Radio communication system
A radio communication system in which a plurality of radio channels are divided in a frequency direction and mapped to a radio frame format, whereby each radio channel mapped in the radio frame format is assigned to each user or service. The radio communication system includes a radio communication apparatus and a terminal to receive a pilot signal and a data signal from the radio communication apparatus, whereby the radio communication apparatus controls a pilot signal position for each user or service and notifies information used for identifying the pilot signal position to the terminal.
1. A radio communication system in which a plurality of radio channels are divided in a frequency direction and mapped to a radio frame format, wherein each radio channel mapped in the radio frame format is assigned to each user or service, the radio communication system comprising:
a radio communication apparatus; and
a terminal,
wherein the radio communication apparatus controls a control channel position for each user or service and notifies information used for identifying the control channel position to the terminal.
2. The radio communication system according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal receives the pilot signal and the data signal according to the notified information.
3. A connection setting method in a radio communication system with each radio channel including a pilot signal and a data signal, the radio communication system dividing a plurality of radio channels in a frequency direction for mapping to a radio frame format, the method comprising:
selecting, by a base station, an unutilized radio frame format from a plurality of radio formats with pilot signal positions controlled for each user or service;
notifying from a base station, a corresponding terminal of the selected radio frame format; and
notifying from the corresponding terminal, the base station of the completion of a setting to start data transmission/reception with the use of the notified radio frame format.
4. A base station used in a radio communication system in which a plurality of radio channels are divided in a frequency direction and mapped to a radio frame format, each radio channel being constituted with a control signal and a data signal for each user or service, the radio communication apparatus comprising:
a radio frame format control unit controls a control channel position for each user or service; and
a transmitting unit transmits information used for identifying the control channel position to the terminal.
5. A terminal used in a radio communication system in which a plurality of radio channels are divided in a frequency direction and mapped to a radio frame format, each radio channel being constituted with a control signal and a data signal for each user or service, the radio communication apparatus comprising:
a receiving unit receives a control channel according to the information used for identifying control channel position from a base station wherein
said control channel position is controlled by the base station.
