Abstract

Provided is a radio communication base station device which can prevent lowering of use efficiency of a channel communication resource for performing a frequency diversity transmission when simultaneously performing a frequency scheduling transmission and the frequency diversity transmission in a multicarrier communication. In the device, a modulation unit ( 12 ) executes a modulation process on Dch data after encoded so as to generate a Dch data symbol. A modulation unit ( 22 ) executes a modulation process on the encoded Lch data so as to generate an Lch data symbol. An allocation unit ( 103 ) allocates the Dch data symbol and the Lch data symbol to respective subcarriers constituting an OFDM symbol and outputs them to a multiplexing unit ( 104 ). Here, when a plurality of Dch are used for a Dch data symbol of one mobile station, the allocation unit ( 103 ) uses Dch of continuous channel numbers.

Claims (9)

1. A mobile station comprising:

a receiver configured to receive data transmitted on Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs), each PRB being comprised of a plurality of subcarriers, to which Distributed Virtual Resource Blocks (DVRBs) with consecutive numbers are mapped while the DVRBs' numbers are interleaved, and to receive allocation information, which is comprised of a starting DVRB number and the total number of one or a plurality of the DVRBs with consecutive numbers that are allocated to the mobile station; and

a decoder configured to decode said data based on said allocation information.

2. The mobile station according to claim 1 , wherein the DVRBs are mapped to the PRBs while the DVRBs' numbers are written row by row and read out column by column by a block interleaver.

3. The mobile station according to claim 1 , wherein the DVRBs are mapped to the PRBs such that the DVRBs with consecutive numbers are distributed in a frequency domain.

4. The mobile station according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the DVRBs are mapped to the PRBs in the same frequency within a subframe.

5. The mobile station according to claim 4 , wherein a difference among the plurality of DVRBs' numbers mapped to the PRBs in the same frequency within a subframe is within a predefined number.

6. The mobile station according to claim 1 , wherein two of the DVRBs are mapped to the PRBs in the same frequency within a subframe, and a difference between the two of DVRBs' numbers is two.

7. The mobile station according to claim 1 , wherein N d of the DVRBs are mapped to the PRBs in the same frequency within a subframe, where N rb is the total number of the DVRBs, and the DVRBs with the same number are mapped to the PRBs that are separated by a gap of N rb /N d in a frequency domain.
