Abstract

A disclosed user apparatus includes a random access channel generating unit configured to generate a random access channel; a control channel generating unit configured to generate a control channel in accordance with scheduling information received from a base station; and an uplink transmission signal generating unit configure to generate an uplink transmission signal including the random access channel or the control channel. Further, the purpose ID indicating at least whether there is a user ID uniquely allocated by the base station is included in the random access channel or the control channel.

Claims (27)

1. A user apparatus comprising:

a random access channel generating unit configured to generate a random access channel;

a control channel generating unit configured to generate a control channel in accordance with scheduling information received from a base station; and

an uplink transmission signal generating unit configured to generate an uplink transmission signal including the random access channel or the control channel, wherein

a purpose ID indicating at least whether there is a user ID uniquely allocated by the base station is included in the random access channel or the control channel.

2. The user apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the purpose ID indicates not only whether there is a user ID uniquely allocated but also that there are data to be transmitted later and that there is an announcement to be transmitted later, the announcement indicating that handover is completed.

3. The user apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein

the signatures selected by the user apparatus are also classified in advance in accordance with levels of downlink channel status.

4. The user apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

signatures selected by the user apparatus are classified in advance in accordance with content indicated by the purpose ID.

5. The user apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the purpose ID is included in the random access channel.

6. The user apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the purpose ID is included in the control channel.

7. A method comprising:

a step of transmitting a random access channel including a signature from a user apparatus to a base station;

a step of allocating a radio resource for an uplink control channel to the user apparatus;

a step of transmitting a control channel from the user apparatus to the base station, the control channel including a purpose ID indicating at least whether there is a user ID uniquely allocated by the base station;

a step of allocating a radio resource for an uplink control channel to the user apparatus in accordance with at least content indicated by the purpose ID; and

a step of transmitting a control channel from the user apparatus to the base station by using the allocated radio resource.

8. A method comprising:

a step of transmitting a random access channel including a signature from a user apparatus to a base station;

a step of allocating a radio resource for an uplink control channel to the user apparatus;

a step of transmitting a control channel from the user apparatus to the base station, the control channel including a purpose ID indicating at least whether there is a user ID uniquely allocated by the base station, wherein the control channel including an information item indicating that there is the uniquely allocated user ID and that the user apparatus has data to be transmitted later or the user apparatus is scheduled to announce that handover is completed;

a step of allocating a radio resource for an uplink control channel to the user apparatus in accordance with at least content indicated by the purpose ID; and

a step of transmitting a control channel from the user apparatus to the base station by using the allocated radio resource.
