Base station apparatus and communication method for mapping control data and user data
View Patent ↗In order to reduce interference between cells through hopping and use frequencies in a good propagation situation, a scheduler section 102 carries out scheduling for determining to which user data should be sent using CQI from each communication terminal apparatus, selects a user signal to be sent in the next frame and determines in which subcarrier block the data should be sent. An MCS decision section 103 selects a modulation scheme and coding method from the CQI of the selected user signal. A subcarrier block selection section 110 selects a subcarrier block instructed by the scheduler section 102 for each user signal. For the respective subcarrier blocks, FH sequence selection sections 111 - 1 to 111 - n select hopping patterns. A subcarrier mapping section 112 maps the user signal and control data to subcarriers according to the selected hopping pattern.
1. A base station apparatus comprising:
a mapping unit that maps control information to a predetermined block among a plurality of blocks, into which a frequency band is divided, such that the control information is distributed within the predetermined block, and that maps data to a block selected from the plurality of the blocks by frequency hopping the data within the selected block; and
a transmitting unit that transmits the control information mapped to the predetermined block and the data mapped to the selected block.
2. A communication method comprising:
mapping control information to a predetermined block among a plurality of blocks, into which a frequency band is divided, such that the control information is distributed within the predetermined block;
mapping data to a block selected from the plurality of the blocks by frequency-hopping the data within the selected block; and
transmitting the control information mapped to the predetermined block and the data mapped to the selected block.
3. The base station apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the mapping unit maps a plurality of control information for a plurality of data to the predetermined block.
