Abstract

Disclosed are a radio transmission device and a radio transmission method capable of containing a plenty of mobile stations for receiving low-rate data and avoiding lowering a system throughput. A group ID assigning unit ( 108 ) groups UE receiving low-rate data and assigns a frequency by using the group ID. An SCCH processing unit ( 109 ) generates an SCCH containing the group ID. A low-rate control information processing unit ( 113 ) generates low-rate control information indicating a timing slot to which a low-rate UE has been assigned. A multiplexing unit ( 117 ) multiplies low-rate control information on RB to which low-rate data is assigned when multiplexing a pilot channel, SCCH, and data.

Claims (21)

1. A radio transmitting apparatus comprising:

an allocating section that performs frequency scheduling for a mobile station apparatus and allocates a resource block comprising a control unit in frequency scheduling, to the mobile station apparatus;

a grouping section that groups a plurality of mobile station apparatuses that satisfy a predetermined requirement as low rate user equipment that receives low rate data, and assigns a group identity to the grouped low rate user equipment;

a shared control channel generating section that generates a shared control channel including the group identity;

a control information generating section that generates control information showing allocation information of a resource block allocated to the low rate user equipment;

a multiplexing section that multiplexes the shared control channel, data and the control information, and multiplexes the control information on a data field of the resource block to which the low rate data is allocated; and

a transmitting section that transmits a multiplexed signal.

2. The radio transmitting apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a control information coding section that encodes the control information arranged over a plurality of resource blocks, at the same coding rate.

3. The radio transmitting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, when one resource block is allocated to a plurality of low rate user equipment, the shared control channel reports that the resource block is allocated to the plurality of low rate user equipment, and the control information reports allocation information in the resource block.

4. The radio transmitting apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a modulation and coding scheme setting section that sets a modulation and coding scheme for the mobile station apparatus,

wherein the shared control channel specifies an average modulation and coding scheme for the low rate user equipment, and the control information specifies a relative value between each modulation and coding scheme for the low rate user equipment and the average modulation and coding scheme.

5. The radio transmitting apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a control information allocating section that allocates control information collectively to only a resource block with a best reception characteristic,

wherein the multiplexing section multiplexes low rate data on a resource block adjacent to the resource block with the best reception characteristic.

6. A radio transmitting apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a modulation and coding scheme setting section that sets a modulation and coding scheme for the mobile station apparatus,

wherein the grouping section groups low rate user equipment for which the same modulation and coding scheme is set.

7. The radio transmitting apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a receiving section that receives moving speed information of the mobile station apparatus,

wherein the grouping section groups low rate user equipment with a moving speed within a certain range, based on the moving speed information.

8. A radio transmission method comprising:

an allocating step of performing frequency scheduling for a mobile station apparatus and allocating a resource block comprising a control unit of frequency scheduling, to the mobile station apparatus;

a grouping step of grouping a plurality of mobile station apparatuses that satisfy a predetermined requirement as low rate user equipment that receives low rate data, and assigning a group identity to the grouped low rate user equipment; and

a multiplexing step of multiplexing a shared control channel including the group identity, control information showing allocation information of a resource block allocated to the low rate user equipment and data, and multiplexing the control information on a data field of the resource block to which the low rate data is allocated.
