Abstract

A user equipment terminal for transmitting control information to a base station according to a single carrier scheme includes a wideband control information generating unit configured to generate wideband control information for a whole system band or a portion thereof; a frequency-selective control information generating unit configured to generate frequency-selective control information; and a control unit configured to control the wideband control information to be transmitted on a control channel or a data channel and control the frequency-selective control information to be transmitted on the data channel.

Claims (17)

1. A user equipment terminal, comprising:

a first transmitting unit configured to transmit, on a control channel, CQI information which is to be periodically transmitted,

wherein resource blocks at both ends of plural resource blocks making up a system band are available for transmission on the control channel and resource blocks between the resource blocks available for transmission on the control channel are available for transmission on a data channel; and

a second transmitting unit configured to transmit, on the data channel, CQI information which is to be non-periodically transmitted.

2. The user equipment terminal as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the first transmitting unit transmits, on the control channel, wideband CQI information; and

wherein the second transmitting unit transmits, on the data channel, CQI information on a frequency block basis, wherein the system band is divided into plural frequency blocks.

3. The user equipment terminal as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

a control unit configured to control wideband CQI information and frequency-selective CQI information to be transmitted on the data channel, when the wideband CQI information and the frequency-selective CQI information are transmitted at a same timing,

wherein the system band is divided into plural frequency blocks and the frequency-selective CQI information is formed on a frequency block basis.

4. A transmission method, comprising the steps of:

transmitting, on a control channel, CQI information which is to be periodically transmitted, wherein resource blocks at both ends of plural resource blocks making up a system band are available for transmission on the control channel and resource blocks between the resource blocks available for transmission on the control channel are available for transmission on a data channel; and

transmitting, on the data channel, CQI information which is to be non-periodically transmitted.

5. A communication system including a user equipment terminal and a base station apparatus, the user equipment terminal comprising:

a first transmitting unit configured to transmit to the base station apparatus, on a control channel, CQI information which is to be periodically transmitted,

wherein resource blocks at both ends of plural resource blocks making up a system band are available for transmission on the control channel and resource blocks between the resource blocks available for transmission on the control channel are available for transmission on a data channel; and

a second transmitting unit configured to transmit to the base station apparatus, on the data channel, CQI information which is to be non-periodically transmitted.
