands shown in the upper part of FIG.
- Demultiplexing section 106 of terminal 100 decouples PDCCH signals arranged respectively in the two downlink component bands shown in the upper part of FIG. 11 from received signals, and PDCCH receiving section 110 allocates resources for the own terminal from the despread PDCCH signals.
- Information (uplink resource allocation information and downlink resource allocation information) is acquired.
- the frequency mapping unit 115 of the terminal 100 maps the transmission data (uplink data) to the PUSCH arranged in the uplink component band shown in the lower part of FIG. 11 according to the acquired uplink resource allocation information. However, it is notified in advance which uplink component band is set from base station 200 to terminal 100.
- response signal generation section 204 of base station 200 generates a response signal (ACK signal or NACK signal) for uplink data from terminal 100.

- resource control section 108 of terminal 100 selects a downlink basic component band for the own terminal as a downlink component band to which a response signal for uplink data is allocated. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 11, even if the PDCCH to which the resource allocation information for the terminal 1 is assigned is a PDCCH allocated to any of two downlink component bands, the resource control unit 108 of the terminal 1 is a base station Similar to the control unit 201 of 200, it controls to extract a response signal to uplink data from the PHICH arranged in the downlink component band on the low frequency side (the downlink quasi-base component band for the terminal 1).
- the resource control unit 108 calculates the PHICH resource number of the PHICH associated with the RB number of the PUSCH to which the uplink data is mapped. Then, demultiplexing section 106 extracts a response signal to uplink data from PHICH which is a PHICH arranged in the downlink component band selected by resource control section 108 and is a PHICH resource number calculated by resource control section 108.
- the downlink basic component band to which the PHICH to which the response signal to uplink data from the LTE + terminal is allocated is: It is determined based on BCH for LTE terminals.
- a PDCCH to which resource allocation information for a certain terminal is allocated is allocated to any of two downlink component bands. Therefore, even if PDCCH resources arranged in one downlink component band are scarce, base station 200 can use PDCCH arranged in the other downlink component band, so that efficient PDCCH Operation becomes possible.
- the LTE + base station allocates uplink resource allocation information and downlink resource allocation information to PDCCHs respectively arranged in a plurality of downlink component bands, and transmits a response signal to uplink data.
- the plurality of downlink component bands it is allocated to the PHICH arranged in the downlink quasi basic component band for each terminal.
- the present embodiment is different from the fifth embodiment in that Discontinuous Repeat (DRX) is configured independently for each component band in order to reduce power consumption of a terminal.
- DRX Discontinuous Repeat
- each terminal is continuously notified of setting of two downlink component bands from the base station, it is actually that a large number of signals to be transmitted from the base station to each terminal are generated continuously on the time axis. Is rare, so it is sufficient for the terminal to receive only one downlink component band at a given time. Therefore, in a certain component band, a terminal receives a signal in that component band for a part of time (period), and receives a signal in that component band for another time (period) other than a part of time to receive a signal.
- the power consumption of the terminal can be reduced by negotiating between the base station and the terminal with no operation (i.e., DRX operation).
- a cycle including a "period for receiving a signal” and a “period for pausing reception of a signal” is called a DRX cycle.
- the DRX cycle is repeated, for example, in tens of ms cycles.
- the terminal performs DRX independently for each downlink component band.
- the terminal performs DRX independently for each downlink component band.
- the base station is low. It is necessary to transmit the response signal using the PHICH arranged in the downlink component band on the frequency side (the quasi-basic component band for terminal 1).
- the terminal receives the response signal because it is in DRX in the downlink component band on the low frequency side (that is, reception is suspended). There are cases where you can not do it.
- priority assignment is performed to downlink component bands in which PHICHs to which a response signal addressed to each terminal is allocated are allocated.
- each terminal according to the present embodiment is a downlink component band in which a PHICH to which a response signal for the terminal is allocated is allocated based on the information of the quasi-basic component band for the terminal. Identify. However, if the quasi-basic unit band for the own terminal is in DRX at the reception timing of the response signal, the terminal receives the response signal in the downlink component band in which the PDCCH used for transmitting uplink resource allocation information is allocated. The downlink component band to which the PHICH to be used is allocated is determined.
- the terminal 1 when uplink resource allocation information is transmitted using the PDCCH arranged in the downlink component band on the high frequency side, the terminal 1 normally executes a response signal for uplink data. In the same manner as in the fifth aspect, it is extracted from the PHICH arranged in the downlink component band on the low frequency side which is the downlink quasi-basic component band for the own terminal. However, when the component band on the low frequency side shown in FIG. 12 is in DRX, terminal 1 has the same response signal to uplink data as the PDCCH used for transmitting uplink resource allocation information for the terminal. It extracts from PHICH arranged in the downstream component band on the high frequency side. As in the fifth embodiment, the PHICH resource number is determined in association with the PUSCH RB number used for uplink data transmission.
- the terminal 1 is allocated to the downlink component band on the high frequency side with the priority of the PHICH allocated to the downlink component band on the low frequency side (downlink basic component band to the terminal 1) being No. 1.
- the terminal 1 sets the priority of the PHICH to 2nd.
- the terminal 1 specifies the PHICH to which the response signal to the uplink data from the own terminal is allocated according to the priority order of the PHICH and the state of the DRX.
- the priority of PHICH is similarly set in the terminal 2 (not shown).
- the terminal is allocated to the PHICHs allocated to the plurality of downlink component bands allocated to the own terminal as the downlink component band to which the PHICH to receive the response signal is allocated.
- the terminal basically receives uplink resource allocation information using PDCCH arranged in the downlink component band not in DRX, the PDCCH is arranged also when receiving a response signal to uplink data It is likely that the downstream component band is not in DRX. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, even when DRX is executed independently for each component band, the terminal can not receive the PHICH to which the response signal addressed to the own terminal is allocated while suppressing the overhead of the PHICH resource. It can prevent.
- the response signal is transmitted using PHICH resources (for example, PHICH with priority 2 shown in FIG. 12) arranged in the same downlink component band as PDCCH used for receiving uplink resource allocation information.
- PHICH resources for example, PHICH with priority 2 shown in FIG. 12
- the PHICH from which the terminal extracts the response signal is not limited to the PHICH associated with the PUSCH RB number, but may be a PHICH separately notified to the terminal. It is very unlikely that the lower priority PHICH (in FIG. 12, the priority: 2 PHICH) is used. Therefore, even if the base station separately notifies the terminal of a PHICH resource with lower priority, this PHICH resource is shared with other terminals by simple schedule control on the base station side, so the overhead of this PHICH resource Is very small.
- the first to fourth embodiments of the present invention are applied only when the uplink and downlink communication bandwidths are asymmetric, that is, only when the number of uplink component bands is smaller than the number of downlink component bands. Good.
- the uplink and downlink communication bandwidths are symmetrical (when the uplink and downlink communication bandwidth ratio is 1 to 1), as shown in FIG. Select the PHICH arranged in the same downlink component band as the downlink component band in which.
- the terminal is connected to a part of downlink component bands (FIGS. 5 and 6) in the same manner as in the above embodiment (eg, FIGS. 5 and 6).
- FIG. 13 illustrates the case where part of the component bands are LTE + bands, the present invention is also applicable to the case where all component bands are LTE / LTE + coexistence bands in FIG.
- channel assignment of downlink response signals to uplink data has been described, but the present invention also applies to channel assignment of uplink response signals to downlink data.
- the terminal is a part of the uplink component bands as many as the downlink component bands among the plurality of uplink component bands (for example, LTE / LTE + coexistence
- the uplink response signal is allocated to the uplink response signal resource arranged in the band).
- the terminal allocates a response signal to uplink response signal resources allocated to some of the uplink component bands regardless of the uplink component band that has received the PDCCH or PDSCH allocated to one downlink component band. Even in this case, the same effect as that of the above embodiment can be obtained.
- SCH / BCH which an LTE + terminal can receive may be arrange
- the PHICH and the PDCCH are time-divided has been described as the arrangement of the PHICH and the PDCCH (for example, FIG. 5 and FIG. 6). That is, orthogonal resources in the time domain are allocated to PHICH and PDCCH, respectively.
