Abstract

There are disclosed a random access method for establishing an individual channel between a radio communication terminal device and a base station device in a short time and a radio communication terminal device executing the random access method. In this device, in step ST 320 , a RACH sub-channel allocation unit ( 211 ) allocates a transmission packet inputted from a replication unit ( 202 ) to an arbitrary sub-carrier at the RACH arbitrary time slot at random. In step ST 330 , an allocation unit ( 210 ) judges whether an overlap is generated in the allocation result obtained by the RACH sub-channel allocation unit ( 211 ). When the allocation unit ( 210 ) judges that an overlap is generated in the allocation result, the allocation unit ( 210 ) causes one of the RACH sub-channel allocation units ( 211 ) which has caused the overlap to again perform allocation of step ST 320 . On the other hand, when judgment is made that no overlap is generated in the allocation result, step ST 340 is executed.

Claims (10)

1. A receiving method comprising:

transmitting information to a terminal apparatus, said information specifying a number; and

receiving a transmission signal which is transmitted from the terminal apparatus on at least two consecutive time slots using a resource selected at random from among resource candidates, wherein

the transmission signal is generated based on said number at the terminal apparatus and comprised of access signals which are consecutive in a time domain and which include an access signal and at least one duplicate of said access signal, and said access signals are identical in number to said number specified by said information.

2. The receiving method according to claim 1 , wherein the resource candidates are a timing, a transmission frequency, or a spreading code.

3. A base station apparatus, comprising:

a transmitting section configured to transmit information to a terminal apparatus, said information specifying a number; and

a receiving section configured to receive a transmission signal which is transmitted from the terminal signal which is transmitted from the terminal apparatus on at least two consecutive time slots using a resource selected at random from resource candidates, wherein

the transmission signal is generated based on said number at the terminal apparatus and comprised of access signals which are consecutive in a time domain and which include an access signal and at least one duplicate of said access signal, and said, access signals are identical in number to said number specified by said information.

4. The base station apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the resource candidates are a timing, a transmission frequency, or a spreading code.
