Abstract

A wireless base station apparatus assigns channels to a narrowband mobile wireless terminal apparatus of type x (Rel-3 LTE) within the range of one component as its standard and assigns, to a broadband mobile wireless terminal apparatus of type y (LTE-A), channels not only within the range of one component but also channels in other components or between components.

Claims (6)

1. A wireless transmission apparatus which notifies a wireless reception apparatus of channel assignment via channel assignment information using a first scheme of performing wireless transmission using channels within a range of a first bandwidth and a second scheme of performing wireless transmission using channels within a range of a second bandwidth including the first bandwidth, and transmits data, comprising:

a first transmission unit configured to transmit, via the channels within the range of the first bandwidth, a plurality of items of first channel assignment information to be sent to a plurality of wireless reception apparatuses that employ the first scheme and support the first bandwidth as a maximum receivable bandwidth and part of a plurality of items of second channel assignment information to be sent to a plurality of wireless reception apparatuses that employ the second scheme and support the second bandwidth as a maximum receivable bandwidth; and

a second transmission unit configured to transmit a remainder of the second channel assignment information via channels in bands that are within the second bandwidth and adjacent to the first bandwidth.

2. A transmission method of notifying a wireless reception apparatus of channel assignment via channel assignment information using a first scheme of performing wireless transmission using channels within a range of a first bandwidth and a second scheme of performing wireless transmission using channels within a range of a second bandwidth including the first bandwidth, and transmitting data, comprising steps of:

transmitting, via the channels within the range of the first bandwidth, a plurality of items of first channel assignment information to be sent to a plurality of wireless reception apparatuses that employ the first scheme and support the first bandwidth as a maximum receivable bandwidth and part of a plurality of items of second channel assignment information to be sent to a plurality of wireless reception apparatuses that employ the second scheme and support the second bandwidth as a maximum receivable bandwidth; and

transmitting a remainder of the second channel assignment information via channels in bands that are within the second bandwidth and adjacent to the first bandwidth.
