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 (18)

1. A base station device that transmits a plurality of control information to mobile station devices, by means of a control information transmission channel that includes a CRC field and a payload, the base station device comprising:

a control unit selecting a format of the payload of the control information transmission channel to be used by a mobile station device from several kinds of formats, where the format is defined as which at least one of the plurality of control information is included in the payload, how large the at least one of the plurality of control information is, and where the at least one of the plurality of control information is arranged in the payload; and

a transmitting unit that transmits identification information for the format which is attached to the CRC field to the mobile station devices by means of the control information transmission channel, wherein

a position within radio resources where the control information transmission channel is placed is predetermined for each format.

2. A mobile station device that receives a plurality of control information from a base station device, by means of a control information transmission channel that includes a CRC field and a payload, the mobile station device comprising:

a receiving unit that receives identification information for a format which is attached to the CRC field from the base station device by means of the control information transmission channel; and

a control unit identifying a format from several kinds of formats, where the format is defined as which at least one of the plurality of control information is included in the payload, how large the at least one of the plurality of control information is, and where the at least one of the plurality of control information is arranged in the payload, wherein

a position within radio resources where the control information transmission channel is placed is predetermined for each format; and

the control information is acquired in accordance with the format.

3. A control information transmission method of a base station device transmitting a plurality of control information to mobile station devices, by means of a control information transmission channel that includes a CRC field and a payload, the method comprising:

a step which selects a format of the payload of the control information transmission channel to be used by a mobile station device from several kinds of formats, where the format is defined as which at least one of the plurality of control information is included in the payload, how large the at least one of the plurality of control information is, and where the at least one of the plurality of control information is arranged in the payload; and

a step which transmits, via a transmitter, identification information for the format which is attached to the CRC field to the mobile station devices by means of the control information transmission channel, wherein

a position within radio resources where the control information transmission channel is placed is predetermined for each format.

4. A control information reception method of a mobile station device receiving a plurality of control information from a base station device, by means of a control information transmission channel that includes a CRC field and a payload, the method comprising:

a step which receives, via a receiver, identification information for a format which is attached to the CRC field from the base station device, by means of the control information transmission channel; and

a step which identifies a format from several kinds of formats, where the format is defined as which at least one of the plurality of control information is included in the payload, how large the at least one of the plurality of control information is, and where the at least one of the plurality of control information is arranged in the payload, wherein

a position within radio resources where the control information transmission channel is placed is predetermined for each format; and

the control information is acquired in accordance with the format.
