Abstract

A base station apparatus capable of communicating with a user equipment terminal using a downlink shared channel is disclosed. The base station apparatus includes a radio resource allocation unit allocating radio resource blocks to the shared channel after allocating the radio resource blocks to at least one of a synchronization signal, a common control channel, a broadcast channel, a paging channel, an MBMS channel, and a random access response channel.

Claims (12)

1. A base station apparatus communicating with a user equipment terminal using a downlink shared channel, the base station apparatus comprising:

a first offset value calculation unit configured to calculate a first offset value to be applied to downlink radio quality information reported from the user equipment terminal, wherein the first offset value is calculated based on acknowledgement information and downlink required quality, and wherein the acknowledgement information relates to the downlink shared channel;

a second value calculation unit configured to calculate a second offset value to be applied to the downlink radio quality information, wherein the second offset value is calculated based on priority levels determined depending on data types;

a transmission format determination unit configured to determine a transmission format of the downlink shared channel based on the downlink radio quality information to which the first offset value and the second offset value are applied; and

a transmission unit configured to transmit the downlink shared channel using the determined transmission format of the downlink shared channel.

2. The base station apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

upon communicating with the user equipment terminal using plural logical channels, the first offset value calculation unit is configured to calculate the first offset value based on acknowledgement information of the downlink shared channel and downlink required quality related to one logical channel from among plural logical channels.

3. A communication control method to be used in a base station apparatus communicating with a user equipment terminal using a downlink shared channel, the communication control method comprising:

calculating a first offset value to be applied to downlink radio quality information reported from the user equipment terminal, wherein the first offset value is calculated based on acknowledgement information and downlink required quality, and wherein the acknowledgement information relates to the downlink shared channel;

calculating a second offset value to be applied to the downlink radio quality information, wherein the second offset value is calculated based on priority levels determined depending on data types;

determining a transmission format of the downlink shared channel based on the downlink radio quality information to which the first offset value and the second offset value are applied; and

transmitting the downlink shared channel using the determined transmission format of the downlink shared channel.
