Integrated circuit that controls transmission of a random access signal
View Patent ↗A communication terminal apparatus that exhibits a shorter time period required until a start of communication and causes the throughput in the wireless communication system to be less reduced. In this apparatus, when the number, N, of retransmissions notified by a response determining part ( 107 ) is zero, a subchannel-to-be-used selecting part ( 108 ) selects a subchannel, among others, which exhibits the highest order one of the reception qualities of the subchannels notified by a reception quality determining part ( 106 ), and then notifies the selected subchannel to a subchannel allocating part ( 113 ). When the notified number, N, of retransmissions is one or more, the response determining part ( 107 ) selects a subchannel which exhibits the N-th lower order reception quality than the highest order reception quality, based on the reception qualities of the subchannels notified by the reception quality determining part ( 106 ) for a pilot signal received after a transmission of the latest access request signal, and then notifies the selected subchannel to the subchannel allocating part ( 113 ).
1. An integrated circuit that controls communication between a user equipment and a base station, the integrated circuit comprising:
a transmission commander configured to command transmission by the user equipment of a random access signal through a random access channel, said random access signal using a first spreading code randomly selected from a plurality of spreading codes, and
a reception commander configured to command reception by the user equipment of an access permission signal, wherein:
said transmission commander is configured to command transmission, by the user equipment, of data to the base station through an uplink data channel in the event that the access permission signal is received by the user equipment before a response time period elapses; and
said transmission commander is configured to command retransmission, by the user equipment, of the random access signal through the random access channel without setting a back-off time after the response time period, in the event that the access permission signal is not received by the user equipment before the response time period elapses, said retransmitted random access signal using a second spreading code randomly selected from a plurality of spreading codes.
2. An integrated circuit that controls transmission of a random access signal, the integrated circuit comprising:
a transmission commander configured to command transmission of the random access signal using a spreading code randomly selected from a plurality of spreading codes; and
a determination commander configured to command determination of whether a response to the random access signal is made before a response period elapses, wherein:
said transmission commander is configured to command retransmission of the random access signal using a spreading code randomly selected from the plurality of spreading codes without setting a back-off time after the response period, in the event that the determination commander determines that the response is not made before the response period elapses.
