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 sub carriers 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 (14)

1. A mobile station comprising:

a receiving unit configured to receive data transmitted using 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 indicating 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, wherein

the DVRBs' numbers are written row by row and read out column by column in a block interleaver with 4 columns where nulls, the number of which is a difference between the block interleaver size and the total number of the DVRBs, are inserted in the same row of the second and fourth columns of the block interleaver,

two of the DVRBs, the numbers of which are written in the same row of the first and third columns of the block interleaver, are mapped to the PRBs in the same frequency within a subframe, and

two of the DVRBs, the numbers of which are written in the same row of the second and fourth columns of the block interleaver, are mapped to the PRBs in the same frequency within a subframe.

2. The mobile station according to claim 1 , wherein nulls are inserted in a predetermined row of the second and forth columns of the block interleaver.

3. The mobile station according to claim 1 , wherein nulls are inserted in the last row of the second and forth columns of the block interleaver.

4. 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.

5. The mobile station according to claim 1 , wherein said receiving unit receives the allocation information, which is based on a starting DVRB number and the total number of the DVRBs in said allocated DVRBs with consecutive numbers.

6. The mobile station according to claim 1 , wherein the DVRBs are mapped to the PRBs such that the DVRBs with the same number are distributed in a frequency domain and are different in a time domain.

7. The mobile station according to claim 1 , wherein a difference between the numbers of said two DVRBs mapped to the subframe is within a predefined number.

8. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein a difference between the numbers of said two DVRBs mapped to the subframe is two.

9. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein the DVRBs with the same number are mapped to the PRBs, which are distributed with a gap of N rb /2 in a frequency domain, where N rb is the total number of the DVRBs.
