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 (22)

1. A base station comprising:

an interleaving unit configured to interleave consecutive Distributed Virtual Resource Block (DVRB) numbers and to map DVRBs, the numbers of which being interleaved, to Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs), each PRB being comprised of a plurality of subcarriers; and

a transmitting unit configured to transmit data using the PRBs; wherein

said interleaving unit includes 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, and the DVRB numbers are written row by row and read out column by column, and

said interleaving unit maps two of the DVRBs, the numbers of which are written in the same row of the first and third columns of the block interleaver, to the PRBs in the same frequency within a subframe, and maps two of the DVRBs, the numbers of which are written in the same row of the second and fourth columns of the block interleaver, to the PRBs in the same frequency within a subframe.

2. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein said interleaving unit includes a block interleaver with 4 columns x ceil (N rb /4) rows, where N rb is the total number of the DVRBs.

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

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

5. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein said interleaving unit maps the DVRBs to the PRBs such that the DVRBs with consecutive numbers are distributed in a frequency domain.

6. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein the DVRBs with consecutive numbers are allocated to a mobile station.

7. The base station according to claim 6 , wherein said transmitting unit transmits, to the mobile station, allocation information indicating the allocated DVRBs with consecutive numbers.

8. The base station according to claim 6 , wherein said transmitting unit transmits, to the mobile station, allocation information, which is based on a starting DVRB number and the total number of the DVRBs in said allocated DVRBs with consecutive numbers.

9. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein said interleaving unit maps the DVRBs to the PRBs such that the DVRBs with the same number are distributed in a frequency domain and are different in a time domain.

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

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

12. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein said interleaving unit maps the DVRBs with the same number 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.

13. A method for transmitting data comprising:

interleaving consecutive Distributed Virtual Resource Block (DVRB) numbers;

mapping DVRBs, the numbers of which being interleaved, to Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs), each PRB being comprised of a plurality of subcarriers; and

transmitting data using the PRBs; wherein

in said interleaving, the DVRB 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, and

in said mapping, 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.
