Abstract

In a radio system which allocates resources using as units resource blocks which are formed by frequency components and time components, control information for mobile station devices, and identification information which is used to identify a format for a control information transmission channel which transmits the control information is transmitted from the base station device to the mobile station devices by means of the control information transmission channel.

Claims (22)

1. A base station device which transmits a plurality of items of control information to mobile station devices, by means of a control information transmission channel, comprising

a unit which transmits a CRC bit string which is obtained by performing CRC on the control information transmission channel to the mobile station devices by means of the control information transmission channel as identification information for formats which relate to the arrangement of the plurality of items of control information within the control information transmission channel; and

a unit which notifies information relating to a field in which the control information to be used by the mobile station devices is placed within the control information transmission channel to each of the mobile station devices.

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

the control information is downlink control information which includes any one of positions of PRB where data addressed to the mobile station devices is placed, modulation scheme, data length, and information required for HARQ.

3. The base station device according to claim 1 , wherein

the control information is uplink control information which includes any one of positions of PRB to which the mobile station devices transmit data, modulation scheme, data length, transmission timing control, power control, and a HARQ ACK/NACK for the data transmitted by the mobile station devices.

4. A mobile station device which receives a plurality of items of control information from a base station device, by means of a control information transmission channel, comprising

a unit which receives a CRC bit string which is obtained by performing CRC on the control information transmission channel from the base station device, by means of the control information transmission channel as identification information for formats which relate to the arrangement of the plurality of items of control information within the control information transmission channel; and

a unit which previously acquires information relating to a field in which the control information to be used by the mobile station devices is placed within the control information transmission channel from the base station device;

wherein the control information is acquired in accordance with the identification information.

5. The mobile station device according to claim 4 , wherein

the control information is downlink control information which includes any one of positions of PRB where data addressed to the mobile station devices is placed, modulation scheme, data length, and information required for HARQ.

6. The mobile station device according to claim 4 , wherein

the control information is uplink control information which includes any one of positions of PRB to which the mobile station devices transmit data, modulation scheme, data length, transmission timing control, power control, and a HARQ ACK/NACK for the data transmitted by the mobile station devices.

7. A control information transmission method which a base station device transmits a plurality of items of control information to mobile station devices, by means of a control information transmission channel, comprising

a step which transmits a CRC bit string which is obtained by performing CRC on the control information transmission channel from the base station device to the mobile station devices by means of the control information transmission channel as identification information for formats which relate to the arrangement of the plurality of items of control information within the control information transmission channel; and

a step which notifies information relating to a field in which the control information to be used by the mobile station devices is placed within the control information transmission channel to each of the mobile station devices, wherein the step is performed before the step of transmitting the CRC bit string.

8. A control information reception method which a mobile station device receives a plurality of items of control information from a base station device, by means of a control information transmission channel, comprising

a step which receives a CRC bit string which is obtained by performing CRC on the control information transmission channel from the base station device, by means of the control information transmission channel as identification information for formats which relate to the arrangement of the plurality of items of control information within the control information transmission channel; and

a step which previously acquires information relating to a field in which the control information to be used by the mobile station devices is placed within the control information transmission channel from the base station device, wherein the step is performed before the step of receiving the CRC bit string;

wherein the control information is acquired in accordance with the identification information.
